While the Dolphins should soon have Tua Tagovailoa back on the field, the team has still added another QB to the mix. The team added veteran C.J. Beathard to the taxi squad today. The quarterback has bounced around the NFL since 2017, including a few stops in San Francisco when current Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel served as the 49ers run game coordinator. The 30-year-old got a start for the Jaguars last season, completing 17 of his 24 pass attempts for 178 yards. The newest addition will join a QB room that also includes Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson, and Tim Boyle.

The Broncos are bringing in the veteran running back Ahmed after he spent four years in Miami. Ahmed’s biggest role came in four starts as an undrafted rookie back in 2020 in which he rushed for 319 yards and three touchdowns over six games. He served as a reliable backup for the Dolphins for the past few years.
The Chargers released Jefferson yesterday, but they’ll keep him around on the practice squad with today’s signing. The veteran adds some quality depth to the roster.

With regular kicker Matt Gay listed as questionable for the season opener after hernia surgery, the Colts will call up Shrader from the practice squad as an emergency option. The 25-year-old has not made a regular season appearance in his career, but that could very well change tomorrow.
Colts K Matt Gay Underwent Hernia Surgery
The Colts might be without their kicker for Week 1. Veteran Matt Gay told reporters that he underwent hernia surgery and is uncertain if he’ll suit up on Sunday, per Mike Chappell of FOX59/CBS4 Sports.
Gay revealed that he first started experiencing pain last weekend. After getting the injury checked out, it was determined the kicker would have to go under the knife. Fortunately, it should be a relatively quick turnaround time, but Gay could still miss this weekend’s matchup with the Texans.
Following a successful three-year stint with the Rams, Gay signed a four-year, $22.5MM contract with the Colts last offseason. He wasn’t as efficient during his first season in Indy, converting only 80.5 percent of his field goal attempts, his worst showing since his rookie campaign. Gay notably connected on a single-game record four 50-plus-yard field goals during a September game, and he converted 35 of 36 extra point tries throughout the campaign.
The Colts prepared for Gay’s potential Week 1 absence by adding kicker Spencer Shrader to the practice squad. The rookie caught on with the Colts earlier this offseason after going undrafted out of Notre Dame. Shrader made 15 of his 22 field goal attempts and 61 of his 62 XP tries last season. In his four previous seasons at South Florida, he connected on 68.3 percent of his FGA and 99 percent of his XPA.

Slovis went to camp with the Colts, joining the team as a UDFA this year. Houston placed Case Keenum on IR and released Tim Boyle, who is now the Dolphins’ P-squad QB. Slovis, who played at USC, Pittsburgh and BYU in college, is now the Texans’ de facto third-stringer.
Shelley has 11 career starts — with the Bears and Vikings — on his resume. He joined the Raiders last year but ended up with the Rams, playing in 11 games as a backup. The Giants have spent time searching for a cornerback answer, having not been too satisfied with their Cor’Dale Flott–Nick McCloud CB2 competition. New York did not make any waiver claims at the position Wednesday.
Reagor, who played for the Patriots last season, is back after being released earlier this week. The former Minnesota first-rounder played in 11 New England games last season, returning a kick for a touchdown. Latu joins the Browns after being a 49ers cut. The 2023 third-round pick missed all of last season with an ACL tear. Jefferson is back with the Bolts hours after being released.
