Saturday’s minor moves:
Carolina Panthers
- Placed on active/PUP list: G Austin Corbett, DT John Penisini, DE Jalen Redmond, G Chandler Zavala
Green Bay Packers
- Activated from active/PUP list: C Jake Hanson
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Placed on active/PUP list: G Ben Bartch
New York Jets
- Placed on active/PUP list: T Duane Brown
Tennessee Titans
- Placed on active/PUP list: CB Caleb Farley, T Dillon Radunz
- Placed on NFI list: CB Josh Thompson
The Corbett news comes as no surprise, given the expectation from the spring that he would miss time in the regular season. The Panthers’ starting right guard suffered an ACL tear during the 2022 season finale, making him a candidate for a reserve/PUP designation. That would sideline him for at least four contests, so it is encouraging Carolina has elected instead to use the active designation, from which players can be activated at any time during camp.
Signed to provide last-minute offensive line help for the Jets last season, Brown played 12 games on the blindside last season while battling a shoulder ailment. Despite Mekhi Becton being healthy this offseason, the 37-year-old is the favorite to hold down the LT role for New York as the team looks to improve its pass protection at the start of the Aaron Rodgers era. If healthy in time for the spring, Brown will play a large role in determining their success on that front.
Farley’s brief NFL career has seen a continuation of his injury concerns dating back to college. The 2021 first-rounder saw a herniated disk end his season in December. He underwent surgery to address the issue, and the team may feel the need to proceed with caution given his potentially sizeable role with the Titans’ secondary. Radunz continues to recover from the ACL tear which likewise ended his second campaign in Nashville late in the regular season.
