Browning has been cut by Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After signing with Tampa Bay in March, Browning had been expected to back up Baker Mayfield and recently returned to practice after a back injury. Browning had a quiet preseason, completing 10 of 15 passes for 86 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Browning's release means Tampa Bay will move forward with undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels as the team's No. 2 QB behind Mayfield.

Daniels is moving forward as Tampa Bay's backup quarterback behind Baker Mayfield after impressing throughout training camp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After entering camp as an undrafted rookie in a crowded quarterback room, Daniels appears to have climbed into the No. 2 role behind Mayfield. The decision gives him clear roster security and places him next in line if Tampa Bay needs a backup to step into game action. Daniels won the job after a strong preseason during which he completed 27 of 44 passes for 239 yards and a touchdown without being picked off.

Allen was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with DUI, FOX59 reports.

Per the report, Allen was arrested overnight in Indianapolis "on preliminary charges of (DWI) and DWI endangering a person." The Colts, via Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, issued a statement saying, "We are aware of the incident involving Allen last night. We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."

The Rams waived Villari on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Villari joined Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in late April and played in all three of the team's preseason games, catching one of two targets for 24 yards. The Syracuse product has intriguing versatility, as he logged some time as a quarterback and also was used often as a rusher during college. Villari is a candidate to settle in with the Rams' practice squad if he goes through waivers unclaimed.

The Rams waived Jones on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones signed with Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in late April and stuck with the organization throughout the preseason. However, the Rams have a crowded tight-end room, so Jones was never expected to make the roster cut.

The Rams waived Edwards on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Edwards spent all of last season on Los Angeles' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with the organization in late January. He appeared in all three of the team's preseason contests, catching six of eight targets for 48 yards. Edwards won't make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's a candidate to return to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Steelers traded Jones and a future fourth-round draft pick to Dallas on Saturday in exchange for future third- and sixth-round picks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pittsburgh selected Jones in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he's yet to make much of an impact as a pro. Dallas elected to take a chance on his pedigree and was willing to give up draft capital in return. The Cowboys have some question marks at tackle, so Jones could get a chance to provide valuable depth at the position if he makes a positive impression.

Beanum (undisclosed) will be waived/injured by the Saints, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

After going undrafted in 2025, Beanum was signed by the Saints before being waived on cutdown day last August. He then joined New Orleans' practice squad, where he spent the entire campaign. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve, meaning he'll miss this season, barring getting cut with an injury settlement.

Baltimore traded Pounds to the Chiefs on Saturday in exchange for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2028, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Pounds made a positive impression during the preseason slate, per Garafolo, which put him on KC's radar. The 330-pounder out of Ole Miss should provide the Chiefs depth along the offensive line if he sticks with the club.

The Steelers waived Wentz on Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Wentz initially signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in May but was cut in June and subsequently latched on with Pittsburgh. The Kansas product played in all three of the Steelers' preseason games but didn't do much, catching one of four targets for nine yards. Wentz could get a spot on the Steelers' practice squad in the likely scenario that he passes through waivers unclaimed.
