Chicago released Carlson on Tuesday.

Carlson is healthy after having missed all of the 2024 season due to a collarbone injury, but he's now among a number of cuts made by the Bears to get down to a 53-man roster. The 28-year-old will likely look to resurface on a practice squad, whether with the Bears or elsewhere in the league.

The Bears released Boykin on Tuesday.

Boykin put together a strong training camp and preseason with Chicago, but he was always facing an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 53-man roster due to the team's depth at wide receiver. He'll be a candidate to end up on the Bears' practice squad.

The Jaguars waived Harris on Tuesday.

Harris signed with Jacksonville on Aug. 19 and played in the team's final preseason game, recording 25 yards on seven carries along with 17 yards on three catches. His most recent regular-season action came in 2023, when he played in four contests with the Patriots and logged 16 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown along with three catches on three targets for 58 yards.

The Bears placed Homer (calf) on IR on Tuesday, ruling him out for at least the first four games of the regular season.

Homer will miss the first four games of the regular season, at a minimum, due to a calf injury sustained during Chicago's preseason opener against Miami. Once fully recovered, Homer will figure to return as a depth option behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson (foot).

The Colts waived Mang on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.

Mang didn't see a target across two preseason games, and the undrafted rookie out of Syracuse will now go on waivers. Assuming he goes unclaimed, Mang will look to catch on with a team in need of depth at tight end.

The Jaguars waived Brayboy on Tuesday.

Brayboy inked a deal with Jacksonville as an undrafted free agent in late April and appeared in all three of the team's preseason contests, but he didn't catch any of his four targets. The 24-year-old was added to the CFL's Edmonton Elks' negotiation list Tuesday.

Indianapolis waived Kahmann on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

The undrafted rookie played in all three of the Colts' preseason games, finishing with two catches (on four targets) for eight yards. Kahmann will have an opportunity to sign with another team assuming he clears waivers and could catch on with a practice squad in need of depth at wide receiver.

Dallas waived Holden on Tuesday.

Holden went undrafted out of Oregon back in April, and despite spending the entire offseason with the Cowboys, he couldn't secure a role on the 53-man roster. He'll now likely need to search for a role on a practice squad for his next NFL opportunity, whether with Dallas or elsewhere.

Dallas waived Fairweather on Tuesday.

Fairweather spent the offseason competing for a reserve role with the Cowboys, but he couldn't earn one of limited spots on the initial 53-man roster. The undrafted rookie out of Auburn may be a candidate to pop back up on the practice squad.

The Cowboys placed Turner (ribs) on injured reserve Tuesday, ruling him out for at least the first four games of the regular season.

Turner could have his practice window opened after Week 4 and be back on the field in time to suit up Week 5 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 5, depending on the recovery timetable required for his ribs injury. Once fully healthy, 2021 first-round pick, who spent the first four years of his NFL career in New Orleans, will work to carve out a depth role in the Cowboys' pass-rush rotation.
