Minor NFL Transactions: 3/18/26
Wednesday’s minor transactions from around the league:
Arizona Cardinals
- Signed: TE Teagan Quitoriano
Chicago Bears
- Signed: DT James Lynch
Cleveland Browns
- Re-signed: OLB Julian Okwara
- Signed: S Daniel Thomas
Denver Broncos
- Signed: S Tycen Anderson
San Francisco 49ers
- Re-signed: DE Sam Okuayinonu
Seattle Seahawks
- Re-signed: WR Cody White
Okwara returns to Cleveland after spending the entire 2025 season on the practice squad. The former third-round pick has 10.0 sacks in his six years of NFL play with five coming in his sophomore campaign. The addition of Thomas provides the Browns with a veteran special teams contributor.
The 49ers are bringing back Okuayinonu after the fourth-year defender filled in for 12 starts and two postseason starts with San Francisco last year. He’s recorded three sacks in each of the past two years for the 49ers.
Seahawks Make Handful Of Roster Moves
Gearing up for a monumental Week 18 meeting with NFC West rival San Francisco, Seattle made a few adjustments to its roster on Tuesday. The Seahawks placed wide receiver Cody White on injured reserve, signed offensive tackle Amari Kight to their active roster, waived safety D’Anthony Bell, and added wideout Montorie Foster to their practice squad (via John Boyle of the team’s website).
White, who injured his groin in a win over Carolina last Sunday, will miss a minimum of four games. That means White’s season will officially end if the Seahawks beat the 49ers on Saturday in a battle for the division and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. A victory would give the Seahawks a first-round bye, which would render White ineligible for a Super Bowl return if they advance that far.
Now in his second year with the Seahawks, White appeared in 10 games during the regular season and caught three passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. He was on the field for 26.8% of special teams snaps and 16.6% of offensive snaps.
Kight, an undrafted rookie from UCF, received his third and final standard elevation from the practice squad in Week 17. The Seahawks had to sign Kight to their active roster in order to use him again. Kight has only played two offensive snaps this year, but with starting left tackle Charles Cross dealing with a hamstring injury, the Seahawks need the depth. Cross has missed back-to-back games, and it’s unclear if he’ll face the 49ers. Josh Jones will start again this week if Cross can’t play.
In his first season as a Seahawk, Bell has played in 14 games and started two. The former Brown has notched 15 tackles and a half-sack while primarily playing on special teams. He ranks third among Seahawks in ST snaps (251). The Seahawks cut Bell two weeks ago before immediately bringing him back on a practice squad deal. They’ll likely do the same again if he clears waivers, per Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.
Bell’s roster spot will go to linebacker Derick Hall, who served a one-game suspension against the Panthers. Although Hall appealed the punishment, the league upheld it as a result of “an act of unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct” he committed in a win over the Rams in Week 16.
Seahawks Designate S Julian Love, 2 Others To Return From IR
The Seahawks designated safety Julian Love, defensive tackle Jarran Reed, and wide receiver Dareke Young to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson.
Love was placed on IR on November 1 after a setback in his recovery from an early-season hamstring injury. Reed and Young joined him a week later, Reed with wrist and thumb issues, while Young with a quad strain.
Love has only played three games this season, though he played all of Seattle’s defense snaps in those contests. Third-year safety Ty Okada has stepped up in Love’s absence with a solid all-around performance. He ranks 19th among NFL safeties (min. 100 snaps) with a 74.3 overall grade from Pro Football Focus (subscription required). He also earned grades of at least 70.0 for his run defense, pass rushing, and coverage. As a result, Okada could maintain a role in the Seahawks defense even after Love returns to the field.
Reed, a 10-year veteran, appeared in Seattle’s first eight games with a 47% snap share, a notable decrease from 72% in 2023 and 60% last year. His production has dipped accordingly; he only recorded 17 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and one tackle for loss at the start of the season. The Seahawks have primarily called on Brandon Pili to fill Reed’s snaps, though Mike Morris and Quinton Bohanna have also seen an uptick in playing time.
Young occupied a core special teams role to start the year with only 34 snaps on offense in his six appearances. The fourth-year wideout had a similar snap distribution during his first three seasons in the NFL. A number of Seahawks saw additional playing time in Young’s absence, including outside linebacker Connor O’Toole and wide receiver Cody White.
Love, Young, and Reed will all have 21 days to practice before they must be activated or placed on season-ending IR.
Seahawks Place DT Jarran Reed, WR Dareke Young On IR
NOVEMBER 9: General manager John Schneider said on a Seattle Sports radio appearance (via Condotta) Reed recently underwent surgery on his wrist. Recovery from the procedure has not gone as planned, so instead of continuing to play through the issue (as he did last week) Reed will look to fully heal while on IR.
NOVEMBER 8: The Seahawks announced that they have placed defensive tackle Jarran Reed and wide receiver Dareke Young on IR. Reed is dealing with wrist and thumb issues, while Young has a quadriceps injury. Both players will miss a minimum of four games.
Reed, a 10th-year man who began his second stint with the Seahawks in 2023, has once again been a significant contributor this season. Appearing in all eight of the 6-2 Seahawks’ games before his IR placement, Reed has logged a 47.3% snap share with 17 tackles and 1.5 sacks. The 6-foot-3, 315-pounder’s wrist injury limited him to a season-low 17 snaps in a blowout win over the Commanders last week.
Although Reed’s wrist has bothered him, the IR placement comes as a surprise after he was a full participant in practice during the week. Reed’s thumb problem seems to be a new development, though, and it will help lead to a lengthy absence. As Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times notes, only Reed’s wrist malady was listed on the injury report throughout the week. The team announced his thumb injury on Saturday.
Young has totaled just four catches in 39 games since the Seahawks used a seventh-round pick on him in 2022. The 26-year-old has picked up a pair of receptions for 48 yards in six games this season. Most of Young’s impact has come on special teams, where he has played 48.4% of snaps in 2025.
Along with Young, the Seahawks are dealing with injuries to fellow receivers Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel), Tory Horton (groin, shin), and Jake Bobo (calf) ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the NFC West rival Cardinals. Kupp is questionable, Horton is doubtful, and Bobo is out.
To replenish their depth, the Seahawks signed D-tackle Quinton Bohanna and receiver Cody White from their practice squad to their 53-man roster on Saturday. They also elevated receiver Ricky White III and linebacker Patrick O’Connell from their practice squad.

