Philadelphia Eagles

Removed from commissioner’s exempt list: OL Josh Sills

San Francisco 49ers

Signed: DE Daelin Hayes
Placed on IR: DE Darryl Johnson

Sills was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list back in February when a grand jury indicted him on counts of rape and kidnapping. The charges stem from an event that allegedly took place back in December 2019. Today it was announced that Sills was acquitted of both charges, according to sources at The Athletic. The Eagles released a statement that, with his adjudication, he will return to the team’s active roster.

The 49ers announced that Johnson has been placed on season-ending injured reserve. They didn’t disclose the injury that will sideline the young edge they signed two months ago.

The Vikings are adding the XFL’s 2023 leading rusher in Smith. Smith had 791 rushing yards in 10 games last year.

XFL additions and other post-rookie minicamp moves led to some action on the waiver wire Tuesday. As other teams add talent from the latest XFL effort, here are the latest NFL moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: RB B.J. Baylor

Carolina Panthers

Signed: LB Ayinde Eley, DL Antwuan Jackson, WR Gary Jennings, WR Marquez Stevenson, LB/TE Jordan Thomas
Waived/injured: S Nico Bolden

Cleveland Browns

Signed: CB Chris Westry

Detroit Lions

Signed: K John Parker Romo

Green Bay Packers

Claimed (from Dolphins): T DJ Scaife

Houston Texans

Signed: LB Ian Swenson

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: TE Sammis Reyes
Released: S Deionte Thompson

Los Angeles Rams

Claimed (from Saints): DB Vincent Gray

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: FB Zach Ojile, OL Sam Schlueter

New York Giants

Released from PUP (via injury settlement): S Terrell Burgess

New York Jets

Claimed (from Falcons): CB Javelin Guidry

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed: WR Charleston Rambo
Waived: T Jarrid Williams

Pittsburgh Steelers

Claimed (from Cardinals): DL Manny Jones
Placed on IR: DT Renell Wren

A former 60-meter dash finalist at the U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships, Guidry has bounced around the league. But the Jets are bringing back the young cornerback. Guidry played 28 games for the team from 2020-21. A fellow DB, Westry started two games for the Ravens in 2021; he will relocate to Cleveland.

Jackson, Jennings and Thomas all played in the XFL this season and auditioned for the Panthers at their recent rookie minicamp. The Panthers tried Thomas at both tight end and linebacker over the weekend. Although Thomas played in the most recent XFL effort, he was in Colts camp — under current Panthers HC Frank Reich — in 2021. This is Jennings’ seventh NFL stop. The former Seahawks fourth-round pick has not played in the NFL since his 2019 rookie year in Seattle.

Romo joins a Lions team carrying Michael Badgley as its incumbent kicker. The younger specialist has not yet kicked in an NFL game, but the former Virginia Tech kicker played in the XFL this season, making 17 of 19 field goal tries. This included a 57-yarder.
