McFarland was released by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

Despite signing with the Dolphins just over a week ago, McFarland found himself on the outside of the 53-man roster Tuesday during final cuts. The running back was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he appeared in 17 games over his four seasons with Pittsburgh. McFarland had an uphill battle for securing a roster spot within the Dolphins crowded running back room, and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere in 2024.

Jones was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

The running back carried the ball 13 times for 37 yards during the preseason. Jones, who went undrafted, spent five college seasons at Stanford and USC, and ran for 2,337 yards and 24 touchdowns.

The Ravens placed Mitchell (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell is working his way back from a torn left ACL, and while his placement on the reserve/PUP list only officially rules him out for the first four games of the season, the second-year pro may not be to ready to retake the field until November. In any case, Derrick Henry is positioned to work as the clear No. 1 backfield option for Baltimore, while Justice Hill remains in town to handle pass-catching work. Rookie fifth-round pick Rasheen Ali (concussion) could work as the No. 3 man as long as Mitchell remains sidelined.

Las Vegas waived McCormick on Tuesday, per the team's official site.

McCormick led the Raiders with 60 yards during the preseason slate, but he needed 17 carries to get to that total. The 23-year-old also caught five of six passes for 18 yards. McCormick spent 2022 on IR and was on Las Vegas' practice squad all of last season. He could end up back on the team's practice squad to begin 2024 if he clears waivers.

Jordan (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Texans on Tuesday.

Across his four preseason outings with the Texans, Jordan had 21 carries for 55 yards and added five catches on six targets for 49 yards. If he goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll revert to Houston's injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

Bawden was released by the Texans on Tuesday.

Bawden joined the Texans on Aug. 20 after being let go by the Jets in late July. He was competing against Andrew Beck for a fullback spot on the Texans' 53-man roster, but neither player made the cut. Bawden will look to bring his blocking ability elsewhere.

Horvath was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Horvath spent the first half of training camp in New Orleans before getting waived. He subsequently joined Miami, but the team ultimately decided to go in another direction. It remains to be seen what the fullback's next opportunity will be.

The Chiefs waived Ingram on Tuesday.

Ingram made a deal with Kansas City after an underwhelming start to his NFL career with the Cardinals, but now the Chiefs have decided to move on too. He has good physical tools, but his production as a pro up to this point has been poor.

Kansas City waived Bailey on Tuesday.

Bailey was brought on board as a rookie undrafted free agent back in April, but now he's on his way out. He's perilously small and doesn't have elite speed to compensate, so it will probably be an uphill climb for him to eventually establish himself in the NFL.

The Colts waived Felton on Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

Felton joined the Colts on Aug. 12 and played in the final two preseason games, during which he accumulated 57 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries. The 2021 sixth-round pick could be invited back to the Colts' practice squad, or he could explore other options assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers.
