Pili (undisclosed) is uncertain to play in Week 1 versus the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Pili did not play in Seattle's preseason finale against the Packers on Saturday, an absence now understood to be related to an undisclosed injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald explained Monday that the defensive lineman may not be available for Week 1.

Rice is slated to be waived by the Chargers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Buechele is expected to be waived by the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Buechele will hit the open market after completing 36 of 46 passes for 380 yards and a touchdown over three preseason games with Buffalo. The quarterback will likely find another opportunity in the near future, and he could stick around with the Bills' practice squad in 2025.
