NFL Practice Squad Updates: 9/3/25

September 3rd, 2025 at 8:11pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s practice squad moves:

Baltimore Ravens

Buffalo Bills

Detroit Lions

Houston Texans

New England Patriots

Philadelphia Eagles

  • Signed: CB Eli Ricks
  • Released: OL Hollin Pierce

Pittsburgh Steelers

San Francisco 49ers

Seattle Seahawks

Tennessee Titans

  • Released: DL Isaiah Raikes

The Ravens added a notable special teamer to their taxi squad today, agreeing to a deal with veteran J.T. Gray. The 29-year-old spent his entire professional career with the Saints before getting cut by the team last week. The majority of Gray’s playing time has come on special teams, where he’s earned three All-Pro nods for his efforts. As Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic notes, the veteran will likely see a role in Baltimore, as the team is still looking to fill holes left by a handful of departed core special teamers this past offseason.

To accommodate the addition of old friend Gabe Davis to the practice squad, the Bills had to get a bit creative. Temporarily, the team has released veteran safety Jordan Poyer, but the former Buffalo starter shouldn’t be gone for long. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston, Poyer is expected to rejoin the Bills practice squad once Davis is placed on the taxi squad injured list.

The Lions landed on a third-string quarterback after holding an audition earlier today. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the team has signed C.J. Beathard to the practice squad. Beathard worked out for the team earlier today alongside Nathan Peterman. Beathard has only started one game since garnering 12 starts for the 49ers between 2017 and 2020. He split last season with the Jaguars and Dolphins without getting into a game. In Detroit, he’ll serve as a third-stringer behind Jared Goff and Kyle Allen.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 8/31/25

Here are Sunday’s only practice squad transactions to close out the final weekend of 2025 without NFL football:

Los Angeles Chargers

Philadelphia Eagles

The Chargers brought two undrafted rookies onto their practice squad, making space by letting go of Barnhart and putting the veteran, Reagor, on the injured list. Barnhart started three positions on the Wolverines offensive line during Michigan’s championship season but went undrafted and failed to appear in an NFL game as a rookie last year.

Johnson rushed for over 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns in his final year at South Dakota State. Grimm was the top receiver at Kansas last year after averaging 623 receiving yards and six touchdowns over his last three seasons for the Jayhawks.

Landon Dickerson Moving Toward Week 1 Return; G Kenyon Green On Eagles’ 53-Man Roster

August 31st, 2025 at 2:42pm CST by Sam Robinson

Undergoing meniscus surgery in mid-August, Landon Dickerson was viewed as a candidate to come back early in the season. But missed time was still squarely on the radar for the Eagles’ Pro Bowl left guard.

That may not end up being required. After the defending Super Bowl champions kept Dickerson on their active roster — rather than making an IR move — Dickerson has returned to practice, per the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane. Adding Dickerson appears “full go,” McLane points to the four-year Philly starter opening the season on time.

While the Eagles could take a safer route with one of their top players and give him their upcoming mini-bye to return ahead of Week 2 (after a Thursday-night Cowboys clash), the team having him back at practice days ahead of the opener certainly puts a debut against Dallas in play. A Pro Bowler three years running, Dickerson has only missed one start due to injury over the past three years.

The Eagles gave Dickerson a then-record four-year, $84MM extension in March 2024. He then served as a vital part of Saquon Barkley‘s 2,000-yard rushing season, teaming with Pro Bowlers Lane Johnson and Cam Jurgens — along with left tackle mainstay Jordan Mailata and the resurgent Mekhi Becton — to power another strong Jeff Stoutland group. Becton parlayed his bounce-back season into a two-year Chargers deal, with Tyler Steen on track to start at RG.

With Steen a two-year backup set to debut as a regular starter, it would naturally benefit the Eagles not to need a Dickerson sub to start their title defense. Dickerson’s surgery was also believed to be minor, which kept the door open here. The team has Brett Toth and swingman Matt Pryor as backup options, and McLane adds Kenyon Green is now on the team’s 53-man roster.

Acquired in the C.J. Gardner-Johnson trade, Green did not make a strong push to replace Becton and did not secure a spot on Philadelphia’s active roster this week. The former No. 15 overall pick follows Becton in being a disappointing first-rounder now in Philly’s O-line developmental program, but he is up from the practice squad and set to back up Dickerson and Steen. Green, who made 23 starts in Houston during a wildly underwhelming tenure, replaces waiver claim Willie Lampkin on the Eagles’ active roster. Lampkin landed on IR soon after being claimed.

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/29/25

Here are Friday’s minor moves:

Detroit Lions

Jacksonville Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs

New England Patriots

New York Giants

Philadelphia Eagles

Pittsburgh Steelers

Tennessee Titans

Free Agent

Manoa will be suspended for the first two weeks of the season, if he lands with an NFL squad. While details of the suspension have not been disclosed, it may be linked to an incident that led to him being kicked out of Allegiant Stadium in the spring after some alleged property damage.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 8/29/25

August 29th, 2025 at 8:26pm CST by Ely Allen

NFL teams continue adjusting their practice squads as we close in on the regular season:

Dallas Cowboys

Green Bay Packers

Jacksonville Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs

Los Angeles Chargers

Miami Dolphins

  • Signed: S Jordan Colbert

New England Patriots

New York Giants

Philadelphia Eagles

San Francisco 49ers

Tennessee Titans

Anderson cleared waivers after being cut and can now be assigned to the 49ers’ practice squad. The reason San Francisco can add two while only dropping one from a full practice squad is because Zierer is from Munich, Germany, qualifying him to be a part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program. While practice squads are capped at 16 players, teams can keep a 17th player if they are a part of the IPPP.

