The Vikings’ release of Murphy is disappointing one for the organization for sure. The rookie pass rusher out of UCLA was not healthy enough to be on the active roster to start the season, but Minnesota liked him enough to dedicate one of their eight IR activations on him in August. He was activated yesterday but hit waivers today. If he clears the waivers, he’ll be available to sign to the team’s practice squad.

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 soon.

Minor NFL Transactions: 10/25/24

Friday’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Placed on IR: LB Dennis Gardeck (story)

Buffalo Bills

Placed on IR: DT DeWayne Carter

Miami Dolphins

Signed to active roster: WR Dee Eskridge

Philadelphia Eagles

Placed on IR: DT Byron Young

Carter is dealing with a wrist injury which will require surgery. Head coach Sean McDermott indicated (via Katherine Fitzgerald of the Buffalo News) the team was initially unsure of if a stint on injured reserve would be needed. Now that the third-round rookie has been moved to IR, he will miss at least the next four games. Carter has appeared in all seven of Buffalo’s contests this year, logging a 39% snap share.

Bills Sign Cole Bishop, Seven Other Draft Picks

June 4th, 2024 at 7:32pm CST by Ben Levine

The Bills signed a significant portion of their draft class today. The team announced that they’ve signed the following players to rookie contracts:

Round 2, No. 60: Cole Bishop (S, Utah)
Round 3, No. 95 (from Chiefs): DeWayne Carter, DT (Duke)
Round 4, No. 128: Ray Davis (RB, Kentucky)
Round 5, No. 141 (from Giants through Panthers): Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (C, Georgia)
Round 5, No. 160 (from Packers): Edefuan Ulofoshio (LB, Washington)
Round 5, No. 168 (from Saints): Javon Solomon (EDGE, Troy)
Round 6, No. 204: Tylan Grable (T, Central Florida)
Round 6, No. 219 (from Packers): Daequan Hardy (CB, Penn State)

The team previously signed seventh-round offensive tackle Travis Clayton. Second-round wide receiver (and the Bills’ top-overall pick) Keon Coleman is the only remaining unsigned rookie.

Cole Bishop had a standout career at Utah that saw him collect 197 tackles and 7.5 sacks. He earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors this past season, finishing with 60 stops, 6.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and two interceptions. That performance helped establish Bishop as one of the draft’s top safety prospects, and he was ultimately selected by the Bills with the 60th-overall pick.

After releasing Jordan Poyer and with Micah Hyde remaining unsigned, the Bills should have an opening for Bishop in the starting lineup. Last year’s third safety, Taylor Rapp, is temporarily penciled in as the other starting safety, so even if the Bills add some reinforcement, there’s a good chance Bishop will still see significant playing time.
