Here are today’s midweek minor moves:
Arizona Cardinals

- Waived: WR Giles Jackson
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Reverted to IR: T Gareth Warren
- Waived (with injury settlement): LB Devin Harper
San Francisco 49ers
- Signed: G Michael Dunn, WR Malik Knowles
- Waived (with injury designation): RB Corey Kiner
- Released: DE Demone Harris
Washington Commanders
- Released (with injury designation): G Julian Good-Jones
- Released (with injury settlement): CB Kevon Seymour
Waller will now be able to officially return to the field today as he attempts to shake off a year’s worth of retirement. Head coach Mike McDaniel expects him back at practice “very soon,” potentially even this week, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
The Bears have landed the services of the veteran Freeman as they deal with absences from D’Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, Kyle Monangai, and Travis Homer. Hankins had gotten the starting nod in the team’s last preseason game for that same reason, and he’ll now hand off that role to Freeman.
Ferguson, the Dolphins’ former long snapper of the past five years, finally gets a job after his release from Miami. The Texans were really liking what they were seeing out of undrafted rookie Austin Brinkman, but a minor, short-team injury will keep him from the team’s final preseason game, requiring at least a short stay from Ferguson.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Reverted to reserve/PUP: QB Michael Pratt
Tennessee Titans
- Claimed off waivers (from Vikings): LB Brian Asamoah II
- Waived: LB Otis Reese
- Reverted to IR: LB Anfernee Orji
The Titans swapped linebackers today, replacing Otis Reese with Brian Asamoah II. The latter was waived by the Vikings yesterday, but he’ll quickly land on his feet in Tennessee. The former third-round pick spent three years in Minnesota, collecting 30 tackles in 46 games. 802 of his 990 snaps came on special teams. He’ll be taking the spot formerly held by Reese, who started five games for the Titans over the previous two seasons.
Minor NFL Transactions: 6/19/25
Here are today’s minor moves from around the NFL:
Cleveland Browns
- Signed: TE Sal Cannella
- Waived: TE Tre’ McKitty
Kansas City Chiefs
- Signed: C Joey Lombard, TE Geor’Quarius Spivey
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Released: RB Jonathan Ward
Canella has spent time with four different NFL teams, per Browns team writer Kelsey Russo, but he has never been able to make a regular season roster. He will look to change that in Cleveland after leading the UFL in receiving touchdowns in 2024 and earning an All-UFL nod this past spring.
To make room on the roster, the Browns waived McKitty, a 2021 third-round pick by the Chargers. He carved out a blocking role during his first two years in Los Angeles, but was released eight weeks into the 2023 season and has not appeared in a regular season game since.
NFL Reserve/Futures Deals: 1/6/25

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 12/11/24
Today’s practice squad moves:
Arizona Cardinals
- Signed: P Michael Palardy
Carolina Panthers
- Signed: DT DeShawn Williams
Chicago Bears
- Signed: RB Royce Freeman
Cleveland Browns
- Signed: TE Tre’ McKitty
Detroit Lions
- Signed: S Erick Hallett
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Signed: C Dieter Eiselen
New York Giants
- Signed: T Jalen McKenzie
Seattle Seahawks
- Signed: RB Brittain Brown
Arizona is bringing in the left-footed punter as regular punter Blake Gillikin is dealing with an ankle injury on his kicking foot. If Gillikin can’t go on Sunday, Palardy will see his first game action since he finished the back half of the 2022 season in New England.
Bills Pare Roster To 53; LB Matt Milano Receives IR-Return Designation
Here is how the Bills dropped their roster to the 53-man limit:
Released:
- DT Eli Ankou
- WR Deon Cain
- OL Will Clapp
- OL La’el Collins
- WR KJ Hamler
- S Kareem Jackson
- WR Andy Isabella
- DT DeShawn Williams
Waived:
- OL Keaton Bills
- OL Gunner Britton
- DE Kameron Cline
- CB Te’Cory Couch
- TE Zach Davidson
- DT Branson Deen
- QB Ben DiNucci
- OL Mike Edwards
- RB Frank Gore Jr.
- OL Richard Gouraige
- CB Daequan Hardy
- WR Xavier Johnson
- DE Kingsley Jonathan
- CB Keni-H Lovely
- TE Tre’ McKitty
- WR Tyrell Shavers
- WR Justin Shorter
- DT Gable Steveson
- S Kendall Williamson
Placed on IR:
- T Travis Clayton
Placed on IR (return designation)
- RB Darrynton Evans
- LB Matt Milano
Milano suffered a biceps tear and will aim to return late in the season, though the All-Pro linebacker’s injury trouble is obviously a big-picture concern at this point. The Bills are also using one of their eight IR activations, mandated for teams who take advantage of the new rule to designate IR-return players today, on a backup running back. That is a rather interesting decision, as Evans has totaled just 62 carries since being drafted in the 2020 third round.
Residing on the Bills’ roster bubble going into camp, Damar Hamlin made the team. Ditto Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who joined Hamlin on the bubble. The bubble burst — for the time being, at least — on Collins and Clapp, who were vying for swing spots. Collins had been shuttled to guard — where he had not played since 2016 — in recent practices. Jackson joined the Bills after they ran into some injury trouble at safety early in camp.
Steveson, who has an Olympic wrestling gold medal, could be a practice squad candidate. The Eagles carried Olympian hurdler Devon Allen on their P-squad for two years, though the latter has far more football seasoning compared to Steveson. Attempting to follow in his father’s footsteps by securing a Bills gig, Gore is a P-squad candidate, per the Buffalo News’ Ryan O’Halloran. He will need to clear waivers first.
NFL Reserve/Futures Contracts: 1/22/24

Here are the NFL’s practice squad moves from today:
Arizona Cardinals
- Released: WR Daniel Arias
Buffalo Bills
- Signed: Tre’ McKitty, S Tre Norwood
- Placed on practice squad IR: DE Kameron Cline
- Released: TE Joel Wilson
Carolina Panthers
- Signed: LB Ace Eley
Cleveland Browns
- Signed: WR Trinity Benson, CB Vincent Gray, OL Justin Murray

- Signed: DT Perrion Winfrey
- Released: DT Bruce Hector
Tennessee Titans
- Signed: G Lachavious Simmons, CB Josh Thompson
- Released: S Dane Cruikshank
Washington Commanders
- Signed: LB Brandon Bouyer-Randle
The Jets have decided to shoulder the risk of bringing on Winfrey, who was waived by the Browns in July after facing his second allegation of violence against a woman. He was not charged with anything in the case that led to his release from Cleveland, but combined with past off-field incidents, the allegations were enough to propel him towards free agency.

The Bears also announced a practice squad release, indicating a possible return for Kareem on that unit. The Colts are expected to do the same with Boettger.
O’Connor will lose his active roster spot to make room for quarterback John Wolford, whom Tampa Bay officially promoted today in order to ward off interest parties such as the Rams and Vikings, both of whom are experiencing injury issues at quarterback.
