The Cowboys are trading Hendershot to the Chiefs for a conditional seventh-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

It was previously reported that Dallas was waiving the tight end, but the Chiefs apparently were interested and made a small offer to ensure he wouldn't land with a team that had higher waiver priority. Hendershot now slots in at the bottom of Kansas City's depth chart, potentially competing with rookie Jared Wiley for the No. 3 TE role.

The 49ers waived Latu on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

The 2023 third-round pick missed his entire rookie season after suffering a meniscus injury last August, but he was busy this preseason with eight catches for 84 yards on 10 targets. It's possible Latu showed enough that another team will claim him on waivers. If not, the Niners might bring him back as a practice squad player.

Bowman was waived by the Jaguars on Tuesday.

Bowman has been working to earn a spot on the Jaguars' final roster since signing with the team after not being selected in the 2024 Daft. The Rutgers product will now need to find another opportunity if he wishes to continue pursuing a career in the NFL.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
