The Ravens waived McMillan on Saturday, Josh Tolentino of The Baltimore Sun reports.

McMillan signed with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in early May and played in all three of the team's preseason contests. He performed very well, rushing 15 times for 109 yards (7.3 YPC), with more than half of that yardage coming on a 63-yard scamper. McMillan won't begin the regular season on the Ravens' 53-man roster, but he's a prime candidate to be part of the team's practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Singleton rushed seven times for 26 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Titans' 24-15 preseason loss to the Bears on Saturday.

The rookie fifth-round pick led the team in rush attempts on the night and finished second behind D'Ernest Johnson and quarterback Hendon Hooker in rushing yards. Singleton was the first Tennessee back to log a touch, gaining six yards on a reception on the second play from scrimmage and subsequently netting 18 yards on three consecutive rush attempts to kick off the Titans' second drive. Singleton finished the preseason having rushed 15 times for 57 yards alongside Saturday's 2-18-0 receiving line across two games, and he'll now wait to see if those numbers were enough to garner him the No. 3 running back role.

Jordan (hip) is likely to resume practicing next week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jordan has been dealing with a strained hip flexor and didn't play at all during the preseason slate. However, the 27-year-old should be good to go for the beginning of the regular season as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks during upcoming practices. Jordan is slated to work as Houston's No. 3 RB this year behind David Montgomery and Woody Marks.

Demercado rushed nine time for 37 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards Friday in a 9-9 exhibition tie with the Seahawks.

Demercado is battling with rookie Emmett Johnson and sophomore Brashard Smith for Kansas City's backup RB role behind Kenneth Walker (ankle). Johnson got the start Friday and impressed with seven rushes for 39 yards and two catches on two targets for 15 yards, while Smith also played well, carrying 16 times for 72 yards and returning one kickoff for 57 yards. Demercado did fine in logging 4.1 YPC, but it remains to be seen who will be named the No. 2 ball carrier heading into the regular season. Johnson (26-123-1) and Smith (30-130-0) both put up better stats on the ground during the exhibition slate than Demercado (17-64-0), but the latter has the most experience among the trio and has averaged an impressive 6.5 YPC over 126 career regular-season totes while showing the ability to catch passes as well, so he could have the upper hand in the competition.

Wright was waived by the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wright's time in Houston has seemingly come to an end less than a month after he first signed with the team. The 27-year-old will now look to find a new opportunity with another team.

McGowan carried the ball four times for 20 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Saturday's 25-16 preseason loss to the Lions.

The seventh-round rookie got the start once again, even with DJ Giddens back in the lineup after recovering from a hamstring injury, and McGowan put together the Colts' longest run of the afternoon on a 10-yard scamper in the first quarter to help set up a field goal. Giddens scored the team's only TD of the game in the second quarter, however, as they both make their final cases to be the No. 2 backfield option behind Jonathan Taylor. The two younger backs had similar athleticism-over-production profiles in college, so they could end up trading the job back and forth during the season based on health and performance.

Giddens carried the ball twice for eight yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for eight yards in Saturday's 25-16 preseason loss to the Lions.

The second-year back scored the Colts' only TD of the afternoon on a six-yard run in the second quarter, bouncing the ball outside the tackle and plowing through a couple defenders to hit paydirt. Giddens didn't make much of an impact as a rookie after being selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Kansas State, but Indy seems content to let him continue his development behind Jonathan Taylor. Seth McGowan got the start in Saturday's preseason finale, however, and may have claimed the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.

Vaki did not play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Colts, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Vaki is not battling any injury. The running back was held out of Saturday's game because he has already proven himself throughout training camp. With Isiah Pacheco (back) still dealing with an injury, Vaki is in line to see reserve snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs for the Lions' Week 1 game against the Saints.

The Patriots waived Hasty on Saturday, Ethan Hurwitz of SI.com reports.

Hasty signed with the Patriots on Aug. 12. Unsurprisingly, the running back's return to the team ends similarly to his 2025 stint. Hasty will once again be subject to late August waivers, this time remaining on the wire through Monday due to Sunday's cutdown day. If the 29-year-old remains unclaimed, there is a good chance the special-teamer will return to the Patriots as a member of the practice squad.

The Ravens waived Scott on Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Scott signed a reserve/future contract with Baltimore in January but was unable to impress enough throughout the offseason to earn a roster spot. The 23-year-old spent last season on the team's practice squad and could be a candidate to do so once again should he go unclaimed on waivers.