Javon Baker To Join Eagles’ Practice Squad

August 29th, 2025 at 8:46am CST by Adam La Rose

As expected, Javon Baker found himself on the wrong side of the Patriots’ roster bubble earlier this week. The second-year wideout has not needed to wait long to find his next opportunity, though.

[RELATED: Recapping Eagles’ Offseason]

Baker plans to sign with the Eagles on their practice squad, ESPN’s Mike Reiss reports. The 2024 fourth-rounder considered multiple options, per Reiss. One of those was a return to the Patriots on their taxi squad. Instead, a change of scenery will take place.

Leading up to this week’s round of roster cuts, it was clear Baker and fellow 2024 draftee Ja’Lynn Polk were in danger of being waived. Polk has since landed on season-ending injured reserve, preventing a decision on keeping him or letting him go from needing to be made. After making New England’s initial 53-man, meanwhile, Baker was waived on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old made 11 appearances with the Patriots as a rookie, but in that time he made just one scoreless catch. Baker joins veteran Kendrick Bourne as a receiver New England – now led by head coach Mike Vrabel – has parted ways with in advance of the season. As the team moves forward with an altered WR group, Philadelphia will take a flier on Baker.

The Alabama and UCF product will join a receiving corps led once again by A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson. Philadelphia lost Johnny Wilson last week to season-ending surgery, hindering the team’s depth. Trade acquisition John Metchie is in position to operate as a backup, but Baker will give the Eagles another option on the practice squad. It will be interesting to see if he receives a gameday elevation early in the campaign.

2025 NFL Trades

August 28th, 2025 at 11:01pm CST by Sam Robinson

The modern NFL features four clear trade windows. While the Cowboys and Steelers’ George Pickens swap showed moves can be made at other points on the NFL calendar, early March, the draft, the late-August 53-man roster-setting date and the November deadline reside as the primary points trades occur around the league. On that note, it is a good time to check in on what has transpired on the trade market between windows two and three.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 8/28/25

Teams around the NFL continued to adjust their practice squads as new players came free from Wednesday’s transactions. Here are all the latest updates:

Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Falcons

Buffalo Bills

  • Signed: CB Jalen Kimber, DE Andre Jones Jr.
  • Released: CB Daequan Hardy

Carolina Panthers

Chicago Bears

Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland Browns

Dallas Cowboys

Denver Broncos:

  • Signed: TE Patrick Murtaugh (international exemptin)

Detroit Lions: 

Green Bay Packers:

Houston Texans: 

  • Signed: OT Reid Holskey, WR Josh Kelly

Indianapolis Colts: 

Jacksonville Jaguars:

San Francisco 49ers: 

Seattle Seahawks: 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 

Tennessee Titans: 

Washington Commanders:

Ismail was one of 17 players to work out for the Giants on Thursday, per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan. He won the practice squad spot over more notable players like former Broncos safety Caden Sterns and former Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma also attended the workout, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, suggesting that the Giants might be looking for extra depth at the position.

Wallace worked out for the Vikings on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. It must have gone well, as he was signed to the practice squad hours later as extra depth both in the secondary and on special teams.

Griffin returned to the Seahawks this offseason, eight years after they made him a third-round pick in the 2017 draft. He did not make Seattle’s 53-man roster, but as a vested veteran, he was able to re-sign to the practice squad without going through waivers.

Eagles, Saints, Dolphins Also Placed Claims On Jalyn Armour-Davis

August 28th, 2025 at 8:23pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

One of the Ravens’ more surprising 53-man roster cuts was the release of 2022 fourth-round pick Jalyn Armour-Davis.

The fourth-year cornerback was quickly claimed off waivers by the Titans, who had the No. 1 priority. They weren’t the only team with interest; the Saints, Dolphins, and Eagles all placed claims as well, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

Armour-Davis ended each of his first three seasons on the IR with two stints in 2024. The Ravens were still excited about his potential as a versatile backup in 2025 with defensive coordinator Zach Orr saying that Armour-Davis was the team’s smartest defensive back on multiple occasions.

It seemed that the injury bug may have struck again when Armour-Davis missed a few practices at training camp, but his MRI was clean and he returned to start all three preseason games. He played sparingly in the second, but in the other two, he allowed an 8.8 passer rating when targeted with two pass break-ups and an interception, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required).

The Saints could stand to add some cornerback depth after the departures of Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo in the last year. Behind a starting trio of Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alontae Taylor, and Isaac Yiadom, New Orleans only has veteran Ugo Amadi and fourth-round rookie Quincy Riley as backups.

Armour-Davis’ arrival in Tennessee is a reunion with former Ravens DBs coach and current Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. A successful claim by Miami would have similarly reconnected him with Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, who coached the Ravens’ defensive line during Armour-Davis’ time in Baltimore. Miami’s need at cornerback has been well-documented this offseason, and the soon-to-be 26 year old could have provided immediate depth. The Dolphins were successful in claiming former Colts second-round pick Julius Brents after he was waived.

The Eagles have several young cornerbacks on the 53-man roster – five of their six are 25 years or younger – and sought to add another in Armour-Davis. Philadelphia spent the offseason evaluating their options at the position behind star 2024 draft picks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. They brought in veteran Adoree’ Jackson to compete with former SEC starters Kelee Ringo and Eli Ricks. None emerged as a clear third starter, so the Eagles traded for Jakorian Bennett. That would appear to be enough depth, but Howie Roseman, the Eagles’ ever-active general manager, tried to add Armour-Davis for even more competition.

In Tennessee, Armour-Davis will once again play under Wilson in a cornerback room made thin by the absence of L’Jarius Sneed.
