Tennessee Titans

Alualu is set to make his Lions debut after signing earlier this month. Given the injury issues Detroit has faced up front, the 36-year-old has the chance to see playing time through the close of the regular season and into the playoffs. Alualu expressed a desire to continue playing with the Steelers this offseason, but he remained a free agent deep into the year. His tenure in the Motor City could help boost his free agent stock if he wishes to remain in the league in 2024, though.

Released: WR Michael Bandy

Humphrey was let go yesterday, but he will immediately find himself back in Denver’s lineup on Sunday. The team announced he has been elevated upon re-signing with the practice squad, meaning Week 7 will be his third and final gameday elevation. The Broncos will need to sign him to the active roster after that point to keep him in the fold for the rest of the season.

Today’s practice squad transactions:

Atlanta Falcons

Released: WR Xavier Malone

Chicago Bears

Signed: WR Collin Johnson
Released: K John Parker Romo

Denver Broncos

Released: WR Michael Bandy

Detroit Lions

Signed: CB Anthony Averett (story), TE Anthony Firkser

Minnesota Vikings

Released: QB Tanner Morgan

New York Giants

Signed: OL Yodny Cajuste
Designated to return: WR Cole Beasley
Released: CB Amani Oruwariye, WR Cam Sims

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: FB Jack Colletto

Anthony Firkser will provide the Lions with some veteran tight end depth. Darrell Daniels has mostly transitioned to a fullback role and James Mitchell is sidelined with a hamstring injury, leaving Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright as the two healthy TEs on the roster. Firkser has seen time in 69 regular season games, hauling in 115 catches for 1,207 yards and five touchdowns. The 28-year-old tight end got into 11 games for the Falcons in 2022, finishing with nine catches for 100 yards.

Yodny Cajuste is back in New York after getting cut by the Jets back in August. The former third-round pick got into 17 games (five starts) for the Patriots between the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He was waived by New England back in May before catching on with the Jets for the preseason.

Wednesday’s practice squad moves:

Chicago Bears

Released: S Macon Clark

Denver Broncos

Signed: WR Michael Bandy

Houston Texans

Signed: DT Taylor Stallworth
Activated from practice squad/injured: S Brandon Hill

Minnesota Vikings

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: WR Dez Fitzpatrick, TE Noah Gindorff

San Francisco 49ers

Signed: OL Ilm Manning, RB Jeremy McNichols
Released: FB Jack Colletto, DL Marlon Davidson

Tennessee Titans

Signed: WR Mason Kinsey

Erving finds a new home in 2023 after originally re-signing to stay with the Panthers in the offseason. The former first-round pick has plenty of starting experience over his eight years in the NFL and has started games at center, guard, and tackle. With several injuries nagging the offensive line in New Orleans, the addition of Erving could prove beneficial.

Released: OL Chris Glaser, OT Cedric Ogbuehi, CB Nehemiah Shelton

Philadelphia Eagles

Released: LB Kyron Johnson

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: OT Obinna Eze
Released: RB Greg Bell, WR Jalen Camp

Taiwan Jones will now look to catch on elsewhere after getting let go by the Giants. The veteran joined New York’s practice squad back in August and was elevated for the first two games of the season, with Jones returning one kick and one punt. It’s been a bit since Jones last contributed on offense, but the veteran was a reliable special teams player for the Bills for half a decade (two stints).
