The Vikings waived Nesbit on Tuesday.

Nesbit tied for second on the Vikings during the preseason with 73 receiving yards, scoring once on five receptions. The undrafted rookie's biggest knock coming out of North Carolina was his run blocking, and he seemingly didn't prove enough this summer, getting beat out by fellow undrafted rookie Benjamin Yurosek for the No. 3 tight end role. Nesbit may have an opportunity to stick around on the practice squad.

Dimukeje (pectoral) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports.

Dimukeje has been sidelined since May while recovering from a torn pectoral muscle, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of the 2025 campaign. Considering that he's expected to operate as a depth piece on New York's defense, his absence will likely carry its greatest impact on special teams.

The Vikings waived Fleming on Tuesday.

Fleming brought speed to the Vikings' receiver room after he ran a 4.44 40-yard dash, but his production at Tulane was mediocre overall. The 23-year-old finished fourth on the team with 71 receiving yards this preseason.

The Cardinals released Carter on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

In nine games with the Cardinals over the last two seasons, Carter turned 57 carries into 280 yards (4.9 YPC) and one touchdown and added 20 catches on 22 targets for 90 yards and another TD. While those numbers are respectable, they weren't enough to make the cut for the 53-man roster in a depth role behind James Conner and Trey Benson. Carter can sign with any team but may end up back on Arizona's practice squad, where he spent most of the 2024 campaign.

Tonyan was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday.

Tonyan signed with the Chiefs in March and was unable to do enough during the preseason to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. The 31-year-old tight end recorded just three catches for 49 yards in his preseason action. Tonyan will now look to find a role with another team ahead of the 2025 season.

The Vikings waived Jones on Tuesday.

Jones led the Vikings this preseason with 100 receiving yards on nine receptions, but he fell short of a roster spot for the second straight season. The 25-year-old receiver was quite productive at college in Maryland, but he'll aim for a practice-squad role once again.

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

Felton failed to appear in any preseason contests with New York, which could be due to the undisclosed injury he's apparently dealing with. If the wide receiver goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve with the Giants.

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

Cambre signed with New York as an undrafted free agent in April, reeling in two catches for 45 yards in his lone preseason appearance. The wide receiver earned first-team reps early in training camp, and if he goes unclaimed on waivers, he's a likely candidate for the Giants' practice squad.

Bartholomew (back) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

The rookie sixth-round pick out of Pittsburgh missed the entire training camp and will now sit out at least four games. Bartholomew put together a solid collegiate career but never surpassed 326 yards or four touchdowns in a season. Once he returns, he'll look to usurp undrafted rookie Benjamin Yurosek for the No. 3 tight end job.

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

McAtamney inked a reserve/future contract with New York in January, and went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts, including a 42-yarder, while making all 11 of his PATs over the Giants three preseason contests. The kicker will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely stick around the Giants' practice squad for the second straight year.
