  • Josiah Deguara TE | ARI

    Josiah Deguara: Released by Jacksonville

    The Jaguars released Deguara on Tuesday.

    Deguara inked a one-year deal with the Jaguars back in March after spending the first four seasons of his career with Green Bay. The Jaguars opted to retain Evan Engram, Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange at tight end over Deguara.

  • Michael Jacobson: Dumped by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Jacobson on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Jacobson spent last season on New Orleans' practice squad but has yet to appear in a regular-season contest despite bouncing around the league for the last four years. He had just one catch for four yards across 73 offensive snaps this preseason.

  • Stephen Carlson: Released by Chicago

    The Bears released Carlson on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The 27-year-old tight end bounced between the practice squad and active roster with Chicago last season but appeared in just one game. He hasn't caught a regular-season pass since 2020 with the Browns and has just six career grabs for 62 yards and one touchdown.

  • Jacob Hollister: Dumped by Carolina

    The Panthers released Hollister on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Hollister turns 31 in November and missed all of last season after reaching an injury settlement with the Raiders. He has 62 games of NFL experience with a career 83-707-7 receiving line, but Hollister didn't do enough to win a 53-man roster spot in Carolina this summer, finishing the preseason with four catches for 27 yards.

  • Messiah Swinson: Cut by Green Bay

    The Packers waived Swinson on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Undrafted out of Arizona State back in April, Swinson failed to make an impression on the field this preseason, finishing with zero catches on 28 offensive snaps.

  • E.J. Jenkins TE | PHI

    E.J. Jenkins: Doesn't make final cut

    Jenkins was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Jenkins spent time on Philadelphia's practice squad last season and re-signed with the team in January. The Georgia Tech product was expected to have a legitimate chance to make the 53-man roster but will ultimately fall just short. He should garner interest from other teams, according to Garafolo.

  • Joel Wilson TE | TEN

    Joel Wilson: Headed for free agency

    Wilson was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Wilson signed a reserve/future contract with Green Bay in January and spent part of last season on their practice squad. According to Wood, the Central Michigan product is likely a practice squad candidate for the team once again this season, assuming he clears waivers.

  • Irv Smith TE | HOU

    Irv Smith: Released by Kansas City

    Kansas City released Smith on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The 2019 second-round pick was a healthy scratch for the Bengals by the end of last season and now finds himself unable to earn a spot on Kansas City's initial 53-man roster. Smith is only 26 years old but may struggle to stick around the league as anything more than a practice squad player.

  • Jack Stoll TE | CLE

    Jack Stoll: Cut by G-Men

    The Giants waived Stoll on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    The 26-year-old tight end caught four passes for 39 scoreless yards during the preseason. Stoll appeared in a total of 50 games for the Eagles over the previous three seasons before signing with the Giants back in March. He'll look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

  • Jelani Woods TE | NYJ

    Colts' Jelani Woods: Headed for IR

    The Colts are in line to place Woods (toe) on season-ending IR, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Woods, who missed all of last year due to repeated hamstring injuries, is now on track to be sidelined for a second straight season due to a turf toe injury that required surgery. In his absence, the Colts will move forward with a TE corps led by Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory.
