Today’s minor moves:

Houston Texans

Reverted to IR: WR Jaxon Janke
Reverted to NFI: OL LaDarius Henderson

Miami Dolphins

Placed on PUP: LB Bradley Chubb, LB Cameron Goode, LB Jaelan Phillips, OL Isaiah Wynn
Placed on NFI: RB Salvon Ahmed

New York Jets

Placed on PUP: RB Nick Bawden, DL Leonard Taylor, WR Mike Williams
Placed on NFI: WR Tyler Harrell, QB Jordan Travis

Seattle Seahawks

Placed on PUP: LB Jerome Baker, CB Lance Boykin, LB Tyrel Dodson, RT Abe Lucas, S Jerrick Reed II, LB Drake Thomas, NT Cameron Young
Placed on NFI: G Anthony Bradford, LB Easton Gibbs, CB D.J. James, CB Nehemiah Pritchett, WR Dee Williams

As a reminder, players who land on the physically unable to perform list or the non-football injury list can be activated at any time during training camp or the preseason. If players remain on either of those two lists following initial 53-man rosters, they’ll be forced to sit out the first four games of the 2024 season.

While the majority of the Dolphins’ injuries were expected, Isaiah Wynn‘s placement on PUP is a bit of a surprise. The offensive lineman continues to recover from a quadriceps injury that ended his 2023 campaign in October, but his rehab is apparently taking longer than expected. After mostly playing offensive tackle to begin his career, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says the former first-round pick is expected to be the “front-runner” at left guard once he’s healthy enough to see the field. Jackson also passed along that Salvon Ahmed‘s issue isn’t related to his season-ending foot injury from last season and is a result of a “minor medical issue.” The RB is firmly on the roster bubble heading into training camp.

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/28/23

December 28th, 2023 at 6:31pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor moves:

Buffalo Bills

Waived: OL Germain Ifedi

Carolina Panthers

Signed off 49ers practice squad: OT Ilm Manning

Cleveland Browns

Promoted: P Matt Haack, K Riley Patterson

Detroit Lions

Waived: DB Chase Lucas, LB Trevor Nowaske

Jacksonville Jaguars

Reverted to IR: CB Christian Braswell

New York Jets

Promoted: RB Nick Bawden, DT Bruce Hector

Germain Ifedi‘s underwhelming stint with the Bills has come to an end. The veteran offensive lineman joined the Bills this past offseason and was expected to provide some experienced depth. Instead, Ifedi was inactive for every game this season, and the Bills have decided his roster spot could be put to better use. ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg believes this move will likely open a spot for defensive tackle DaQuan Jones.

Saturday’s gameday elevations and other minor moves around the league:

Signed to active roster: TE Tucker Fisk
Elevated: P Pat O’Donnell, OL John Leglue

Buffalo Bills

Cleveland Browns

Elevated: S Tanner McCalister, LB Charlie Thomas

Dallas Cowboys

Elevated: DT Carl Davis, RB Malik Davis

Denver Broncos

Elevated: QB Ben DiNucci, OLB Ronnie Perkins

Detroit Lions

Elevated: K Michael Badgley (story), TE Anthony Firkser

Green Bay Packers

Elevated: WR Bo Melton, S Benny Sapp

Indianapolis Colts

Elevated: WR Ethan Fernea

Miami Dolphins

Elevated: CB Ethan Bonner, OLB Melvin Ingram

Minnesota Vikings

Elevated: WR Lucky Jackson, CB Jaylin Williams

New York Jets

Elevated: FB Nick Bawden, LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: CB Kelvin Joseph, S Ty Okada

Tennessee Titans

DB Shyheim Carter, CB Tay Gowan

Washington Commanders

Elevated: LS Tucker Addington, OL Nolan Laufenberg

The Bills will not have depth running back Ty Johnson available for tonight’s game, leading to the decision to elevate Fournette. The former Super Bowl champion will thus make his Buffalo debut, although with lead back James Cook in the lineup, Fournette will likely not receive many looks on offense. The latter has already returned a kickoff for the first time in his career, however.

Signed to the Dolphins’ practice squad last week, Ingram will also make his 2023 debut in Week 16. The 34-year-old last played during his Miami stint in 2022, during which time he started three games and recorded six sacks. With Jaelan Phillips out for the year, Ingram will look to once again give the Dolphins a rotational presence off the edge.

The journeyman has spent time with six different squads since going undrafted out of South Carolina in 2018. He got into 32 games with the Colts between 2020 and 2021, collecting 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks.

Jets Set 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 6:05pm CST by Ben Levine

The Jets have been in the limelight all offseason, and some of their lesser-known players have earned attention following the team’s participation in HBO’s Hard Knocks. The team had to move on from many of those unheralded players today, as the organization reduced their roster to 53 players:

Released:

FB Nick Bawden
QB Tim Boyle
LB Samuel Eguavoen
WR Alex Erickson
DL Bruce Hector
DL Jalyn Holmes
S Craig James
P Thomas Morstead
OL Adam Pankey
OL Greg Senat
DL Tanzel Smart
DL Pita Taumeopenu
WR Malik Taylor
LB Nick Vigil

Waived:

DL Deslin Alexandre
LB Claudin Cherelus
C Trystan Colon
S Trey Dean
RB Travis Dye
OL Chris Glaser
OL Grant Hermanns
TE E.J. Jenkins
LB Caleb Johnson
WR Jerome Kapp
RB Zonovan Knight
TE Zack Kuntz
OL Brent Laing
CB Derrick Langford
WR TJ Luther
CB Nehemiah Shelton
DL Marquiss Spencer
S Marquis Waters

Zonovan Knight made a name for himself as an UDFA in 2022. The running back was thrust into the Jets starting lineup, and he ultimately started four of his seven appearances. The RB finished the season with 400 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 98 touches. With Dalvin Cook added to a deep RBs depth chart, Knight seemed like a long shot to make the final roster.

Tim Boyle has bounced around the NFL a bit, but his only starting experience came with the Lions in 2021. The quarterback spent the 2022 campaign in Chicago, completing two of his eight pass attempts. It was uncertain if the Jets would keep three QBs on the roster, but the team appears content with just Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson at the position.
