Warren is listed as the lone starting tight end on the Colts' initial preseason depth chart.

The preseason depth charts may not mean much, but there are other indicators of Warren handling a large role right away rather than being eased into things. Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said Friday that he wants to "try a bunch of different stuff" with Warren and "give him a bunch of shots at a bunch of different aspects of playing offensive football," per The Associated Press. The 14th overall pick likely will get playing time in Thursday's preseason opener against Baltimore, as QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones both are scheduled to play (amid their competition for the starting job).

Welch (undisclosed) was an active participant at the Saints' practice Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Welch exited Wednesday's practice early with an undisclosed injury, but he now appears to be back to full strength after a couple days of rest. The tight end spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign on the practice squad with New Orleans, and he will likely be limited to the same role if he sticks around with the Saints in 2025.

Washington and the Ravens agreed on a contract Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Washington will return to Baltimore after spending the final handful of weeks with the team's practice squad in 2024. With Isaiah Likely (foot) sidelined for up to six weeks after undergoing surgery, Washington will provide the Ravens with another body at tight end during the team's training camp.

Cupp signed with the Ravens on Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Cupp was waived by Kansas City earlier in the offseason and appeared in one game with the team in 2024. He's a longshot to make the roster in Baltimore, but he will provide the team with some practice depth while Isaiah Likely (foot) remains sidelined.

Mundt (upper body) was a limited participant at the Jaguars' practice Sunday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Mundt had been sidelined with an undisclosed upper-body injury for a series of practices. The tight end's return to practice opens the door for him to potentially play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers.

Murray (groin) was held out of practice with a groin injury Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Murray appears to have suffered a groin injury at practice during the week, and he may now be at risk of missing the Bears' preseason opener Aug. 10 versus the Dolphins. The tight end will look to return to the practice field ahead of the contest, but if he can't make it, he'll shift his focus to Aug. 17 against Buffalo.

The Raiders waived Conroy on Sunday.

The move makes room on the Raiders' training camp roster for Albert Okwuegbunam, who was let go by the Colts on Thursday. Conroy signed with the Raiders in early May as an undrafted free agent, but he'll now look for other opportunities assuming he clears waivers.

The Raiders signed Okwuegbunam on Sunday.

Okwuegbunam was let go by the Colts on Thursday, but he'll have another opportunity to earn a spot on an NFL roster after inking a deal with the Raiders. Okwuegbunam last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Eagles, when he appeared in four games and failed to haul in his lone target. The 2020 fourth-rounder will compete with Justin Shorter, Ian Thomas and Michael Mayer for backup tight end duties behind Brock Bowers.

Long (undisclosed) participated in Sunday's training camp practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Long suffered an unspecified injury during this past Tuesday's practice, but he has recovered enough to return to the field for Sunday's session. The 2021 third-rounder signed a two-year contract with the Jaguars in March after spending the past two seasons with the Rams. Long is competing with Johnny Mundt (upper body) and Quintin Morris for backup tight end duties behind projected starter Brenton Strange.

The Rams activated Redman (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Saturday.

Redman opened camp on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but he has been given the green light to return to practice after passing his physical. He signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in late April and is battling to earn a spot on the 53-man roster as a backup tight end.
