Joly was cut by the Broncos on Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.coms reports.

Joly was the No. 152 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old began his collegiate career at Connecticut before spending his final two seasons at NC State, where he most recently amassed 49 catches for 489 yards and seven touchdowns. Joly could draw interest from more than a few NFL teams, though it may come as a member of a practice squad.

The Titans waived Wilson on Sunday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Wilson participated in all three preseason games for the Titans, catching four of his five targets for 18 net yards. The tight end had an unfortunate showing in Saturday's preseason finale, catching just one ball and losing four yards after the catch for a two-yard loss. The 26-year-old will now be placed on waivers. If Wilson goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any team.

The Browns placed Royer (personal) on the reserve/non-football illness list Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

The Cowboys waived Trigg on Sunday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Trigg played in the first and last of the Cowboys' preseason contests, hauling in four of five targets for 30 yards against the Seahawks before failing to catch any of his three targets in the preseason finale against the Saints. The tight end may not have been able to make the 53-man roster, but the Cowboys would like to have Trigg back with the practice squad if he is not claimed during the waiver period.

The Packers waived Dabney on Sunday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

The Rams are trading Redman to the Packers for a 2028 seventh-round pick.

Redman spent last season on the Rams' practice squad but didn't appear in any games. The 2025 undrafted free agent will provide extra depth at tight end for the Packers, as both Tucker Kraft (knee) and Luke Musgrave (neck) are dealing with injuries.
