Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Wade will be "out for a while" due to a rib injury that he suffered during Saturday's preseason game against the Commanders, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

Wade suffered the injury on the first play of the second quarter, when he took a hit from Antonio Hamilton while hauling in a 15-yard pass. Wade spent the entire 2024 season on the Ravens' practice squad, but his injury makes it likely that he'll be part of the team's roster cuts Tuesday.

Guillory broke his clavicle during the Ravens' preseason finale against the Commanders on Saturday, and head coach John Harbaugh relayed Monday that the undrafted rookie will be "out for a while," Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Guillory suffered the injury during the third quarter of Saturday's game, finishing the contest with three catches (on five targets) for 17 yards. He was a long shot to make the Ravens' 53-man roster, but he could be a member of the team's practice squad once he is fully recovered from the injury.

Kansas City waived Zappe on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

As expected, Zappe will not be one of the quarterbacks the Chiefs keep on their final 53-man roster to start the 2025 season. He's on track to become a free agent able to sign with any team, but there's also a chance he ends up back on Kansas City's practice squad.

Head coach Mike McDaniel relayed Monday that Grant (undisclosed) is not in danger of missing the Dolphins' regular-season opener against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

The 2025 first-rounder has been working through an undisclosed issue, which prevented him from playing in the Dolphins' preseason finale against the Jaguars on Saturday. The nature of Grant's injury isn't clear, but his practice participation over the next two weeks will provide clarity on his chances of making his NFL regular-season debut in Week 1. He should see a heavy dose of rotational snaps at defensive tackle alongside presumptive starters Benito Jones and Zach Sieler.

Chism (foot/ankle) did not participate in Monday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Chism continues to work through foot and ankle injuries that he picked up during the Patriots' second preseason game against the Vikings. The undrafted rookie has impressed the Patriots' coaching staff during training camp and has a solid chance of making the 53-man roster for the start of the regular season. If he does make the cut, Chism's practice participation over the next two weeks will indicate his availability for the Patriots' Week 1 contest against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 7.

The Panthers waived Dafney on Monday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Dafney appeared in all three of the Panthers' preseason games, logging three catches (on four targets) for 32 yards. He won't be part of the Panthers' 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers he could remain in Carolina as part of the practice squad. Dafney last saw regular-season action in 2021 with the Packers, when he played in 10 games and caught two passes (on four targets) for 34 yards.

Andrews (undisclosed) missed practice Monday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

While coach John Harbaugh didn't specify why Andrews was sidelined Monday, he noted that the tight end is expected to work next week, when the Ravens begin their practice preparations ahead of Week 1. With that in mind, Andrews' status now is worth monitoring, along with that of fellow TE Isaiah Likely, who continues to deal with a foot injury that leaves his status for the regular-season opener uncertain.

The Cowboys plan to place Mafah (shoulder) on IR ahead of Week 1, though the plan is for the running back to return this season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, Mafah got banged up during the Cowboys' preseason finale, and now it appears as though the 2025 seventh-rounder is headed to IR, though not the season-ending variety. Assuming the transaction is timed as expected, Mafah would be eligible to resume practicing after missing a minimum of four games.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Alexander (knee) is "pushing" towards returning to practice ahead of the Ravens' Week 1 game against the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 7, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Alexander's practice participation during training camp has been limited due to a knee issue from the 2024 regular season, when he played with the Packers. It wouldn't be surprising to see Alexander continue to sit out of practices throughout the regular season given his injury history over the past two years, but participating in a limited capacity should be enough for him to play on a week-to-week basis. If Alexander's defensive snap count is also limited, that would open the door for T.J. Tampa, Chidobe Awuzie and Marlon Humphrey to get more looks at outside corner opposite Nate Wiggins.

The Jaguars released Wolford on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Wolford didn't get much run during the preseason, completing nine of 17 passes for 118 yards while adding four carries for 25 yards across three games. He ended the 2024 regular season as the Jaguars' practice-squad quarterback and could remain in Jacksonville in the same role.
