The Packers waived McGough on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

McGough got his first preseason action on Saturday against the Seahawks. He completed four of five passes for 69 yards including a 52-yard pass on the game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. He was a longshot to win the backup spot against 2023 fifth-round pick Sean Clifford, but McGough could return to the Packers' practice squad once he clears waivers.

The Eagles waived Book on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

No surprise here, as Book was the No. 4 quarterback on Philly's depth chart. The Notre Dame product has suited up for just one game since entering the league. However, that game was a start with New Orleans, and he ultimately went 12 for 20 on his way to 135 yards and two interceptions. The 25-year-old is now set to look for a new opportunity.

Fromm was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Fromm was working to beat out Jacoby Brissett for the team's No. 2 quarterback position, or at least convince them to keep three, but ultimately he was unable to do so. The Georgia product will now hope to land a practice squad spot.

The Jets released Boyle on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Boyle showed steady improvement over the Jets' three preseason games, but his performances weren't enough to land him a spot on the 53-man roster. Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson will begin the year as the team's two active quarterbacks, while Boyle could land on the team's practice squad if he doesn't find work elsewhere.

The Bears released Peterman on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Peterman served as the Bears' backup quarterback in 2022, but Tyson Bagent secured the role to begin the 2023 campaign. However, Peterman made some solid plays during the preseason and is a strong candidate to wind up on the Bears' practice squad.

The Rams cut Rypien on Tuesday.

Rypien was competing with rookie Stetson Bennett for the No. 2 gig behind Matthew Stafford, and while neither backup shined during the preseason, the Rams are opting to go with the Georgia product. Rypien has appeared in eight career games (all with Denver), but he's struggled with turnovers when given a chance, posting a 4:8 TD:INT in his career.

The Rams waived Winn on Tuesday.

Winn signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in May but ultimately won't make the initial 53-man roster. The quarterback completed three of five passes for 21 yards during Los Angeles' preseason finale and could be brought back on a practice-squad deal if he clears waivers.

The Patriots have waived Cunningham, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

With Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relaying Tuesday that Bailey Zappe is also being waived, Mac Jones is currently the only QB left on the Patriots' roster. Look for additional moves to be made by the team in short order, with Cunningham presumably being a practice squad candidate if he clears waivers.

The Patriots are waiving Zappe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Meanwhile, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports that Malik Cunningham is also slated to be waived, temporarily leaving Mac Jones as the team's only QB. Per Karen Guregian of The Springfield Republican, the Patriots are hoping get both Zappe and Cunningham on their practice squad.

Mond is expected to be waived Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Mond was originally waived by the team Thursday, but after the trade of Joshua Dobbs, they pulled him back off the wire. Now, a few short days later, he was waived again, as the team intends to keep Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson as the two quarterbacks on the team's 53-man roster. Mond has a good chance to return as the team's practice squad quarterback.
