Williams rushed eight times for 28 yards and brought in his only target for three yards in the Buccaneers' 23-19 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday night. He also returned three kickoffs for 108 yards.

Williams put forth a solid case in his final bid for a spot on the 53-man roster, particularly with his work as a returner. The LSU product's ability to contribute on special teams could give him some leverage in the coaching staff's eyes, but come the regular season, Williams will find touches from scrimmage hard to come by as long as the top trio of Bucky Irving, Rachaad White (groin) and Sean Tucker is healthy.

Fotu (foot) recorded three total tackles (zero solo) in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals.

Fotu was able to play for the first time during the preseason after nursing a right foot injury for a series of weeks. The defensive tackle logged 16 defensive snaps in the contest, and he appears to be a full go ahead of the Raiders' regular-season opener Sept. 7 on the road versus the Patriots.

Cappa (rib) was active for Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals.

Cappa returned to action for the first time during the preseason, playing 12 offensive snaps in the contest. The offensive guard appears to have moved past his rib injury, and he's all set to operate as a top reserve option with Las Vegas in 2025.

Robbins (illness) was active for the Bills' 23-19 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Robbins was under the weather ahead of the contest, but he was ultimately able to tough it out and play. The 26-year-old did not punt in the contest, but he was able to operate as the holder on six separate field-goal and extra-point attempts.

Hardy (shoulder) recorded four total tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 23-19 preseason win over the Buccaneers.

Hardy returned to action after suffering a shoulder injury in the Bills' preseason opener against the Giants. The cornerback played all 57 of the team's defensive snaps in the contest and also added six snaps with the special-teams unit. Hardy remains an unlikely candidate to stick around the initial 53-man roster in Buffalo, but he certainly could join the team's practice squad in 2025.

Campbell (knee) compiled four total tackles (three solo) in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Campbell made his return to action after missing some time with a knee injury, logging 24 snaps with the defense and nine snaps on special teams. Now healthy, the 30-year-old is all set to enter the 2025 campaign as the top reserve option behind starter Minkah Fitzpatrick at free safety.

Abraham was waived by the Broncos on Sunday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Abraham signed with Denver in mid-August as a depth option in the secondary, but he failed to record any stats during the preseason. The cornerback has yet to make his professional debut after being selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Colts, and he may now look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Spears (ankle) remained in a walking boot at practice Friday, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports.

Spears suffered a right high-ankle sprain in the Titans' preseason opener against the Buccaneers on Aug. 9, and he hasn't returned to practice yet. The running back has not been placed on the active/PUP list, so there's a belief that he will be able to return to action somewhere near the beginning of the regular season, but he appears unlikely to be ready to go for the team's opener Sunday, Sept. 7 in Denver. If Spears is unavailable against the Broncos, Julius Chestnut seems to be the top candidate to operate as the No. 2 option in the backfield behind starter Tony Pollard.

Brewer played 17 snaps in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars on Saturday.

Brewer suffered a soft tissue injury in his right leg at the start of training camp and was limited to individual work on the sideline. His appearance in Saturday's final preseason game suggests he is past the issue and should be available as Miami's starting center for a Week 1 matchup against the Colts.

Benton is dealing with an upper-body injury, placing some doubt on his availability for Week 1, Chris Halicke of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

Benton appears to have picked up an upper-body injury during Thursday's 19-10 preseason win over the Panthers. He played nine defensive snaps in the contest, failing to record any stats. Rookie Derrick Harmon (knee) also suffered an injury in the game, so the Steelers could be without two interior defensive linemen in their regular-season opener Sept. 7 versus the Jets.
