Wednesday’s minor NFL transactions:
Carolina Panthers
- Waived: CB Sam Webb
Denver Broncos
- Released: WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey
Detroit Lions
- Designated to return from IR: CB Khalil Dorsey
Houston Texans
- Designated to return from IR: WR Noah Brown
Indianapolis Colts
- Signed to active roster: G Ike Boettger
Denver releases Humphrey with the intention of adding him back to the team’s practice squad, filling the spot vacated by wide receiver Michael Bandy yesterday. Plus, with young tight end Greg Dulcich expected to return from injured reserve soon, releasing Humphrey opens up a spot on the active roster.
The Colts’ offensive line has been dealing with a couple injuries, so bringing in Boettger will help improve the line’s depth a bit. Boettger, a former undrafted free agent, spent the first five years of his career in Buffalo. He spent much of that time as a backup but did start 17 games in a two-year stretch from 2020-2022. Veteran starting experience is usually an asset worth having on the bench.
