Today’s minor moves:
Arizona Cardinals
- Waived: RB Jermar Jefferson
Cincinnati Bengals
- Signed to active roster: CB Jalen Davis
- Placed on IR: LB Brian Asamoah
Detroit Lions
- Claimed off waivers (from Dolphins): TE Hayden Rucci

- Waived: WR Austin Trammell
New England Patriots
- Elevated: OL Brenden Jaimes, DT Jeremiah Pharms
New York Giants
- Signed to active roster: LB Tomon Fox
- Elevated: LB Swayze Bozeman, WR Dalen Cambre
The Lions continue to work through their tight end depth with Sam LaPorta done for the season. The team’s first move today was claiming Hayden Rucci, who was waived by the Dolphins on Saturday. A former UDFA out of Wisconsin, Rucci spent much of the 2024 and 2025 campaigns in Miami. He got into four games with the organization this season, with the majority of his snaps coming on special teams.
The Lions also welcomed Shane Zylstra back to practice today. The tight end has been out since Week 2, when he suffered an ankle injury while blocking on a punt return. The veteran has gotten into 31 games with the Lions since the 2021 season, hauling in 15 catches for 116 yards and four touchdowns.
Otherwise, the Lions placed center Frank Ragnow back on the reserve/retired list after the veteran failed his physical.
NFL Minor Transactions: 11/27/25
Happy Thanksgiving! Here are the holiday’s minor NFL transactions and some standard gameday elevations for today’s night game and tomorrow’s Black Friday game:
Atlanta Falcons
- Waived: OLB Khalid Kareem
Baltimore Ravens
- Elevated: DE Carl Lawson, LB Chandler Martin
Chicago Bears
- Elevated: OL Jordan McFadden, LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin
- Placed on IR: G Luke Newman
- Waived: RB Brittain Brown
Cincinnati Bengals
- Elevated: RB Gary Brightwell, CB Jalen Davis
Philadelphia Eagles
- Elevated: OLB Patrick Johnson, S Andre’ Sam
- Reverted to season-ending IR: G Willie Lampkin
Newman and Brown were removed from the Bears’ 53-man roster as corresponding moves to make room for their two activations off injured reserve today.
Martin is being called up as a standard gameday practice squad elevation for the third time this year. If the Ravens would like him to play in any more games after this week, they’ll need to sign him to the 53-man roster.
Lampkin was designated to return from IR back on November 6, and his 21-day practice squad window has come and gone without an activation by the Eagles. The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina will spend the rest of his rookie season on IR, as a result of not being activated.
Bengals Activate Joe Burrow From IR
Joe Burrow will indeed return before December. Despite the Bengals’ swoon, they are activating their star quarterback from IR, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport confirms.
This moves Burrow in place to face the Ravens in what looms as a crucial divisional tilt — though, the game is not exactly pivotal for the Bengals at this point. While Baltimore and Pittsburgh are vying for the AFC North crown, Cincinnati has fallen to 3-8. Burrow’s latest injury, along with another woeful defensive effort, has buried the Bengals. With Cincy poised to miss the playoffs for a third straight season, questions about whether Burrow should return from his turf toe malady are valid. But he is coming back anyway.
Burrow returned to practice November 10, and while Week 14 initially loomed as his most likely return date, the Bengals have seen enough from their centerpiece player to pull the trigger without waiting for a post-Thanksgiving mini-bye. Considering Burrow’s extensive injury history and Cincinnati’s place in the AFC standings, this is a strange decision. But such a move clearly points to team and player being comfortable with this return.
The Bengals have lost four straight since their Joe Flacco-guided upset win over the Steelers. Pittsburgh prevailed in the rematch, with Cincy losses to Chicago, New England and the Jets also commencing. For all intents and purposes, the Bengals are out of the playoff race. Yet, they will redeploy probably the most important player in franchise history with six games remaining.
Seeing his rookie season marred by an ACL tear and his 2023 campaign end early due to wrist surgery, Burrow has already undergone a toe procedure after going down in Week 2 of this season. While it would seem risky for all parties to reinstall Burrow with little at stake now, a recent report indicated the team would proceed in this direction regardless of record.
