Here are the latest moves from the around the NFL:

Buffalo Bills

Activated from IR: OL Tylan Grable
Waived: DE Casey Toohill

Carolina Panthers

Placed on IR: LB Trevin Wallace, LB Claudin Cherelus
Waived: DB Anthony Brown
Signed to active roster: WR Dan Chisena, LB Jacoby Windmon

Cincinnati Bengals

Signed to active roster: K Cade York

Detroit Lions

Signed from Jaguars’ practice squad: LB Anthony Pittman

Los Angeles Rams

Placed on IR: LB Nick Hampton

Las Vegas Raiders

Placed on commissioners/suspended list: DE Janarius Robinson

Miami Dolphins

Signed to active roster: LS Jake McQuaide
Placed on IR: WR Grant DuBose

San Francisco 49ers

Waived (with injury settlement): CB Ambry Thomas

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: CB Artie Burns

After another round of injuries in Week 15, the Lions signed Pittman off the Jaguars’ practice squad to bolster their linebacker room. The five-year veteran appeared in just one game for Jacksonville this season, which coincidentally came against the Lions in Week 11. Pittman has primarily played special teams in his NFL career and will continue that role in Detroit.

The Raiders will be without Robinson for the rest of the season after he received a three-game suspension for violation of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

The 49ers placed Thomas on injured reserve after initial roster cuts, but never designated him to return. He is “now healthy and, as a former third-round pick out of Michigan, is expected to garner interest,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Thomas appeared in 42 games, including 11 starts, in San Francisco, but never developed into a consistent starting corner as the team hoped.

Placed on IR: S Jerrick Reed II

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: P Jack Browning, S Ryan Neal

Tennessee Titans

Elevated: G Arlington Hambright, TE Thomas Odukoya

Washington Commanders

Elevated: DT Carl Davis

Demercado has taken a backseat to Florida State third-round rookie Trey Benson, but he has averaged 9.3 yards per carry on 24 carries this year. Palardy will take over punting duties with Gillikin landing on injured reserve.

Jackson signed with Bills in late July, and although he was among the team’s final roster cuts he was immediately retained via a practice squad deal. This elevation means Week 15 will mark his first time spent on the active roster this season. The 36-year-old has started all but 10 of his 203 NFL games, but last season was marred by suspensions which led to his Broncos release. Jackson could suit up for Buffalo down the stretch as a gameday elevation in a bid to rebuild his stock to a degree.

With the playoffs nearly out of reach and quarterback Joe Burrow dealing with a few ailments (wrist and knee), the Bengals don’t seem to be taking any chances. Jake Browning will continue serving as the primary backup, while Woodside’s promotion will allow him to act as the emergency backup.

Adams has seen his biggest NFL roles during his time in Pittsburgh. Though he hasn’t gotten the same number of starts as he had in 2022 and 2023, he’s continued the same level of production. After missing the last four games, he’ll be looking to return to the field as early as tomorrow.

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/11/24

December 11th, 2024 at 8:25pm CST by Ely Allen

Wednesday’s minor roster updates:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed to active roster: RB Carlos Washington Jr.
Placed on IR: RB Jase McClellan

Buffalo Bills

Designated to return from IR: DT Dawuane Smoot, LB Baylon Spector

Chicago Bears

Signed off Packers’ practice squad: DT Jonathan Ford
Placed on IR: WR DeAndre Carter

Cleveland Browns

Designated to return from IR: DT Mike Hall Jr.

Los Angeles Rams

Reverted to season-ending IR: G KT Leveston

Miami Dolphins

Designated to return from IR: WR Grant DuBose

New York Giants

Signed off Cardinals’ practice squad: CB Divaad Wilson
Designated to return from IR: OL Austin Schlottmann
Placed on IR: S Tyler Nubin

New York Jets

Signed off Colts’ practice squad: CB Jaylin Simpson
Placed on IR: WR Irvin Charles

Seattle Seahawks

Designated to return from IR: CB Artie Burns, S K’Von Wallace

It’s unfortunate news for the rookie second-round safety, Nubin. After starting the first 13 games of his first season in the NFL, the top-drafted safety in the 2024 NFL Draft will end the year on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Nubin had graded out as the 34th-best safety in the league, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required), before the injury.

