The Steelers waived Mason on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mason was facing an uphill battle to earn a roster spot as he had only joined this team earlier this month after being claimed off waivers. The rookie undrafted free agent spent time earlier this offseason with the Seahawks and will now look to catch on with another team.

The Chiefs waived Pline on Sunday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Pline participated in the Chiefs' preseason opener and finale but did not record a target in either contest. The tight end has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game. Pline will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent able to sign with any franchise.

The Panthers waived Mitchell on Sunday, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell had a strong camp and a solid preseason, catching eight passes for 42 yards over four preseason contests with the Panthers. The tight end will now be subject to waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there is a strong possibility he ends up back with the Panthers on the practice squad.

The Broncos waived Krull on Sunday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Krull spent the majority of the 2025 season on injured reserve with a foot issue. The tight end participated in all three preseason games for the Broncos, catching one of his two targets for four yards. Krull will now be subject to waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent able to sign with any organization.

Joly was cut by the Broncos on Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.coms reports.

Joly was the No. 152 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old began his collegiate career at Connecticut before spending his final two seasons at NC State, where he most recently amassed 49 catches for 489 yards and seven touchdowns. Joly could draw interest from more than a few NFL teams, though it may come as a member of a practice squad.

The Titans waived Wilson on Sunday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Wilson participated in all three preseason games for the Titans, catching four of his five targets for 18 net yards. The tight end had an unfortunate showing in Saturday's preseason finale, catching just one ball and losing four yards after the catch for a two-yard loss. The 26-year-old will now be placed on waivers. If Wilson goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any team.

The Browns placed Royer (personal) on the reserve/non-football illness list Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Royer has been designated to return to the team but will be required to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. The rookie fifth-rounder missed the entirety of the preseason due to a personal issue. It remains unclear when the tight end will be ready to return to football.

The Cowboys waived Trigg on Sunday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Trigg played in the first and last of the Cowboys' preseason contests, hauling in four of five targets for 30 yards against the Seahawks before failing to catch any of his three targets in the preseason finale against the Saints. The tight end may not have been able to make the 53-man roster, but the Cowboys would like to have Trigg back with the practice squad if he is not claimed during the waiver period.

The Packers waived Dabney on Sunday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Dabney participated in all three preseason games for the Packers, catching three passes for 15 yards. The tight end joined the Packers' practice squad in early November, and if he clears waivers will likely return to the unit for the 2026 regular season.

The Giants cut Conner on Sunday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Conner had spent the majority of last season with the Dolphins, catching nine of his 15 targets for 91 yards across nine outings before being released and catching on with the Giants' practice squad. The 28-year-old will now look to catch on with another team.
