Minor NFL Transactions: 8/7/23

August 7th, 2023 at 8:54pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Activated from active/PUP list: OLB BJ Ojulari

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: OL LaColby Tucker
Activated from active/PUP list: DL Calais Campbell
Waived: DL Matthew Gotel

Baltimore Ravens

Activated from active/PUP list: FB Patrick Ricard

Cincinnati Bengals

Placed on IR: DT Devonnsha Maxwell

Cleveland Browns

Signed: DE Charles Wiley
Waived: WR Ra’Shaun Henry

Dallas Cowboys

Activated from active/NFI list: TE Luke Schoonmaker

Green Bay Packers

Signed: RB Nate McCrary
Activated from active/NFI list: WR Grant Dubose

Kansas City Chiefs

Released from IR via injury settlement: LB Isaiah Moore

Miami Dolphins

Waived: QB James Blackman

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: WR Jacob Copeland
Waived: WR Cephus Johnson

New York Giants

Activated from active/PUP list: G Marcus McKethan, DT A’Shawn Robinson

New York Jets

Signed: DL Bruce Hector
Waived: QB Chris Streveler

Philadelphia Eagles

Waived: OL Trevor Reid

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: LB Jordan Ferguson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: DB Avery Young
Waived: OL Grant Hermanns

Washington Commanders

Signed: S Joshua Kalu
Placed on IR: DB Troy Apke

Streveler is currently dealing with an injury, ESPN’s Dianna Russini tweets. The Jets used Streveler as their top backup QB to close last season, inserting him into a Week 16 game ahead of Joe Flacco. Streveler stuck around via reserve/futures contract in January. But the Jets have since traded for Aaron Rodgers and signed Tim Boyle, marking a new era at quarterback. With Zach Wilson still around, the team does not appear to have any room — potentially even on the practice squad — for Streveler, who has played for the Jets and Cardinals in a three-year NFL career.

Apke has been with Washington since being chosen in the 2018 fourth round. He re-signed with the team in 2022 and stayed via reserve/futures contract in January. A shoulder injury, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, will move Apke to IR, which will end his chances of playing a sixth season with the Commanders this year. Kalu started five games for the Titans last season, playing 494 defensive snaps. Over his first three seasons, Kalu had never cleared the 100-snap barrier on defense.

Schoonmaker suffered a foot injury, a plantar fascia tear, during his final year at Michigan. The Cowboys’ top post-Dalton Schultz tight end investment will aim to make a push for a regular role to begin the season.

The Dolphins made Blackman part of their UDFA class this year. The former Florida State starter spent six years in college, finishing up with Arkansas State. The Dolphins swapped out Teddy Bridgewater for Mike White this offseason, but Skylar Thompson has made a push to be Tua Tagovailoa‘s backup. Regardless of that competition’s outcome, Blackman’s ceiling appeared to be practice squad QB in Miami. But the Dolphins may be looking into outside help for that developmental role — provided the team plans on stashing a fourth passer on its taxi squad.

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/1/23

August 1st, 2023 at 8:13pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Tuesday’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Signed: DL Nick Thurman
Waived: LB Arron Mosby
Waived/failed physical: DL John Penisini

Chicago Bears

Waived: DT Donovan Jeter

Denver Broncos

Signed: WR Nick Williams

Detroit Lions

Waived/injured: TE Shane Zylstra

Green Bay Packers

Signed: WR Andre Miller, OL Cole Schneider
Waived: OL Chuck Filiaga, TE Camren McDonald

Houston Texans

Signed: K Jake Bates
Placed on IR: FB Troy Hairston

Indianapolis Colts

Signed: RB Toriano Clinton, TE La’Michael Pettway, T Dan Skipper
Waived: T Jordan Murray, TE Kaden Smith, DT Jamal Woods

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed: LB Darius Harris
Waived: LB Kana’i Mauga, T Justin Murray

