New York will waive Jenkins on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The undrafted rookie out of Georgia Tech seems like a strong practice squad candidate, as the Jets knew he'd require ample development when bringing him in shortly after April's draft. The 6-foot-6 wideout-turned-TE could, in time, refine his game and become a useful situational weapon in the red zone.

The Broncos are in line to waive Okwuegbunam, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Okwuegbunam caught seven of eight targets for 109 yards and a TD in Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, but the Broncos are moving on from the 2020 fourth-rounder ahead of Week 1. With Okwuegbunam no longer in the mix, the team's tight end corps is currently led by Adam Trautman, Greg Dulcich and Chris Manhertz.

Jacksonville is slated to waive Prince on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Prince could be a candidate to resurface on the Jaguars' practice squad, where he spent the entire 2022 season after having gone undrafted out UAB. The second-year tight end is still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut.

Wilson was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wilson joined the team as an undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan. Although he won't start the season on the 53-man roster, it is expected he will be brought back and placed on the team's practice squad.

Krull caught seven of 15 targets for 106 yards during Sunday's 17-13 preseason defeat against Houston.

Krull led the Saints' receiving corps in targets, receptions and catches against Houston, though he did not haul in the team's lone passing touchdown. Instead, quarterback Jameis Winston hit 36-year-old tight end Jimmy Graham for a three-yard score early in the second quarter. While Krull's performance in the Saints' preseason finale was impressive, it likely won't secure him a roster spot ahead of Tuesday's cutdown deadline, as the team appears very deep at tight end with Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Graham rounding out the top three while Taysom Hill (oblique) slots into his usual jack-of-all-trades role. Krull did spend much of last season on New Orleans' practice squad, and he seems like a shoo-in to reprise his role so long as he doesn't get picked up by another team prior to the regular season.

The Chargers waived Kampmoyer on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

With Gerald Everett and Donald Parham locked in as the top two tight ends on the roster, Kampmoyer was a likely candidate to end up on the outside looking in when final roster cuts rolled around. He will now need to look for a new landing spot unless the Chargers offer him a spot on their practice squad.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he expects Andrews (undisclosed) to practice next week and play in the season opener against Houston on Sunday, Sept. 10, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Andrews missed another practice Monday, marking his third straight absence, and it sounds like he'll remain out for at least a few more days. Harbaugh has insisted the tight end is dealing with a minor issue, though the specifics of the injury have yet to be released. Andrews can be considered day-to-day moving forward.

The Rams waived McDonald on Monday.

McDonald signed with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent but was ultimately sent packing early in training camp. He subsequently latched on with the Rams and was competing for a depth tight end role. The rookie ultimately came up short in his quest, but there is still a possibility the team could offer him a role on its practice squad.

Sims was waived by the Rams on Monday.

Sims signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent this past offseason. He recorded 94 receptions for 948 yards and five touchdowns in over 30 games during his collegiate career at Bowling Green. The rookie was considered a long shot to make it through final cuts, but it remains to be seen if the team will offer him a spot on the practice squad.

Schreck was waived by the Texans on Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Schreck spent his first four seasons in Cincinnati before joining the Texans in 2022. He suited up for three games but primarily worked on the team's practice squad. That appears to be his likely destination again this year, but he could opt to look elsewhere for opportunities as well.
