We will keep track of today’s minor moves right here:

Atlanta Falcons

• Signed: DL Abdullah Anderson
• Placed on IR: DL Vincent Taylor

Buffalo Bills

• Activated from active/NFI list: G Rodger Saffold

Chicago Bears

• Placed on IR: LB Christian Albright (from waived/injured)
• Waived/injured: LB C.J. Avery

Cincinnati Bengals

• Activated from active/PUP list: DE Khalid Kareem

Green Bay Packers

• Activated from active/NFI list: CB Keisean Nixon

Jacksonville Jaguars

• Signed: RB Matt Colburn
• Waived/injured: RB Nathan Cottrell

New York Giants

• Signed: OL Eric Smith

Philadelphia Eagles

• Signed: OT Jarrid Williams

Washington Commanders

• Signed: TE Eli Wolf, S Steven Parker
• Released: QB Cole Kelley, LB Bryce Notree
• Waived/injured: WR Jequez Ezzard

Saffold landed on the NFI list after injuring his ribs in a car accident. Getting their starting left guard back sooner rather than later is an important development for the Bills.

Colburn will take the place of Cottrell in the Jags’ RB room. The Wake Forest product played in four games for the USFL’s Philadelphia Stars this year, garnering 102 rushes for 457 yards (just under 4.5 YPC) and eight scores.

Cottrell has seen action in each of the past two years for Jacksonville, returning seven kicks in 2020 and handling one carry in 2021.

Wolf and Parker get preseason roster positions after successful workouts yesterday. The Commanders are looking for depth at both positions as they work towards a 53-man roster.