New England Patriots

Claimed (from Bears): WR Thyrick Pitts
Placed on reserve/retired list: WR Jalen Hurd

New York Giants

Signed: C Sean Harlow
Placed on IR: C J.C. Hassenauer

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: RB Greg Bell, RB John Lovett
Waived: RB Jason Huntley

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: DT Robert Cooper, OL Liam Ryan
Waived: DL Roderick Perry

Chosen in the third round by the 49ers back in 2019, Hurd never ended up seeing regular-season action. A converted running back who played in front of Alvin Kamara at points while at Tennessee, Hurd transferred to Baylor and became a wide receiver. Two season-ending injuries — a back malady in 2019 and an ACL tear in 2020 — derailed Hurd’s 49ers tenure. The team cut him during the 2021 season. Barely a week after the Patriots signed Hurd, it appears he is throwing in the towel on an injury-plagued career.

Penisini had unretired this offseason, joining the Panthers. The former Lions sixth-rounder played two seasons on his rookie contract but called it quits in June 2022. His unretirement will precede a Panthers exit. The Lions are moving Zylstra off their 90-man roster due to a severe knee injury. If unclaimed, Zylstra would revert to Detroit’s IR list. Zylstra has seen action in 17 games for the Lions over the past two seasons.

Hassenauer will require surgery to repair a triceps injury, and this transaction will shut him down — as far as the Giants are concerned. The only way Hassenauer can play in 2023 would be if the Giants removed him from IR via an injury settlement. Hairston suffered a herniated disk during practice, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson (on Twitter).

November 23rd, 2022 at 8:53pm CST by Adam La Rose

Today’s minor moves around the league:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed to active roster: WR Frank Darby

Buffalo Bills

Elevated: DE Mike Love, WR Tanner Gentry

Dallas Cowboys

Elevated: T Aviante Collins, DE Takk McKinley

Detroit Lions

Elevated: LB James Houston, C Ross Pierschbacher

Green Bay Packers

Designated for return from NFI list: T Caleb Jones
Claimed off waivers (from Rams): LB Justin Hollins
Waived: RB Patrick Taylor

Jacksonville Jaguars

Designated for return from IR: OLB K’Lavon Chaisson

Las Vegas Raiders

Designated for return from IR: CB Nate Hobbs

Los Angeles Chargers

Designated for return from IR: RB Joshua Kelley

Miami Dolphins

Signed: DT Justin Zimmer

New York Giants

Signed to active roster: OL Devery Hamilton, S Trenton Thompson
Elevated: S Terrell Burgess, OL Korey Cunningham
Waived: LB Austin Calitro, OLB Quincy Roche

Thanksgiving will mark McKinley’s Cowboys debut after he signed to Dallas’ practice squad last week. The veteran will seek to be more productive in his reunion with Dan Quinn than his previous stops following the end of his Falcons tenure, while providing depth to a Cowboys edge group which has produced a league-leading 42 sacks this season.

Hobbs returning to the fold in the near future will be a welcomed sight for the Raiders’ secondary. The 2021 fifth-rounder was a full-time starter through the first five weeks of the season before landing on IR with a broken hand. Vegas has struggled against the pass, allowing more than 247 yards per game through the air in 2022. The team has three weeks to activate him before he becomes ineligible to play again this season.

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/7/22

November 7th, 2022 at 7:16pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Baltimore Ravens

Promoted: WRs DeSean Jackson (story), WR Binjimen Victor
Placed on IR: WR Rashod Bateman (story)

Cincinnati Bengals

Waived: DT Domenique Davis

Detroit Lions

Waived: WR Stanley Berryhill

Las Vegas Raiders

Placed on IR: LB Divine Deablo

New Orleans Saints

Activated from IR: DB P.J. Williams
Placed on IR: LB Chase Hansen
Signed to active roster: WR Kevin White
Elevated: RB Jordan Howard

New York Giants

Designated for return: G Shane Lemieux
Placed on IR: DT Nicholas Williams

Lemieux has been out since September 2021. A severe knee injury paused Lemieux’s career, sidelining him after he had commandeered a starting job. The Giants drafted Lemieux in the 2020 fifth round and turned to him as a starter for much of his rookie season. But the team’s new regime addressed the interior line extensively this offseason, signing Mark Glowinski and Jon Feliciano before drafting Joshua Ezeudu and Marcus McKethan.

