Tinsley was waived by the Bengals on Sunday, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.

The wide receiver caught eight passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals in 2025. He also played on 123 special-teams snaps and agreed to a one-year extension with the team in January, but he fell short of the 53-man roster for 2026 after a competition with rookie fourth-round pick Colbie Young and former Canadian Football League player Dohnte Meyers. Tinsley has NFL experience and could find a home on the practice squad of either Cincinnati or another team.

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

Sheppard spent the offseason competing for a depth role after signing a reserve/future contract with the team in January but was unable to earn a roster spot. The 2025 undrafted free agent spent last season on Green Bay's practice squad, where he could return for the upcoming campaign should he clear waivers.

The Colts waived Pancol on Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Pancol spent time last season with both Jacksonville and Indianapolis' practice squads before signing a reserve/future contract with the Colts in January. The 2025 undrafted free agent will look to catch on with another team and make his regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.

Sturdivant has made Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The undrafted free agent out of Florida impressed the coaching staff with 112 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Packers' preseason finale. Sturdivant is likely to be limited to a depth role out of the gate, as Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden seem secure in the top three spots on the wide receiver depth chart.

The Packers waived Neyor on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Neyor signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January but was unable to impress enough throughout the offseason to earn a roster spot. The 25-year-old spent last season on Green Bay's practice squad and could do so once again during the upcoming campaign should he go unclaimed on waivers.

The Packers waived Prather on Sunday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Prather signed with the team in July but was unable to earn a roster spot. The 23-year-old was selected by the Bills in the seventh round of the 2025 Draft but ended up spending his rookie season in the UFL with the Louisville Kings. He will now look to catch on with another team and make his regular-season debut.

The Jaguars waived Boyd on Sunday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Boyd was unable to impress enough to earn a roster spot after having signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in April. The 24-year-old will now look to catch on with another team.

The Chiefs waived Loyd on Sunday, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.

Loyd's tenure with the Chiefs has seemingly come to an end after he joined the team as an undrafted free agent in May following a successful tryout. He will now look to catch on with another team.

Watson was released by the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Watson was in camp with the Texans after appearing in three regular-season games with Houston in 2025. The 30-year-old wide receiver is a veteran of 93 NFL games, so he may garner some interest as a depth option for a team in search of help in the passing game.

Hagans was waived by the Colts on Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

After Indianapolis signed Keenan Allen in mid August, Hagans was competing for one of the last spots on the depth chart, and he didn't do anything to separate himself during preseason action. The wide receiver was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May after catching 43 passes for 508 yards and six touchdowns at Duke in 2025.
