Brightwell was waived by the Jaguars on Tuesday.

Brightwell had his time with the Giants end due to a hamstring injury in June but eventually found his way to Jacksonville in early August. However, the Arizona product was unable to force his way up the team's positional depth charts and secure a spot on their final 53-man roster.

Kansas City has waived Prince, according to Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star.

With Prince not slated to be included on the team's initial 53-man roster, Carson Steele appears to have secured a depth role in the backfield behind Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Prince could still land on Kansas City's practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Bills waived Gore (knee) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The son of longtime NFL running back Frank Gore, the Southern Miss product went undrafted in April before signing with the Bills. Gore was impressive during the preseason, rushing for 163 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries while adding four grabs for an additional 16 yards. It wasn't enough to claim a 53-man roster spot behind James Cook and fourth-round rookie Ray Davis, but there's a good chance Gore is either claimed or lands a job on a practice squad.

Collier was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday.

Collier joined Baltimore as an undrafted free agent out of Lock Haven in April. The 24-year-old was able to stick with the team until final cuts, which may bode well for a potential second opportunity with the team in the future.

Badie was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.

Badie has been a regular on Denver's practice squad each of the last two seasons and signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January. Now, he'll likely have to find another practice squad opportunity,

McCrary was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

McCrary was a late addition during training camp, not joining the team until Aug. 14. According to Wood, the Saginaw Valley State product is likely to join Green Bay's practice squad.

The Commanders waived Rodriguez on Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

A 2023 sixth-round pick, Rodriguez saw a bigger role late last season and averaged 7.4 carries for 37.2 yards over a five-game stretch Weeks 11-16 before an ankle injury brought his rookie campaign to an early end. He came back healthy this spring, but the new coaching staff in Washington seemed to prefer 28-year-old Jeremy McNichols for the No. 3 RB role behind Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler. It won't be surprising if a team in need of a power runner claims the 224-pound Rodriguez off waivers.

Boone was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Boone spent last season in Houston before he was waived and inked a deal with Carolina's practice squad. The veteran running back is considered a candidate to once again join the team's practice squad, assuming he doesn't find a better option elsewhere.

Miller (hamstring) was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Miller was dealing with a hamstring injury last week but it doesn't appear the team waived him with an injury designation, so he should be considered healthy. The South Carolina product was impressive when he was able to suit up in preseason and camp, making him a likely practice-squad candidate for another team or the Giants themselves, if he clears waivers.

The Saints waived Kibodi on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Undrafted out of Louisiana, Kibodi signed with the Saints as a free agent and rushed 18 times for 71 yards (3.9 YPC) and two touchdowns during the preseason. He also caught four passes for 30 yards. Perhaps Kibodi did enough to warrant a look on the practice squad should he go unclaimed Wednesday.