The Giants, however, lost McKethan for the season and are without starting left guard Ben Bredeson. The team having Lemieux and former center starter Nick Gates, who also battled back from a severe injury, back will provide some options for Brian Daboll up front. Bredeson, whom the team placed on IR last week, will be a candidate to be one of Big Blue’s injury activations later this season.

Minor NFL Transactions: 9/27/22

September 27th, 2022 at 8:45pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Tuesday’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Promoted: LB Jesse Luketa
Released: S Deionte Thompson

Baltimore Ravens

Released: CB Daryl Worley

Carolina Panthers

Promoted: DT Daviyon Nixon

Cincinnati Bengals

Released from IR via injury settlement: OL Desmond Noel

Detroit Lions

Promoted: LB Anthony Pittman
Placed on IR: S Tracy Walker (story)

Los Angeles Chargers

Claimed (from Titans): OLB Derrek Tuszka

New York Giants

Waived: RB Antonio Williams

New York Jets

Signed off Texans’ practice squad: T Cedric Ogbuehi

Although Ogbuehi is a former first-round pick, he has started five games since the 2018 season. He landed on Houston’s practice squad IR list earlier this month but will be part of the Jets’ scramble to reassemble their tackle depth chart after George Fant‘s IR trip. Ogbuehi’s Bengals audition seasons came back in 2016 and ’17; the Seahawks used him as a fill-in starter in four 2020 games. Ogbuehi, 30, joins Mike Remmers as Jets tackle additions this week.

The Ravens were interested in adding Luketa off the Cardinals’ practice squad, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com tweets. That looks to have prompted the Cards’ decision to move him up to their 53-man roster. The Cards drafted Luketa in this year’s seventh round (256th overall) out of Penn State.

Tennessee’s outside linebacker shuffle included waiving Tuszka, who is now with his third team this year. A former Broncos seventh-round pick, Tuszka spent the offseason with the Steelers. He will move to a Chargers team that has Joey Bosa likely to miss games after suffering what Brandon Staley called a serious groin injury.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 9/27/22

September 27th, 2022 at 8:05pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Tuesday’s practice squad additions and subtractions:

Baltimore Ravens

Signed: G Zack Johnson
Released: WR Makai Polk

Cleveland Browns

Signed: LB Jermaine Carter, DE Curtis Weaver

Detroit Lions

Signed: WR Josh Johnson

Indianapolis Colts

Signed: CB Ryan Smith
Released: LB Forrest Rhyne

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: DT Nick Thurman

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: TE Jacob Hollister
Released: CB Parry Nickerson

New York Giants

Released: LB Charles Wiley

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: RB Godwin Igwebuike

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: WR Kaylon Geiger
Released: TE David Wells

Carter spent last season as a full-time Panthers starting linebacker, but after signing a one-year deal with the Chiefs, the vested veteran could not make his new team’s 53-man roster. The former fifth-round pick has 30 career starts. The Browns just lost linebacker starter Anthony Walker for the season.

An NFLer since 2017, Hollister signed with the Raiders this offseason. But the team released him from IR via settlement earlier this month. Hollister, who caught six touchdown passes with the Seahawks from 2019-20, spent last season with the Jaguars.

Smith, 29, spent five years with the Buccaneers, ending that run as a backup cornerback and special-teamer for Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl LV-winning team. A starter for the 2017 and ’18 Bucs, Smith played in four Chargers games last season.
