Moore (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Sunday with a designation to return.

Moore suffered an ankle injury in the team's second preseason contest against the Giants on Aug. 22, and he was unable to appear in the team's preseason finale against the Falcons on Friday. The rookie fourth-round pick will now be forced to sit out the first four games of the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he'll be able to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 11. In Moore's absence, Ronnie Harrison (hamstring) and Kyle Louis are candidates to see an increase in workload as reserve options at outside linebacker.

Baker (undisclosed) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Dolphins on Sunday.

Baker suffered an undisclosed injury in July, and he was sidelined for the entirety of training camp and the preseason. Head coach Jeff Hafley stated in late July that the cornerback will likely be out until midseason, and the earliest he can return from the reserve/PUP list is Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 11.

Demercado was claimed off waivers by the Cowboys on Monday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

In the wake of Sunday's cut-down day, Dallas rostered just two running backs and a fullback on its active roster: Javonte Williams, Malik Davis and Hunter Luepke. With the addition of Demercado, the team gains an experienced hand who spent the first three seasons of his career with the Cardinals, averaging 6.5 YPC on his 126 carries to date.

Grant (leg) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Sunday with a designation to return.

Grant sustained a leg injury in mid-August, and he will now be sidelined for at least four games to open the regular season while on IR. In his absence, Jordan Phillips and Zach Sieler (undisclosed) will likely handle the lion's share of the workload at defensive tackle for Miami.

Henry was waived by the Commanders on Sunday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Henry signed with Washington as an undrafted free agent in April, and he turned 26 carries into 105 yards and a touchdown while reeling in two of three targets for six yards over three preseason games. If the running back goes unclaimed on waivers, there's a strong chance he sticks around as a member of the Commanders' practice squad.

Matlock (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Chargers on Sunday with a designation to return.

Matlock caught both of his targets for five yards during the preseason, but he appears to have suffered an undisclosed injury at some point along the way. The fullback will now be sidelined for at least four contests to open the 2026 campaign, and the earliest he could make his regular-season debut is in Week 5 against the Broncos on Oct. 11.

Runyon (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Raiders on Sunday with a designation to return.

Runyon did not play in the preseason, and he's dealing with an undisclosed injury ahead of the 2026 campaign. The tight end will be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season, and the earliest he could return to action is Week 5 versus the Patriots on Oct. 11. Runyon was primarily as a special-teams asset in 2025, so his absence won't carry much of an impact on offense.

Norman-Lott (knee) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Chiefs on Sunday.

Norman-Lott was placed on the active/PUP list ahead of training camp, and he did not appear in a preseason game as he continues to recover from a torn ACL that he suffered in October. The defensive lineman will now be forced to miss at least four contests to begin the regular season, and in his absence, rookie first-rounder Peter Woods will handle the primary reserve role at defensive tackle behind Chris Jones and Khyiris Tonga.

Holiday (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Chiefs on Sunday.

Holiday is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and he did not play during the preseason. The wide receiver will now be forced to miss the entire 2026 campaign while on IR, unless he is able to reach an injury settlement with Kansas City.

Berrios is re-signing with the Giants' practice squad, and there's an expectation that he'll play a role Week 1, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Berrios was among the Giants' notable cuts Sunday as the team rolled with just five wide receivers on its initial active roster. Now, front offices across the NFL are constructing practice squads, with Berrios expected to end up back in New York. He'll need to be elevated or signed off the practice squad outright to be available for the season opener against the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13, at which point he'd likely take on a bit role in the offense.
