Surratt has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's preseason game against Denver due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Surratt signed with the Cardinals on Wednesday. He caught one pass for four yards before leaving Sunday's contest.

Atlanta waived Stogner on Sunday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Stogner signed as an undrafted free agent with Atlanta in April. He appeared in all three preseason games, but he did not register a catch on four targets. Assuming he clears waivers, Stogner will look to catch onto a team's practice squad.

The Falcons released Thomas on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Thomas hasn't seen NFL action since 2020 with the Cardinals and Patriots, and after spending all of 2023 on the Panthers' practice squad, he signed with the Falcons on Aug. 1. He caught his lone pass for six yards in Atlanta's preseason opener against Miami on Aug. 9, but didn't do much else beyond that. The 2018 sixth-round pick will now look to catch on with another team.

The Jaguars released Myarick on Sunday.

Myarick signed with the Jaguars in early August after not playing in 2023. He last saw NFL action in 2022 with the Giants, and he'll now look to catch on with a team in need of a fullback.

Johnson will play in the Saints' preseason contest against Tennessee on Sunday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Johnson began training camp on the active/PUP list while continuing to recover from the foot surgery he underwent in June. The tight end was able to return to team drills Thursday and will be able to get in some game reps during New Orleans' final exhibition Sunday. Johnson likely won't log extensive playing time in this matchup, but the snaps should help him prepare for the regular season, as he's slated to be the team's No. 1 tight end under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

Miami released Fortson on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Fortson missed all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery prior to the start of the campaign. He signed a contract with the Dolphins this March and caught two of three targets for 20 yards during the exhibition slate but won't make the roster cut. Fortson could still end up on the team's practice squad.

Muse has not practiced in recent weeks with an undisclosed injury, The Athletic reports.

Muse appeared set to win the No. 3 tight end role, but he's now dealing with an injury, while Robert Tonyan returned to practice. Muse had a strong first two preseason games, but now his status for Week 1 is in question.

Kolar had two receptions on three targets for 14 yards in Saturday's preseason tilt against the Packers.

Kolar got some run due to Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely sitting out Baltimore's exhibition finale. The 25-year-old Kolar doesn't project to be a fantasy factor this season with the kind of receiving talent ahead of him on the Ravens' tight end depth chart.

Hendershot caught his only target for a 10-yard gain in Saturday's 26-19 preseason loss to the Chargers.

The third-year tight end has been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of training camp, but Hendershot was able to play in the Cowboys' preseason finale and haul in his lone pass late in the first quarter. With Jake Ferguson and 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker locked in atop the tight end depth chart, Hendershot is in a fierce battle with John Stephens, Brevyn Spann-Ford and others for one of the team's final roster spots.

Njoku (undisclosed) isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason contest at Seattle, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Njoku has been dealing with some soreness since mid-August, which has kept him off the practice field in the meantime. With his lack of availability for the exhibition finale confirmed, he'll set his sights on a Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 8. Over the last two campaigns with the Browns, Njoku has come on as a receiving threat with a combined 139 catches (on 203 targets) for 1,510 yards and 10 touchdowns in 30 regular-season games.
