NFL Practice Squad Updates: 10/14/25

October 14th, 2025 at 7:55pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s practice squad moves:

Baltimore Ravens

Buffalo Bills

Cleveland Browns

Denver Broncos

  • Signed: G Karsen Barnhart, LB Garrett Nelson

Green Bay Packers

  • Released: K Mark McNamee

Indianapolis Colts

  • Signed: OT Bayron Matos, QB Brett Rypien
  • Released: OT Marcellus Johnson

Las Vegas Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers

New England Patriots

  • Signed: TE Marshall Lang
  • Released: DB Tyron Herring, TE Gee Scott Jr.

Philadelphia Eagles

San Francisco 49ers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Washington Commanders

  • Released: G Tyler Cooper

With Anthony Richardson heading to injured reserve with an eye injury, the Colts are set to add some QB depth in veteran Brett Rypien, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The 29-year-old brings four games of starting experience to Indy, with his most recent start coming with the Rams in 2023. In total, Rypien has completed 58.3 percent of his career passes for 950 yards, four touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Riley Leonard will temporarily be the QB2 behind Daniel Jones, but there’s a chance Rypien eventually works his way up to the active roster.

The Chargers moved on from a notable edge defender today in Clelin Ferrell. The former Raiders first-round pick started all 17 games for the 49ers just two years ago, with the edge rusher finishing that campaign with 3.5 sacks and 13 QB hits. He started 10 of his 14 appearances with the Commanders in 2024, adding another 3.5 sacks to his resume. After being among Washington’s final preseason cuts, Ferrell caught on with the Chargers practice squad and ended up getting into one game with the big-league club.

The Eagles moved on from a pair of skill players today. Audric Estime was a fifth-round pick by the Broncos last year, with the running back compiling 337 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 81 touches. He was waived by Denver back in August and landed on Philly’s practice squad. Javon Baker was a fourth-round pick by the Patriots in last year’s draft, but he was limited to a single catch in 11 games.

Dolphins Set 53-Man Roster, Begin Search For Kicker

August 26th, 2025 at 9:39pm CST by Ely Allen

The Dolphins got their roster down to 53 players this afternoon and, in the process, officially placed kicker Jason Sanders on IR. Here are the rest of the team’s moves:

Released:

Waived:

Waived/injured:

Waived (with injury settlement):

Placed on IR (designated for return):

Placed on reserve/PUP:

In four seasons with the team, Eichenberg has started at every position on the offensive line. The Dolphins will miss his versatility while he’s out, but head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed recently that Eichenberg’s injury is not a season-ending one.

Sanders’ hip injury landed him on injured reserve, meaning Miami will be without him for at least the first month of the season. To deal with his absence, the Dolphins hosted four veteran kickers — Zane Gonzalez, Greg Joseph, Riley Patterson, and Eddy Pineiro — for tryouts today, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Besides that, there weren’t many surprises in the cuts today. Tindall had been a core special teamer for each of his first three years in Miami but may have to find his way to the field through the practice squad. According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Murphy had a really strong summer with the team and should be back on the practice squad, as long as he clears waivers.

Dolphins Sign 15 Undrafted Free Agents

May 13th, 2025 at 1:39pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

After making eight picks during the 2025 NFL Draft, the Dolphins have added another 15 undrafted rookies to their roster. Here are Miami’s UDFA signings:

  • Andrew Armstrong, WR (Arkansas)
  • John Saunders Jr., S (Mississippi)
  • Nate Noel, RB (Missouri)
  • BJ Adams, CB (UCF)
  • Ethan Robinson, CB (Minnesota)
  • Jalin Conyers, TE (Texas Tech)
  • Monaray Baldwin, WR (Baylor)
  • Eugene Asante, LB (Auburn)
  • Tedi Kushi, OL (Western Michigan)
  • Addison West, OL (Western Michigan)
  • Josh Priebe, OL (Michigan)
  • Theo Wease Jr., WR (Missouri)
  • AJ Henning, WR (Northwestern)
  • Tre’vonn Rybka, DT (Kentucky)
  • Alex Huntley, DT (South Carolina)

Armstrong broke out as a sophomore at East Texas A&M in 2022 with 62 catches for 1,020 yards and 13 touchdowns, albeit against FCS competition. He transferred to Arkansas, but took a step back in 2023 as he adjusted to SEC play before bouncing back in 2024 with a conference-high 1,140 receiving yards. He has NFL potential as a possession receiver with a 6-foot-4 frame, strong hands, and the know-how to use those traits to win at the catch point. The 24-year-old had solid speed and agility testing at the Combine and his pro day, but lack burst and quickness as a route-runner. Armstrong brings some size that the Dolphins’ receiver room currently lacks outside of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, but he’ll have to improve his play in the red zone (just one touchdown in 2024) and on special teams to make the roster.

Wease also offers appealing size with a 6-foot-2, 210-pound frame, but he didn’t reach 1,000 receiving yards in any of his six seasons (four at Oklahoma, two at Missouri). He’s a middling athlete who doesn’t play with the physicality his size would suggest, but he’s a solid route runner whose length shows up at the catch point. Wease’s deal with the Dolphins includes $249k in guaranteed money, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson.

The Dolphins are undermanned at cornerback, especially if they follow through on their plan to trade Jalen Ramsey. They waited until the fifth round to draft one, so Adams and Robinson should have a chance to make the roster. Adams has good height and length that he deploys in press coverage at the line of scrimmage, but that didn’t translate into much ball production at UCF (13 passes defended, two interceptions in 29 career starts). He’ll need to develop his unrefined coverage technique to make up for his lack of elite movement skills, but his frame and special teams experience make him a developmental 53-man roster candidate. Robinson spent his first three years at Bucknell before transferring to Minnesota. He made a smooth transition from FCS with an honorable mention All-Big 10 selection in 2024. He has a natural feel as a playmaker in coverage (24 passes defended and six interceptions in last two years), but his below-average athletic profile will be more challenging to overcome in the NFL.

Conyers is a former multi-sport athlete who thrived as a basketball player in high school. He brings that background to the TE position with short-area quickness, lateral agility, and an ability to make tough, contested catches. He wasn’t especially productive at Arizona State or Texas Tech, but his size and toughness showed up as a blocker, which will be appreciated in the NFL. Conyers’ Combine performance also showed that he has plenty of athleticism to develop as a pass-catcher. The 23-year-old received a $15k signing bonus and $100k in guaranteed salary, per Wilson.
