The Ravens waived Longerbeam on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Longerbeam was drafted in the sixth round last year but ended up missing the entirety of his rookie season due to a knee injury suffered in the preseason. The 25-year-old was not impressive enough this offseason to earn a roster spot but could land on the team's practice squad should he go unclaimed on waivers.

The Eagles waived Wilson on Saturday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Wilson signed with the Eagles in early June as a depth addition to the team's defensive line. The undrafted free agent out of East Carolina was unable to break through the significant depth the team already has and will now be subject to waivers through Monday. If the 25-year-old remains unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any franchise's 53-man roster or practice squad.

The Panthers released Chisena (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Chisena had reverted to injured reserve late last month after picking up an injury in practice, but his time in Carolina has now come to an end. The 29-year-old will now look to get healthy and catch on with another team.

The Panthers waived Cooks on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Cooks had signed with the team earlier this month but was unable to impress enough to earn a spot on the roster. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, the 27-year-old could be a candidate to land on Carolina's practice squad.

Kamara (knee) will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara suffered a knee injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars. Once the MRI comes back, the team will likely make a decision on whether or not Kamara will have a shot to return this season, or if he will be placed on season-ending injured reserve.

The Panthers waived Taylor on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Taylor had just signed with the team earlier this month but is now headed to waivers. The 23-year-old could be a candidate to land on Carolina's practice squad should he go unclaimed on waivers.

The Panthers waived/injured Hayes (undisclosed) on Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Hayes did not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Texans, likely due to injury. The offensive tackle will now be subject to waivers through Monday. If Hayes goes unclaimed, he will revert to the Panthers' injured reserve list. If the 26-year-old does revert to IR, he will remain there for the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Okereke is signing a contract with the Panthers, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Okereke spent the past three seasons with the Giants and is coming off a campaign in which he racked up 143 tackles (78 solo). If fellow linebacker Devin Lloyd (knee) cannot play in Week 1 against the Bears, Okereke could step into a starting linebacker spot, but he will bolster Carolina's defense one way or another.

The Eagles waived Steele on Saturday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Steele signed a future deal with the Eagles in January. The running back played in all three preseason games for the team, logging 21 rush attempts for 59 yards as well as 14 receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old may not have made the 53-man roster, but if he clears Monday's waiver period without being claimed, there is a strong chance he will end up back with the Eagles on the practice squad.

The Patriots waived Luketa on Saturday, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Luketa signed with the Patriots in March. The linebacker spent three years with the Cardinals, playing in 31 regular-season games between 2022 and 2024 before spending much of the 2025 season with the Rams' practice squad. Luketa will now be placed on waivers through Monday due to Sunday's cutdown day. If the 27-year-old remains unclaimed, he will become a free agent able to sign with any organization's 53-man roster or practice squad.