Joining Chad Pennington as a two-time Comeback Player of the Year, Burrow delivered standout seasons in each of his three healthy NFL slates. He powered the Bengals to Super Bowl LVI upon returning from the ACL tear and then nearly piloted a title defense in 2022. Last season, Burrow put up MVP-caliber numbers — only to see the Bengals’ defensive struggles render that showing moot. The Bengals have Burrow signed through the 2029 season, but they have already seen their QB wield tremendous influence in the building. Burrow’s push to see Tee Higgins extended succeeded, and it will be interesting to learn if the sixth-year passer aggressively lobbied to return to action rather than being shut down.
This season is all but certain to mark a rare occurrence of a superstar quarterback missing the playoffs in three straight seasons. Though, Burrow’s play has little to do with Cincy’s struggles since the 2022 AFC championship game. This is also Burrow’s final season in his 20s; the 2020 No. 1 overall pick will turn 30 late in the 2026 season.
Burrow having missed 22 games due to injury as a pro, along with battling some summer attendance issues for health reasons, has made him an unreliable NFL great. The end of this season could at least provide some positive momentum for the standout passer, though it would also not surprise to see the Bengals reassess this situation if more losses ensued.
The former Heisman winner led the NFL with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns last season. The Bengals finished 9-8 despite All-Pro seasons from Ja’Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson. A 25th-ranked defense — which keyed Lou Anarumo‘s firing — held Burrow back; the Bengals’ first Al Golden-led defense ranks 32nd. Chase will return from his one-game suspension, but Higgins will miss Week 13 due to a concussion. Not practicing again this week, Hendrickson has not played since October because of a hip injury.
For the time being at least, this will both end Flacco’s stay atop Cincinnati’s QB depth chart and inject an interesting wild card into the AFC playoff proceedings. Flacco has played fairly well since being acquired via trade, but the team’s plan of obtaining Flacco to keep its playoff hopes afloat failed. The team is 1-5 in Flacco starts. The Bengals are done with their Steelers matchups but still face the Ravens twice. They also match up with the Bills next week. Burrow certainly will give the struggling team a better chance of pulling off upsets in those games, but the Pro Bowler’s health will be the key element in this equation from a Bengals perspective.
NFL Minor Transactions: 11/26/25
Here are Wednesday’s minor moves and some standard gameday practice squad elevations for the annual Thanksgiving slate of games:
Arizona Cardinals
- Opened practice window: T Christian Jones
Cincinnati Bengals
- Activated from IR: S Daijahn Anthony
- Placed on IR: CB Marco Wilson
Dallas Cowboys
- Elevated: CB Corey Ballentine
Green Bay Packers
- Signed to active roster: WR Will Sheppard
- Elevated: LB Jamon Johnson, S Jaylin Simpson
- Waived: K Lucas Havrisik
Kansas City Chiefs
- Elevated: S Mike Edwards, T Esa Pole
New England Patriots
- Signed to active roster: CB Miles Battle
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed to active roster: WR Britain Covey
Seattle Seahawks
- Elevated: CB Shaquill Griffin, LB Patrick O’Connell
- Placed on IR: LB Chazz Surratt
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Designated to return from IR: S Rashad Wisdom
Green Bay’s regular kicker Brandon McManus was off the injury report with three full practices this week, so Havrisik will take his leave after filling in for three games this year. The team had been keeping Havrisik close even during McManus’ healthy stretches, but after the backup missed two extra point attempts at MetLife this weekend, the Packers relinquished him to the waiver wire.
Jones missed most of his rookie campaign due to a knee injury, and the same has been true for most of his sophomore season. This time, though, he’s coming back with a bit more time left in the season.
O’Connell had already been called up as a gameday elevation three times this year, so if Seattle wanted to see him on the field again, this move was necessary. In his most recent elevation, O’Connell was asked to play a much bigger role, staying in for over half the team’s defensive snaps. In his first extended opportunity, O’Connell finished second on the team with nine tackles and even logged his first career sack.

Joe Flacco Hoping For Starting Opportunity In 2026
With Bengals franchise quarterback Joe Burrow expected to return from injured reserve in Week 13, Joe Flacco‘s short run as the team’s starter is likely over. As a soon-to-be free agent, Flacco’s time with Cincinnati may be running out.
Although Flacco will turn 41 years old in January, it doesn’t appear he’s eyeing retirement. On the contrary, the former Super Bowl MVP believes he’s capable of serving as a starter in 2026, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.
Flacco began this season as a stopgap Browns starter in front of rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. After a 1-3 start, they benched Flacco in favor of Gabriel. Six days later, Cleveland sent Flacco to in-state rival Cincinnati in a surprising Oct. 7 trade.
