NFL Practice Squad Updates: 12/18/25
Today’s practice squad moves:
Carolina Panthers
- Signed: LB Jamil Muhammad
Houston Texans
- Signed: S Kaevon Merriweather
Los Angeles Chargers
- Signed: TE Tanner McLachlan
- Released: C Josh Kaltenberger
New Orleans Saints
- Signed: WR Elijah Cooks, RB Nyheim Miller-Hines
New York Giants
- Signed: TE Tanner Conner
With Devin Neal landing on IR today and Alvin Kamara still sidelined with a sprained MCL, the Saints have added a veteran running back to their practice squad. Nyheim Miller-Hines was released by the Bills after missing the 2023 campaign following a watercraft accident, and the RB has bounced around the league since. He spent most of the 2024 campaign in Cleveland, and he spent the first chunk of the 2025 season with the Chargers, appearing in two games.
The former fourth-round pick made a name for himself as a pass catcher with the Colts, including a pair of seasons where he hauled in 60-plus receptions. While he may eventually work his way to the Saints active roster, he may be hard pressed to pass the likes of Audric Estime and Evan Hull on the depth chart.
NFL Practice Squad Updates: 11/17/25
Today’s practice squad moves:
Los Angeles Rams
- Released: LB Jamil Muhammad
New England Patriots
- Signed: LB Otis Reese
- Placed on IR: LB Darius Harris
The Patriots are shaking up their linebacker corps after Darius Harris landed on the practice squad IR today. The veteran got into three games with the big-league club in 2025, collecting four tackles while playing exclusively on special teams. Harris had a four-year stint with the Chiefs to begin his career, including a 2022 campaign where he tallied 43 tackles and 1.5 sacks. To take his place on the taxi squad, the Patriots added Otis Reese, who got his NFL start playing under Mike Vrabel in Tennessee. The Ole Miss product got into 20 games with the Titans between 2023 and 2024, collecting 38 stops.
Wednesday NFL Transactions: NFC West
Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline Tuesday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters. In addition to waiver claims, teams can begin constructing their 16-man practice squads today. These 49ers, Cardinals, Rams and Seahawks moves are noted below.

Rams Cut Derion Kendrick, Move To 53
Here is how the Rams trimmed their roster to 53 by today’s deadline:
Released:
- CB A.J. Green
Waived/injured:
- CB Shaun Jolly ·
- OL Willie Lampkin
Waived:
- OL A.J. Arcuri
- OL Wyatt Bowles
- WR Tru Edwards
- DT Jack Heflin
- S Tanner Ingle
- CB Derion Kendrick
- CB Cam Lampkin
- OL Dylan McMahon
- OLB Jamil Muhammad
- ILB Elias Neal
- DL Bill Norton
- ILB Chris Paul Jr.
- WR Brennan Presley
- RB Ronnie Rivers
- RB Cody Schrader
- S Nate Valcarcel
- CB Charles Woods
- WR Britain Covey
- OLB Brennan Jackson
- TE Mark Redman
- WR Drake Stoops
- WR Jordan Waters
Previously a Kyren Williams backup, Rivers had been on the Rams’ 53-man roster throughout last season, playing in all 17 games for the team. But the team drafted Jarquez Hunter in the fourth round this year. Hunter joins Williams and 2024 third-round pick Blake Corum in a three-man backfield currently.
Kendrick started 18 games between 2022 and ’23, re-signing with the Rams in June. In between, however, the young cornerback suffered an ACL tear that sidetracked his career. Kendrick went down in July 2024. The Rams already waived Kendrick and then re-signed him, making it possible they will opt to continue this relationship via a practice squad offer. Sixteen players comprise modern NFL P-squads, but Kendrick being cut is certainly step back for a player who saw a 76% defensive snap rate during his most recent healthy season.
Rams Announce 17 UDFA Signings
Los Angeles didn’t have many draft picks, checking in with only six drafted rookies after trading out of the first round, so they’ve added a large contingent of undrafted players to form a 23-man rookie class. Here are the 17 UDFA signings:
- Wyatt Bowles, G (Utah State)
- Malik Dixon-Williams, S (UConn)
- Shaun Dolac, LB (Buffalo)
- Ben Dooley, G (Boise State)
- Tru Edwards, WR (Louisiana Tech)
- Willie Lampkin, C (North Carolina)
- Jamil Muhammad, OLB (USC)
- Bill Norton, DT (Texas)
- Josh Pearcy, OLB (Rice)
- Brennan Presley, WR (Oklahoma State)
- Mark Redman, TE (Louisville)
- Da’Jon Terry, DT (Oklahoma)
- Anthony Torres, TE (Toledo)
- Nate Valcarcel, S (Northern Illinois)
- Jordan Waters, RB (NC State)
- Trey Wedig, T (Indiana)
- Mario Williams, WR (Tulane)
The biggest of these additions probably come on the offensive line with Lampkin and Wedig. After starting three seasons at Coastal Carolina (two at left guard and one at center), Lampkin transferred to Chapel Hill. In his first season with the Tar Heels, he started eight games at right guard, two at left guard, and one at center before starting 12 games at right guard in 2024 with first-team All-ACC honors. His versatility gives him value at multiple interior positions for the Rams, but their listing him at center likely means they see the most value for him there.
Wedig was another transfer, earning the starting right tackle job at Indiana after spending four years at Wisconsin. He found some starting time with the Badgers in his redshirt sophomore season, starting five games at right tackle, two at right guard, and one at left guard, but he lost first-team duties the following year. He didn’t earn any accolades as a Hoosier, but he attended the East-West Shrine Bowl where he stood out and likely earned himself this NFL opportunity.
On defense, Dolac continues to prove he belongs despite the value that is assigned to him. Dolac walked on as a freshman at Buffalo, playing minimal time. He earned a scholarship as a sophomore starting two games and notching 1.5 sacks and 6.0 tackles for loss. He started all 13 games in 2022, totaling 147 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks, before missing eight games with a shoulder injury the following year. He returned for a fifth season (granted due to COVID-19) and started all 13 games once again, showing up all over the field and stat sheet with 168 total tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, 10 passes defensed, and five interceptions — all career highs. Once again, he’ll come into a new situation itching to prove he belongs in Los Angeles.
