The Chiefs waived Rees-Zammit on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Rees-Zammitt is a Welsh rugby star who signed with the Chiefs via the NFL's international program. During the preseason, he rushed six times for 22 yards. He could be further developed on the practice squad.

Lloyd (hamstring) is on Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, while fellow running back AJ Dillon (neck) has been placed on season-ending injured reserve, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

It wasn't too long ago that Lloyd seemed in danger of starting the season on IR -- albeit with a return designation -- while Dillon was in excellent shape to take the No. 2 RB role. Dillon's second stinger of the 2024 calendar year changed that, and the decision to keep Lloyd on the 53-man roster suggests the Packers expect him to be ready at some point in September. The rookie third-round pick missed most of training camp and the preseason due to hip and hamstring injuries, with the latter seeming to be his current issue. Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson are Green Bay's healthy running backs ahead of a Week 1 game against the Eagles in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Friday, Sept. 6.

The Packers placed Dillon (neck) on injured reserve Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

For the second time in the calendar year 2024, Dillon is dealing with a stinger, which will end his upcoming season before it even begins. With Dillon on IR, Josh Jacobs will have unfettered access to Green Bay's backfield, while rookie third-rounder MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson serve as the reserves to begin the campaign.

Miller (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return.

Miller is ineligible for the first four games of the regular season after missing most of training camp and all three of the Saints' preseason games. Coach Dennis Allen has been critical of the running back's injury problems to this point in his career, but the Saints may nonetheless give their 2023 third-round pick a chance to show what he can do if/when he stays healthy for more than a few weeks at a time. For now, Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams top the depth chart at running back, with Taysom Hill also expected to take some carries.

Chubb (knee) is on the reserve/PUP list to start the regular season, ruling him out for at least the first four games.

The Browns made it official Tuesday after it was widely reported Monday. The 28-year-old running back has been working out, running and even doing agility work throughout the summer, but he still hasn't resumed practicing with the team since suffering an ACL tear last September. Jerome Ford is set to lead Cleveland's backfield early in the season, just as he did for much of last year.

Steele has a spot on Kansas City's initial 53-man roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The 225-pound undrafted rookie was a preseason standout, taking 11 carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns. The team lists him at fullback on its depth chart, and coach Andy Reid mentioned the possibility of using him in that role, but Steele mostly lined up as a lone running back during the preseason. There's potential to earn snaps and touches early on, as Kansas City has a weak group of running backs beyond Isiah Pacheco and could do some shuffling in the coming days to fill the other backup spots.

The Colts waived Scott on Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Scott initially inked with Indianapolis as an UDFA last year, but he missed time with a meniscus tear before eventually landing on the team's practice squad. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he figures to be a candidate for a practice squad spot once again.

Foreman's contract was terminated by the Browns on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

Following the move to cut Foreman, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong are the only two running backs on the Browns' initial 53-man roster. Look for the team to make additional moves to bolster the backfield, however. As for Foreman, he's now a free agent, but it's plausible that Cleveland could elect to bring him back in the coming days, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

The Seahawks waived Holani on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Holani signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State in April. He was reportedly making a move for the No. 3 job this summer, but the Seahawks are cutting him after Holani rushed 15 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns. He added three catches for 15 yards. Holani could be a candidate for the practice squad.

Jackson was waived by the Jaguars on Tuesday.

Jackson linked up with Jacksonville after going undrafted out of Villanova in April. His ability to stick with the team until final cuts may bode well for future opportunities with the franchise.
