Wolf cleared waivers and became a free agent Sunday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Wolf wasn't retained on the practice squad, either. The 24-year-old tight end hasn't played a snap since entering the league in 2018, so he'll likely seek a spot on another practice roster.

Johnson cleared waivers Sunday and signed with the Saints' practice squad.

Johnson spent the entire training camp in New Orleans after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent, but he couldn't make the 53-man roster. He's one of three wide receivers on the Saints' practice squad.

Asiasi (foot/ankle) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Asiasi suffered an injury toward the end of training camp, but it doesn't look like it was too serious, as the tight end will be ready to make his NFL debut Sunday versus the Dolphins. The rookie third-round pick will likely split snaps with Ryan Izzo and Dalton Keene to start the years since there's no clear No. 1 among the bunch. However, there's plenty of targets up for grabs, as Julian Edelman (knee) and James White are the only players with locked-in target shares.

Thomas (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

Thomas suffered a toe injury just over a week ago, but he's already resumed operating at full capacity. He's set to serve as Carolina's top tight end during Sunday's season opener against the Raiders, though Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson will all likely rank ahead of Thomas in the pecking order in terms of targets.

Davis was listed on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday with a knee injury.

This is the first we're hearing of an injury with the rookie tight end, but it could put his status for Sunday's season opener against the Colts in jeopardy. As more of a blocker than a receiver, Davis wasn't ticketed for a significant fantasy role either way.

Gesicki was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a glute injury, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Gesicki appears to have picked up the injury over the weekend, as he had previously been held out of Saturday's practice. The third-year tight end will have two more chances to practice fully and shed his injury tag before Sunday's season opener against New England, so there's not yet any reason to be concerned about his Week 1 availability. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Preston Williams (knee) also beginning the week as limited participants, Miami's pass-catching corps will be entering the opener at less-than-optimal health.

Gray was released by the 49ers on Saturday.

Gray failed to carve out a role in a deep tight end room, even though San Francisco opted to retain four players at the position.

Knox is listed as the first tight end on the first unofficial depth chart the Bills released Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

The Bills may not come out with an "official" depth chart ahead of Week 1, but it's clear Knox is expected to get the biggest share of tight end snaps for now, with Tyler Kroft and blocking specialist Lee Smith working behind him. Knox has the ability to build off his 28-388-2 line from his rookie season, but at the same time, he's got a now-healthy Kroft to share reps with, not to mention a new star wideout in Stefon Diggs in the mix.

Fumagalli (abdomen) reached an injury settlement with the Broncos on Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Fumagalli was originally placed on injured reserve Sunday, but the Broncos ultimately decided to part ways with the second-year tight end. He now has a chance to sign on with another squad, if he can get his abdomen injury cleared.

Mabry was waived by the Seahawks on Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

In a difficult preseason, the undrafted free agent failed to secure a role on the active roster, as the Seahawks opted to keep four veteran tight ends.
