Amos (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return.

The second-year corner will miss at least the first four games of the season for the Commanders as he works his way back from an ankle injury sustained during training camp. Amos played in 10 games as a rookie, logging 32 tackles and six pass breakups over 511 snaps.

Rose (undisclosed) was waived by the Jaguars with an injury designation Sunday, John Oehser of the team's official website reports.

Rose suffered an undisclosed injury at some point during the preseason. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, the defensive lineman will revert to injured reserve with Jacksonville.

Hamilton (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Texans on Sunday.

Hamilton appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury at some point during the preseason. If he clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve with the Texans.

The Commanders placed McNichols (quadriceps) on injured reserve with a designation to return Sunday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

As a result of the transaction, McNichols won't be eligible to make his 2026 debut until at least Week 5 while he recovers from the quad injury, which he sustained earlier this month. Once activated, McNichols could have a role on special teams for the Commanders, but he'll likely be in line for limited snaps on offense if all of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (lower body), Rachaad White (hamstring) and Kaytron Allen are healthy and available out of the backfield.

The Broncos waived McLaughlin on Sunday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

After serving in a depth capacity in the Denver backfield over the past three seasons and averaging an excellent 4.8 yards per carry over that stretch, McLaughiln re-upped with the Broncos on a one-year, $1.43 million deal in March but was still forced to battle for a roster spot heading into training camp and the preseason. A lack of utility on special teams appears to have cost McLaughlin a job, with Denver opting to keep Tyler Badie over him as its No. 4 running back behind J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman.

The Titans released Carter on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Carter saw ample playing time down the stretch last regular season for the Cardinals, finishing with 333 rushing yards and a touchdown on 92 carries (3.6 average) to go with a 33-267-0 line on 45 targets over 13 games. Even so, Carter didn't have a robust market in free agency this offseason and joined the Titans on a modest one-year deal in April. He was forced to compete for a job throughout training camp and the preseason and fell short in his battle for a roster spot, with Tennessee opting to keep four other running backs (Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Nicholas Singleton and Julius Chestnut) over him.

Dean (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Packers on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Dean compiled six total tackles (four solo) during the preseason with Green Bay, but he may have suffered an injury at some point along the way. The safety will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with the Packers. At that point, he'd need to reach an injury settlement with the team in order to have a chance to play in 2026.

Niese (leg) was waived/injured by the Lions on Sunday.

Niese suffered a right leg injury in the team's preseason contest against the Commanders on Aug. 22, and he was seen on crutches after the game. The offensive lineman will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with Detroit.

Sanders (undisclosed) was waived by the Broncos with an injury designation Sunday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.

Sanders recorded two total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during the preseason, but he appears to have picked up an undisclosed injury along the way. The linebacker will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with Denver. At that point, he'd have to reach an injury settlement with the team in order to possibly play in 2026.

Manning (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation by the Bears on Sunday.

Manning recorded 11 total tackles (nine solo) during the preseason, but it appears as if the cornerback picked up an undisclosed injury along the way. If the 24-year-old clears waivers, he'll revert to season-ending injured reserve with Chicago. If that is the case, Manning would have to reach an injury settlement with the Bears to have a chance to play during the 2026 campaign.