Pittsburgh Steelers

- Elevated: LB Mark Robinson
Seattle Seahawks

- Elevated: WR Ricky White
Washington Commanders
- Elevated: WR Robbie Chosen
Week 10 will mark the debut for both players the Chargers gave the IR-designated for return label during roster cutdowns in August. Their activations had already been accounted for, but Hand’s had not. With those three now back in the fold, the Bolts have three IR activations remaining on the season.
Seahawks Place Julian Love, Eric Saubert On IR
In advance of their meeting with the Commanders on Sunday, the Seahawks have placed safety Julian Love and tight end Eric Saubert on IR, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Love is dealing with a hamstring injury, while a calf issue will shelve Saubert. Both players will miss a minimum of four games.
Love hasn’t played since Week 4, but the 5-2 Seahawks held off on putting him on IR throughout October. With the team coming off its bye, Love suffered a setback this week, head coach Mike Macdonald said (per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic). He’ll be out until at least Week 13 as a result.
After earning his lone Pro Bowl nod in 2023 and signing a three-year extension, Love was a 17-game starter for the first time in his career last season. He racked up 109 tackles, 12 passes defensed, and three interceptions along the way. Love recorded 18 tackles and a sack in three starts this year before the injury derailed his season.
The Love-less Seahawks have deployed Coby Bryant and Ty Okada as their top two safeties for most of 2025. Their pass defense, which will get two-time Pro Bowl corner Devon Witherspoon back from a three-game absence this week, ranks a strong 10th in the NFL.
After a season with the NFC West rival 49ers, Seubert signed a one-year pact with the Seahawks last offseason. He ranks third among Seahawks tight ends in snaps, trailing starter AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo, and has caught his only target for 12 yards.
Along with the IR placements of Love and Saubert, the Seahawks made a handful of other moves Saturday, Dugar reports. The team activated fullback Robbie Ouzts, who had been on IR since Sept. 24, and signed safety Jerrick Reed II from the practice squad to the active roster. Additionally, wideouts Cody White and Ricky White III received standard elevations from the practice squad. As Dugar notes, calling up the Whites may bode poorly for receiver Cooper Kupp, who’s questionable for Week 9 with heel and hamstring injuries.
NFL Practice Squad Updates: 10/10/25
Friday’s practice squad transactions:
Pittsburgh Steelers

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 10/9/25
Thursday’s practice squad moves:
Cleveland Browns
- Released: CB Ameer Speed
Minnesota Vikings
- Signed: TE Nick Vannett
New Orleans Saints
- Signed: WR Velus Jones
Seattle Seahawks
- Signed: WR Cody White
The Browns reached an injury settlement with Speed, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. The team placed Speed on IR with an undisclosed injury on Wednesday. The former Colt, Patriot, and Bear hasn’t appeared in a game this year.
Jones is returning to the Saints just two days after they released him. The 28-year-old has played in all five of New Orleans’ games this season and amassed 76 snaps (74 on special teams). While Jones hasn’t been a factor on offense, he has averaged 22.8 yards per kickoff return on eight tries.
This has been a multi-transaction day for White, whom the Seahawks released and then quickly re-signed to their practice squad. White totaled 11 snaps (five on offense, six on special teams) during a Week 1 loss to the 49ers and hasn’t played since.
Minor NFL Transactions: 10/9/25
Several NFL teams made minor roster moves on Thursday. Among them were the Giants, who signed two players from their practice squad to the active roster and promoted two more for their matchup with the Eagles on Thursday Night Football. Here is the full list:
New York Giants
- Signed from practice squad: LB Neville Hewitt, K Jude McAtamney
- Elevated from practice squad: LB Zaire Barnes, WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
Tennessee Titans
- Waived: OL Brant Banks
Seattle Seahawks
- Signed from practice squad: NT Brandon Pili
- Released: WR Cody White
The Giants are dealing with injuries to multiple linebackers and wide receivers, as well as a groin injury that forced starting kicker Graham Gano onto injured reserve. Hewitt and Barnes will offer depth on defense and special teams, while Humphrey will reinforce a a depleted receiving corps.
McAtamney will take on the Giants’ kicking duties for a third week in a row. Including one appearance last season, he has made all three of his field goal attempts and all four of his extra points, though none of his kicks have come beyond 40 yards. He may get a chance to test his leg from a longer distance on Thursday night against a tough Eagles defense.
Minor NFL Transactions: 9/23/25
Here are the latest minor moves around the NFL coming out of Week 3:
Arizona Cardinals
- Signed from practice squad: OL Demontrey Jacobs
- Placed on injured reserve: RB James Conner (story)
Green Bay Packers
- Signed from practice squad: OT Brant Banks
Minnesota Vikings
- Released: WR Tim Jones

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Signed from practice squad: DT C.J. Brewer
- Placed on IR: TE Ko Kieft
Kieft’s leg injury is likely to end his season, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The 27-year-old had just started his fourth season as a core special teams contributor for the Bucs and will now spend the year rehabbing before he hits free agency in the spring.
