Jordan (knee) did not participate at Monday's training camp practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jordan suffered a knee injury in early August, and he isn't quite back to full health yet. The tight end hasn't appeared in a contest yet this preseason, and it's possible that the knee injury will force him to miss Houston's preseason finale against the Panthers on Friday.

McLachlan (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the 49ers on Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The tight end was waived/injured by the Niners on July 31. McLachlan then revered to injured reserve the next day. He's now free to sign with another team if he can get healthy again soon.

Deguara was released by the 49ers on Monday.

The tight end was let go to open a spot for defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko. Deguara joined the Niners in late July after catching three passes for 21 yards and a score with the Cardinals in 2025. The third-round pick of the Packers in 2020 has played more on special teams than offense in each of the last three seasons.

Uzomah announced his retirement from the National Football League on Monday, Jared Goffinet of Fox 19 in Cincinnati reports.

The tight end retired as a Bengal, the team with which he played his first seven seasons in the league. Uzomah's best receiving campaign came in 2021, when he recorded 49 receptions for 593 yards and five scores during the regular season. The 2015 fifth-round pick last saw NFL action in 2024 with Philadelphia, when he made seven regular-season appearances but did not play during the team's postseason run due to an abdominal injury.

Cupp was waived by the Cardinals on Monday.

Cupp signed with Arizona on Aug. 15, ultimately failing to record any stats in the team's 34-13 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday. The tight end will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there's a chance he sticks around as a member of the Cardinals' practice squad in 2026.

Delp is nursing a hamstring injury at training camp with the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Delp has caught three of six targets for 10 yards and a touchdown over the Saints' two preseason games this year, though all of that production came in the team's preseason opener. The 23-year-old was selected in the third round of this year's draft, and he's competing with veteran Noah Fant for the top reserve role at tight end behind Juwan Johnson this year. It's unclear what the severity of his injury is, but Delp will have a couple of chances to shake off the injury at practice before Friday's preseason finale versus Dallas.

Allen (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Monday's training camp practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Allen has been limited to side work in training camp while recovering from a quadriceps injury, but his ability to practice Monday, even in a limited capacity, is a positive sign for the 2023 fifth-rounder. He's unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chargers, but Allen is working his way toward being available for the Rams' regular-season opener against the 49ers on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Van Vooren signed with the Cowboys on Monday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Van Vooren was waived by New England on Aug. 18. Dallas is dealing with injuries to backup tight ends Brevyn Spann-Ford (undisclosed), Michael Trigg (toe) and DJ Rogers (knee), and the team only played with two healthy tight ends in its last preseason game Saturday against the Cardinals, per Harris. Van Vooren, who has yet to make an NFL regular-season appearance, should have a chance to make his mark in Dallas' last preseason contest.

Conner and the Dolphins agreed on a contract Monday.

Conner was waived by the Jaguars on Aug. 17, but he has now found a new home with the Dolphins ahead of the team's final preseason contest Friday against the Falcons. The undrafted free agent will likely be competing for a practice-squad spot with Miami in 2026.

Lauter signed a contract with the Vikings on Monday.

Lauter, who was not selected by a team in the 2026 NFL Draft, was let go by the Titans on Friday just five days after signing with the team. He'll get a new opportunity with the Vikings, and while he's got long odds to crack the 53-man roster, a strong week of training camp practice could be enough to convince Minnesota to keep Lauter around on the practice squad.
