Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline Tuesday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters. In addition to waiver claims, teams can begin constructing their 16-man practice squads today. These 49ers, Cardinals, Rams and Seahawks moves are noted below.

Singleton, RB Anthony Tyus III, WR Ricky White, RB Jacardia Wright

Cardinals Trim Roster To 53

August 26th, 2025 at 9:01pm CST by Ely Allen

The Cardinals announced the following roster moves to get down to their initial 53-man roster:

Released:

LS Aaron Brewer
RB Michael Carter
T Jake Curhan
RB DeeJay Dallas
TE Josiah Deguara
WR Simi Fehoko
CB Darren Hall
G Nick Leverett
G Royce Newman
LB Mykal Walker

Waived:

First-round defensive tackle Nolen will miss at least the first four weeks of his rookie year. The Ole Miss product is dealing with a calf injury that forced him to miss most of training camp. Another d-lineman, Barrs will hit waivers but stands a good chance at landing on the practice squad if he clears.

The Cards made some surprise decisions in the running backs rooms, disposing of veterans like Carter and Dallas in favor of Zonovan Knight, who hasn’t appeared in a game since 2023. One of the veterans could end up back on the practice squad, as could wide receiver/special teamer Fehoko.

Russell suffered a concussion in training and will now miss the entire 2025 season on injured reserve. Jones and Conner, though, will be eligible to return after, at least, a four-week absence. The two linemen are dealing with knee injuries but may be able to bolster the line later in the year.

Brewer getting cut means the team does not have a long snapper on the roster. Likely, the team has a handshake deal with Brewer that will allow them to place some players on injured lists, opening a spot for him and others to return.

Minor NFL Transactions: 1/10/25

January 10th, 2025 at 10:11pm CST by Ely Allen

Today’s minor moves and a few standard gameday practice squad elevations for the first games of the playoffs:

Chicago Bears

Claimed off waivers (from Chargers): OL Jordan McFadden

Kansas City Chiefs

Placed on IR: DT Marlon Tuipulotu

Los Angeles Chargers

Activated from IR: CB Eli Apple, WR Simi Fehoko
Elevated: S Eddie Jackson, RB Jaret Patterson
Placed on IR: CB Ja’Sir Taylor

Philadelphia Eagles

McFadden’s waiver claim has been accepted, but since the Bears have no more games this year, it has been deferred until the first business day after the Super Bowl, February 10.

Minor NFL Transactions: 1/7/25

January 7th, 2025 at 8:06pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor moves:

Baltimore Ravens

Designated for return: WR Deonte Harty

Houston Texans

Designated for return: TE Teagan Quitoriano

Los Angeles Chargers

Designated for return: WR Simi Fehoko

Los Angeles Rams

Activated from IR: S John Johnson

Philadelphia Eagles

Waived: QB Ian Book

Pittsburgh Steelers

Designated for return: OT Calvin Anderson

A handful of playoff teams designated players for return from IR today, opening the 21-day window for activation. While there’s a chance these players are activated at some point during the postseason, they could also merely be providing the team with another body during practices.

Chargers Designate Alohi Gilman For Return

January 1st, 2025 at 5:38pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Chargers have designated safety Alohi Gilman for return from injured reserve and opened his 21-day practice window, per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that Gilman is “ready to roll,” indicating that he will be activated before the Chargers’ regular season finale on Sunday.

Gilman landed on injured reserve at the end of November with a hamstring injury after starting 10 of Los Angeles’ first 11 games this season. His return could not come at a better time for the Chargers, who just lost Elijah Molden for the season due to a broken fibula.

Gilman was having a solid season before his injury, though he has not been able to replicate his playmaking from last season. He recorded two interceptions, 10 passes defended, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 2023; this year, he has just one interception and four passes defended with no fumble production.

If all goes well in practice, the Chargers will use their eight and final regular season IR activation on Gilman, though they will receive two more for the playoffs.

One of those postseason activations could be for wide receiver Simi Fehoko, who has been on injured reserve since early November with an elbow injury.

