NFL Player News

Bowman was waived by the Chargers on Saturday, Ricky Henne of the team's official site reports.

Bowman's brief NFL career has included just one target in three games, so his lack of experience didn't help in his quest for a roster spot. The Chargers re-signed veteran Antonio Gates on Sunday to provide additional depth behind Virgil Green.

Robinson (undisclosed) cleared waivers after being waived-injured and is now on Houston's injured reserve list, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Robinson was activated from the PUP list during preseason but had fallen behind others and had no shot of sticking with the Texans.

Sinclair (undisclosed) reverted to IR on Sunday after being waived-injured by the Eagles on Saturday.

Sinclair is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will keep him sidelined for the 2018 season, though he was a longshot to make the Eagles' 53-man roster either way.

Pruitt was waived by the Texans on Sunday.

Pruitt initially made the roster as a fourth tight end, but was deemed expendable after Houston claimed Natrell Jamerson off waivers from the Saints.

The Jaguars waived/injured Goolsby (undisclosed) on Saturday, Mike Kaye of First Coast News reports.

It's unclear what the undrafted rookie is dealing with, but he'll likely pass through waivers and revert to the Jags' injured reserve.

The Broncos placed Fumagalli (sports hernia) on injured reserve Saturday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic Denver reports.

Fumagalli didn't play this preseason after battling a sports hernia all offseason. The rookie out of Wisconsin had a shot to make some noise in an untapped tight end corps, and he could be eligible to return later in the year. Fumagalli is a solid run blocker, but he also is a skilled pass catcher, recording 46 receptions for 547 yards and four touchdowns his senior season.

Coach Adam Gase confirmed that Gesicki is primed for a major role, Jason Lieser of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Gesicki got the start in each of Miami's first three preseason games and didn't play at all in the final contest. It's a strong hint he'll enter Week 1 as the starter, despite catching just one pass for 10 yards during the preseason. The track record of rookie tight ends turning in viable fantasy production isn't strong, but that's often related to a lack of playing time -- something that shouldn't be an issue in this specific case. Gesicki put up solid numbers at Penn State and displayed rare athleticism at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine, with his prospect profile hinting at first-round status if not for his struggles as a blocker. The No. 42 overall pick will start his career with a Week 1 home game against Tennessee.

Kittle (shoulder) returned to practice Saturday, Mat Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

After separating his right shoulder in the first week of the preseason, Kittle seems to be on track for full participation when the Niners release their initial injury report for Week 1 on Wednesday. The second-year pro is expected to serve as the team's top pass-catching option at tight end, though he may share snaps with Garrett Celek in the season opener against Minnesota.

Bell was waived by the Vikings on Saturday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Bell struggled to leapfrog Tyler Conklin and David Morgan for a reserve tight end spot in Minnesota. Bell's best chance to make the roster came via special teams, but at the end of the day there's only 53 spots available for the regular season. If he clears waivers, Bell could be asked to the practice squad.

Traylor was let go by the Broncos on Saturday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic Denver reports.

Traylor found himself stuck behind the likes of Jeff Heuerman and Jake Butt on the depth chart as cut down day loomed. With Denver's decision to draft Troy Fumagalli, the writing on the wall became ever-apparent for Traylor.
