Earnest Brown IV

Minor NFL Transactions: 5/22/24

Today’s minor moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: WR Odieu Hiliare
Waived (with injury designation): TE Tucker Fisk

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed: WR Alex Bachman

New York Jets

Signed: TE Kevin Foelsch
Released: QB Colby Suits

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: DL Earnest Brown IV
Released: RB Patrick Laird

Earnest Brown was a fifth-round pick by the Rams back in 2021. He collected 14 tackles in 12 games through his first two seasons in Los Angeles, but he didn’t get into a single game with the big-league club during the 2023 campaign. He wasn’t retained via a futures contract this offseason, allowing him to catch on with the 49ers. He was waived by San Francisco earlier this month.

He’ll be taking the roster spot previously held by Patrick Laird, who spent the past two seasons on Tampa Bay’s practice squad. The former UDFA previously got into 37 games for the Dolphins between 2019 and 2021, collecting 533 yards from scrimmage. The Buccaneers added a pair of undrafted running backs in D.J. Williams and Ramon Jefferson, so the team may prefer to opt for a rookie on the taxi squad.

Following the Saturday slate of games, we still have four more games this week. Here are the minor moves leading up to the three Sunday games on Christmas Day:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed to active roster: DL Michael Dogbe
Promoted from practice squad: WR Pharoh Cooper, CB Nate Hairston
Placed on IR: CB Byron Murphy

Denver Broncos

Activated from IR: RB Chase Edmonds
Promoted from practice squad: OLB Wyatt Ray, CB Lamar Jackson

Los Angeles Rams

Signed to active roster: DE Earnest Brown IV
Promoted from practice squad: DB T.J. Carter, DE Brayden Thomas
Placed on IR: LB Jake Gervase

Miami Dolphins

Promoted from practice squad: OT Kendall Lamm, WR Braylon Sanders

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed to active roster: S Elijah Riley
Released: CB Josh Jackson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Promoted from practice squad: LB J.J. Russell, T Justin Skule

Murphy has missed the last five games for the Cardinals while dealing with a back issue, so while it’s not necessarily a further setback for Arizona, the transaction indicates that Murphy will miss the rest of the season before going into free agency. With Murphy absent, the Cardinals have started veteran Antonio Hamilton across from Marco Wilson.

Since losing starting running back Javonte Williams to injured reserve and waiving Melvin Gordon, the Broncos have utilized a combination of Marlon Mack, Latavius Murray, and a pinch of Edmonds. Edmonds was sent to Denver in a trade that sent star pass rusher Bradley Chubb to Miami. He only recorded four rushing attempts in two games with the Broncos before being placed on IR with an ankle injury. Edmonds will return to help back up Murray and Mack in the team’s final three games of the season.

Rams Reduce Roster To 53 Players

August 30th, 2022 at 8:42pm CST by Ben Levine

As the Rams look to defend their Super Bowl title, the team reduced their roster to the 53-man limit today:

Jacob Harris getting cut came as a bit of a surprise after the 2021 fourth-round pick got into nine games as a rookie. However, he rarely got a look on offense in 2021, and despite the Rams only rostering two tight ends at the end of the day (Tyler Higbee, Brycen Hopkins), Harris was let go. Chris Garrett was also a 2021 draft pick, being selected by the Rams in the seventh round. He only got into one game as a rook.

AJ Arcuri was a seventh-round pick in this year’s draft, but the rookie didn’t show enough to crack the 53-man roster. There’s a good chance the Michigan State product lands back on the Rams practice squad.
