NFL Practice Squad Updates: 10/10/22

October 10th, 2022 at 8:50pm CST by Ely Allen

Today’s practice squad moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: TE Maxx Williams
Released: WR C.J. Board

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: DT Kobe Smith
Released: DT Christopher Hinton

Buffalo Bills

Signed: S Jared Mayden
Released: CB Ja’Marcus Ingram

Cleveland Browns

Released: QB Josh Rosen

Denver Broncos

Released: TE Dominique Dafney

Houston Texans

Signed: KC McDermott

Miami Dolphins

Signed: CB Tino Ellis, DT Jaylen Twyman
Released: CB Chris Steele, DT Markaviest Bryant

New York Giants

Signed: WR Robert Foster

Rosen’s short stint with the sixth NFL franchise of his career has come to an end, for now. Rosen joined the Browns in the offseason and battled with Joshua Dobbs and Kellen Mond for backup positions behind temporary starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett while Deshaun Watson fulfills his 11-game suspension. Rosen lost out to Dobbs and Mond, eventually signing on to Cleveland’s practice squad, where he’s stayed until now. Rosen will likely continue to search for a team that he fits with, since he does not have to clear waivers as a vested veteran. It may behoove him to contact two teams he has a history with as both San Francisco and Miami have suffered injuries in their quarterback rooms.

Eagles Finalize 53-Man Roster

August 30th, 2022 at 10:52pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here is how the Eagles reached the 53-man limit Tuesday:

Released:

The Eagles added two veteran receivers this offseason, with one of them (A.J. Brown) bumping Jalen Reagor down the depth chart. Zach Pascal, who has played for Nick Sirianni previously (in Indianapolis), may also be a factor. But the Eagles, despite their moves at receiver and offseason trade rumors that engulfed Reagor, still have the 2020 first-round pick rostered. The TCU product is also coming off a solid preseason.

Howie Roseman said the Eagles, who have two QBs on their active roster, are planning to add a third — either a practice squad arm or a legit third-stringer — soon, and The Athletic’s Zach Berman and Bo Wulf note running back remains on the radar. The team kept three — Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell — but Sanders has been dealing with a hamstring injury.

Philadelphia’s receiver setup and a long football layoff did not leave much room for Allen, who has a rather notable career on which to fall back. A two-time U.S. Olympian in the 110-meter hurdles, Allen came to Eagles training camp after a controversial false-start infraction denied the medal favorite the opportunity to vie for gold on his home track at the World Track and Field Championships. The Oregon alum, whose 12.84-second time at a meet this summer is the third-fastest clocking ever in the 110 hurdles, caught a deep touchdown during the preseason but may well move back to his primary sport soon.

Ward became needed during the Eagles’ injury-plagued receiver seasons of 2019 and ’20; he caught 53 passes in the latter campaign. The ex-college QB was not used as much last season, catching seven balls in 17 games. The Eagles kept three rookie UDFAs (cornerback Josh Jobe, safety Reed Blankenship and offensive lineman Josh Sills).

Buccaneers Reduce Roster To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 5:46pm CST by Ben Levine

The defending Super Bowl champs made a long list of moves today to get down to the 53-man roster limit. The Buccaneers made the following transactions:

Waived

T Jake Benzinger
WR Cyril Grayson
S Javon Hagan
OLB Ladarius Hamilton
G Jonathan Hubbard
TE Tanner Hudson
WR Travis Jonsen
TE Codey McElroy
CB Herb Miller
OLB Elijah Ponder
DL Benning Potoa’e
DL Kobe Smith

Released

TE Jerell Adams
QB Ryan Griffin
CB Antonio Hamilton
ILB Joe Jones
DL Jeremiah Ledbetter
WR Jaydon Mickens
RB C.J. Prosise

Placed on reserve/PUP list

WR Justin Watson

Griffin had been with the Buccaneers organization since the 2015 season, but he’s only seen time in a pair of games. After winning a ring last season, the veteran re-signed with the organization this offseason. For the time being, Blaine Gabbert and rookie Kyle Trask will serve as Tom Brady‘s backups.

Mickens is another notable cut, as the 27-year-old served as one of Tampa Bay’s primary return men in 2020. Mickens finished the campaign with 16 punt returns for 99 yards and 14 kick returns for 340 yards.
