Ahmani Marshall RB | CLE
Ahmani Marshall: Waived by Cleveland
The Browns waived Marshall on Tuesday.

Trayveon Williams RB | CLE
Trayveon Williams: Released by Cleveland
The Browns released Williams on Tuesday.
Williams was signed earlier this month to provide some backfield depth for training camp and the preseason. He logged 43 offensive snaps across three exhibitions and rushed seven times for 30 yards, adding five catches for 33 yards on eight targets. Williams turns 28 years old in October.

Demetric Felton RB | WAS
Demetric Felton: Cut by Washington
The Commanders cut Felton on Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Felton played 37 offensive snaps this preseason and rushed 14 times for 46 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. The 2021 sixth-round pick of the Browns will try to find an opportunity elsewhere.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
Jeff Wilson: Released by San Francisco
The 49ers released Wilson on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Wilson was signed earlier this month while the Niners were dealing with backfield injuries and before the team traded for Brian Robinson. With Robinson now in the fold behind Christian McCaffrey alongside a healthy Isaac Guerendo, Wilson is no longer needed. The 29-year-old appeared in nine regular-season games with Miami last season, rushing 16 times for 57 yards.

De'Von Achane RB | MIA
Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Not practicing Tuesday
Achane (calf) is not participating in Tuesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Coach Mike McDaniel said after Miami's preseason game against Jacksonville on Saturday that the team will continue to take a cautious approach to Achane's recovery, but the starting running back is still expected to retake the practice field ahead of the regular-season opener against Indianapolis. The Dolphins may intend for Achane to use this coming week to rest, however. Ollie Gordon is currently the only healthy running back on Miami's roster, with Jaylen Wright (leg) trending in the wrong direction for Week 1, so the team may be motivated to seek additional backfield depth.

Deuce Vaughn RB | DEN
Deuce Vaughn: Cut by Cowboys
Dallas waived Vaughn on Tuesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Vaughn, a 2023 fifth-round pick, could be a candidate for the Cowboys' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The presence of veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders (shoulder) atop the backfield depth chart, plus rookie Jaydon Blue (ankle), had always made it unlikely Vaughn would secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster.

JaMycal Hasty RB | NE
JaMycal Hasty: Dumped by New England
The Patriots released Hasty on Tuesday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Hasty signed with the Patriots earlier this month and logged 64 offensive snaps across the final two preseason games, putting together a 22-77-0 rushing line. He turns 29 years old next month.

Carson Steele RB | KC
Carson Steele: Time up in Kansas City
The Chiefs waived Steele on Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Steele's opportunity with the Chiefs ends as the process of cutting down to a 53-man roster begins. As a rookie last season, Steele suited up for all 17 regular-season games and logged 56 carries for 183 yards (3.3 YPC) with zero touchdowns. He also secured seven of 11 targets for 22 yards and fumbled three times, losing two. The hybrid fullback/running back is a capable blocker in pass protection and can contribute on special teams, so he figures to draw interest as a practice squad candidate around the league.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire RB | KC
Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Released by New Orleans
The Saints released Edwards-Helaire on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Edwards-Helaire played just 33 offensive snaps during the preseason and managed to rush 10 times for just 22 yards. He also caught all three of his targets for 25 yards. It wasn't nearly enough to win a job behind Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller and rookie Devin Neal.

Israel Abanikanda RB | DAL
Israel Abanikanda: Let go by Green Bay
The Packers waived Abanikanda on Tuesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Abanikanda put together a solid preseason in Green Bay, but he couldn't push Emanuel Wilson, MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Chris Brooks for a depth role behind Josh Jacobs. The Packers could opt to bring Abanikanda back as a member of the practice squad this season, if he doesn't find a role elsewhere.
