A day after adding Velus Jones and releasing Myles Gaskin, the Seahawks have reversed course. Gaskin had more than 600 rushing yards with the Dolphins back in 2021, but he’s been limited to 26 rushing yards in seven total games since that season. Jones got into five games with the Saints earlier this year, with the majority of his snaps coming on special teams.

Khalil Herbert‘s free agency stay will end, and the former Bears starting running back is headed for a fourth team in 11 months. The Seahawks are adding Herbert to their practice squad, NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo tweets.
The Seahawks played without Zach Charbonnet in Week 3, and Kenneth Walker has dealt with a few injury issues during his four-year career. Herbert will supply Seattle some insurance, joining a team that rosters former UDFAs George Holani and Jacardia Wright as active-roster reserves.
Traded from the Bears to the Bengals at last year’s deadline, Herbert spent training camp with the Colts but did not earn a roster spot behind Jonathan Taylor. Herbert signed with Indianapolis early in free agency; despite his experience, the former sixth-round pick could not earn the RB2 role with the AFC South club. The Colts added Herbert to their practice squad following his release but replaced him with Ameer Abdullah a day later.
Herbert worked out for the Seahawks today, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, who adds Brandon Bolden and Myles Gaskin also took part in the Seattle audition. Herbert had been on the workout circuit for a bit, drawing interest from a few teams — including the Commanders — to open this season.
The Bolden part of this news is interesting, as the ex-Patriots mainstay is now 35 and was out of football last season. The 11-year veteran, a Patriots UDFA back in 2012, would be the NFL’s oldest active running back if he catches on with a team this season. Primarily a special-teamer who had followed Josh McDaniels from New England to Las Vegas, Bolden has just 304 career carries — helping to explain his NFL staying power. Herbert has 400 despite entering the NFL nine years later.
While Bolden played out his Raiders contract after the 2023 season, Herbert’s Bears rookie deal wrapped in Cincinnati. Chicago dealt the ex-David Montgomery sidekick to Cincy for a 2025 seventh-round pick. That trade came to pass after Zack Moss‘ season-ending neck injury, but Chase Brown took over as a three-down player and kept Herbert as a clear backup. Herbert logged only 28 carries in eight Bengals games, gaining 114 yards. This came after the Bears phased him out following the D’Andre Swift signing.
Herbert fared better earlier in his career, eclipsing 600 rushing yards in 2022 and ’23. He and Montgomery helped Justin Fields oversee a top-ranked rushing attack in 2022. Gaining a career-high 731 rushing yards that year, Herbert averaged 5.7 per tote. He started nine games in 2023 — after Montgomery’s Detroit defection — and gained 611 yards (4.6 YPC). The 27-year-old’s upward mobility will presumably be tied to Walker and Charbonnet’s availability.
Every year, the Ravens are one of the last teams to announce their roster moves to get down to 53 players. Finally, via a team press release, Baltimore’s initial 53-man roster is set with the following transactions:
Placed on reserve/NFI
Placed on reserve/PUP
The Ravens opted to keep tight end Isaiah Likely on the 53-man roster after his recent foot surgery, indicating that the team expects him back in the first four weeks of the regular season.
Armour-Davis is Baltimore’s most surprising cut. The 2022 fourth-round pick struggled with injuries across the first few years of his career, but had a solid training camp. Baltimore opted to keep undrafted rookie Keyon Martin instead after an impressive showing in the preseason.
Brade, who made the 53-man roster as a UDFA last year, was beaten out by undrafted rookie Reuben Lowery for the Ravens’ fourth safety spot. Brade, a former University of Maryland standout, is expected to return to the practice squad if he clears waivers, per KRPC2’s Aaron Wilson.
Baltimore is also hoping to bring Lichtenhan, a 6-f0ot-8, 328-pound offensive tackle, back on their practice squad if he sneaks through waivers, according to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz.
Urban will likely re-sign to the Ravens practice squad on Wednesday in a handshake deal after being cut from the active roster.
Isaac and Wade suffered injuries late in training camp and will have to spend the first four weeks of the season on injured reserve. Isaac’s IR placement cleared a spot for David Ojabo to make the roster despite appearing to be on the bubble in the preseason.
Jones has been dealing with a mysterious shoulder injury that required surgery earlier this year. He has yet to hit the practice field as a Raven and will be sidelined for at least four more weeks to start the season.
Saturday’s minor moves around the NFL:
Baltimore Ravens
Jacksonville Jaguars
Los Angeles Chargers
San Francisco 49ers
Gaskin worked out for Baltimore on Saturday, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. The 28-year-old is far removed from his most productive days, which came with the Dolphins. Since the start of the 2022 season, Gaskin has handled just 13 carries. He will offer the Ravens depth in the backfield through their two remaining preseason games.
One week ago, the Jags signed Wallace in a move which allowed him to compete for a depth spot in their secondary. The 30-year-old has 96 appearances and 72 starts to his name, but an injury has quickly ended his chances of making Jacksonville’s roster. White was waived when Wallace arrived, so he will simply continue in his bid to earn a special teams role ahead of roster cutdowns later this month.
NFL teams are continuing to adjust their rosters to weather injuries and add depth with preseason games kicking off later this week. Here are the latest minor moves from around the league:
Buffalo Bills
Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers
Houston Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Los Angeles Chargers
Miami Dolphins
Minnesota Vikings
New England Patriots
New York Giants
Seattle Seahawks
The Lions’ additions were likely a result of a shoulder injury to second-year cornerback Ennis Rakestraw. Head coach Dan Campbell said (via team writer Tim Twentyman) that “it’s going to be a while, at best” until Rakestraw returns to the field.
Ballentine returns to Green Bay, where he spent the last three seasons, after a brief stint in Indianapolis this offseason. He started six games and played 488 snaps for the Packers in 2023, but primarily contributed on special teams in 2022 and 2024.
The Giants are dealing with a number of injuries in their running back room, per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan. Only Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, and Darius Miller are healthy, and the first two may not play much in the preseason. New York worked out a number of running backs on Monday, including Myles Gaskin and Isaiah Spiller (via KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson), but Ward impressed enough to join the squad moving forward.
Finley went down with a knee injury at training camp that is believed to be serious, pending additional tests, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson. Triner, meanwhile, will fill in for Seahawks third-year long snapper Chris Stoll, who is dealing with a back issue, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.

Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins has made just 64.0% of his field goal attempts this season, which includes two misses from inside 40 yards. Patterson kicked for Cleveland when Hopkins was injured at the end of last season, and his addition to the practice squad indicates that head coach Kevin Stefanski is considering a similar change this year.
The Titans signed Narveson as insurance for starter Nick Folk, who is dealing with an injury, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Narveson began the season as the Packers’ kicker, but after missing five of his 12 field goal attempts, all of which came inside of 50 yards.
