DiNucci was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

DiNucci joined the team in May after a successful XFL season with Seattle. Ultimately though, the James Madison product was unable to unseat Jarrett Stidham for backup duties, while Denver has opted to carry two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster.

Siemian was released by the Bengals on Tuesday, Jay Morrison reports.

Siemian was working to earn the backup role to Joe Burrow; however, he was edged out by Washington product +Jake Browning. The former will now need to seek out another opportunity, where he'd look to see the field in a regular-season game for a fifth NFL team.

DeVito was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

DeVito joined the squad as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois. Although he was solid in the preseason, the 25-year-old was unable to secure the No. 2 spot held by Tyrod Taylor behind starter Daniel Jones. DeVito will likely be a candidate for a practice squad spot.

Browning is the Bengals' second-string quarterback following the release of Trevor Siemian on Tuesday, Jay Morrison of PFN reports.

Siemian's release confirms that Browning won the summer battle to back up Joe Burrow, who remains uncertain for Week 1 after suffering a calf injury in late July. The Bengals may still take a look at other options for the backup role, especially if they aren't confident in Burrow making it back for Week 1 at Cleveland. The 27-year-old Browning has spent time with Minnesota and Cincinnati since going undrafted back in 2019, but he's still seeking his first regular-season appearance after years of mostly working on practice squads.

Haener went 17-for-38 passing for 172 yards and two interceptions during Sunday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Texans.

Haener finishes the preseason going 38-for-72 for 395 yards and one touchdown to three interceptions across the Saints' three exhibitions. The rookie signal-caller showed some flashes throughout these games, but it seems clear that he still needs some time to catch up to NFL defenses. In the meantime, Jameis Winston, who completed 11 of 16 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown Sunday, should have the Saints' No. 2 quarterback spot locked for the 2023 season, giving Haener additional time to learn and develop as a potential long-term successor to current starter Derek Carr.

The Jaguars waived Rourke on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Rourke was looking to parlay a standout season with the CFL's BC Lions into an NFL career. He was competing against C.J. Beathard for the backup role under center behind Trevor Lawrence but ultimately came up short. He will now be a candidate to land on Jacksonville's practice squad should he choose to go that route.

The Chargers are expected to waive Duggan, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Duggan was selected by the Chargers in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-2 quarterback played collegiately at TCU and is known for his standout athleticism. He recorded a 4.52-second 40 at the combine. However, he will now hit waivers, as he was unable to beat out Easton Stick for backup duties behind Justin Herbert. Should he clear waivers, which is not a given, he is a strong candidate to join L.A.'s practice squad.

Wolford is expected to be released by the Buccaneers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask competing for the starting job under center, Wolford was always expected to be the odd-man out. However, given his familiarity with the playbook, he will be a strong candidate to land on the team's practice squad. The 27-year-old spent his first three seasons with the Rams.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he doesn't foresee Huntley (hamstring) going on injured reserve, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

This is a positive update for the backup quarterback, but it remains unclear when he'll be healthy again. Huntley tweaked his hamstring during the Ravens' preseason opener and hasn't practiced or played since. Josh Johnson and Anthony Brown are also on the roster, but if the Ravens are content with Huntley's health, they may cut the other two backups ahead of the 53-man roster deadline Tuesday.

Blackman was waived by the Dolphins on Monday.

This marks the second time Blackman has been waived by the Dolphins since signing with them as an undrafted free agent. With Mike White and Skylar Thompson locked in behind Tua Tagovailoa under center, this was always the likely outcome. It remains to be seen if the team will offer him a role on the practice squad. The Arkansas product completed 64.3 percent of his passes for 2,471 yards, 14 touchdowns and three interceptions during his final collegiate season.
