The Dolphins claimed Miller off waivers from the Giants on Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Miller was competing for a roster spot with the Giants but was waved on Monday. The 26-year-old now has a chance to compete in a wide-open corps, with Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons likely holding a lot of sway over the final decisions for cut-down day.

The Saints placed Matavao (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Matavao sustained a knee injury during Saturday's 34-0 preseason loss to the Rams. The tight end's placement on IR means he will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Matavao logged three catches for 34 yards in Saturday's game and seemed to have a good chance to make the 53-man roster.

The Saints placed Chandler (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Chandler suffered a season-ending knee injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Rams. The running back has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the entirety of the 2026 season. The Saints added Zamir White in a trade with the 49ers to make up for the loss of Chandler.

Means (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Means suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's 34-0 preseason loss to the Rams. The wide receiver has recovered quickly from the issue and is all set to return to practice. The 25-year-old will likely see more action in Friday's preseason finale against the Cowboys, giving him one more shot to prove his worth in a live game before cutdown day.

The Broncos waived Butler on Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Butler signed with the Broncos in early June, attempting to make his return to the NFL after a stint with the UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks. The wide receiver received four targets over two preseason games but did not register a catch. Butler will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent able to sign with any team. The Broncos signed linebacker Ron Stone in a corresponding move.

Bagent (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Bagent was sidelined last week due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the Bears' preseason opener against the Browns. The backup quarterback is back in action and has a good chance to participate in Saturday's preseason finale against the Titans.

Multiple teams have reached out to Reddick as of Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Reddick spent the 2025 season with the Buccaneers, tallying 31 tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one pass defensed over 13 regular-season games. The veteran linebacker has 61.5 career sacks and remains a free agent. Reddick has not had a double-digit sack season since the 2023 Eagles campaign (11.0), but teams are likely hoping to rekindle the lost production in a short-term "prove it" deal.

Chase (knee) said Tuesday that he could play in a game Wednesday after exiting Tuesday's practice early, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Chase has spent Tuesday afternoon downplaying his hyperextended knee, so this seems like it will be a non-issue moving forward after he came down awkwardly at the end of practice. The star wide receiver is a cinch top-five fantasy pick as Joe Burrow's alpha wideout.

Chase downplayed his knee injury Tuesday, saying it was a "little hyperextension," and he could've kept practicing, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Chase came up limping at the tail end of Tuesday's session when he jumped for a deep ball and landed awkwardly. He immediately left the field and was tended to by the training staff before shooing them away and remaining on the sidelines for the remainder of practice. It sounds like Chase will be fine well in time for the Bengals' regular-season opener in a little less than three weeks.

Olave exited Tuesday's practice early with an undisclosed injury, Mike Triplett of New Orleans.Football reports.

According to coach Kellen Moore, Olave got the wind knocked out of him, and the receiver is expected to be fine after landing on his back during drills, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Olave left practice last week after a similar incident. With Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) set to miss significant time to begin the 2026 season, the Saints can't afford to lose Olave as well.
