The Commanders waived Hawkins (undisclosed) with an injury designation on Sunday.

Hawkins spent time last season on Washington's practice squad and appeared in just one game. The 26-year-old will revert to IR if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Saints placed Polk on the reserve/retired list Sunday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Polk's NFL career has come to an end after just two seasons. The 24-year-old was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2024 Draft but caught just 12 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games during his rookie campaign. He was subsequently traded to the Saints last September but missed the entire 2025 season due to a shoulder injury.

The Steelers released Savage on Sunday.

Savage was unable to stand out in Pittsburgh's crowded safety room and now is in search of another opportunity. The 2019 first-round pick had signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in March after recording 15 tackles (nine solo) across eight games with the Commanders during the 2025 campaign.

The Texans waived Hull on Sunday.

Hull is headed to waivers less than three months after signing with Houston. The 24-year-old rushed for 48 yards on 19 carries across six games with the Saints and will now look to find a new opportunity with another team.

Garrett (lower body) didn't participate in the Rams' practice Sunday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett has missed the team's last three sessions as he continues to deal with lower-body soreness. While the 29-year-old is expected to be sidelined for Monday's practice as well, head coach Sean McVay said the injury isn't serious and Garrett should be back for the next practice block.

The Texans re-signed Edwards on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Edwards is officially set to return to Houston despite having been released by the team in March. The 32-year-old has spent the past two seasons with the Texans and should serve as a depth defensive tackle once again during the upcoming campaign.

The Eagles released Graham on Sunday.

Graham's tenure in Philadelphia has come to an end despite him having re-signed with the team in March. The 2021 fifth-round pick appeared in two games for the Falcons last season and will now look to catch on with another team.

Pili missed a third consecutive training camp practice Sunday due to a lower-leg injury, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

The severity of Pili's injury is unclear, but he'll aim to return to practice before the Seahawks' preseason opener against the Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 15. He served in a rotational role on the Seahawks' defensive line last year, finishing with 12 tackles (one solo) and one forced fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games. Pili, assuming he can get healthy, will use training camp as his opportunity to solidify his backup role behind Jarran Reed, with Deven Eastern and Uso Seumalo representing Pili's main competition.

Burton (hamstring) participated in Sunday's training camp practice, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Burton pulled a hamstring during drills in Thursday's practice, but the rookie fifth-rounder was cleared to return for Sunday's session. He figures to serve as the Packers' backup center behind Sean Rhyan for the upcoming season.

The Packers activated Hadden (lower leg) from the active/PUP list Sunday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Hadden opened training camp on the PUP list while in the final stages of his recovery form a broken right tibia and fibula that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2025 season. He was given the green light to participate in Sunday's practice, and the third-year pro will now use training camp as an opportunity to earn a spot on the Packers' 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.
