What happened: Galbreath, 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, was released Aug. 8 after spending the offseason competing for a roster spot. McMillan entered the league as a 2026 undrafted free agent.

Why it matters: The move gives Galbreath a late-preseason opportunity to earn a place on the 53-man roster. McMillan now enters the waiver process as final cuts approach.

By the numbers: Galbreath caught 93 passes for 1,355 yards and 12 touchdowns across 45 college games. McMillan totaled 55 tackles, five passes defensed, one sack and one interception in 55 college appearances.

What to watch: Watch Galbreath's preseason usage and whether McMillan is claimed on waivers.
