Minor NFL Transactions: 11/9/22

Here are Wednesday’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

• Claimed (from Saints): G Wyatt Davis
• Placed on IR: G Will Hernandez (story)
• Designated for return: S Charles Washington

Chicago Bears

• Designated for return: LB Matthew Adams

Dallas Cowboys

• Activated from IR: DE Tarell Basham

Detroit Lions

• Placed on IR: RB Craig Reynolds
• Signed off Broncos’ practice squad: WR Trinity Benson

Green Bay Packers

• Placed on IR: OLB Rashan Gary (story)
• Designated for return: OLB Tipa Galeai

Indianapolis Colts

• Designated for return: WR Ashton Dulin

Las Vegas Raiders

• Signed from practice squad: S Isaiah Pola-Mao

Los Angeles Chargers

• Placed on IR: DL Austin Johnson (story)
• Signed from practice squad: DL Breiden Fehoko

Minnesota Vikings

• Designated for return: TE Ben Ellefson

San Francisco 49ers

• Designated for return: DE Jordan Willis

Adams, Dulin, Ellefson, Galeai, Washington and Willis each have until Nov. 30 to be activated from IR. Should they not be activated, they would revert to season-ending IR. The Colts and Vikings are in solid shape regarding activations, having only used one apiece. The Bears, Cardinals, 49ers and Packers have used three such moves apiece. Teams are allotted eight injury activations this season.

The Cowboys dangled Basham in trades before last week’s deadline, but no takers emerged. While the team cut the other D-lineman they were hoping to deal — Trysten Hill, who has since been claimed by the Cardinals — they ended up using one of their injury activations on Basham. A former Colts third-round pick, Basham notched 3.5 sacks during his first Cowboys season last year. He played in one game this season (Week 1) before going down with a quadriceps injury. The Cowboys, who have Tyron Smith and James Washington on their IR-return radar, have used two injury activations this season.
