The Texans released Bryant on Tuesday.

Bryant played 13 games with the Raiders last season and posted nine catches (12 targets) for 86 yards. He signed with the Eagles in March and was subsequently traded to the Texans on Aug. 17 in a deal that had John Metchie going the other way. However, Bryant couldn't carve out a role, so the Texans' initial 53-man roster will feature tight ends Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover.

The Bills waived Latu on Tuesday.

Latu -- an undrafted rookie -- and fifth-year tight end Zach Davidson were let go Tuesday, while rookie fifth-round pick Jackson Hawes made the 53-man roster as the No. 3 tight end behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. Latu may secure a practice-squad spot if he clears waivers.

The Bills waived Davidson on Tuesday.

A 2021 fifth-round pick, Davidson spent the 2024 season on the Bills' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster three times, catching one of two targets for five yards. Davidson can play on special teams, so he's a candidate to stick around on the practice squad in case of injuries during the season.

Cager was cut by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

Cager recorded four catches for 54 yards while appearing in two preseason games with Washington. The tight end will look for another opportunity, and he will now likely have to settle for a practice squad spot ahead of the 2025 season.

The Jaguars waived Herbert on Tuesday.

Herbert inked a contract with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in late April and caught two of five targets for 11 yards during the team's three-game preseason schedule. He's a candidate for a spot on the club's practice squad.

Jacksonville waived Copenhaver on Tuesday.

Copenhaver joined the Jags as an undrafted free agent in late April and caught his only target for six yards over three preseason games. He'll likely look to land a spot on a club's practice squad.

Chicago released Carlson on Tuesday.

Carlson is healthy after having missed all of the 2024 season due to a collarbone injury, but he's now among a number of cuts made by the Bears to get down to a 53-man roster. The 28-year-old will likely look to resurface on a practice squad, whether with the Bears or elsewhere in the league.

The Colts waived Mang on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.

Mang didn't see a target across two preseason games, and the undrafted rookie out of Syracuse will now go on waivers. Assuming he goes unclaimed, Mang will look to catch on with a team in need of depth at tight end.

Dallas waived Fairweather on Tuesday.

Fairweather spent the offseason competing for a reserve role with the Cowboys, but he couldn't earn one of limited spots on the initial 53-man roster. The undrafted rookie out of Auburn may be a candidate to pop back up on the practice squad.

The Jaguars waived Bowman on Tuesday.

Bowman originally signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024. He was a member of the team's practice squad all of last season and could end up there again if he clears waivers.
