Carson Tinker - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/12/23

Today’s minor moves:

Cleveland Browns

Signed to active roster: DE Sam Kamara

Green Bay Packers

Waived: CB Kyu Blu Kelly

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed to active roster: OT Brandon Parker
Placed on IR: LB Kana’i Mauga

Los Angeles Chargers

Signed to active roster: QB Max Duggan

Los Angeles Rams

Signed: LS Carson Tinker
Placed on IR: TE Hunter Long (story), LS Alex Ward

With Justin Herbert landing on IR, the Chargers have added some depth to the roster in Max Duggan. The rookie seventh-round pick landed on the team’s practice squad after the preseason, and he’s spent the entire season off the active roster. He’ll now have a chance at some game action, although Easton Stick is expected to get the first shot at the starting gig.

Duggan spent four years as TCU’s starter, culminating in a breakout senior campaign where he went 12-2 while tossing 32 touchdowns vs. eight interceptions. That performance helped his draft stock, with the Chargers making him the last QB off the board during the 2023 draft.

Here are today’s minor moves:

Baltimore Ravens

Waived from IR with injury settlement: CB Jordan Swann

Detroit Lions

Signed: S Scott Nelson
Waived/injured: RB Mohamed Ibrahim

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: LS Tucker Addington
Released: LS Carson Tinker

Philadelphia Eagles

Reverted to IR: WR Tyrie Cleveland, DT Noah Elliss, CB Zech McPhearson
Placed on reserve/retired list: LB Myles Jack (story)

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: DE DaMarcus Mitchell
Waived: DE Jordan Ferguson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Claimed off waivers (from Giants): CB Rodarius Williams
Placed on IR: WR Russell Gage (story)

Tennessee Titans

Waived: S A.J. Moore

Washington Commanders

Signed: DT Isaiah Mack, P Michael Palardy
Released: K Michael Badgley (story)
Waived: WR Jalen Sample

It appears that, like Colby Wadman before him, Palardy is just a camp body. Incumbent punter Tress Way is dealing with a back ailment, and he will only work as the holder in the Commanders’ preseason contest against the Ravens tomorrow night (Twitter link via Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post). So Palardy, who has appeared in 80 games in his career (including eight with the Patriots in 2022), will have a chance to audition for other clubs that may be on the lookout for a punter at some point.

Washington is also in need of another player to rotate in on the defensive line, as Jonathan Allen (plantar fasciitis) and Phidarian Mathis are both banged up (Twitter link via ESPN’s John Keim). Mack, who has 25 appearances in his pro career, will at least help the team get through camp and the rest of the preseason slate.

Bartch started the Jaguars’ first five games last season but went down with a knee injury in October. The fourth-year veteran will give the Jags an option at left guard, where he started last season. A former fourth-round pick, Bartch also started 11 games in 2021. This marks a return for Tinker, whose NFL entrance came as a Jaguars UDFA in 2013. Tinker spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jags but did not see action in 2017, 2019 or 2020. He worked as the Seahawks’ full-time long snapper last season. Ross Matiscik has been Jacksonville’s deep snapper for the past three seasons.

Austin spent last season out of football but has 17 starts to his credit. Used as a regular Jets starter from 2019-20, Austin caught on with the Seahawks in 2021. Seattle used Austin as a backup. The young cornerback could not make the Broncos’ 53-man roster last summer. While a member of the 2022 Seahawks, Tabor converted from cornerback to safety. The former second-round pick played 10 games for the team last season.

Robinson has been mostly a rotational defensive end with the Seahawks, but the Syracuse product has five sacks in his two seasons. Robinson suffered a knee injury in Seattle’s preseason finale. He can return after four games, though teams only have eight IR-return slots — way up from the pre-COVID NFL but down from the 2020 and ’21 unlimited IR-return setup — this season.

The Seahawks will be without their primary long snapper, Tyler Ott, on Monday night. Ott is out with a shoulder injury. Tinker has been an NFL snapper since 2013, and the veteran specialist has experience with Seahawks kicker Jason Myers. The duo played together in Jacksonville during the mid-2010s.
