Minor NFL Transactions: 12/1/25
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
- Designated for return from IR: TE Shane Zylstra

- 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.
Giants OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux Out Monday Night
While the Giants will rejoice to see rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart return on offense for Monday Night Football tomorrow, Big Blue will be without pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux on defense for the third straight game, per Dan Duggan of The Atheltic. This report comes with little surprise considering Thibodeaux hasn’t once participated in a practice over the past three weeks as he deals with a shoulder injury. 
At this point, after three weeks of no practice, questions have started to shift from when Thibodeaux will be able to return to if Thibodeaux will be able to return. According to Ryan Dunleavy of New York Post Sports, when asked if the fourth-year defender may be shut down for the rest of the season, interim head coach Mike Kafka told reporters, “I think it’s too soon to tell.” Kafka continued, “He’s working his tail off to get back and get better. Our doctors are taking care of him.”
Though a resilient, young defender, Thibodeaux is no stranger to injury. His rookie year got off to a delayed start after he suffered a sprained MCL in the second week of the preseason. After starting every game of his sophomore campaign, Thibodeaux spent five weeks on injured reserve in Year 3 when he needed to undergo surgery for a wrist injury. He had been going strong this year until getting sidelined for the last three weeks.
While Thibodeaux’s attendance had been going strong this year, his pass rush production had not. After a slow rookie campaign only yielded four sacks, Thibodeaux showed why he was a fifth overall pick with an 11.5-sack performance in Year 2. Missing five games last year made a 5.5-sack total understandable, but through 10 games this season, the 24-year-old has only amassed 2.5 sacks.
Whether or not Thibodeaux is able to return this season may impact how his future plays out. During the leadup to the trade deadline earlier in the season, Thibodeaux felt like the most likely candidate to get shipped out of New York. While there were certainly interested callers, the Giants asking for a first-round pick in exchange for a pass rusher with 2.5 sacks on the year virtually dried up the market for Thibodeaux.
The team also picked up Thibodeaux’s fifth-year option, so they may be incentivized to work out a deal that helps them avoid paying the $14.75MM-predicted value of that option. Whether that means another attempt at trading him in the offseason or working out a short, reasonable extension with performance-based incentives remains to be seen.
The reason there was speculation concerning a Thibodeaux trade is because it seems like rookie No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter and veteran Brian Burns will be the pass rushers the team moves forward with, assuming they decide not to give big deals to all three. Though he only had one start during the time Thibodeaux was healthy, Carter had gotten almost an equal run as the two starters in terms of snap count while coming off the bench. In Thibodeaux’s absence, instead of a new third pass rusher taking his share of snaps, Carter and Burns have just shouldered more playing time.
While Carter has the advantage of youth and a cheaper 2026 salary over Thibodeaux, he, too, has struggled to finish with his pass rush this year. Carter has had more close calls — 12 quarterback hits to Thibodeaux’s nine — but only has half a sack on the season. In fact, the only person who seems to be getting to the quarterback this year on the Giants defense is Burns, who already has a career-high 13.0 sacks coming into Week 13.
New York will hope to see Carter blossom in extended starter’s minutes for however much longer Thibodeaux is out. While the team considers it too soon to call Thibodeaux done for the year, the fact that he hasn’t practiced in three weeks and that the question is being asked at all could be a bad sign.
Giants Expected To Retain GM Joe Schoen?
The 2025 season has seen the Giants fire head coach Brian Daboll and, shortly thereafter, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. Joe Schoen remains in place as general manager, and signs point to that continuing in 2026. 
The team statement issued in the wake of Daboll’s dismissal offered praise for the roster Schoen has built during his tenure. Schoen will also lead the team’s search for a new head coach, an indication his standing with ownership remains strong. On that point, Fox Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano reports there is an “internal expectation” the Giants will maintain the status quo at the GM spot beyond the 2025 season.
Schoen has been in place since 2022. His and Daboll’s first year in charge resulted in a surprise run to the divisional round of the playoffs, but since then the Giants have managed just 11 wins. In Week 12, New York became the first team eliminated from postseason contention for 2025, and a third straight season with double-digit losses has been clinched. Especially with Daboll and now Bowen out of the picture, the case for a complete housecleaning is easy to see.
As Vacchiano notes, however, instability on the sidelines and in the front office has been a defining characteristic of the Giants during the post-Tom Coughlin period. Over the past 10 years, four general managers and six head coaches have been in place. Retaining Schoen and pairing him with a veteran coach would allow for New York’s core (featuring the likes of quarterback Jaxson Dart, receiver Malik Nabers, left tackle Andrew Thomas, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and edge rusher Brian Burns) to move forward with consistency in terms of organizational direction.
Per Vacchiano, hiring a head coach who has previously held that role in the NFL is considered a “high priority” for some in the Giants’ building. That comes as little surprise, given the team’s struggles under first-time head coaches dating back several years. Candidates such as Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo have not worked as an NFL HC before, but they will no doubt receive a look as well.
