The Raiders cut Okwuegbunam on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Okwuegbunam spent the entire 2025 season with the Raiders' practice squad. The tight end participated in all three 2026 preseason contests, catching three of his five targets for 15 yards. If the 28-year-old clears waivers, he will likely end up on the Raiders' practice squad for another season.

The Saints waived Moreno-Cropper on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Moreno-Cropper signed with the Saints in mid-June. The wide receiver was competing for a special-teams role and could not do quite enough to earn the nod over other receivers such as Barion Brown. Moreno-Cropper will now be placed on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed will become a free agent able to sign with any team.

The Chiefs cut Ogbah on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ogbah signed with the team earlier this month to compete for a depth role but was ultimately unable to catch on. The 32-year-old spent the 2025 season with the Jaguars, recording 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and will now look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

The Chiefs waived De Jesus on Sunday, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

De Jesus played in all three preseason contests, hauling in three passes for 24 yards. The wide receiver was ultimately unable to make the 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers, there is a possibility he joins the Chiefs' practice squad for the beginning of the regular season.

Brown was cut by the Colts on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown was facing an uphill battle to make the roster as he had just signed with the team earlier this month. The 32-year-old spent last season with the Cardinals, catching both of his targets for one yard across seven games. Brown will now look to catch on with another team.

The Colts waived Bentley on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

Bentley was competing for a depth role behind Jonathan Taylor but was unable to earn a spot on the roster. The 2025 undrafted free agent spent the majority of last season on Indianapolis' practice squad, appearing in just one game and logging a lone rush attempt for no gain. Bentley could be brought back to the team's practice squad should he go unclaimed on waivers.

Davis remains as the top reserve running back in Dallas behind starter Javonte Williams following the reported cuts of Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

In two appearances during exhibition season, Davis churned out 68 yards on 12 carries, which was good for 5.7 YPC. Both his play in the preseason and work on the practice field had made him the favorite for the Cowboys' direct backup role, and he'll now look to build upon a 2025 campaign in which he recorded 52 rushes for 250 yards (4.8 YPC) and two TDs in 10 regular-season games.

The Bengals waived Jones on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

Jones was competing to serve as the team's primary return specialist but ended up losing out on the role. The 2023 fourth-round pick failed to haul in his only target across 14 games with Cincinnati last season but managed to amass 1,084 kick-return yards and returned one kickoff for a touchdown. He will now look to catch on with another team.

Blue is being waived by the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dallas reportedly has moved on from two RBs on cut-down day, the other being Phil Mafah. The moves indicate that Malik Davis has claimed the No. 2 role behind starter Javonte Williams, though one or both of Blue and Mafah could wind up back on the team's practice squad if they clear waivers.

With both Josh Jacobs (groin) landing on the Commissioner's Exempt List and Kaleb Johnson being acquired by the Packers on Sunday, Lloyd now finds himself in a reconfigured Packers backfield.

Lloyd has appeared in just one regular-season game since being selected by the Packers in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but with Jacobs out of action for the time being Lloyd is now the top available option on the depth chart. Both Johnson and Chris Brooks -- who excels at pass blocking -- figure to factor into the mix sans Jacobs, but with Johnson just joining the team, Lloyd now finds himself as the favorite to pick up carries.
