With the preseason over for 30 of the NFL’s 32 teams, many have begun the process of working their rosters down to the eventual 53-man rosters they will open the season with:

Indianapolis Colts

Waived: WR Tyler Adams, WR Kody Case, G Emil Ekiyor, TE Nick Eubanks, K Lucas Havrisik, TE Michael Jacobson, T Matthew Vanderslice
Released: CB Teez Tabor

Las Vegas Raiders

Placed on IR: RB Brittain Brown, TE Jacob Hollister, WR Isaiah Zuber
Waived/injured: WR Chris Lacy
Waived: CB Isiah Brown, CB Bryce Cosby, DT Doug Costin, LB Isaac Darkangelo, QB Chase Garbers, G Vitaliy Gurman, RB Darwin Thompson

Los Angeles Chargers

Waived: OLB Carlo Kemp, CB Cam Brown

Minnesota Vikings

Waived: LB Wilson Huber, T Jarrid Williams
Released: LB Tanner Vallejo

New England Patriots

Released: DT Carl Davis, CB Rodney Randle
Waived: LB Diego Fagot, S Brad Hawkins, TE Johnny Lumpkin, RB C.J. Marable, CB Quandre Mosely, DT Justus Tavai, OL Micah Vanterpool, TE Scotty Washington, LB Carson Wells

New York Jets

Released: LB Nick Vigil

Pittsburgh Steelers

Waived: WR Aron Cruickshank

San Francisco 49ers

Waived: CB Nate Brooks, OLB LaDarius Hamilton, DE Breeland Speaks, LB Kyahva Tezino, DL Spencer Waege

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: TE Sal Cannella, DE Jordan Ferguson, WR Malik Flowers, CB Benjie Franklin, WR Justin Marshall, CB Chris Steele, RB Wayne Taulapapa

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Waived from IR with injury settlement: CB Don Gardner
Waived: OLB Hamilcar Rashed
Released: LB Ulysees Gilbert

Although never quite reaching the heights of his tenure with the Bengals, Vigil has a history as a strong contributor and potential starter at linebacker. Coming off a season that saw him only play in four games for the Cardinals before getting put on injured reserve, Vigil failed to stick in New York and will need to find his next opportunity elsewhere.

Vallejo’s tenure in Minnesota lasted a short two weeks. The special teams specialist will have to keep searching for his 2023 home.

Here are the minor moves around the league to wrap up the weekend:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: RB Godwin Igwebuike

Buffalo Bills

Waived with injury settlement: CB Cameron Dantzler

Cincinnati Bengals

Placed on IR: T Devin Cochran

Cleveland Browns

Reverted to IR from waived/injured: CB BoPete Keyes

Kansas City Chiefs

Signed: TE Izaiah Gathings, CB Anthony Witherstone
Placed on IR: S Nazeeh Johnson
Waived/injured: LB Isaiah Moore

Los Angeles Rams

Signed: RB Royce Freeman

Miami Dolphins

Activated from PUP: T Isaiah Wynn

New York Giants

Activated from NFI: WR Jamison Crowder
Activated from PUP: WR Sterling Shepard

New York Jets

Activated from PUP: WR Randall Cobb

Pittsburgh Steelers

Placed on reserve/retired list: FB Monte Pottebaum
Waived: T Jarrid Williams

Seattle Seahawks

Activated from PUP: TE Noah Fant

Igwebuike, the former safety-turned-running back, likely won’t have a role in a crowded running backs room that currently includes rookie top-ten pick Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, and Cordarrelle Patterson. He does have some experience on kick return, where he could compete with Patterson and Avery Williams for a role.

The Rams added some quality, experienced depth today in Freeman. While he’s failed to reach the success he found as a primary backup in his first two seasons, Freeman should have plenty of tread on the tires at only 27 years old with minimal usage over the past three years. Behind starter Cam Akers, Los Angeles only has second-year Kyren Williams and rookie sixth-rounder Zach Evans, so bringing in an experienced backup like Freeman should be beneficial.

