Cooper is famous for testing positive for THG in the Balco scandal.

The 2024 third-round pick appeared in 22 games for Cincinnati during his two years with the team. Jackson oddly requested a trade after just one season in Cincy, though nothing ever materialized. Now he gets the chance to find a team that will give him more playing time. Jackson notched one sack as a rookie and did not record a sack or TFL in nine games last year.

It’s a surprising release after Wooden was acquired in a 1-for-1 player swap with the Packers in March, but he evidently did not fit the system as expected. A 16-game starter for the Pack last season, Wooden could be a potential Monday waiver claim. If not, he should quickly land on someone’s practice squad, perhaps Indy’s.

The news was first reported by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. Jones was a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in the 2023 NFL Draft. The 27-year-old receiver also served as the Bengals’ primary punt and kick returner last year. A solid special teamer, Jones’ next stop is likely on a practice squad somewhere.

The rookie defensive tackle could end up returning to the Ravens’ roster via the practice squad. He was drafted with the 250th overall pick this year.

Morris was in the final year of his rookie deal and came over in a June trade from the Chiefs. Apparently the Falcons weren’t enamored with what they saw in training camp.

Scott signed his ERFA tender with Minnesota this offseason but was ultimately beaten out for the RB3 job by rookie Demond Claiborne. He is a candidate to sign with the Vikings’ practice squad after rosters settle. Claiborne is officially a name to know in deeper leagues, though he remains parked behind Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones for now.

The veteran third-down back would still seem to be a fit for this roster and could be brought back after the 53-man cutdown or kept as a practice-squad elevation early in the season. If not, Mike Washington will probably get more time early.

The Browns also reportedly want to keep rookie Taylen Green, and it’s hard to imagine them keeping four quarterbacks on the roster, so something has to give. Our money is on the Browns ultimately trading Gabriel for a late-round pick. Gabriel looked good in his final preseason outing, throwing for 186 yards and three scores. That alone might be enough for a team to give him a shot at a backup job this year.

The move frees up $4.75 million in cap space. Harrison was an evidently unsuccessful 2025 free agent poach from arch-rival Baltimore. He made 11 2025 appearances, including nine starts, but registered zero sacks. Now 28 years old, Harrison’s experience could nevertheless earn him some looks on the workout circuit.

Stick struggled in four starts, all losses, with the Chargers in 2023 and hasn’t seen a regular season snap since. He was behind Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson on the Colts’ depth chart before being released.
