Evans had been called up from the practice squad three times by the Cowboys, meaning he needed to be added to the 53-man roster this week to continue suiting up. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports “several teams” attempted to poach the veteran off the taxi squad, but his decision to remain with Dallas has culminated in today’s move. Evans has logged 74 combined defensive and special teams snaps with the Cowboys so far, recording three tackles.

James was out of the lineup for one game after being designated for return, but he will be eligible to suit up for the upcoming Super Bowl rematch against the Eagles. Mentioned as a trade candidate earlier this year, he will be able to add depth to a WR corps which has underperformed to date, and add to his single catch recorded in his two Kansas City games at the start of the campaign.

Minor NFL Transactions: 7/18/23

As teams welcomed in rookies for camp this week, they began to reorganize their rosters. Today’s minor moves:

Miami Dolphins

Placed on NFI: CB Ethan Bonner
Placed on IR: LB Zeke Vandenburgh

New Orleans Saints

Placed on NFI: WR Shaquan Davis, RB Kendre Miller, WR A.T. Perry
Placed on PUP: CB Anthony Johnson, G Nick Saldiveri

New York Giants

Signed: CB Darren Evans
Waived/injured: CB Leonard Johnson

San Francisco 49ers

Placed on PUP: CB Darrell Luter Jr.

Vandenburgh, an undrafted rookie out of Illinois State, suffered an injury while training this offseason, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald (on Twitter). His placement on IR means he won’t be able to play for the Dolphins in 2023, but he could work his way onto the field with another squad. Bonner, meanwhile, is dealing with a minor illness and should be good to go later this week.

Miller, a third-round pick by the Saints, is still recovering from a meniscus injury that kept him off the field for TCU’s National Championship game. The Saints were always planning to ease in the running back during training camp, and it sounds like he’s still expected to be a full-go by the time the regular season comes around.

NFL Draft Pick Signings: 5/10/23

Teams are moving quickly on inking their Day 3 draftees to their four-year rookie deals, with this process involving a slot system that does not feature many complications for late-round players. Here are the latest such agreements to commence:

Atlanta Falcons

S DeMarcco Hellams (seventh round, Alabama)

Buffalo Bills

LB Dorian Williams (third round, Tulane)
WR Justin Shorter (fifth round, Florida)

Carolina Panthers

OLB D.J. Johnson (third round, Oregon)

Detroit Lions

WR Antoine Green (seventh round, North Carolina)

Jacksonville Jaguars

FB Derek Parish, (seventh round, Houston)

New England Patriots

P Bryce Baringer (sixth round, Michigan State)
WR Demario Douglas (sixth round, Liberty)

San Francisco 49ers

K Jake Moody (third round, Michigan)
CB Darrell Luter Jr. (fifth round, South Alabama)

Washington Commanders

DE Andre Jones Jr. (seventh round, Louisiana)

Johnson transferred back to the west coast after a freshman year at Miami (FL). He established himself as one of the most versatile players in the country while in Eugene, contributing for the Ducks on defense as an edge rusher and on offense as a tight end. Carolina drafted him for his defensive potential.

Moody is the expected replacement for Robbie Gould, who departed in free agency this spring after six years with San Francisco. Likewise, New England moved on from punter Jake Bailey after a couple of internal disagreements. Baringer is expected to take over for the one-time All-Pro punter.
