The Seahawks moved Charbonnet (knee) from the active/PUP list to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

This move was merely procedural, as Charbonnet is still far away from returning to action following the ACL tear he suffered in his left knee in the divisional round Jan. 17. In any case, he'll be sidelined for at least the first four contests of the season, while some combination of rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price and holdover George Holani will pace Seattle's backfield for Week 1 and beyond.

The Chargers waived Johnson on Sunday, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Johnson participated in all three preseason games for the Chargers, rushing 15 times for 53 net yards and two touchdowns. The running back also added two receptions for 68 yards over the three-game span. Johnson will now be subject to waivers. If the 23-year-old goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any franchise that covets additional running back depth.

Abanikanda was waived by the Cowboys on Sunday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Abanikanda was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Jets. He appeared in six regular-season games for New York as a rookie, accumulating 70 yards off 22 carries while catching seven passes for 43 yards. The 23-year-old most recently signed with the Cowboys on a reserve/future deal in January, and while Dallas waived him Sunday, there's still a chance he could be brought back as a member of the practice squad.

The Browns waived Marshall on Sunday, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.

Marshall spent part of last season on Cleveland's practice squad but didn't appear in any games. The 24-year-old will now look to catch on with another team, where he could contribute as a depth running back.

The Cardinals are placing Conner (foot) on injured reserve with a designation to return, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

Conner continues to deal with complications from the foot injury that ended his 2025 campaign Week 3 of last season. Initially, when Arizona didn't place him on the active/PUP list at the start of training camp, it was an indication that he had a chance to be available for Week 1. Instead, Conner will be required to miss at least the first four games following this transaction. Considering rookie third overall pick Jeremiyah Love's status is up in the air due to a high-ankle sprain, Tyler Allgeier may be the team's lead runner in the early going, with Bam Knight backing him up.

The Chargers waived Desrosiers on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Desrosiers participated in all three preseason games for the Chargers, logging 23 rushes for 166 yards and a touchdown. The undrafted free agent out of Memphis had a stellar preseason finale against the Rams on Thursday, accumulating 118 of his 166 total preseason rushing yards in the contest. If the running back can clear waivers, the Chargers plan to bring him back to the team on the practice squad.

The Browns waived Booth on Sunday, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.

Booth signed with Cleveland as an undrafted free agent back in May but was unable to earn a depth role. He will now look for another opportunity with a new team and make his regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.

The Texans waived Whittington on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Whittington was unable to play in last Friday's preseason finale against the Panthers due to an ankle injury. The running back's persistent issue, which is now resolved, hindered him from being able to compete for a depth role enough that he will be unable to make the 53-man roster. If the 24-year-old can clear waivers, he is set to return to the Texans on the practice squad.

Guerendo (pectoral) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Guerendo spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list and is seemingly not ready to take the field, so he will remain on PUP and will miss at least the first four weeks of the season. As such, Kaelon Black and Jordan James will open as the top two options behind starter Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed).

The Colts waived Castle on Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Castle signed with the Colts in May as an undrafted free agent out of Duke. The running back participated in all three preseason games, accumulating 18 rushes for 88 yards. The UDFA will now be subject to waivers. If Castle goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any organization.
