Rex was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday.

Rex was a late addition to the Chargers' training camp. He signed with the Bolts on Thursday and played in the preseason finale against the Cowboys on Saturday, though he wasn't targeted. Assuming he clears waivers, Rex could catch on with a team's practice squad.

The Chargers waived Heins on Tuesday.

After going undrafted, the South Dakota State tight end signed as a free agent with the Chargers in April. Heins didn't accrue a catch until the Chargers' preseason finale against the Cowboys on Saturday, when he posted one reception for 11 yards. He'll explore his next options assuming he clears waivers.

The Chargers waived Fisk on Tuesday.

After being waived off the Falcons' IR in May, Fisk managed to catch on with the Chargers on Aug. 14. He didn't accrue a catch in the Bolts' second preseason game and sat out of the preseason finale against the Cowboys on Saturday. Fisk will explore his next options should he go unclaimed off waivers.

The Packers waived Pearson on Tuesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Pearson has bounced off and on the Packers' roster over the last couple seasons. He appeared in two games last year, seeing 11 offensive snaps and another 23 on special teams.

The Chargers waived Benson on Tuesday.

Benson managed to catch on with the Chargers in April as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech. He spent minicamp and training camp competing for a depth tight end spot, and across three preseason outings, he caught two passes on four targets for 14 yards. Assuming he clears waivers, Benson could opt to stick around on the Chargers' practice squad or catch on with another team elsewhere.

The Seahawks waived Mabry on Tuesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Mabry joined Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2020, and he has spent most of his tenure on the practice squad. He did appear in 10 games between 2021 and 2022, and he caught his lone touchdown pass of seven yards in Week 17 against the Jets in the 2022 season. Mabry could opt to rejoin the Seahawks on their practice squad or explore his options elsewhere should he go unclaimed off waivers.

Willis was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Willis appeared in seven regular-season games for San Francisco last year after he was selected in the seventh round of the 2023 Draft out of Oklahoma. However, that experience wasn't enough to keep him with the 49ers for now. He'll likely be a candidate for the practice squad if he doesn't find an opportunity elsewhere.

The Panthers waived Franks on Tuesday.

Franks spent roughly one month in Carolina. He spent 2023 on the Falcons' injured reserve list after dressing for 20 games for the team across the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. The converted quarterback has been trying to make it as a tight end.

The Rams waived Forristall on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Forristall spent most of the 2023 season on the Rams' practice squad, though he was not called up for a single game. He was competing for a backup spot at tight end during training camp, and he accrued five catches for 30 yards and one touchdown across three preseason games. Forristall could opt to return to the Rams on their practice squad or, assuming he clears waivers, he could look to catch on with another team.

The Panthers released Horsted on Tuesday.

Horsted signed with Carolina on Aug. 5 after spending the previous two seasons with the Raiders. The tight end has 14 career catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns. The Panthers kept Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble and rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders at the position.
