The Colts waived Funk on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, the Colts hope to bring back Funk as a member of their practice squad if he clears waivers. The 2021 seventh-rounder spent time with both Indy and the Rams last season, but he didn't log a regular-season carry.

Indianapolis is slated to waive Huntley on Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Huntley becomes a candidate to reunite with the Colts via the practice squad, especially if a deal to trade Jonathan Taylor (ankle) does eventually emerge. The former New Mexico State standout suited up for five games with the Eagles from 2020-21.

Nichols (shoulder) will reach an injury settlement with the Packers on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Nichols dealt with the injury for much of camp, limiting the rookie seventh-round selection's chance at making the team. By reaching a settlement, he'll be free to pursue other opportunities for a chance to play in 2023.

Rountree was waived by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Rountree joined Houston on Aug. 18, just a few short days after being let go from the Chargers. The Missouri product is a candidate to ultimately end up on the Texans' practice squad, according to Wilson.

The Dolphins cut Gaskin on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gaskin made 17 starts between the 2020 and 2021 seasons but then got only 11 touches over four games last year and tumbled further down the depth chart this offseason. He spent the preseason working behind Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson (undisclosed), De'Von Achane (shoulder) and Salvon Ahmed (head), and even undrafted rookie Chris Brooks made his case to surpass Gaskin on the depth chart. If Gaskin does get a chance elsewhere this season, it might be as a passing-down back.

Evans was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Evans came aboard when the team lost Nyheim Hines (knee) for the season, but ultimately, the 25-year-old Evans was unable to push past Ty Johnson and Latavius Murray for the team's No. 3 running back spot. He'll now have to seek out a chance with another franchise.

Williams (undisclosed) is expected to be placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Williams was working to earn the team's No. 3 running back role behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson, but instead, he might end up spending the 2023 campaign on the shelf.

New Orleans cut Bargas on Monday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Bargas signed with the Saints in May after spending all of last season as a free agent. The 26-year-old fullback didn't log any rushing attempts during exhibition play, though he did catch his only target for two yards. He'll now be free to pursue an opportunity with another organization, or he could land on New Orleans' practice squad.

The Titans placed Haskins (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Haskins had been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but now that he's on IR, Tyjae Spears profiles as the Titans' top backup behind lead back Derrick Henry to start the coming season. Also in the team's depth mix are Julius Chestnut and Jacques Patrick, but it's possible that further moves could be made to fortify Tennessee's backfield ahead of Week 1.

The Buccaneers released Laird on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Laird was the fifth running back on Tampa Bay's depth chart, rendering this move relatively unsurprising. While he was unable to secure a role on the 53-man roster, it is still possible for him to get an opportunity on the team's practice squad. If that does not come to fruition, the 28-year-old will look for a fresh start elsewhere. He primarily played a depth running back role in Miami during his first three seasons.
