NFL Player News

The Packers waived Lumpkin on Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lumpkin played 49 offensive snaps during the preseason and caught three passes for 26 yards on four targets. He's yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.

The Giants waived DeVito on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

New York won't carry DeVito on the 53-man roster with all of Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston already guaranteed spots, and a fourth QB seeming superfluous given the team's needs across the board. Across three regular-season appearances (two starts) in 2024, DeVito completed 31 of 44 passes for 257 yards with zero touchdowns while rushing eight times for 32 yards. The Giants will likely hope DeVito makes it back to the practice squad, but a QB-needy team could claim him on waivers.

The Falcons waived Corbin on Tuesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Corbin logged 66 offensive snaps this preseason, finishing with 18 carries for 59 yards across three exhibitions. Corbin last appeared in a regular-season game back in 2023, when he produced one rushing yard on one attempt and caught three passes for 12 yards across six contests with the Giants.

The Browns released Johnson on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Johnson got extensive playing time this preseason, mostly with the second- and third-string offenses, but caught just two of six targets for 19 yards. He also failed to earn a meaningful role in Baltimore and Houston during the second half of last season, after enjoying a volume-fueled run of production for Carolina earlier in 2024. Jamari Thrash is the favorite for Cleveland's No. 3 receiver job in Week 1, behind presumed starters Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

The Giants released Ward on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Ward rushed 13 times for 47 yards and caught seven passes for 80 yards and two touchdowns during the preseason. The 27-year-old could be a candidate to join the practice squad in New York.

The Patriots are releasing John Parker Romo, leaving Borregales as the lone kicker on their roster, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Drafted in the sixth round this spring, Borregales made three of five field-goal attempts and all six of his PATs this preseason, with misses coming from 57 and 49 yards out. He was the starting kicker the past four seasons at the University of Miami, where he converted 74 of 86 field-goal attempts (86.0 percent) and 183 of 184 PATs. Borregales could be useful as a streamer this season, but he'll rightfully go undrafted in most fantasy leagues, as there are plenty of other kickers who have more experience and/or play for teams that are projected to be more productive than the Patriots.

The Giants waived Miller on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Miller appeared in two regular-season games for the G-Men last season but didn't record a touch on offense. This preseason, however, Miller was one of the most productive running backs across the league, rushing 26 times for 80 yards while adding 14 catches for 135 yards on 14 targets. Miller will be a candidate to rejoin the Giants' practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Chiefs released Edwards (hamstring) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Edwards signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs earlier in the offseason after he appeared in eight combined regular-season games with the Bills and Bucs last year. The 29-year-old safety will look to find a reserve role elsewhere.

The Panthers waived Blackshear (ankle) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Blackshear appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Panthers last season, rushing 15 times for 80 yards as a deep reserve. He also returned 17 punts for 145 yards and 31 kickoffs for 791 yards. The Panthers are currently rolling with Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne in their backfield. Jonathon Brooks (knee) is expected to miss the 2025 campaign.

The Dolphins signed Douglas to a one-year, $3 million contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Douglas turns 30 years old later this week and is coming off a 2024 season in Buffalo where he started all 15 regular-season games in which he appeared, logging 58 tackles (43 solo), five pass breakups and one forced fumble. Miami is essentially starting from scratch with its secondary this season, and Douglas figures to play a prominent role.
