The Chargers waived Bradley on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Bradley was competing for a depth role after joining the team as an undrafted free agent but was ultimately unable to earn a roster spot. The 22-year-old will now look to catch on with another team.

Richardson was waived by the Bears on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

The wide receiver signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2025, got waived late in training camp, joined the practice squad for the regular season and dressed for one regular-season game. Richardson might end up on the practice squad again after falling short of the 53-man roster on a team with several options for depth receiver spots.

The Chiefs waived Watson on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Watson was competing for a depth role behind Travis Kelce but wasn't impressive enough to earn a roster spot. The 23-year-old spent last season on Kansas City's practice squad and could be brought back once again if he clears waivers.

The Colts cut Stick on Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Stick joined the team in June but didn't stand out enough to earn a roster spot. The 30-year-old spent the 2025 campaign with the Falcons but didn't appear in any games and will now look for a new opportunity with another team.

Thomas was released by the Vikings on Sunday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The cornerback saw action on 370 special-teams snaps a year ago, making 19 of his 23 tackles on the third unit, and then signed a two-year, $4.6-million extension in March. Thomas only found himself on the outside looking in during training camp after undrafted rookie safety Jacob Thomas (ankle) played well, convincing the team to place the emphasis on safeties over corners in final cutdowns. Thomas has played on more than 100 special-teams snaps in all eight of his NFL seasons, and he should be able to find another home in the league for the 2026 campaign.

Valdes-Scantling was released by the Cowboys on Sunday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Valdes-Scantling was unable to secure a depth role in Dallas' top-heavy wide receiver room. With 116 games of regular-season NFL experience under his belt, plus 12 playoff contests, MVS could appeal to another team in search of a veteran presence that can stretch the field at wide receiver.

The Vikings waived Lang on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Lang was competing for a depth role with Minnesota but was unable to impress enough to earn a roster spot. The 24-year-old spent time with both the Patriots and Seahawks last season and will now look to catch on with another team.

Levis was waived by the Titans on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of The Ringer reports.

Levis failed to win the backup quarterback spot over Mitchell Trubisky (biceps). Levis, a 2023 second-round pick of the Titans, started 21 regular-season games across his first two campaigns before missing all of 2025 due to a shoulder injury. Levis played throughout the recently concluded preseason, showing that he has regained health. He'll likely have to settle for a practice-squad spot somewhere, though it's possible a team that's unhappy with its current backup quarterback puts in a claim for Levis.

The Texans waived Byrd (ankle) with an injury designation Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Byrd was already on the roster bubble before suffering an ankle injury during Friday's preseason loss to the Panthers. The 2024 seventh-round pick will now either get picked up by another team or perhaps get moved to IR with the Texans.

Tinsley was waived by the Bengals on Sunday, Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati reports.

The wide receiver caught eight passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals in 2025. He also played on 123 special-teams snaps and agreed to a one-year extension with the team in January, but he fell short of the 53-man roster for 2026 after a competition with rookie fourth-round pick Colbie Young and former Canadian Football League player Dohnte Meyers. Tinsley has NFL experience and could find a home on the practice squad of either Cincinnati or another team.