The Giants add two depth pieces back to their beat-up receiving corps. Getting them back into the fold will be beneficial for training camp. Meanwhile, across the way, new Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will get to work with his old teammate, Cobb, once again.

The retirement of Pottebaum comes as a bit of a shock so early into camp. The Iowa-product was a part of Pittsburgh’s small, seven-man undrafted free agent class this year. Not only that, but heading into camp, Pottebaum was also the only fullback listed on the roster. He was in attendance for the Steelers’ first week of training camp, as well, but now appears to be on his way out. This doesn’t leave Pittsburgh completely high and dry as the team was already exploring the option of utilizing tight end Connor Heyward in a role more similar to what he played in college. Heyward could earn a much larger role in his sophomore season by taking on a few more snaps at fullback.

Minor NFL Transactions: 6/5/23

Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: CB Dylan Mabin, CB Bobby Price

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: CB Breon Borders
Waived: CB Jamal Peters

Denver Broncos

Signed: WR Nick Williams
Waived: RB Damarea Crockett

New England Patriots

Signed: WR Ed Lee

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: RB Darius Hagans, OL Jarrid Williams
Waived: WR Cody Chrest

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: DT Jacob Sykes
Waived: WR C.J. Johnson, DT Forrest Merrill

Borders worked out for the Falcons on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 tweets. This will be team No. 11 for Borders, who is moving toward Josh Johnson journeyman territory — at least for volume. A former Raiders UDFA, Borders played in one game last season — with the Bears — after a 12-game 2021 (in Chicago and Arizona). Borders’ most notable NFL stint came when he started five games for the eventual AFC South champion Titans in 2020. Borders has also caught on with Buffalo, Houston, Jacksonville, Washington, Pittsburgh and Miami.

A 2019 UDFA, Crockett had been with the Broncos since 2020. He served as backfield depth in Denver, but all of his playing time came in 2021 — mostly on special teams. Crockett’s career encountered a speedbump during training camp last year; the Missouri alum suffered a torn ACL.

XFL additions and other post-rookie minicamp moves led to some action on the waiver wire Tuesday. As other teams add talent from the latest XFL effort, here are the latest NFL moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: RB B.J. Baylor

Carolina Panthers

Signed: LB Ayinde Eley, DL Antwuan Jackson, WR Gary Jennings, WR Marquez Stevenson, LB/TE Jordan Thomas
Waived/injured: S Nico Bolden

Cleveland Browns

Signed: CB Chris Westry

Detroit Lions

Signed: K John Parker Romo

Green Bay Packers

Claimed (from Dolphins): T DJ Scaife

Houston Texans

Signed: LB Ian Swenson

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: TE Sammis Reyes
Released: S Deionte Thompson

Los Angeles Rams

Claimed (from Saints): DB Vincent Gray

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: FB Zach Ojile, OL Sam Schlueter

New York Giants

Released from PUP (via injury settlement): S Terrell Burgess

New York Jets

Claimed (from Falcons): CB Javelin Guidry

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed: WR Charleston Rambo
Waived: T Jarrid Williams

Pittsburgh Steelers

Claimed (from Cardinals): DL Manny Jones
Placed on IR: DT Renell Wren

A former 60-meter dash finalist at the U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships, Guidry has bounced around the league. But the Jets are bringing back the young cornerback. Guidry played 28 games for the team from 2020-21. A fellow DB, Westry started two games for the Ravens in 2021; he will relocate to Cleveland.

Jackson, Jennings and Thomas all played in the XFL this season and auditioned for the Panthers at their recent rookie minicamp. The Panthers tried Thomas at both tight end and linebacker over the weekend. Although Thomas played in the most recent XFL effort, he was in Colts camp — under current Panthers HC Frank Reich — in 2021. This is Jennings’ seventh NFL stop. The former Seahawks fourth-round pick has not played in the NFL since his 2019 rookie year in Seattle.

Romo joins a Lions team carrying Michael Badgley as its incumbent kicker. The younger specialist has not yet kicked in an NFL game, but the former Virginia Tech kicker played in the XFL this season, making 17 of 19 field goal tries. This included a 57-yarder.
