The Bills waived Brown on Sunday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

Brown was signed by Buffalo on Monday after Mitch Trubisky sustained a knee injury. Brown completed 11 of 12 passes for 102 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers, but the Bills will let him go in favor of Ben DiNucci. Assuming he clears waivers, Brown will look to catch on with another team as a practice squad/emergency quarterback.

The Falcons waived Paddock on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

After being waived by the Falcons on Aug. 1, Paddock rejoined the team 10 days later after Nathan Rourke was let go. Across his two preseason outings, Paddock completed 10 of 20 pass attempts for 82 yards, most of which came in the Falcons' second preseason game against the Ravens. Assuming he clears waivers, Paddock will look to catch on with a team as a practice squad/emergency quarterback.

The Rams waived Winn on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Winn made his lone preseason appearance against the Texans on Saturday, finishing the game by completing nine of 16 pass attempts for 72 yards. He'll look to catch on with another team as a practice squad quarterback assuming he clears waivers.

The Colts waived Slovis on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Slovis signed with the Colts in April as an undrafted free agent out of BYU. He was competing against Sam Ehlinger for the emergency quarterback job behind Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco, and Slovis finished the preseason completing 16 of 22 pass attempts for 149 yards across three outings. Slovis will look to catch on with another team should he clear waivers.

The Dolphins released White on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

White had been competing with Skylar Thompson for the No. 2 quarterback role throughout camp, and the move signals that Thompson has emerged on top in that job battle. The 29-year-old White completed just 20 of 43 pass attempts for 179 yards without a touchdown or interception during the preseason, but he's had enough in-game NFL experience with some success -- specifically in 2021 and 2022 with the Jets -- to be an appealing option for teams needing quarterback depth.

Keenum headed to locker room during Saturday's preseason game with what appeared to be an arm issue, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.

Keenum, who walked off the field under his own power, appeared to have dinged his arm while following through on a throw. Testing revealed the 36-year-old sustained bruising. He'll be the third quarterback on the depth chart this season.

Smith completed four of five passes for 62 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 37-33 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday night.

The veteran signal-caller drew the start, and after throwing incomplete to DK Metcalf on his first pass attempt, he proceeded to briskly march the Seahawks downfield on a 62-yard touchdown drive. Along the way, Smith recorded completions of 25 and seven yards to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as well as a 21-yard scoring toss to Metcalf, getting some very encouraging tune-up work completed before a Week 1 home showdown against the Broncos on Sept. 8. Smith will be operating in a new offense this season, but his core of skill players has full continuity, upping his chances of success.

Trask completed 17 of 24 passes for 141 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one carry for one yard in the Buccaneers' 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday night.

Baker Mayfield started and led the Buccaneers on a touchdown drive during the opening possession, and Trask subsequently took over for the duration of the contest. As his final line implies, the third-year signal-caller was sharp and mistake-free throughout, and he connected with Ryan Miller (10 yards) and Tanner Knue (two yards) for his pair of scoring tosses. With John Wolford not seeing any action Friday and Trask looking impressive with his extended opportunity, it appears likely the latter has locked up the No. 2 quarterback job.

DeVito completed 14 of 27 passes for 103 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets. He added five rushes for 48 yards.

The Giants opted not to play Daniel Jones or Drew Lock (hip), leaving DeVito to play the entire contest. He turned in an uneven performance, as he was sacked eight times and averaged an abysmal 3.8 yards per attempt. However, DeVito showed some resiliency and managed to move the ball with short passes and scrambles to lead two scoring drives. He'll enter the season as nothing better than the third quarterback on the depth chart, though it's unclear if he'll survive cutdown day.

Lock (hip) did not appear in Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets.

Lock injured his hip in the Giants' first preseason contest and has not appeared in game action since. However, he has returned to team drills and was spotted in pads before Saturday's game. Considering the health concerns surrounding starter Daniel Jones, the Giants had little to gain by putting Lock in potential jeopardy ahead of the regular season. Lock will enter the season as the backup, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up.
