The Bengals waived Williams on Tuesday.

Williams played eight games as an undrafted rookie last season and mostly worked as a returner, but he couldn't secure the job in Cincinnati with Charlie Jones on board. If Williams clears waivers, he'll likely seek a practice-squad role.

Hicks was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Hicks inked a reserve/future contract with Green Bay in January, reeling in five catches for 31 yards during the team's three preseason contests. The wide receiver will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, it's possible he sticks around with the Packers' practice squad.

The Bengals waived Pryor on Tuesday.

Pryor entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he finally made his NFL debut in 2022, suiting up in two games and catching one pass for nine yards. The Wisconsin product has experience as a returner, so he could be a fine option for the Bengals' practice squad.

Sermon was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

Sermon signed with the Steelers on May 11, and despite a relatively active preseason, the 26-year-old running back was unable to secure a spot on Pittsburgh's 53-man roster behind Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson. The Ohio State product will now look to latch on with another team for the 2025 season.

Davis-Price was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website reports.

Davis-Price signed with Green Bay on Aug. 12, recording 32 rushing yards on nine carries and one catch for seven yards over two preseason contests with the team. The running back will now look for his next opportunity, which will likely have to come with a team's practice squad ahead of the 2025 campaign.

The Bengals waived Moore on Tuesday.

Moore converted from quarterback to wide receiver during college and wound up being highly productive by his senior season at Duke, finishing with 55 receptions for 861 yards and eight touchdowns. However, the Bengals were too deep at wide receiver for the undrafted rookie to make an impact, meaning he'll likely head to the practice squad once he clears waivers.

The Bengals waived Milton on Tuesday.

Milton showed some potential this preseason with 94 carries on 17 carries (5.5 YPC). The Georgia product spent most of the 2024 season on the Bengals' practice squad, which is likely where he'll look to land if he clears waivers.

The Bengals waived Mayes on Tuesday.

Mayes also went to college at Cincinnati where he posted 29 receptions for 349 yards and a touchdown in his final season. The Bengals have a crowded receiver room, so Mayes was always a longshot to make the roster. Mayes caught one of six targets for 48 yards in the preseason. He's a practice-squad candidate.

Hawkins (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.

Hawkins missed all three of the Giants' preseason contests, which could be due to the undisclosed injury he's dealing with. If the cornerback clears waivers, he will revert to injured reserve with New York for the 2025 season.

Ledbetter was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.

Ledbetter signed with New York in March after three seasons in Jacksonville, recording nine total tackles (four solo) over three preseason contests with the Giants. He will now look for his next opportunity elsewhere ahead of the 2025 campaign.
