Wednesday NFL Transactions: NFC North

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 BearsLions, Packers and Vikings moves are noted below.

Here are Wednesday’s NFC North transactions, which will continue to be updated throughout the day.

Packers Cut Down Roster To 53

The Packers cut their roster down to 53 players today:

Waived

Waived/injured:

Placed on reserve/PUP:

The Packers ended up keeping only a pair of running backs in Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, so the team must be feeling pretty confident that one of their waived RBs will pass through waivers and land on their practice squad. Patrick Taylor would seem to be the favorite for the RB3 role after collecting 25 touches in 2021. Meanwhile, the Packers kept seven wide receivers on their roster, so the release of Travis Fulgham was mostly due to a roster crunch.

The Packers no longer had a need for Ramiz Ahmed, as NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports (on Twitter) that the team activated kicker Mason Crosby off PUP after the veteran passed his physical. Crosby missed training camp and preseason while recovering from offseason knee surgery.

Packers Claim WR Travis Fulgham

The Packers’ wide receiver situation generated considerable interest during the offseason. The team made another addition to the group Wednesday, claiming Travis Fulgham off waivers, Field Yates of ESPN.com tweets. In cutting their roster down to 85 players, the Broncos waived Fulgham on Tuesday.

With the Broncos since last year, Fulgham spent time learning Nathaniel Hackett‘s Packers-style offense this offseason. He was unable to make a sufficient impression in Denver, however, having not recorded a catch in a game with the team. Although Fulgham played in just one Broncos regular-season contest, he is better known for his Eagles fill-in work.

The 2020 Eagles ran into rampant injury trouble at the receiver position, thrusting Fulgham into regular duty early that season. The Old Dominion alum caught 38 passes for 539 yards and four touchdowns in part-time work that year. This included a stretch with a 152-yard game against the Steelers and three more contests with 70-plus yards. Fulgham posted a game-winning touchdown against the 49ers the week prior to his Pittsburgh outburst.

Eagles regulars returning relegated Fulgham to a lesser role later that year, however, but that remains an interesting receiver run. The Packers, of course, traded away Davante Adams and lost Marquez Valdes-Scantling in free agency, injecting considerable uncertainty into their receiving corps. Still, Fulgham would appear to profile as a depth piece at best in Green Bay. The Packers drafted three wideouts, a group headed by Christian Watson and swiftly progressing fourth-rounder Romeo Doubs, and still have Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers and UFA add Sammy Watkins in the mix.

Broncos Add S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, WR Travis Fulgham To Practice Squad

The Broncos have added two notable names to their practice squad. The team announced that they’ve signed safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and wideout Travis Fulgham to the taxi squad.

Clinton-Dix spent much of the offseason and preseason with the 49ers, but he was let go before the start of the regular season. He ended up spending much of the 2021 campaign on the Raiders practice squad, but he managed to get into 13 special teams snaps in two games with the organization. The 28-year-old was cut by the Raiders last week.

The Cowboys signed the former Pro Bowler in 2020 but released him before the start of the regular season. Prior to these struggles landing a steady gig, Clinton-Dix did not miss a game from 2014-19. He worked as a starter throughout that stretch, making the Pro Bowl with the Packers in 2016 and ranking as an upper-echelon safety (per Pro Football Focus) with the Bears in ’19. Clinton-Dix could end up being forced into Denver’s lineup if any of Kareem Jackson, Caden Sterns, and/or P.J. Locke are forced to miss Sunday’s game.

For an Eagles receiving corps decimated by injury last season, Travis Fulgham played a big role. He caught a game-winning touchdown pass to help the depleted Eagles past the 49ers and ended his season with 38 receptions for 539 yards and three touchdowns. Prior to last season, however, Fulgham had never caught a pass as a pro. He was waived by the Eagles back in August, and he’s had brief stints on Philly and the Dolphins practice squad this year.