The Bengals took a cheap flier on Flacco, giving up a fifth-round pick in exchange for him and a sixth-rounder. They deemed the move worthwhile after backup Jake Browning flopped filling in for Burrow, who suffered a toe injury in Week 2.
Flacco struggled over four starts this year in Cleveland, where he completed 58.1% of passes, averaged 5.1 yards per attempt, threw more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (two), and posted a ghastly passer rating of 60.3. His production has markedly improved since the trade. Flacco has started six games as a Bengal and connected on 61.6% of throws with 6.5 YPA, 13 TDs against four INTs, and a 91.3 passer rating. He has gone over the 300-yard mark twice (which he didn’t do at all with the Browns), including a jaw-dropping 470 in a Week 9 loss to the Bears.
Discussing his performance as Cincinnati’s starter, Flacco told Baby: “Hopefully it reinforces it in somebody’s mind that I can do it. I do still want to do it. I still feel like I can do it. This obviously does help with the confidence of being able to do it and all that stuff.”
Flacco’s comments came before a 26-20 loss to New England on Sunday. He tossed a costly pick-six and finished a lackluster 19 of 37 for 199 yards and a TD against the Patriots. It was the second straight subpar outing for Flacco, who fared similarly in a 34-12 loss to the Steelers in Week 11.
Although Flacco has been a clear upgrade over Browning, the Bengals have won just one of his six starts. They acquired Flacco with the hope that he’d help keep them in the hunt until Burrow’s return. It didn’t work out, however. Thanks in large part to defensive ineptitude, the Bengals are 3-8 and heading for a third straight season without a playoff berth.
The Bengals will have a chance to rebound next year with a healthy Burrow and a better defense. Meanwhile, if he leaves Cincinnati and continues his career, Flacco could end up with his seventh organization since his 11-year run with the Ravens ended in 2018. That’s assuming he doesn’t rejoin one of his ex-teams. The former first-rounder from Delaware has spent time with the Broncos, Jets, Eagles, Colts, and both Ohio teams since 2019. Flacco may land yet another contract in the offseason, though it remains to be seen if he’ll receive any starting offers.
“I would like an opportunity, but you just never know,” Flacco told Baby.
Minor NFL Transactions: 11/24/25
Today’s minor moves:
Buffalo Bills
- Practice window opened: OL Tylan Grable
Carolina Panthers
- Elevated: LB Krys Barnes, RB DeeJay Dallas
Cincinnati Bengals
- Waived: QB Sean Clifford
Los Angeles Rams
- Waived: S Tanner Ingle
San Francisco 49ers
- Elevated: K Matt Gay, LB Jalen Graham
The Bills should soon get some extra OL depth, as Grable returned to practice today. The former sixth-round pick landed on IR before the start of the season thanks to concussion symptoms, and that ended up keeping him off the practice field for months. Now, the Bills will have 21 days to consider adding the second-year player to the active roster. As a rookie in 2024, the UCF product got into four games (one start).
Bengals Expect QB Joe Burrow To Play In Week 13
Joe Burrow has not experienced any setbacks since returning to practice two weeks ago. The Bengals have not yet activated him from injured reserve, but they appear very close to doing so. 
When speaking to the media on Monday, head coach Zac Taylor said (via ESPN’s Ben Baby) the plan is for Burrow to play on Thanksgiving against the Ravens. A return in time for Week 12 was seen as a possibility at one point, but the team elected to start Joe Flacco one more time. Flacco is now set for backup duties to close out the season.
Burrow pushed to return in time for yesterday’s game, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated notes. The team’s schedule proved to be a critical factor in Cincinnati’s decision-making, however. To little surprise, Breer adds the Bengals kept Burrow inactive for Week 12 knowing they had a quick turnaround. Provided the coming days go well, Cincinnati’s starter will be back in the fold.
Having lost to the Patriots on Sunday, the Bengals sit at just 3-8 on the year. A third straight season outside of the playoffs is very likely as a result. Once Burrow returned to practice, though, it became clear he would suit up for the closing stages of the season regardless of Cincinnati’s record. The two-time Comeback Player of the Year will look to give the team a lift on offense even with a postseason berth essentially out of reach.