Harbaugh said that Fehoko is “progressing really well,” per Popper. He has not been a major piece of the Chargers offense this year; he’s caught just six of his 16 targets, though all six have converted first downs for a career-high total of 106 yards. Fehoko has been a contributor on the kick and punt units, so he could see some playoff playing time on special teams if activated.

Chargers Place Junior Colson On IR, Designate Gus Edwards For Return

November 6th, 2024 at 8:50pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Chargers have placed Junior Colson on injured reserve with an ankle injury, another setback for the rookie linebacker who dealt with appendicitis during training camp and missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a hamstring injury.

When healthy, Colson was a rotational contributor to the Chargers’ league-leading defense with a role on special teams. The third-round pick will now be sidelined for at least four weeks, with his earliest possible return coming on December 8 against the Chiefs.

The Chargers have plenty of linebacker depth on the roster with Troy Dye, Nick Niemann, and Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste backing up starters Denzel Perryman and Daiyan Henley.

Los Angeles also designated Gus Edwards to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. The veteran running back landed on IR in October with an ankle injury and is now headed towards a return to the backfield alongside fellow former Raven J.K. Dobbins. Edwards is unlikely to eat heavily into Dobbins’ workload, as he is averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry compared to Dobbins’ 4.9 YPC.

The Chargers made another addition to their offense by promoting Jalen Reagor to the active roster to replace Simi Fehoko, who was placed on injured reserve. Reagor signed with the Chargers’ practice squad in September and appeared in the team’s last three games. With Fehoko facing at least a four-game absence with an elbow injury, Reager will move to the 53-man roster to provide receiver depth alongside recently activated veteran DJ Chark.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 12/7/23

December 7th, 2023 at 7:21pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s practice squad moves:

Baltimore Ravens

Signed: WR Tarik Black

Houston Texans

Signed: DE Kerry Hyder

Indianapolis Colts

Signed: DE Derek Rivers

Los Angeles Chargers

Signed: WR Simi Fehoko
Released: CB Matt Hankins

New Orleans Saints

Signed: DT John Penisini
Activated from IR: WR Shaquan Davis

San Francisco 49ers

Signed: RB Tyrion Davis-Price
Released: WR Isaiah Winstead

As expected, Tyrion Davis-Price has landed back with the 49ers after getting cut by the big-league club earlier this week. The 2022 third-round pick has seen time in just one game for San Francisco this season, collecting 21 yards from scrimmage on six touches. He appeared in six games as a rookie, collecting 99 rushing yards. He’ll join Jeremy McNichols as the 49ers’ practice-squad options at RB.

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/5/23

December 5th, 2023 at 6:04pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Tuesday’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: DL Naquan Jones

Carolina Panthers

Signed from practice squad: OL Justin McCray

Houston Texans

Waived: DE Kerry Hyder

Jacksonville Jaguars

Waived from IR: TE Leonard Taylor

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed from practice squad: DE Janarius Robinson

Los Angeles Chargers

Activated from NFI list: S JT Woods
Waived: WR Simi Fehoko

New Orleans Saints

Waived: S Daniel Sorensen

Tennessee Titans

Waived: LB Monty Rice

Washington Commanders

Waived from PUP list: LB Drew White

A 2021 third-round pick, Rice started 10 games over his first two seasons. Although the Titans cut Zach Cunningham and let David Long sign with the Dolphins, they brought in Azeez Al-Shaair and have used second-year UDFA Jack Gibbens as starters this season. Rice has been strictly a backup, and a post-transaction tweet suggested the young defender was not too broken up about this Tennessee cut.

Hyder joined the Texans earlier this season. The 49ers had waived the rotational pass rusher after trading for Randy Gregory. Reuniting with DeMeco Ryans, Hyder spent much of his Texans stay on their practice squad. The team used the defensive end in two games this season, giving him 40 defensive snaps as a backup. Hyder would be eligible to return to Houston’s P-squad if he clears waivers.
