Nathan Voorhis: Waived with injury designation
Voorhis (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Jets on Sunday.
Voorhis recorded two total tackles over two preseason contests with New York after signing with the team in May as an undrafted free agent. The defensive lineman is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and if he goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve with the Jets.

Taylen Green QB | CLE
Browns' Taylen Green: Set to play Thursday
Green is set to play in Thursday night's preseason finale against the Patriots, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The sixth-round rookie out of Arkansas has yet to see preseason action. It appears Dillon Gabriel will start Thursday's game, but Green will see the field later on. If the Browns plan to split the halves between the two quarterbacks, Thursday's game could be a battle for a roster spot. The team will be announcing Monday whether Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders will be starting the regular season, meaning that if it plans to keep three quarterbacks, then Gabriel or Green will not survive Aug. 30.

Laith Marjan: Cut loose by Pittsburgh
Marjan was waived by the Steelers on Sunday, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.
Marjan went 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts while missing a 44-yard field-goal try over two preseason games with the Steelers before being let go. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, there's a good chance he remains with Pittsburgh as a member of the team's practice squad.

Sam Scott RB | NYJ
Sam Scott: Waived/injured by New York
The Jets waived/injured Scott (undisclosed) on Sunday.
Scott will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears, will revert to the Jets' injured reserve list. If he reverts to IR, the undrafted free agent out of Wyoming will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Scott has also played snaps at linebacker, so if he desires a shot at free agency, he could provide a versatile special teams presence for any team in need.

Caullin Lacy: Let go by New York
The Jets waived/injured Lacy (undisclosed) on Sunday.
The undrafted free agent out of Louisville will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will revert to the Jets' injured reserve list. If Lacy reverts to IR, he will miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Dominic Richardson RB | NYJ
Jets' Dominic Richardson: Signs with New York
The Jets signed Richardson to a contract Sunday.
Richardson was waived by the Titans last Wednesday and went unclaimed. The running back likely caught on with the Jets due to the injuries to Breece Hall (groin) and Isaiah Davis (knee). Richardson is likely just a preseason depth signing and will not have much sticking power with the team past August.

Dae'Quan Wright TE | CLE
Dae'Quan Wright: Waived, could return to college
Wright was waived by the Browns on Sunday, and the Ole Miss product could return to college if he clears waivers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Wright is one of several rookies who are exploring returning to college after being deemed eligible to return for a fifth year. He has an agreement in place to play at LSU in 2026, but that will only happen if does not get claimed off waivers by another NFL team. Wright could be the first of many players to rejoin the college ranks after catching on with an NFL team during the offseason.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Downplays preseason absence
McCaffrey (undisclosed) said Sunday that he always planned to take a break during training camp and then "ramp back up," Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
McCaffrey returned to practice and participated in team drills Sunday after he had been sitting out with general "tightness" of late. The 30-year-old running back added Sunday that the media attention around his absence was a "firestorm" and that his plan all along was 8-to-10 practices to ramp up, a break and then another ramp up in advance of Week 1, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. McCaffrey recorded a career-high 311 carries for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season games last year. San Francisco will open the 2026 campaign versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Dillon Gabriel QB | CLE
Browns' Dillon Gabriel: Will start preseason finale
Gabriel will start at quarterback in Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Gabriel has seen limited action during the preseason, but with fellow signal-callers Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders set to sit out Thursday -- per the same source -- Gabriel will get an extended look. One of the other quarterbacks is expected to be announced as Cleveland's starter Monday, and Gabriel will presumably open the regular season behind both.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: May ditch red jersey this week
Giants coach John Harbaugh said Sunday that Nabers (knee) could be out of his red non-contact jersey at some point this week, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Harbaugh added that they will see how Nabers feels Monday and that it wasn't a necessity for him to shed the non-contact jersey this week since the regular-season opener is still three weeks away, per Barnes. The 23-year-old returned to team sessions last Monday, but he still sat out the joint practice with the Dolphins ahead of Saturday's 26-3 preseason win. Whether Nabers sheds the non-contact jersey will be a key checkpoint for his Week 1 readiness, but Harbaugh's comments suggest the Giants still are prioritizing his knee recovery timeline. New York will open its regular season versus the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13.
