Jordon Riley - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/3/25

December 3rd, 2025 at 6:42pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s midweek minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Designated for return from IR: DL L.J. Collier
Signed to active roster: TE Pharaoh Brown

Atlanta Falcons

Reverted to season-ending IR: LB Malik Verdon

Cincinnati Bengals

Designated for return from IR: LB Shaka Heyward

Green Bay Packers

Signed off Giants’ practice squad: DT Jordon Riley

Houston Texans

Signed to active roster: DE Solomon Byrd

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed to active roster: DE Matt Dickerson

Kansas City Chiefs

Signed to active roster: T Esa Pole

Los Angeles Chargers

Designated for return from IR: RB Hassan Haskins

Minnesota Vikings

Designated for return from IR: RB Ty Chandler

New Orleans Saints

Signed to active roster: WR Dante Pettis, G William Sherman

New York Jets

Designated for return from IR: LB Cam Jones

Pittsburgh Steelers

Designated for return from IR: CB Donte Kent

Collier signed with Arizona after injuries and a failure to live up to his first-round draft stock led to his departure from Seattle. He earned a starting role with his new team, but after his first game for the Cardinals, he was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a bicep injury. He worked his way back to health and started 15 of 17 game appearances last year, but his struggles on the line led to a team reunion with Calais Campbell and the drafting of Walter Nolen in the first round. Collier was working as a depth piece before getting placed on IR back in September, and if he can get back to the active roster, he’ll add to the line’s depth, once again.

As a rookie, Verdon was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list to start the season. The undrafted linebacker had been designated to return from the reserve/NFI list, but now that his 21-day practice window has come and gone without an activation, he moves to IR.

Pharaoh in Arizona, Dickerson in Duval, and Pettis in New Orleans all had used up their three standard gameday practice squad elevations. If their respective teams wanted to see them play in any more games this season, a move to the 53-man roster was necessary.

Giants Move Down To 53

August 26th, 2025 at 5:59pm CST by Sam Robinson

Following the Tommy DeVito cut, here are the moves the Giants made to trim their roster to 53:

Released:

Waived:

WR Dalen Cambre
DL Elijah Chatman
TE Greg Dulcich
DL Cory Durden
OLB Trace Ford
OLB Tomon Fox
DL Elijah Garcia
C Bryan Hudson
G Jake Kubas
S Raheem Layne
K Jude McAtamney
RB Dante Miller
C Jimmy Morrissey
S Makari Paige
DL Jordon Riley
WR Juice Wells
CB Dee Williams

Waived/injured:

Placed on reserve/PUP list:

OLB Victor Dimukeje
RB Eric Gray

Placed on IR (return designation):

OL Joshua Ezeudu

Two years after winning a starting job as a rookie (and forcing Adoree’ Jackson into a brief slot CB sojourn), Hawkins is off the Giants’ roster. He joins Dulcich as notable players waived today. Dulcich came over via waivers from the Broncos midway through last season. The Giants have been light at tight end since Darren Waller‘s retirement, but they now have starter Theo Johnson back after a season-ending injury. Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz and seventh-round rookie Thomas Fidone made the team over Dulcich.

Forsythe came over from the Seahawks on a one-year, $1.34MM deal, doing so after having started 13 games between the 2023 and ’24 seasons. The Giants gave more money (two years, $12MM) to James Hudson to be their swing tackle, while fifth-round rookie Marcus Mbow has been working at tackle as well. Evan Neal is also an option at tackle, though the demoted RT has been working at guard for months.

Ezeudu will count toward the Giants’ in-season injury activation total, reducing that number from eight to seven. The former third-round pick has been out for a few weeks after being carted off the practice field early in camp. The Giants view Ezeudu as likely to return, however. This is the North Carolina product’s contract year.

Teams can officially begin setting their 16-man practice squads starting at 11am CT Wednesday. The Giants have a few candidates from this bunch to stay, with a decent percentage of the above contingent under consideration to stay. Kabas is one, per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, who adds Miller is another. Paige is viewed as a candidate for New York’s P-squad as well, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Ward is a vested veteran and can determine his future earlier, but Wilson adds the reserve RB is a taxi squad candidate.
