The Rams waived Villari on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Villari joined Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in late April and played in all three of the team's preseason games, catching one of two targets for 24 yards. The Syracuse product has intriguing versatility, as he logged some time as a quarterback and also was used often as a rusher during college. Villari is a candidate to settle in with the Rams' practice squad if he goes through waivers unclaimed.

The Rams waived Jones on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones signed with Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in late April and stuck with the organization throughout the preseason. However, the Rams have a crowded tight-end room, so Jones was never expected to make the roster cut.

The Rams waived Edwards on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Edwards spent all of last season on Los Angeles' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with the organization in late January. He appeared in all three of the team's preseason contests, catching six of eight targets for 48 yards. Edwards won't make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's a candidate to return to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Steelers waived Wentz on Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Wentz initially signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in May but was cut in June and subsequently latched on with Pittsburgh. The Kansas product played in all three of the Steelers' preseason games but didn't do much, catching one of four targets for nine yards. Wentz could get a spot on the Steelers' practice squad in the likely scenario that he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The 49ers waived Martinez on Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Martinez spent most of last season on San Francisco's practice squad and appeared in one regular-season contest, taking one snap on a kneel-down. He then signed a reserve/future contract in January and entered training camp looking to secure the team's No. 3 QB role, but that now appears set to go to Kurtis Rourke (ribs). Martinez saw plenty of action during the preseason slate but didn't help his cause, as he completed only 36 of 68 pass attempts for 346 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing three times for eight yards.

The Cowboys are cutting Mims, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Before linking up with the Cowboys in June, Mims was out of the NFL for nearly two full years, spending time with St. Louis and Dallas of the UFL in the meantime. He didn't make much of an impact through three preseason games (one catch for minus-1 yard on one target), and he now awaits another chance in pro football.

The Ravens are waiving Pezza, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Pezza went undrafted back in April but landed with Baltimore in May as a rookie free agent. He proceded to haul in seven of eight targets for 69 yards across three preseason contests before getting cut. Considering his impact in those games, though, Pezza may garner some interest as teams begin to construct practice squads in the coming days.

The Texans are slated to waive Pryor, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pryor spent much of last season on Houston's practice squad, then signed a reserve/future deal with the team in January. He saw action in all three of the team's preseason contests and caught two of five targets for 19 yards. Pryor is a candidate to return to the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Ravens are waiving Braham, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

An undrafted rookie signing of Baltimore back in May, Braham officially logged 20 offensive snaps across three preseason games, but he wasn't targeted and otherwise didn't make any marks in box scores. If he goes through waivers unclaimed, he could be in line to land on a team's practice squad.

The Texans are set to waive Vaughn, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Vaughn's time with the Texans was brief, as he signed a contract with the team less than a week ago. In his only preseason appearance, he rushed 12 times for 36 yards and caught both of his targets for six yards. Vaughn is a candidate to catch on with Houston's practice squad if he goes through waivers unclaimed.
