Ismail was waived by the Raiders on Monday.

Ismail signed with the Raiders in April after the spending the 2024 campaign as a member of the Ravens' practice squad. The tight end caught four passes for 42 yards over two preseason contests with Las Vegas. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, Ismail's next opportunity may be with the Raiders' practice squad.

Johnson was released by the Raiders on Monday.

Johnson signed with Las Vegas in May after appearing in nine regular-season games with the Bears in 2024. The wide receiver secured five catches for 42 yards while playing in all of the Raiders' preseason contests. Johnson will likely find a new opportunity in the near future, though he may have to settle for a practice-squad spot ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Dorsett was released by the Raiders on Monday.

Dorsett signed with Las Vegas in July, recording three catches for 36 yards while appearing in one preseason game with the team. The wide receiver spent a substantial chunk of the 2024 campaign with the Falcons' practice squad, and he'll likely garner a similar opportunity with another team ahead of the 2025 season.

Callaway was released by the Raiders on Monday.

Callaway signed with Las Vegas on Aug. 11 after being let go by the 49ers, and he caught one pass for eight yards in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals. The wide receiver will likely find a practice-squad opportunity in the near future.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Jackson (lower body) is on track to play in Week 1 at Indianapolis, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Jackson picked up a lower-body injury during training camp earlier in August, but it seems as though he's recovered well since then. His participation at practice ahead of the start of the regular season will be worth monitoring, especially given Miami's depth at offensive line is suspect to begin 2025.

Watson (knee) is in line to be waived after reaching an injury settlement with the Broncos, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Watson suffered a PCL strain in the team's preseason finale against the Saints on Saturday, and he will now be let go instead of being placed on injured reserve. The running back will rehab the injury and attempt to pass a physical and sign elsewhere in 2025.

Tampa Bay cut Jackson on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Jackson led the Buccaneers in tackles over their three preseason games, but it wasn't enough to make their final 53-man roster for 2025. He'll be free to sign with any team, but there's also a chance he ends up back with Tampa Bay's practice squad.

Chicago placed Frazier (undisclosed) on its reserve/non-football injury list Monday.

It's not clear at this point what happened to Frazier, but he now won't be eligible to suit up for the Bears until Week 5 at Washington. Until then, his absence could open up more opportunities at cornerback for Josh Blackwell.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that he expects Jackson (tailbone/blood clots) to play in Week 1 versus the Texans, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Jackson has been working with Rams trainers since June when he was diagnosed with blood clots, and he's apparently progressed well in his recovery. He is expected to be back participating in team drills next Monday ahead of the Rams' season opener, and if McVay's optimism is well-founded, there's a good chance Jackson starts at left tackle in Week 1.

Mabry was waived from injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement with the Panthers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mabry was placed on IR by Carolina on Aug. 18 with an undisclosed injury, which would have sidelined him for the entire season. Now that he's a free agent, the tight end can pass a physical and sign elsewhere at any point and play in 2025.