Scoring has not always been an issue during Flacco’s tenure atop the QB depth chart, but the Bengals sit 18th in the NFL in scoring and 23rd in yards per game through Week 12. Of course, defensive improvement will be needed if the Bengals are to make progress in the standing down the stretch; the team ranks last in points and yards allowed. A healthy Burrow could help the compensate for ongoing issues on that side of the ball.
The former No. 1 pick’s career has included numerous major injuries, but he secured a $55MM-per-year extension in 2023. Given Burrow’s compensation, an argument could be made in favor of the Bengals sitting him for the rest of 2025 and ensuring full health for next year. Instead, he will suit up for (if all goes according to plan) Cincinnati’s final six games.
In other injury news, Taylor added (via Baby) Trey Hendrickson‘s hip injury will sideline him for at least one more game. Last year’s sack leader is out for Week 13, as is receiver Tee Higgins (who suffered a concussion yesterday). The Bengals’ offense will not be a full strength on Thanksgiving as a result, but Burrow is on track to lead the unit.
Bengals’ Duke Tobin On Hot Seat?
Duke Tobin has served as the Bengals‘ director of player personnel and de facto general manager since 2002. Despite his lengthy tenure, Tobin’s job security may be in doubt.
Per Mike Jones of The Athletic (subscription required), league insiders are questioning whether team owner Mike Brown will keep his top lieutenant in the fold. After all, the 3-7 Bengals are just two losses away from clinching a losing season and, barring a miraculous turn of events, will miss the playoffs for a third straight year.
Of course, Cincinnati’s difficulties since the club advanced to the AFC Championship Game at the end of the 2022 campaign can largely be attributed to quarterback Joe Burrow’s health concerns. The star passer played in just 10 games in 2023 and has appeared in just two contests this year, and any team that loses its QB1 for long stretches of time – especially a player of Burrow’s caliber – is going to struggle.
But Burrow played a full complement of games last year, and the Bengals still failed to qualify for the postseason (Burrow finished fourth in MVP voting and may have fared better in that regard if Cincy had cracked the playoff field). The culprit for 2024’s failures was not Burrow’s health, it was the defense, which surrendered the eighth-most yards and the eighth-most points per game.
This year, the defense has performed even more poorly. The Bengals are dead last in total defense and scoring defense, so although 40-year-old quarterback Joe Flacco has kept the offense in decent shape after Jake Browning faltered in relief of Burrow – Cincy is averaging 28.6 points per game and 385.6 yards per game during Flacco’s five games at the controls – the team has just one win since Burrow went down.
Earlier this year, Tobin conceded he tried to keep the defensive core of the roster that advanced to Super Bowl LVI intact for a bit too long, which he believed was a factor in the unit’s 2024 struggles. In order to address last season’s deficiencies, Tobin devoted three of his first four picks in the 2025 draft to the defensive side of the ball, including first-round selection Shemar Stewart and second-rounder Demetrius Knight.
Unfortunately, Stewart has appeared in only five games due to injury, and he generally has failed to impress when he has been on the field (Knight has also failed to live up to expectations in his rookie season). The team’s handling of Stewart’s and Trey Hendrickson’s contract situations have invited outside scrutiny, though Brown surely had a hand in those matters and may not hold them against Tobin.
What will work against the 55-year-old exec is his recent inability to hit on defensive players in the draft. Those shortcomings have undermined DC Al Golden’s efforts in his first year in charge of the Bengals’ defense and have made the decision to fire Lou Anarumo in favor of Golden look like a poor one.
On the other hand, some rival executives believe Burrow’s injury and Brown’s frugality will give Tobin a reprieve and another chance to return the team to contention in 2026. Until Brown formally confirms as much, Tobin’s future in the Queen City will remain a talking point.
2025 Injured Reserve Return Tracker
The 2024 offseason brought a change in how teams could construct their 53-man rosters while retaining flexibility with injured players. Clubs were permitted to attach return designations to two players (in total) placed on IR or an NFI list before setting their initial rosters.
In prior years, anyone placed on IR before a team set its initial 53-man roster could not be activated in-season. All August 26 IR- or NFI-return designations, however, already count against teams’ regular-season limit of eight. Teams will be tasked with determining which players injured in-season will factor into activation puzzles as the year progresses.
All players designated for return on August 26 became eligible to be activated beginning in Week 5, though any player placed on IR after a team set its initial 53 has not been designated for return and therefore does not yet count toward a club’s eight-activation limit. Playoff teams will receive two additional injury activations once the postseason begins.
Here is how the 32 teams’ activation puzzles look for Week 16:
