O'Malley was cut by the Raiders on Saturday, but was given a spot on the 10-man practice squad, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.

The Raiders elected to proceed with three options at tight end in Lee Smith, Clive Walford, and Mychal Rivera when it came time to cut the roster down to 53. O'Malley will have a chance to be called up at some point throughout the regular season if he impresses on the practice team.

Paulsen signed a contract with the Bears on Sunday, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports

Paulsen missed the entire 2015 season while recovering from toe surgery, but re-signed with the Redskins earlier this offseason before being released on Saturday. However, he's now slated to join the Bears, where he should be able to carve out a role as a blocking tight end, as well as a candidate to play special teams.

Graham (knee) is an uncertain candidate to play in Week 1, The Seattle Times reports.

In the Seahawks' final round of cuts, four tight ends were kept, likely with an eye toward the regular season opener. Graham has been practicing in full of late, but in the event that the team exercises caution, Luke Willson is waiting in the wings for spot starts. The rest of the unit is rounded out by Nick Vannett (ankle) and Brandon Williams.

Coffman was released by the Colts on Sunday, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

Coffman spent the preseason with the Colts, but wasn't more than a depth option at tight end. The Colts needed to make room on their 53-man roster for some waiver claims and with Coffman unlikely to play a significant role, they opted to let him go. He participated in just two games last season, catching eight passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.

Bowman was claimed off waivers by the Jets on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Bowman was brought in Sunday to help fill the void left after the team opted to release Jace Amaro. It's unlikely that Bowman will see a great deal of playing time this season, but the 22-year-old will serve as a depth tight end for the Jets this season.

Amaro (groin) was claimed off waivers by the Titans on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

The former second round pick of the Jets struggled to produce during his time in New York. Amaro will look to resurrect his career in Tennessee behind the likes of Delanie Walker and Anthony Fasano.

Malleck (neck) and the Giants reached an injury settlement on Saturday, James Kratch of the New Jersey Advanced Media reports.

Malleck was placed on IR Wednesday and it appears he and the team wanted to part ways. He'll be able to sign with another team as soon as he's healthy.

Duarte was cut by Miami on Saturday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

The seventh round pick in this past year's draft didn't cut the mustard and is gone. The Dolphins have had trouble with their tight ends in camp so it's disappointing that a draft pick couldn't make a bigger impact. He will try to hook up with another team but until he gets bigger and stronger he is unlikely to ever have a fantasy impact.

The Jets released Amaro (groin) on Saturday, Kimberly A. Martin of Newsday reports.

Amaro only put together a moderate rookie campaign in 2014, racking up 38 catches for 345 yards and two touchdowns, but a torn labrum in his shoulder proceeded to wipe away all of last season. The latter days of training camp this time around included a groin injury, seemingly forcing the Jets' hand. While Kellen Davis and Brandon Bostick have survived roster cuts, Amaro will look to latch on with another organization.

Cajuste was released by the 49ers on Saturday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Cajuste was buried on San Francisco's depth chart, but will likely be a candidate to join the practice squad once he clears waivers.
