Here are Monday’s minor moves:
Carolina Panthers
- Elevated: OL Justin McCray
Denver Broncos
- Signed off Patriots’ practice squad: DE Ronnie Perkins
New Orleans Saints
- Elevated: RB Tony Jones Jr., LB Ty Summers
The Broncos will take a flier on a former third-round pick. Perkins arrived as a 2021 Patriots third-rounder, coming out of Oklahoma. Injuries intervened for the St. Louis native, who has yet to play in a regular-season game. After not playing for three-plus months to start his rookie season, Perkins landed on IR. The Pats then placed him on season-ending IR in August 2022. Perkins did not make New England’s 53-man roster this year but stuck around via a practice squad invite. Because the Broncos are poaching Perkins off a P-squad, they must keep him on their active roster for at least three weeks.
