Overview

• Teams must trim to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Aug. 26, with waiver claims processed by noon ET on Aug. 27 before practice squads are finalized.
• The Bears placed CB Zah Frazier on Reserve/NFI and put CB Terell Smith on season-ending IR, released Tre Flowers and Royce Freeman, and reduced the roster to 73.
• Cleveland waived QB Tyler Huntley as the Browns align to keep Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders on the initial 53.
• Tampa Bay waived rookie safety Shilo Sanders less than a day after his ejection for throwing a punch, a move coach Todd Bowles called inexcusable.
• Early actions elsewhere included the Rams releasing LB Tony Fields II and waiving 10 players, the Falcons releasing DL Morgan Fox, the Jets cutting LB Jamin Davis, and the Eagles trading for Sam Howell before moving on from Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
