The 49ers released Herbert on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Herbert spent most of the offseason on the open market before signing with the 49ers in early August due to the team's multiple injuries in the backfield. He played 31 snaps (24 on offense, seven on special teams) during the 49ers' 19-13 preseason loss to the Titans on Thursday, when he turned six carries into 18 yards and caught both of his targets for 35 yards while adding a tackle on a kickoff. Herbert will once again be a free agent and look to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth.

Collins (concussion) and the Falcons agreed on a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Collins was let go by the Giants on Friday after reaching an injury settlement with the team following a concussion he suffered at training camp. The wide receiver will now have a chance to compete for a practice-squad spot with Atlanta in 2026.

The Seahawks waived Jones on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Jones joined the Seahawks' training camp roster in early August and played in the team's preseason opener against the Cowboys, when he logged 10 snaps (one on offense, nine on special teams) and logged tackle and one carry for three yards. Assuming he clears waivers, Jones will look to join a team in need of backfield depth and a contributor on special teams.

Sweat (hamstring) is participating in practice after being activated off the active/non-football injury list Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The defensive tackle will remain "on a pitch count this week as he ramps up," per Cimini. Sweat was placed on the NFI list in late July, but his hamstring injury was never considered serious, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. The former Titan is expected to start on New York's defensive line after recording 34 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in 12 regular-season games last season.

Humphrey (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Humphrey was sidelined for a couple practices while nursing a minor undisclosed injury, but the 30-year-old was able to return to the field Monday. The cornerback is entering his 10th season in Baltimore, and he is expected to start opposite of Nate Wiggins in 2026.

Tillman (undisclosed) did not participate at the Browns practice Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Tillman was unable to practice for a second straight day as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old is battling for his spot as a top reserve option in the wide receiver room with Cleveland this season, and his status for Saturday's preseason contest against the Bills may now be coming into question.

Conner was waived by the Jaguars on Monday.

The tight end signed with the Jaguars in April as an undrafted free agent after three collegiate seasons at Troy. Conner caught 31 passes for 397 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in his final college season last year, and he faced an uphill battle to make Jacksonville's 53-man roster.

The Seahawks waived Harden on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Harden joined the Seahawks on Aug. 5, two days after being let go by the Browns. He played in Seattle's preseason opener against Dallas on Saturday, when he logged 12 snaps (nine on offense, three on special teams) and turned two carries into one yard while recovering a fumble on a punt. Harden -- an undrafted rookie out of SMU -- will look to catch on with a team in need of a running back who can also contribute on special teams.

Hicks and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Hicks has spent the entirety of the offseason as a free agent, but he has now found an opportunity before the end of the preseason. The wide receiver will look to make his preseason debut with Seattle on Sunday night against the Titans.

Ali has an undisclosed injury that forced him to miss the Ravens' preseason opener Saturday against the Eagles, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The running back also had to sit for most of the practice week leading up to that contest, per Hensley. Ali recorded 763 kickoff-return yards in 2025, and if he can return soon enough, he should be in line to play a similar role this season. The fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft remains third on the running back depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.
