The Chargers waived Patterson on Thursday.

Patterson made the Chargers' initial 53-man roster, but he was subsequently cut after the team claimed fellow RB Hassan Haskins on waivers. Also in the Los Angeles backfield mix ahead of Week 1 are Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and rookie Kimani Vidal.

Kibodi signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday.

Kibodi linked up with New Orleans in the spring after going undrafted out of Louisiana. The 25-year-old netted 71 yards on the ground in the preseason on 18 carries and added another 30 yards through the air on four catches.

Rees-Zammit signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Thursday.

Rees-Zammit signed with the Chiefs in March after a successful rugby career in Wales. He wasn't able to survive Kansas City's final cuts, but he'll now have an opportunity to further develop on Jacksonville's practice squad.

The Bengals re-signed Williams on Thursday.

Williams has returned to the Bengals' 53-man roster after he was released Wednesday to make room for K.J. Henry, whom Cincinnati picked up off waivers. The sixth-year running back remains firmly behind Chase Brown and Zack Moss on the Bengals' depth chart, so he's expected to be used primarily as a special-teams player in 2024.

Brightwell signed with the Browns' practice squad Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Brightwell spent camp with the Jaguars after losing his spot with the Giants, but he was unable to make the team's final roster. He'll now get a chance to work his way up to Cleveland's 53-man roster, which is currently dealing with multiple injuries at running back.

Milton signed with the Bengals' practice squad Thursday.

Milton failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster Tuesday after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in May, but he's already found a new home in Cincinnati. The Georgia product rushed 121 times for 790 yards and 14 touchdowns across 13 games during his final collegiate season.

GM Brett Veach relayed Thursday that he hopes Perine will be able to play in next week's season opener against the Ravens, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

The Chiefs kick off their 2024 campaign next Thursday, which shortens the amount of time the looming addition will have to get up to speed with the team's offense ahead of Week 1. However, as the season progresses it's plausible that Perine will have a chance to earn a key complementary role for his new team behind top back Isiah Pacheco.

Badie signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Badie will remain with Denver after spending each of the last two seasons with the team's practice squad. The Missouri product has only appeared in one regular-season game in that timeframe but will work to find more opportunities in 2024.

Kelly signed with the Ravens' practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Kelly spent parts of the last five seasons with the Browns and Rams but found his way to Baltimore on Aug. 13. Despite not making the team's 53-man roster, he'll get a chance to stay around with the Ravens' practice squad.

Foreman agreed to a new contract with the Browns on Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Foreman was among Cleveland's initial roster cuts Tuesday, but the looming release of quarterback Tyler Huntley creates a spot for him to return to the team, which was always the plan. With Nick Chubb (knee) and Nyheim Hines (knee) both out the first four games of the season and potentially longer, Foreman will be positioned for a potentially significant role out of the backfield. Jerome Ford projects to be the Browns' starting back until Chubb is able to return, but Foreman and Pierre Strong (ribs) could rotate in.