Schoen’s stock with ownership has received a boost based on the decision to trade back into the first round and select Dart, Vacchiano adds. Other Day 1 draft additions in recent years such as offensive lineman Evan Neal and cornerback Deonte Banks have certainly not paid off, something which has helped split outside opinions on the matter of whether or not Schoen will (or should) be retained. Factors such as cap management and the financial situation Schoen inherited from Dave Gettleman will also be taken into consideration.
As things stand, the only GM opening in the NFL is that of the Dolphins. More vacancies are likely to open by the time the regular season has ended, but it would come as a surprise to many if the Giants were to find themselves in the market for a Schoen replacement.
Giants QB Jaxson Dart Clears Concussion Protocol
Jameis Winston has started each of the past two games as a fill-in for the Giants. He will return to backup duties in Week 13. 
Jaxson Dart has cleared concussion protocol, per a team announcement. That sets the first-round rookie up to return to action on Sunday against the Patriots. Avoiding any further injury-induced absences the rest of the way will be a key goal for team and player in this case.
Including the preseason, Dart has already been evaluated for a concussion four times this year. Concerns about the number he hits he takes during a game have been raised since he took over QB1 duties. As such, few were surprised when Dart suffered a concussion in Week 10. He remained in the multi-step protocol from that point until today.
Dart was a full participant in practice yesterday (h/t ESPN’s Jordan Raanan). That was a clear indication a return in time for Week 13 would be in store. The Giants are still shorthanded on offense, with wideout Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo out for the season. Dart’s return will allow for his development to continue, though, while also giving interim head coach Mike Kafka more time to audition for the full-time gig alongside New York’s QB of the future.
The fate of general manager Joe Schoen is also uncertain at this point, although signs point to him being safe. It was Schoen who traded back into the first round to select Dart in April’s draft, a move which seems to have helped his standing in the organization. A strong finish to the campaign would not move the Giants into postseason contention, but it could offer promise for 2026.
Winston guided New York to close losses against the Packers and Lions during his two starts. Defensive breakdowns remained an issue during that period, prompting the dismissal of DC Shane Bowen. As the team looks to make needed improvements on that side of the ball, Dart will be back in the fold beginning on Sunday.

Colts DC Lou Anarumo Expected To Draw HC Interest From Giants
Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is expected to draw interest from the Giants’ regarding their head coaching vacancy, per The Exhibit’s Josina Anderson.
Anarumo, 59, is one of the most respected defensive coaches in the NFL. He began his career with the Dolphins in 2012, serving as their defensive backs coach until 2017 with a brief stint as interim defensive coordinator in 2015. After a year as the Giants’ DBs coach in 2018, Anarumo was hired by the Bengals in 2019 under incoming head coach Zac Taylor.
Anarumo turned a Cincinnati defense that ranked 30th in points and 32nd in yards allowed into a respectable one within a few seasons. However, the unit only ranked among the league’s top-10 in either category during his tenure, though that could also be attributed to the team’s poor draft-and-develop record with defensive players. After the Bengals regressed to the 25th-ranked defense in 2024, Anarumo was fired.
The veteran coach quickly drew DC interest and interviewed with the Colts and the Falcons. He was hired in Indianapolis and has been a major part of their 8-3 start. Though the offense has been the primary driver of the Colts’ success, their defense has more than held up their end of the bargain. The Bengals, meanwhile, are not just the league’s worst defense; they are a historically bad unit.
Anarumo’s success in Indianapolis will likely get him on the radar for open head coaching jobs during the 2026 hiring cycle, including the Giants’ vacancy. He has past experience in New York under the same ownership and a relationship with general manager Joe Schoen. The two overlapped in Miami from 2012 to 2016, where Schoen rose through the scouting department to eventually become the director of player personnel. The familiarity with Schoen as well as Giants owner and president John Mara could certainly be a factor in getting Anarumo an interview.
When asked about his interest in a head coaching position on Tuesday, Anarumo said (via Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star) that he would be lying if he said he did not want a top job, but added that his focus was on the Colts’ next opponent.
It will be interesting to see if New York pursues a defensive-minded coach. They have not hired a former defensive coordinator as a head coach since Bill Parcells in 1983.
Giants Fire DC Shane Bowen
Further changes along the sideline are taking place in New York. Shane Bowen‘s defensive coordinator tenure with the Giants has come to an end. 
Bowen has been fired, as first reported by NJ.com’s Art Stapleton. The move comes after interim head coach Mike Kafka‘s second game at the helm. The Giants once again found themselves in position to close out a win yesterday, but they wound up dropping a 34-27 contest in overtime to the Lions. With defensive breakdowns still an issue, Bowen is being replaced. The news is now official, per a team announcement.
