Trost (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Trost suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of the team's 20-12 preseason win over Kansas City on Saturday. As a result, the offensive lineman will be forced to miss the remainder of the preseason, and he'll now shift his focus to being ready to go for Week 1 against the 49ers on Sept. 10 in Australia.

Bennett was waived by the Bears on Monday.

The running back signed with Chicago as an undrafted free agent in May. Bennett recorded 764 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, as well as 27 catches for 314 receiving yards and three additional scores, with Kennesaw State in 2025. He'll now have to look for another opportunity in the NFL.

Kalinic (knee) was waived/injured by the Bears on Monday.

The tight end injured his right knee during Chicago's preseason win over Cleveland on Saturday and headed to the locker room. If Kalinic clears waivers, he will need to reach an injury settlement with the Bears to have a chance to play in 2026, though the severity of his ailment remains unclear. The former Ram and Colt was competing for a depth role with Chicago.

Jean-Charles (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.

Jean-Charles recorded one tackle in Saturday's 17-7 preseason loss to the Cowboys, but he is now set to miss the entirety of the 2026 season while recovering from an undisclosed injury. The cornerback will have to reach an injury settlement with the Seahawks in order to have a chance to play this year.

Reese and the Bills agreed on a contract Monday.

Reese will return to Buffalo after being released by the team Friday. The linebacker appeared in 20 regular-season games between 2023 and 2024 with the Titans, registering 38 total tackles (20 solo) and an interception in that span. Reese didn't play in a regular-season game last year, and he's likely competing for a practice squad spot with the Bills in 2026.

Bamba is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks with a right knee injury, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Bamba likely suffered the injury during Friday's 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers in the team's preseason opener. The cornerback recorded five total tackles (three solo) and four passes defensed in the contest, but he now appears to be set to miss the remainder of the preseason.

Acker was waived by the Bills on Monday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

The fullback signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in May after five seasons at Wisconsin. Acker saw action on three offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps in the Bills' preseason opener against the Panthers on Saturday, as he continued to compete with Ben VanSumeren for the team's open fullback role.

Hampton (undisclosed) was waived after reaching an injury settlement with the Panthers on Monday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official website reports.

Hampton reverted to injured reserve with Carolina on Aug. 10 after he was waived/injured one day earlier. Now that he has reached an injury settlement with the team, he'll be able to pass a physical and potentially play elsewhere in 2026. The linebacker compiled 10 total tackles (four solo) over 12 regular-season contests with the Rams in 2025, playing 194 of his 306 total snaps with the special-teams unit.

Hall signed with the Texans on Monday.

The cornerback spent the entire 2025 season on Tampa Bay's practice squad. Hall last started an NFL regular-season game in 2023 with the Jets.

The Buccaneers waived Banks (undisclosed) on Monday with an injury designation, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The nature and severity of Banks' injury isn't clear, but it may have prevented him from playing in the Buccaneers' 24-16 preseason win over the Jets on Friday. If Banks clears waivers, then he would revert to injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season, unless he reached an injury settlement with Tampa Bay.
