  • Sal Cannella TE | CLE

    Sal Cannella: Let go by Seattle

    Cannella was waived by the Seahawks on Sunday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Cannella had success in the XFL with the Arlington Renegades this summer but was unable to land a spot on the Seahawks' 53-man roster. It's unclear whether he'll be able to find a spot with an NFL organization during the 2023 campaign.

  • Zach Gentry TE | LV

    Steelers' Zach Gentry: Quiet in preseason

    Gentry secured one of two targets for seven yards across the Steelers' three preseason games.

    Gentry rejoined the Steelers on a one-year deal during the offseason but wasn't utilized much in the passing game. Per Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, there's a chance Gentry doesn't make the 53-man roster now that rookie Darnell Washington is in the fold, but Gentry's solid blocking abilities bolster his chances for a spot on the final roster. However, it doesn't appear as though he'll have much fantasy value early in the regular season.

  • Raiders' Jacob Hollister: Lands on IR

    The Raiders placed Hollister (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Hollister signed with the Raiders on Aug 2. and was competing for a depth spot at tight end behind Austin Hooper, 2023 second-round pick Michael Mayer and Jesper Horsted. Hollister split time last season with the Raiders, Vikings and Seahawks but failed to record a catch over five games. He's set to miss the 2023 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Las Vegas.

  • Scotty Washington: Let go by New England

    The Patriots waived Washington on Sunday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Washington was signed to a reserve/future contract by the Patriots in January. He hauled in one pass for 11 yards in two preseason games and could rejoin the Patriots on their practice squad once he clears waivers.

  • Thomas Greaney TE | CLE

    Thomas Greaney: Let go by Cleveland

    The Browns waived Greaney on Sunday

    Greaney joined the Browns in May as an undrafted free agent. He managed to record eight catches for 61 yards in four preseason games. He'll now look to land on a practice squad ahead of the regular season.

  • Miller Forristall: Let go by Cleveland

    The Browns waived Forristall on Sunday.

    Forristall signed with the Browns on Aug. 4 after being waived by the Saints in July. He spent the last two seasons in Cleveland, where he appeared in six games without hauling in a catch over that time frame. He'll now look to land a practice squad spot elsewhere.

  • Justin Rigg TE | TEN

    Justin Rigg: Let go by Tennessee

    The Titans waived Rigg on Sunday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Rigg hauled in just one catch for five yards in the Titans' preseason opener against the Bears on Aug. 12. It was always an uphill battle to crack a depth role at tight end against Trevon Wesco and Josh Whyle. Once he clears waivers, Rigg will look to land on another team's practice squad.

  • Johnny Lumpkin: Let go by New England

    The Patriots waived Lumpkin on Sunday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Lumpkin joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in May. He failed to haul in a catch across three preseason games and will now look elsewhere for an opportunity at a roster or practice squad spot.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Doesn't play in preseason finale

    Bellinger sat out Saturday's exhibition loss to the Jets.

    Bellinger played in the Giants' first two preseason games, nabbing his only target for a four-yard touchdown connection with Daniel Jones. With Darren Waller added to the team in the offseason, Bellinger is slated to work in a backup role after featuring as a starter during his rookie campaign last year. That likely takes him off the fantasy radar in most formats, though he could emerge as a potential asset if Waller is unable to stay healthy.

  • Mike Gesicki TE | CIN

    Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Sheds non-contact jersey

    Gesicki (shoulder) shed his red non-contact jersey during Sunday's practice, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Gesicki returned to practice last week in a limited fashion after suffering a mild shoulder dislocation in mid-August. It's unclear how intense Sunday's session was, but it's still encouraging to see the veteran tight end taking the next steps in his rehab process. It appears Gesicki is on track to be fully cleared soon, and there's only two weeks left before New England opens the regular season against Philadelphia at home.
