Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Dallas Cowboys

Activated from IR: CB Nahshon Wright
Signed to active roster: LB Tyrus Wheat
Elevated: RB Malik Davis, LB Malik Jefferson
Placed on IR: CB C.J. Goodwin (story)

Los Angeles Chargers

Elevated: WR Keelan Doss

New Orleans Saints

Activated from reserve/suspended by commissioner: QB Jake Haener
Waived: QB Jake Luton

New York Giants

Waived: G Jalen Mayfield

Washington Commanders

Released from IR: TE Kaden Smith

The Cowboys are bringing in some reinforcements after having to place linebacker Leighton Vander Esch on IR this week. The Chargers are bringing up Doss as a standard gameday elevation, as well, with Mike Williams, Simi Fehoko, and Jalen Guyton all out tonight.

Haener, the Saints’ rookie fourth-round passer, started his NFL career on a six-game suspension due to a violation of the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy. With Haener adding another arm to the bullpen, Luton became expendable but may find a spot on the team’s practice squad.

Cowboys Sign Nahshon Wright

July 21st, 2021 at 9:23am CST by Zachary Links

The Cowboys have officially signed third-round cornerback Nahshon Wright, per a club announcement. The Oregon State product will earn $4.8MM over the course of his four-year deal, in accordance with his slot.

Wright, taken No. 99 overall, notched 64 tackles, five interceptions, one sack, and one forced fumble over the course of his collegiate career. He started out at Laney College, a community college in Oakland, CA, before transferring to Oregon State in 2019. Between his late arrival to the Beavers and the pandemic, he’s seen just one year of Division-I action.

Many analysts didn’t have Wright as a third-round prospect, but Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn saw him as a perfect fit for his scheme. Standing at 6’4″, he definitely has the length to cover taller receivers at the pro level. Now, he’ll try to carve out a role behind Jourdan Lewis, Trevon Diggs, and second-round pick Kelvin Joseph.

With Wright in the fold, defensive end Chauncey Golston stands as the last straggler. However, that deal should be just around the corner, according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News (Twitter link).
