The Bengals waived Thorne on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Thorne joined the Bengals in late April as an undrafted free agent. The only preseason game he played in was against Indianapolis on Saturday, when he completed four of seven passes for 41 yards. Thorne will explore his next options assuming he clears waivers, which includes staying with the Bengals as a member of the practice squad.

The Bengals waived Owens on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Owens played in all three of the Bengals' preseason games, finishing with three catches (on five targets) for 25 yards. The undrafted rookie won't be a part of Cincinnati's 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers, he could remain with the team as a member of the practice squad.

Baker was waived by the Packers on Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Baker will once again be placed on waivers after the Packers claimed him Aug. 12 following his departure from Las Vegas. The wide receiver failed to record any stats while playing 16 offensive snaps in the Packers' 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks on Saturday. Baker will now look for another opportunity elsewhere, though he could stick around Green Bay as a member of the practice squad.

Philadelphia cut Woods on Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Woods was competing to make an NFL roster for the first time in his young career, but it just wasn't in the cards with the Eagles' stacked group of defensive backs. He'll now have to look for another opportunity with a different squad.

The Bengals waived Conley on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Conley caught on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent in May. He saw extended action during Cincinnati's preseason finale against Indianapolis on Saturday, finishing with seven carries for 28 yards and one touchdown. Conley will have the opportunity to explore his options if he clears waivers, and the Arizona product could remain with the Bengals on the practice squad.

The Bengals waived Burgess on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Burgess played in all three preseason games and finished with two catches (on five targets) for 24 yards. He won't be part of the Bengals' 53-man roster, but he was part of the team's practice squad last year and could reprise that role in 2025.

Cupp was waived by the Ravens on Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Cupp signed with the Ravens in early August after being let go by Kansas City, recording two catches for 13 catches while appearing in one game during the preseason. If the tight end clear waivers, there's a good chance he sticks around Baltimore as a member of the team's practice squad.

The Eagles waived Powell on Monday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Powell was signed by the Eagles in early May as an undrafted free agent. He had his moments during offseason practices but wasn't able to translate that into on-field success in the preseason, finishing with 10 carries for 23 yards and a touchdown while adding one catch for two yards across three games. Powell will have the opportunity to sign with another team if he clears waivers, but he could remain in Philadelphia as part of the team's practice squad.

Allen is in line to begin the 2025 regular season as the Lions' No. 2 quarterback, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Allen was in a battle with Hendon Hooker for the No. 2 slot at quarterback behind Jared Goff in Detroit, and Allen ultimately won out when Hooker was cut Monday. In Allen's last regular-season start back in 2022 with Houston, he completed 20 of 39 pass attempts for 201 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, adding two rushes for one yard.

The Commanders waived Sanders on Monday.

Sanders joined the Commanders in early August, and he finished the preseason with two catches on as many targets for 19 yards. He won't be a part of the team's 53-man roster for the start of the regular season, but Sanders could remain in Washington as part of the practice squad.
