Minor NFL Transactions: 8/27/23

August 27th, 2023 at 10:01pm CST by Ely Allen

With the preseason over for 30 of the NFL’s 32 teams, many have begun the process of working their rosters down to the eventual 53-man rosters they will open the season with:

Indianapolis Colts

Waived: WR Tyler Adams, WR Kody Case, G Emil Ekiyor, TE Nick Eubanks, K Lucas Havrisik, TE Michael Jacobson, T Matthew Vanderslice
Released: CB Teez Tabor

Las Vegas Raiders

Placed on IR: RB Brittain Brown, TE Jacob Hollister, WR Isaiah Zuber
Waived/injured: WR Chris Lacy
Waived: CB Isiah Brown, CB Bryce Cosby, DT Doug Costin, LB Isaac Darkangelo, QB Chase Garbers, G Vitaliy Gurman, RB Darwin Thompson

Los Angeles Chargers

Waived: OLB Carlo Kemp, CB Cam Brown

Minnesota Vikings

Waived: LB Wilson Huber, T Jarrid Williams
Released: LB Tanner Vallejo

New England Patriots

Released: DT Carl Davis, CB Rodney Randle
Waived: LB Diego Fagot, S Brad Hawkins, TE Johnny Lumpkin, RB C.J. Marable, CB Quandre Mosely, DT Justus Tavai, OL Micah Vanterpool, TE Scotty Washington, LB Carson Wells

New York Jets

Released: LB Nick Vigil

Pittsburgh Steelers

Waived: WR Aron Cruickshank

San Francisco 49ers

Waived: CB Nate Brooks, OLB LaDarius Hamilton, DE Breeland Speaks, LB Kyahva Tezino, DL Spencer Waege

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: TE Sal Cannella, DE Jordan Ferguson, WR Malik Flowers, CB Benjie Franklin, WR Justin Marshall, CB Chris Steele, RB Wayne Taulapapa

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Waived from IR with injury settlement: CB Don Gardner
Waived: OLB Hamilcar Rashed
Released: LB Ulysees Gilbert

Although never quite reaching the heights of his tenure with the Bengals, Vigil has a history as a strong contributor and potential starter at linebacker. Coming off a season that saw him only play in four games for the Cardinals before getting put on injured reserve, Vigil failed to stick in New York and will need to find his next opportunity elsewhere.

Vallejo’s tenure in Minnesota lasted a short two weeks. The special teams specialist will have to keep searching for his 2023 home.

Today’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Placed on PUP: WR Marquez Stevenson

Cleveland Browns

Activated from PUP: WR Anthony Schwartz

Green Bay Packers

Activated from PUP: LB Tariq Carpenter, OT Caleb Jones, S Tarvarius Moore

Kansas City Chiefs

Signed: WR Ty Scott

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed: CB Isiah Brown
Waived/injured: CB Jordan Perryman

Los Angeles Chargers

Signed: LB Blake Lynch

New York Giants

Signed: DT Kevin Atkins

San Francisco 49ers

Signed: LB Kyahva Tezino
Activated from PUP: P Mitch Wishnowsky

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: LB Ben Burr-Kirven

Washington Commanders

Released: S Xavier Henderson

Ben Burr-Kirven was a fifth-round pick by the Seahawks back in 2019, and he transformed into a key special teamer through his first two seasons in the NFL. However, he suffered a knee injury during the 2021 preseason that ended up wiping out that entire season. The issues persisted in 2022, and after spending that year on PUP, he was ultimately released in March. Coach Pete Carroll apparently reversed course and ended up bringing back the linebacker.

“He’s in a little bit of an experimental mode,” Carroll said earlier this year (via the team’s website). “The surgeries that he has had and the process he is going through, he is making progress. He’s always in the weight room with us. He’s always here working with a tremendous mentality. The nerve issues, really intricate stuff going on, so he’s had to have a really good attitude about it to stay in the fight and he is. He’s planning on getting back out there. So, we are going to give him every chance. If he can do it, this is going to be the place that he does it.”

Xavier Henderson was released today with an injury settlement, according to Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post (via Twitter). The undrafted free agent landed on the physically unable to perform list earlier this week.

Free Agents

Suspended: OT Isaiah Wilson

Isaiah Wilson hasn’t had an NFL gig since he was released by the Giants in January of 2022. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero tweets that the free agent lineman was slapped with a three-game suspension, but it’s uncertain what led to the temporary ban. Wilson was a first-round pick by the Titans in 2020 but got into only one game with Tennessee before getting shipped off to Miami. He was waived by Miami after showing up late to his team physical, and his practice squad stint with New York only lasted one season.

Max Garcia is an experienced addition to the Saints OL room, with the veteran having most recently started seven of his 12 appearances with the Cardinals in 2022. The 31-year-old has 59 games of starting experience, although Pro Football Focus was iffy on his production last year (63rd among 77 qualifying offensive guards).

Following a three-year stint in Cleveland, Terrance Mitchell has spent the past two seasons bouncing around the NFL. He got into 14 games (13 starts) for the Texans in 2021, finishing with 60 tackles and 10 passes defended. He spent the 2022 season with the Titans, finishing with 39 tackles in 11 games (five starts). 49ers fifth-round pick Darrell Luter Jr. is set to miss some time with a knee injury, providing Mitchell with an opportunity during training camp.
