Patrick was among the Broncos’ final roster cuts after a Saints trade was discussed. The 30-year-old missed the 2022 and ’23 campaigns due to ACL and Achilles tears, respectively. Patrick did not need to wait long to find a new opportunity, though, quickly landing a practice squad deal with the Lions. He is now positioned make his season debut tomorrow as a complementary option in Detroit’s passing attack.

Olszewski is dealing with a groin injury and he was known to be facing a long-term absence. Today’s move thus comes as no surprise, but it ensures at least a four-week absence. The former All-Pro scored a punt return touchdown with Pittsburgh early last season and added another during his 10-game Giants stretch to close out the year. The team will need to rely on other options in the return game for the time being.

Peterman’s exit leaves two quarterbacks — the two that vied for the starting gig (Gardner Minshew, Aidan O’Connell) — on their 53-man roster. Peterman, however, has been quite resilient in his career. The Bears dropped him last year only to circle back via a practice squad invite. The eighth-year passer also has an extensive past with the Raiders, who rostered him for much of Jon Gruden‘s tenure. Teams have six practice squad slots they can use on vested veterans.

Guyton followed GM Tom Telesco from the Chargers. The ACL tear he suffered early during the 2022 season sidetracked his career, with the former Justin Herbert deep threat — who totaled 959 yards from 2020-21 — catching just 12 passes over the past two seasons. The Raiders kept rookie UDFA Ramel Keyton and third-year UDFA Tyreik McAllister among their six-man receiving corps. Four of the six wideouts on the Raiders’ roster are ex-UDFAs, with only Davante Adams and Tre Tucker being drafted.

The Raiders are using one of their injury activations on Taylor, who arrived via seventh-round pick this year. Elsewhere in the secondary, Webb is off the roster after having previously worked as a three-game starter. This came during Josh McDaniels‘ only full season in charge.

Wednesday’s minor NFL transactions:

Carolina Panthers

Waived: CB Sam Webb

Denver Broncos

Released: WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey

Detroit Lions

Designated to return from IR: CB Khalil Dorsey

Houston Texans

Designated to return from IR: WR Noah Brown

Indianapolis Colts

Signed to active roster: G Ike Boettger

Denver releases Humphrey with the intention of adding him back to the team’s practice squad, filling the spot vacated by wide receiver Michael Bandy yesterday. Plus, with young tight end Greg Dulcich expected to return from injured reserve soon, releasing Humphrey opens up a spot on the active roster.

The Colts’ offensive line has been dealing with a couple injuries, so bringing in Boettger will help improve the line’s depth a bit. Boettger, a former undrafted free agent, spent the first five years of his career in Buffalo. He spent much of that time as a backup but did start 17 games in a two-year stretch from 2020-2022. Veteran starting experience is usually an asset worth having on the bench.

Minor NFL Transactions: 9/14/23

September 14th, 2023 at 5:55pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor transactions:

Carolina Panthers

Signed off Raiders practice squad: CB Sam Webb

Philadelphia Eagles

Promoted: WR Britain Covey, P Arryn Siposs

Pittsburgh Steelers

Placed on IR: DT Cameron Heyward (story)
Promoted: WR Dez Fitzpatrick

Seattle Seahawks

Signed off Raiders practice squad: G McClendon Curtis
Signed off Buccaneers practice squad: OT Raiqwon O’Neal

With Jaycee Horn being placed on IR, the Panthers added some cornerback depth by snagging Sam Webb of the Raiders practice squad. The former UDFA got into all 17 games for Las Vegas in 2022, finishing with 36 tackles. He was cut by the Raiders at the end of the preseason before landing back on their practice squad.

Minor NFL Transactions: 9/13/23

September 13th, 2023 at 6:04pm CST by Adam La Rose

Wednesday’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Signed (off Raiders’ practice squad): CB Sam Webb

Denver Broncos

Promoted from practice squad: WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
Placed on IR: S Caden Sterns (story)

Houston Texans

Signed: DE Michael Dogbe
Promoted from practice squad: P Ty Zentner

Jacksonville Jaguars

Suspended to begin 2024 season: TE Leonard Taylor

Los Angeles Rams

Placed on non-football illness list: QB Stetson Bennett

New Orleans Saints

Promoted from practice squad: WR Lynn Bowden Jr., DE Kyle Phillips
Placed on IR: DE Payton Turner (story)

Taylor was placed on IR by the Jaguars in July, guaranteeing that he would not see the field during the 2023 campaign. He has also been suspended for the first two games of next season, though, PHNX’s Howard Balzer notes. The 24-year-old has yet to see regular season NFL game action in his career.

Bennett has been dealing with a shoulder injury, but the NFI designation is used for injuries (or, in this case, illnesses) which arise separate from football-related activities. When asked for specifics about the fourth-round rookie’s circumstances, head coach Sean McVay said, via The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue, “out of respect for him and the situation, I’m going to leave all of those specifics and particulars in-house” (subscription required). The Rams will move forward with Matthew Stafford as their starter under center, and Brett Rypien available as an option to be elevated from the practice squad.
