The Titans released Supernaw on Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Supernaw returned to practice in early August after passing his physical, but he didn't last long on the Titans' roster. The team signed tight end Jerome Cunningham to replace him on the 90-man roster, while Supernaw is now free to sign elsewhere.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Vannett played through a back injury for much of his first two NFL seasons, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

A 2016 third-round pick, Vannett hasn't had any absences attributed to a back issue, but he did miss games with ankle and shoulder injuries during his first two seasons. Initially expected to replace Luke Willson as Seattle's No. 2 tight end, Vannett has been getting regular work with the first-team offense while Ed Dickson recovers from a groin injury, Mike Vorel of The Seattle Times reports. Though he's known for his blocking more so than his receiving ability, Vannett may display better athleticism now that his back isn't nagging him. The extent of his role likely still depends upon Dickson's health.

Graham missed Tuesday's practice with a minor knee injury, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.

Graham collided with a teammate during Monday's practice and presumably will be held out of Thursday's preseason game against the Titans. He should still have a chance to play before the end of the preseason, and he's already had quite a bit of time to build chemistry with Aaron Rodgers during training camp. Graham can be considered day-to-day.

Waller (suspension) has been reinstated following a one-year suspension and he watched practice Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Jeff Zrebiec reports.

Waller figures to rejoin the tight end mix at some point this offseason, but a deep group that includes two rookie tight ends awaits him. Waller appeared in 12 games for the Ravens when he last played in 2016 and he'll attempt to crack the 53-man roster again with a strong showing in the preseason.

Andrews (undisclosed) has returned to practice, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

This is the third straight practice session in which Andrews has been able to participate, so it looks like he is fully healthy, especially since he's taking full contact. Andrews will be battling for a depth role at tight end this preseason.

Graham (undisclosed) was not spotted at practice Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Per the report, Graham was slow to get up after getting tangled up with a teammate during Monday's practice. While the tight end completed that session, he's not out there Tuesday, quite possibly for precautionary reasons.

Smith and Delanie Walker are both listed as starters on the Titans' unofficial preseason depth chart, Teresa Walker of The Associated Press reports.

Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur spent last season in Los Angeles, where the Rams led the NFL in usage of three-receiver formations. However, it won't come as any surprise if the Titans use two tight ends for their base offense, considering they don't have much proven talent at wide receiver but do have a promising No. 2 tight end in Smith. A third-round pick last year, Smith caught 18 of 30 targets for 157 yards and two touchdowns while playing 556 offensive snaps in 16 regular-season games. Despite suffering a torn MCL during the playoffs, he didn't seem to have any limitations during the offseason program. While his progress is worth keeping an eye on, Smith is unlikely to establish fantasy value unless Walker misses time with an injury.

Ertz (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of NJ.com reports.

Despite missing just three days of practice, Ertz may be held out of the preseason opener Thursday against Pittsburgh, as the likely absence of both Carson Wentz (knee) and Nick Foles (upper body) could encourage the Eagles to wait until the second week of the preseason to take a look at their first-string offense. Ertz was productive while playing with both quarterbacks last season, averaging 5.2 catches in 11 games with Wentz and 5.8 catches in six games (including playoffs) with Foles.

Hamm signed with the Seahawks on Monday.

Hamm is coming off what ended up being just a one-week stint with Seattle, as he was waived last Thursday. The team has now elected to use one of their two open roster spots to bring him back, but Hamm is still likely a long shot to make the final cut.

Sinclair signed a contract with the Eagles on Monday, Geoff Mosher of the Score reports.

Sinclair, who played his college ball at Missouri State, has yet to take a regular-season snap in the NFL. He provides plenty of size at 6-foot-7 and 270 pounds, but he could simply be a camp body while fellow tight ends Zach Ertz (undisclosed) and Richard Rodgers (upper body) nurse injuries.
