The Chiefs waived/injured Oladokun (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Oladokun participated in the first two preseason games for the Chiefs before missing the third due to injury. The quarterback completed 10 of his 17 pass attempts for 78 yards and an interception. The 28-year-old also rushed four times for 32 yards. Oladokun was unable to outperform Justin Fields or Garrett Nussmeier and will now be placed on waivers. The quarterback will likely go unclaimed and spend the entirety of the 2026 season on the Chiefs' injured reserve list unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Chiefs waived/injured Oladokun (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier have won spots on the initial 53-man roster as the backup and emergency quarterbacks behind Patrick Mahomes (knee). Oladokun missed Friday's preseason finale against the Seahawks due to an unknown injury, meaning the quarterback will revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers. If the 28-year-old does revert to IR, he will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Jaguars waived/injured Bradley (undisclosed) on Sunday, John Oehser reports.

Bradley played in all three preseason games for the Jaguars, completing 24 of his 45 pass attempts (53 percent) for 233 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. The Jaguars traded for second-year quarterback Quinn Ewers on Saturday, making Bradley's role as the reserve option obsolete. The quarterback will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will revert to the Jaguars' injured reserve list. If Bradley reverts to IR, he will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Richardson remains on the 53-man roster for the Colts.

Richardson requested a trade over the offseason, but the Colts elected not to move him, and he remains part of the Indianapolis organization for the time being. It remains to be seen, though, if he or Riley Leonard will open as the backup behind starting signal-caller Daniel Jones.

Lance has won the Chargers' backup quarterback job, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Lance will serve as the team's top reserve option behind starter Justin Herbert for the second straight season. The former completed 22 of 38 passes for 237 yards while also adding nine carries for 91 yards over the team's three preseason contests. Lance will ultimately get the nod over DJ Uiagalelei for the No. 2 role this season, and it's possible that new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel finds creative ways to get the dual-threat Lance more involved in the game plan in 2026.

McCarthy (ankle) remains on the 53-man roster for the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

There was talk leading up to cut-down day that McCarthy could be traded or even released, but he will remain with Minnesota for the time being. Kyler Murray will open the season as the starting quarterback for the Vikings, and either McCarthy or Carson Wentz will back him up.

Uiagalelei was waived by the Chargers on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Despite a relatively productive collegiate career, Uiagalelei went undrafted in 2025 before spending time on the Chargers' practice squad as a rookie. He most recently appeared in three preseason games in 2026, throwing for 341 yards and two touchdowns while completing just 57.1 percent of his passing attempts. If Uiagalelei clears waivers, he could be brought back to the practice squad.

The Cardinals waived Slovis on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Slovis was competing for a depth spot behind Jacoby Brissett but lost out to Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck (ribs). Slovis spent time on both Arizona's practice squad and active roster, completing one of his two pass attempts across two appearances.

Green has made the Browns' initial 53-man roster, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Green was selected in the sixth round of this year's draft after finishing his college career at Arkansas in 2025. The quarterback saw limited action during the preseason, completing five of seven passes for 27 yards while also adding an eight-yard rush. The Browns placed Dillon Gabriel (back) on injured reserve with a designation to return Sunday, and Green will get a chance to serve as the team's No. 3 QB behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders in Gabriel's absence.
