Minor NFL Transactions: 7/24/23

In a very busy day for the NFL in transactions, here are some of the minor moves that may have slipped through the cracks:

Arizona Cardinals

• Signed: WR Davion Davis

Baltimore Ravens

• Signed: LS Tyler Ott
• Placed on PUP: WR Rashod Bateman

Buffalo Bills

• Signed: RB Darrynton Evans, TE Jace Sternberger

Chicago Bears

• Activated from PUP: WR Chase Claypool
• Signed: WR Isaiah Ford, LB Buddy Johnson

Cincinnati Bengals

• Placed on PUP: TE Mitchell Wilcox (after being re-signed)

Houston Texans

• Signed: TE Eric Tomlinson
• Waived: LB Ian Swenson

Las Vegas Raiders

• Signed: DE Isaac Rochell

Minnesota Vikings

• Signed: T Bobby Evans, G Jack Snyder, TE Colin Thompson
• Placed on NFI: G Chris Reed
• Placed on PUP: OLB Andre Carter II
• Waived from NFI: WR Malik Knowles

New England Patriots

• Signed: LB Diego Fagot, WR Jalen Hurd

New York Giants

• Signed: DT Brandin Bryant
• Waived: WR Dre Miller, WR Makai Polk

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• Waived: LB Jeremy Banks

The Ravens signed Ott after working out a trio of long snappers that also included Ryan Langan and Shane Griffin. The former Pro Bowler for the Seahawks won the tryout and is expected to be the replacement for Baltimore’s usual long snapper Nick Moore, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon during his offseason training, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Also, the breath of relief for Bateman is short-lived as, a day after being activated from the reserve/did not report list, Baltimore has placed the young receiver on the PUP list.

On a more positive note, a day after the Bears placed Claypool on the PUP list, he has been removed from it. He’ll now be eligible to participate in training camp starting this Wednesday. Tomlinson returns to Houston after being released back in May. He’ll get another chance to work in the tight ends room that includes Dalton Schultz, Teagan Quitoriano, and Brevin Jordan.
