As expected, Cowboys center Cooper Beebe landed on injured reserve today after suffering an ankle and foot injury during yesterday’s win over the Giants. The lineman suffered a lateral sprain in his ankle along with a bone fracture in his foot, an injury that’s expected to keep him sidelined for six to eight weeks. During an appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones expressed optimism that the injury timeline is “on the shorter end of that” (per Charean Williams of ProFootballTalk.com).

Commanders Make 30 Cuts, Place G Sam Cosmi On PUP

August 26th, 2025 at 4:46pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Commanders made a massive wave of roster moves this afternoon, releasing 30 players and placing starting right guard Sam Cosmi on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, per a team announcement.

Cosmi, 26, was viewed as a long shot to be ready for Week 1 after tearing his ACL in January. The fifth-year lineman will be sidelined for at least four games with veteran Nick Allegretti likely to start in the interim.

Here are the rest of Washington’s moves:

Waived

RB Kazmeir Allen
LB Kam Arnold
DT Ricky Barber
WR Ja’Corey Brooks
TE Lawrence Cager
RB Demetric Felton
QB Sam Hartman
DE Andre Jones Jr.
WR Jacoby Jones
DE T.J. Maguranyanga
WR Tay Martin
S Rob McDaniel
G Timothy McKay
S Ben Nikkel
T Foster Sarell
TE Cole Turner
CB Car’lin Vigers

Released

WR River Cracraft
DT Carl Davis
DT Sheldon Day
C Michael Deiter
DE Clelin Ferrell
T Bobby Hart
CB Antonio Hamilton
DE Jalyn Holmes
WR Chris Moore
WR K.J. Osborn
CB Bobby Price
LB Duke Riley
S Daryl Worley

Hartman, who signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent in 2024, was never going to make the roster ahead of veterans Marcus Mariota and Josh Johnson. He is likely to return to Washington’s practice squad if he clears waivers, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Felton is another practice squad candidate, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. He hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since 2022 and most recently played for the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions.

Headlining Washington’s veteran cuts is Ferrell, who started 10 games for the Commanders in 2024. He never lived up to his draft billing as the No. 4 pick in 2019 and will now be looking for his fourth team in as many years. H0lmes and Day both had rotational defensive line roles last season, while Deiter started two games as the backup center but lost his spot this year.

Minor NFL Transactions: 3/16/25

March 16th, 2025 at 8:27pm CST by Ely Allen

Today’s minor transactions:

Los Angeles Rams

Re-signed: RB Ronnie Rivers

Washington Commanders

Re-signed: DE Jalyn Holmes

Minor NFL Transactions: 10/16/24

October 16th, 2024 at 7:56pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Designated for return: DT Jaden Crumedy, S Sam Franklin Jr.

Los Angeles Rams

Designated for return: OT Joe Noteboom

Philadelphia Eagles

Designated for return: TE Albert Okwuegbunam

Washington Commanders

Signed: DE Jalyn Holmes
Signed from practice squad: DT Sheldon Day
Placed on IR: DT Jonathan Allen, DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste

A number of players returned to practice today, designating their return from injured reserve. This means teams will have 21 days to activate the players from IR to the active roster.

Noteboom is the most notable name, as the veteran has spent his entire career in Los Angeles. The former third-round pick has settled into a versatile sixth OL for the Rams, starting 32 of his 68 appearances. The lineman started Week 1 but only played in about one third of his team’s offense snaps before suffering an ankle injury.

Minor NFL Transactions: 10/14/24

October 14th, 2024 at 6:39pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

Here are the latest transactions from around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Activated to 53-man roster: WR Zay Jones

Buffalo Bills

Elevated from practice squad: RB Frank Gore Jr.

Houston Texans

Placed on reserve/suspended list: DT Mario Edwards Jr. (story)

New York Jets

Activated from IR: DT Leki Fotu
Elevated from practice squad: TE Anthony Firkser, S Jalen Mills
Released: DL Jalyn Holmes

Pittsburgh Steelers

Released: LB Adetokunbo Ogundeji

Seattle Seahawks

Designated for return from IR: S Jerrick Reed II

Jones will get to make his Cardinals debut in Week 7 after serving a five-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Arizona requested and received a one-week roster exemption so Jones could get acclimated to his new offense before being added to the 53-man roster. He will bring a veteran presence to a young Cardinals receiver room that lost Marvin Harrison Jr. to a concussion on Sunday.

Minor NFL Transactions: 9/19/24

September 19th, 2024 at 7:36pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

Here are Thursday’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Signed to active roster: OLB Tarron Jackson

Cleveland Browns

Waived: LB Nathaniel Watson

New England Patriots

Elevated: LB Joe Giles-Harris
Placed on reserve/left squad: OT Chukwuma Okorafor

New York Jets

Placed on IR: EDGE Jermaine Johnson (story)
Signed from practice squad: Jalyn Holmes

The Patriots sustained a blow to their offensive line depth when Okorafor left the team after being benched after just 12 snaps in Week 1. New England received a five-day roster exemption for Okorafor’s initial absence but was forced to move the offensive tackle to the reserve/left team list when the exemption expired. He is now ineligible to return this season.

Watson was drafted by the Browns in the sixth round of the 2024 draft and made Cleveland’s initial 53-man roster. He appeared in the team’s first two regular-season games, playing 33 snaps on special teams.

New York Jets

Elevated: DE Jalyn Holmes

San Francisco 49ers

Elevated: S Tracy Walker
Placed on IR: RB Christian McCaffrey (story)

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: T McClendon Curtis, RB George Holani

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: DT C.J. Brewer, DL Mike Greene

Tennessee Titans

Elevated: LB Luke Gifford

Washington Commanders

Signed to active roster: LB Nick Bellore
Elevated: CB Bobby Price, DE Carlos Watkins

Patrick was among the Broncos’ final roster cuts after a Saints trade was discussed. The 30-year-old missed the 2022 and ’23 campaigns due to ACL and Achilles tears, respectively. Patrick did not need to wait long to find a new opportunity, though, quickly landing a practice squad deal with the Lions. He is now positioned make his season debut tomorrow as a complementary option in Detroit’s passing attack.

Olszewski is dealing with a groin injury and he was known to be facing a long-term absence. Today’s move thus comes as no surprise, but it ensures at least a four-week absence. The former All-Pro scored a punt return touchdown with Pittsburgh early last season and added another during his 10-game Giants stretch to close out the year. The team will need to rely on other options in the return game for the time being.
