Gould (groin) was waived by the Colts on Sunday.

The third-year wideout will head to waivers after the Colts went in a different direction with their final receiver depth chart going into the season. Gould primarily played on special teams through his two seasons in Indianapolis. If Gould goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent.

Gordon (calf) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Bears on Sunday.

Gordon has been dealing with an ongoing calf injury that he sustained in May, and he spent the entire preseason on the active/PUP list.

Brown signed a reserve/future contract with Chicago in January, and he turned 14 carries into 22 yards while also catching four of five targets for 22 yards and a score during the preseason. The running back is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and he is now set to miss the entire season while on IR, unless he can reach an injury settlement with the team.

Demercado was waived by the Chiefs on Sunday.

The Chiefs are starting the season with Kenneth Walker, Emmett Johnson and Brashard Smith as their running backs. Demercado will now head to waivers after averaging an impressive 7.1 yards per carry and posting a 13-101-1 receiving line across 13 regular-season games with the Cardinals in 2025.

McCloud (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Bears on Sunday.

McCloud signed with Chicago on Aug. 10, and he appears to have suffered an undisclosed injury at some point during the preseason. The wide receiver is now set to miss the entire 2026 season while on IR, unless he's able to reach an injury settlement with the Bears.

Wisniewski (hamstring) was waived by the Eagles on Sunday.

Philadelphia waived a pair of rookie draft picks Sunday, including Wisniewski. The safety out of Texas Tech had an uphill battle to make the roster due to the depth of the Eagles' secondary. Wisniewski will now go on waivers and will be a free agent if he goes unclaimed.

James-Newby (undisclosed) was waived by the Eagles on Sunday.

The rookie seventh-rounder was injured early in August, and though he was able to move past that injury over the course of the preseason, James-Newby will not be on the final 53-man roster. James-Newby will now be subject to waivers and could be a practice squad candidate for the Eagles.
