Marcus Lucas

The Cowboys waived Lucas on Friday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis: Lucas performed when called upon as a receiving option in the preseason, but wasn't able to carve out a depth role in Dallas' tight end room. He'll likely need to catch on in a special-teams capacity to earn a gig elsewhere in the league.

Lucas was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday.

Analysis: Lucas signed a reserve/future contract with the 49ers in January but has not appeared in an NFL game since he entered the league in 2014. He was waived to create a roster spot for the signing of offensive lineman Wesley Johnson.

Lucas signed a reserve/future contract with the 49ers on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Analysis: Lucas entered the league in 2014 but hasn't suited up for a game yet. The 49ers are his sixth team in that span. Even if he sticks with the team until Week 1 of the 2019 season, Lucas has a ceiling as a special-teams asset since second-year tight end George Kittle is a rising star who will command work on most pass-catching situations.

Lucas was cut from the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lucas spent the first month of the season with Seattle, but he was let go in favor of Tyrone Swoopes, who has history with the organization.

The Lions released Lucas on Saturday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Lucas entered the NFL in 2014 but has yet to suit up for a game. He should be seen as a practice squad candidate.