Charles will miss the remainer of the season, as well, and perhaps some of next year. The former undrafted receiver will be undergoing surgery for a torn ACL.

Today’s minor moves in the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed to active roster: K Chad Ryland
Placed on IR: DT Bilal Nichols, K Matt Prater

Atlanta Falcons

Signed to active roster: G Matt Hennessy
Placed on IR: S Micah Abernathy

Baltimore Ravens

Waived: G Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu

Houston Texans

Activated from IR: DT Kurt Hinish

Philadelphia Eagles

Waived with injury settlement: WR Jacob Harris

Seattle Seahawks

Placed on IR: CB Artie Burns

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: WR Marquez Callaway
Signed to active roster: CB Keenan Isaac

Tennessee Titans

Signed to active roster: CB Tre Avery

Nichols is reportedly out for the season, per the Cardinals, but Prater could still return after an additional four-game absence. He’s already missed two games so far with a left knee issue. The 40-year-old was a perfect six-for-six on field goal attempts this year while 10-for-10 on extra points.

The Browns lose an important depth lineman in Harris. Harris started games at left tackle and center as an injury replacement this year, but he’ll be out for at least the next four games with an ankle injury.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris reported that Abernathy will be out for a “significant time,” per D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

With regular kicker Matt Gay listed as questionable for the season opener after hernia surgery, the Colts will call up Shrader from the practice squad as an emergency option. The 25-year-old has not made a regular season appearance in his career, but that could very well change tomorrow.

Seahawks Waive WR Dee Eskridge, Leave T Abraham Lucas On PUP; Squad Now At 53

August 27th, 2024 at 9:30pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here is how the now-Mike Macdonald-led Seahawks reduced their roster to 53 players:

Released:

S Marquise Blair
CB Artie Burns
LB Blake Lynch
QB P.J. Walker

Waived:

LB Sundiata Anderson
LB Michael Barrett
DT Kyon Barrs
CB Lance Boykin
LB Nelson Ceaser
T/G McClendon Curtis
WR Dee Eskridge
TE Michael Ezeike
TE Devon Garrison
LB Easton Gibbs
T Garret Greenfield

G Ilm Manning
LB Patrick O’Connell
S Ty Okada
T Raiqwon O’Neal
T Max Pircher
LB Jon Rhattigan
RB Kairee Robinson
WR Ty Scott
LB Jamie Sheriff
WR Cody White
WR Easop Winston

Waived/injured:

TE Jack Westover

Placed on reserve/PUP list:

Injury trouble lingers for Lucas, who missed a chunk of last season because of an injury Pete Carroll labeled “chronic.” While the Seahawks’ new staff pushed back on that, the team’s right tackle starter is once again out of commission. Lucas, who started alongside Charles Cross as rookies in 2022, has started all 22 games he has played. But that only included six contests last year. Lucas must miss at least four games due to Tuesday’s designation. Lucas, who underwent knee surgery this offseason, also dealt with a shoulder issue heading into his second season.

The Seahawks brought back George Fant, who filled in as a Texans spot starter at RT last season. Fant’s presence becomes more important in light of this latest Lucas injury news. The player Fant was primarily competing with, Curtis, received cut notice today as well.

Macdonald and OC Ryan Grubb are not keeping Eskridge around, representing a miss for GM John Schneider. The Seahawks made Eskridge their top pick in the 2021 draft, which began in the second round due to the Jamal Adams trade. The Western Michigan alum has been unable to catch on. He has 17 career catches for 122 yards, with injuries intervening along the way. The Seahawks further addressed the issue by taking Jaxon Smith-Njigba in last year’s first round, but they have needed to devote considerable resources to stocking their WR positions.

Burns figures to be a candidate to come back soon, via ESPN.com’s Brady Henderson, who notes the former first-rounder enjoyed a good training camp and worked as the team’s starting slot corner at points. The Seahawks also cut one of the players they just acquired in a trade. Barrett, obtained from the Panthers, could be kept on the practice squad if he clears waivers Wednesday.
