NFL Minor Transactions: 11/4/25

Here are Tuesday’s minor transactions after a busy trade deadline:

Arizona Cardinals

Released: TE Josiah Deguara

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: G Andrew Stueber

Baltimore Ravens

Signed to active roster: S Keondre Jackson
Waived: S Sanoussi Kane

Chicago Bears

Placed on IR: DE Dayo Odeyingbo (story)

Dallas Cowboys

Waived: RB Malik Davis

Denver Broncos

Waived (with injury designation): S J.T. Gray

Detroit Lions

Released (with injury settlement): TE Kenny Yeboah
Released: OL Justin Herron

Green Bay Packers

Signed to active roster: DT Arron Mosby, TE Josh Whyle
Placed on IR: TE Tucker Kraft (story)

Los Angeles Chargers

Placed on reserve/retired list: LS Rick Lovato

Philadelphia Eagles

Released: OLB Patrick Johnson

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: S Jerrick Reed II

Washington Commanders

Placed on IR: CB Marshon Lattimore, WR Luke McCaffrey (story)

Usually when a player retires in the middle of the season, it’s a free agent who hoped they’d find a home due to the attrition of the regular season but never do. Rarely do we see active players like Lovato retiring partway through a campaign like this. Lovato is choosing to go out on his own terms, though, as it appears he was close to being released. Los Angeles only signed Lovato just before the season because its regular long snapper, Josh Harris, got hurt and placed on the team’s injured reserve with a designation to return. Harris returned to practice last week, so seeing the writing on the wall, Lovato is saving the Chargers the trouble of releasing him.

Kane had been a core special teamer for the Ravens since getting drafted out of the seventh round last year but had been made a healthy scratch in each of the team’s past two games. Jackson, though, has emerged as a standout on the unit over three practice squad elevations. The Ravens wanted Jackson to keep playing, so he’ll take Kane’s spot on the 53-man roster.

Reed’s time on Seattle’s active roster was short-lived. They’ll likely plan for him to sign back to the practice squad, but he’ll have to clear waivers before they can bring him back. The same is expected of Davis in Dallas.

NFL Minor Transactions: 10/15/25

October 15th, 2025 at 6:32pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s midweek minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed to active roster: TE Josiah Deguara

Detroit Lions

Signed off Chiefs’ practice squad: S Jammie Robinson

Indianapolis Colts

Released (with injury settlement): LB Joe Bachie

New York Giants

Designated to return from reserve/PUP: OLB Victor Dimukeje

As injuries and suspensions thin out the Lions’ secondary, Detroit is bringing in Robinson, who signed to the Chiefs’ taxi squad in the days leading up to the regular season and has yet to see any gametime this year.

With Arizona losing tight end Travis Vokolek for the rest of the season with a neck injury, Deguara gets the call to fill out the room off the practice squad.

Dimukeje has been working his way back from a torn pectoral muscle suffered in offseason workouts back in May, shortly after joining the team. He’ll have 21 days to get activated off the PUP list and debut in New York.

San Francisco 49ers

Signed to active roster: LB Curtis Robinson

Waived: DE Robert Beal Jr.

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: S D’Anthony Bell, DT Brandon Pili

Tennessee Titans

Signed to active roster: C Corey Levin
Elevated: RB Jordan Mims, T John Ojukwu
Waived: T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson

With one quarterback on the reserve/non-football injury list and starter Brock Purdy inactive, Martinez comes up with the potential to appear in his first ever NFL game, though Niners fans hope his presence will not be necessary.

Bell will be active for tomorrow’s game as the Seahawks work to replace second-round rookie Nick Emmanwori in the secondary. Emmanwori has been ruled out with an ankle injury. Similarly, Wallow will be part of the Broncos’ efforts to fill in for injured linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who has been ruled out for the second week in a row.

Wednesday NFL Transactions: NFC West

August 27th, 2025 at 6:55pm CST by Sam Robinson

Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline Tuesday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters. In addition to waiver claims, teams can begin constructing their 16-man practice squads today. These 49ers, Cardinals, Rams and Seahawks moves are noted below.

Singleton, RB Anthony Tyus III, WR Ricky White, RB Jacardia Wright

Cardinals Trim Roster To 53

August 26th, 2025 at 9:01pm CST by Ely Allen

The Cardinals announced the following roster moves to get down to their initial 53-man roster:

Released:

LS Aaron Brewer
RB Michael Carter
T Jake Curhan
RB DeeJay Dallas
TE Josiah Deguara
WR Simi Fehoko
CB Darren Hall
G Nick Leverett
G Royce Newman
LB Mykal Walker

Waived:

First-round defensive tackle Nolen will miss at least the first four weeks of his rookie year. The Ole Miss product is dealing with a calf injury that forced him to miss most of training camp. Another d-lineman, Barrs will hit waivers but stands a good chance at landing on the practice squad if he clears.

The Cards made some surprise decisions in the running backs rooms, disposing of veterans like Carter and Dallas in favor of Zonovan Knight, who hasn’t appeared in a game since 2023. One of the veterans could end up back on the practice squad, as could wide receiver/special teamer Fehoko.

Russell suffered a concussion in training and will now miss the entire 2025 season on injured reserve. Jones and Conner, though, will be eligible to return after, at least, a four-week absence. The two linemen are dealing with knee injuries but may be able to bolster the line later in the year.

Brewer getting cut means the team does not have a long snapper on the roster. Likely, the team has a handshake deal with Brewer that will allow them to place some players on injured lists, opening a spot for him and others to return.

NFL Minor Transactions: 5/5/25

May 5th, 2025 at 7:55pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: TE Josiah Deguara

Green Bay Packers

Waived: WR Tulu Griffin

Los Angeles Rams

Signed: WR Britain Covey

Josiah Deguara brings 65 games of experience to Arizona, with the majority of those appearances coming during his four seasons with the Packers. While he’s had a consistent special teams role in recent years, he’s also managed to contribute offensively. This includes a 2021 campaign where he hauled in 25 catches and two touchdowns with Aaron Rodgers as his QB.

The tight end is coming off a 15-game showing in Jacksonville where he was limited to only three catches all season. The veteran should compete for a role behind Trey McBride, with the Cardinals also rostering the likes of Tip Reiman and Elijah Higgins at the position.
