Here are today’s minor moves heading into the final weekend of preseason games this year:

Arizona Cardinals

• Signed: C Cohl Cabral

Baltimore Ravens

• Waived from IR with injury settlement: WR Shemar Bridges

Buffalo Bills

• Released from IR with injury settlement: DE Shane Ray

Carolina Panthers

• Released from IR with injury settlement: WR Damiere Byrd

Houston Texans

• Signed: P Ty Zentner
• Waived: T Jacky Chen
• Released: CB Darius Phillips

Miami Dolphins

• Signed: DT Jamal Woods

Minnesota Vikings

• Signed: CB Jameson Houston
• Waived: T Chim Okorafor

Pittsburgh Steelers

• Waived from IR with injury settlement: WR Hakeem Butler, WR Cody White

Ray’s unlikely return to the NFL will have to wait a bit longer, it seems. Having not appeared in an NFL regular season game since 2018, Ray’s opportunity in Buffalo has come to an end. His bid to play alongside former Broncos teammate Von Miller will fall short due to injury.

Zentner is likely a short-term signing for Houston, who lost punter Cameron Johnston to a tweaked calf. Johnston shouldn’t need long to get back to the field, but Zentner will be asked to fill in for the team’s preseason game against the Saints this weekend.
