Hill was claimed off waivers by the Saints on Sunday, Herbie Teope of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Hill had an impressive preseason in Green Bay, completing 14 of his 20 passes for 149 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also showed he could be a mobile quarterback with 10 rushes for 71 yards and a touchdown, but he did fumbled the ball twice. Despite this, the Packers simply refused to waste a roster spot on a third-string quarterback. Drew Brees is still aging well for the Saints, but Hill could be seen as a project to become the next quarterback in New Orleans.

Hollister has secured a spot on the Patriots' 53-man roster, CSN New England reports.

The player he beat out to make the team, fellow tight end James O'Shaughnessy, was claimed by the Jaguars, so unless the Patriots counter with another move at the position, then the undrafted Hollister has landed a spot with the team thanks to a strong preseason. He's clearly behind both Rob Gronkowski and Dwayne Allen on the Patriots' depth chart, but Hollister's veteran counterparts have had injury woes in the past, so the Wyoming product could enter the fantasy equation down the road with a break or two in his favor.

Bibbs (knee) was waived/injured by the Redskins on Saturday.

The injured knee had little to do with Bibbs being shown the door in Washington, but it does mean he'll likely revert to injured reserve once he clears waivers.

Griswold (undisclosed) reached an injury settlement with the Falcons and is now a free agent.

Griswold is now free to search for new opportunities in the league, but don't expect him to play anywhere but a practice squad for now.

Duarte was waived by the Dolphins on Saturday, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

The fact Duarte wasn't waived with an injury designation implies he's since been cleared after suffering a concussion in the third preseason game.

Harkey was released by the Rams on Saturday, Jamie Han of the Rams' official site reports.

Harkey evidently didn't make enough of an impression in the preseason to warrant a roster spot. As a vested veteran, he isn't subject to waivers and is eligible to sign elsewhere immediately.

Schreck (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

Schreck hurt his knee in the third preseason game, though the severity of his injury remains unspecified. He's likely stuck on IR all season unless he agrees to an injury settlement.

Orndoff was waived by the Lions on Saturday, WXYZ Detroit reports.

The Lions only kept three tight ends, so Orndoff realistically never stood a chance. He probably isn't a candidate for the practice squad either.

Hill was waived by the Packers on Saturday, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Hill was impressive in the preseason, but the Packers have no reason to waste a roster spot on a third QB given their outstanding talent at the position. Green Bay is taking a risk in letting Hill go with hopes of no other team claiming him off waivers. If he passes through untouched, look for Green Bay to make an aggressive move to ensure he lands on the practice squad.

Tonyan was waived by the Lions on Saturday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports

Tonyan was seeing first-team reps as a pass-catching tight end with Eric Ebron (hamstring) sidelined, so his release suggests the Lions are confident Ebron will be ready to go come Week 1.