On five occasions this season, the Giants have held a lead of 10 or more points but gone on to lose; that includes three blown double-digit leads in the fourth quarter. That trend has led to increasing calls for Bowen to be dismissed. The 38-year-old’s job security was a talking point after the 2024 campaign with owner John Mara publicly criticizing him. As of early September, Bowen joined then-head coach Brian Daboll as a candidate to be replaced during the season.
Kafka took over from Daboll two weeks ago, and he did not make any immediate moves in terms of coordinator changes. Nevertheless, it was reported at the time Bowen was on thin ice. Overall, the former Titans DC’s unit ranks 30th in both points and yards allowed, something which has played a major role in New York’s 2-10 record. Today’s decision thus comes as little surprise.
In a move which many predicted in the immediate aftermath of the Bowen firing, outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen will take over as interim DC. Kafka has informed the team of Bullen’s promotion, The Exhibit’s Josina Anderson reports. This will be Bullen’s first stint as a coordinator at the college or NFL levels.
After beginning his coaching career at Iowa, Bullen began working at the NFL as a Dolphins assistant. He worked with the team’s linebackers from 2016-18 before doing the same with the Cardinals over a four-year span. Bullen served as Arizona’s outside linebackers coach during the final three years of that tenure before holding that same title with Illinois for the 2023 campaign.
Bullen joined the Giants in 2024, the same time Bowen was hired following the period which saw Don Martindale‘s feud with Daboll lead to his departure. Things have not gone according to plan since that move, with a number of notable defensive additions (such as the free agent signings of cornerback Paulson Adebo and safety Jevon Holland this past spring) not yielding an improved showing in terms of defensive production in Bowen’s second season.
The Giants will play the Patriots in the final game of Week 13. The team’s bye will follow, and then Kafka and Bullen will have a four-game run to close out the campaign. How those two fare in their respective roles down the stretch will be a central storyline for the team and help determine how the coaching staff is handled ahead of the 2026 hiring cycle.

Giants May Explore Trading For Next Head Coach
We’ve seen some recent rumors concerning the Giants’ open head coaching job following their dismissal of Brian Daboll. Some rumors have focused on names from the collegiate ranks like Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman, who was identified as an emerging candidate, or North Carolina’s Bill Belichick, who declined to pursue the job. Other reports focused on the decision to target a quarterback whisperer — for rookie Jaxson Dart — or a so-called “leader of men” type, in the mold of a Mike Tomlin or a Dan Campbell. 
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, though, New York hasn’t yet ruled out a fairly unorthodox method for finding their new coach. While the team is sure to explore the options available at the collegiate level as well as any of the NFL’s coordinators and assistant coaches who deserve a chance at more responsibility, the Giants are reportedly open to entertaining the idea of trading for a current head coach.
NFL trades including head coaches are extremely rare but not unheard of. In the history of the league, there has only ever been two true trades in which offers were made before things were finalized in some form or fashion. Six other transactions have taken place that were essentially trades, though they didn’t start out that way.
Before the concept of trading for a head coach was an established idea, there were still coaches who wanted to terminate their existing contract in favor of greener pastures. The first such example saw former Baltimore Colts head coach Don Shula leave the franchise to accept a perk-filled offer to coach the Dolphins. Baltimore accused Miami of tampering, and then-commissioner Pete Rozelle decided that the Dolphins would send a 1971 first-round pick to the Colts to make up for the years that had remained on Shula’s contract when he left.
Similar such transactions have occurred a few times since, wherein head coaches would either resign or retire with time remaining on their contract before ultimately choosing to coach elsewhere. This happened twice between the Jets and Patriots, with Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick both serving as the main pieces in those “trades.” The Seahawks poached Mike Holmgren from Green Bay in the ’90s, and we’ve recently seen examples with Bruce Arians and Sean Payton, who both took a year away from the NFL before taking new jobs that required an additional exchange of draft compensation for their former teams.
The two true trades saw Jon Gruden shipped from Oakland to Tampa Bay in exchange for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and $8MM in cash and Herm Edwards shipped from the Jets to the Chiefs for a fourth-round pick. Because there aren’t any free agent coaches, currently, who walked away from remaining contract years, it appears this would be the route New York would need to pursue.
This method would require the Giants to reach out to the front office of any coaches they may be interested in to determine if any interest in a deal is mutual. From there, the two teams would work out what they agree is sufficient compensation, but before sealing the deal, the coach would get a chance to veto. We saw the first part of this occur last year, when rumors were reported that the Bears were interested in acquiring 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, and in 2014, we saw the second part, when then-49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh nixed a deal that would’ve sent him to Cleveland.
It’s not the likeliest method for how the Giants are expected to find Daboll’s replacement, but it’s certainly interesting that they’re not turning it down as a possibility. And if New York has a chance to pair a coach currently under contract with their litany of young, drafted standouts on both sides of the ball, it wouldn’t be out of bounds for them to use some of that draft capital to bring in a standout head coach, as well.
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.
