Today’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Designated for return: DT Jaden Crumedy, S Sam Franklin Jr.

Los Angeles Rams

Designated for return: OT Joe Noteboom

Philadelphia Eagles

Designated for return: TE Albert Okwuegbunam

Washington Commanders

Signed: DE Jalyn Holmes
Signed from practice squad: DT Sheldon Day
Placed on IR: DT Jonathan Allen, DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste

A number of players returned to practice today, designating their return from injured reserve. This means teams will have 21 days to activate the players from IR to the active roster.

Noteboom is the most notable name, as the veteran has spent his entire career in Los Angeles. The former third-round pick has settled into a versatile sixth OL for the Rams, starting 32 of his 68 appearances. The lineman started Week 1 but only played in about one third of his team’s offense snaps before suffering an ankle injury.

Here are the latest transactions from around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Activated to 53-man roster: WR Zay Jones

Buffalo Bills

Elevated from practice squad: RB Frank Gore Jr.

Houston Texans

Placed on reserve/suspended list: DT Mario Edwards Jr. (story)

New York Jets

Activated from IR: DT Leki Fotu
Elevated from practice squad: TE Anthony Firkser, S Jalen Mills
Released: DL Jalyn Holmes

Pittsburgh Steelers

Released: LB Adetokunbo Ogundeji

Seattle Seahawks

Designated for return from IR: S Jerrick Reed II

Jones will get to make his Cardinals debut in Week 7 after serving a five-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Arizona requested and received a one-week roster exemption so Jones could get acclimated to his new offense before being added to the 53-man roster. He will bring a veteran presence to a young Cardinals receiver room that lost Marvin Harrison Jr. to a concussion on Sunday.

Here are Thursday’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Signed to active roster: OLB Tarron Jackson

Cleveland Browns

Waived: LB Nathaniel Watson

New England Patriots

Elevated: LB Joe Giles-Harris
Placed on reserve/left squad: OT Chukwuma Okorafor

New York Jets

Placed on IR: EDGE Jermaine Johnson (story)
Signed from practice squad: Jalyn Holmes

The Patriots sustained a blow to their offensive line depth when Okorafor left the team after being benched after just 12 snaps in Week 1. New England received a five-day roster exemption for Okorafor’s initial absence but was forced to move the offensive tackle to the reserve/left team list when the exemption expired. He is now ineligible to return this season.

Watson was drafted by the Browns in the sixth round of the 2024 draft and made Cleveland’s initial 53-man roster. He appeared in the team’s first two regular-season games, playing 33 snaps on special teams.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tennessee Titans

Elevated: LB Luke Gifford

Washington Commanders

Signed to active roster: LB Nick Bellore
Elevated: CB Bobby Price, DE Carlos Watkins

Patrick was among the Broncos’ final roster cuts after a Saints trade was discussed. The 30-year-old missed the 2022 and ’23 campaigns due to ACL and Achilles tears, respectively. Patrick did not need to wait long to find a new opportunity, though, quickly landing a practice squad deal with the Lions. He is now positioned make his season debut tomorrow as a complementary option in Detroit’s passing attack.

Olszewski is dealing with a groin injury and he was known to be facing a long-term absence. Today’s move thus comes as no surprise, but it ensures at least a four-week absence. The former All-Pro scored a punt return touchdown with Pittsburgh early last season and added another during his 10-game Giants stretch to close out the year. The team will need to rely on other options in the return game for the time being.

Jets Set 53-Man Roster

August 27th, 2024 at 10:08pm CST by Ben Levine

The 2023 campaign obviously didn’t go as planned for the Jets, but the organization is hoping for much more success with a healthy Aaron Rodgers under center in 2024. Of course, before they can take the field, the team had to set their 53-man roster. The Jets announced the following roster moves today:

Released:

LB Sam Eguavoen
TE Anthony Firkser
OL Jake Hanson
DL Jalyn Holmes
K Austin Seibert
CB Kendall Sheffield
DL Tanzel Smart

Waived:

CB Shemar Bartholomew
S Al Blades Jr.
OL Austin Deculus
OL Obinna Eze
OL Chris Glaser
WR Tyler Harrell
DL Bruce Hector
LB Anthony Hines
RB Deon Jackson
S Jaylen Key
TE Zack Kuntz
S Jarius Monroe
OL Brady Latham
OL Kohl Levao
QB Adrian Martinez
LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball
WR Lance McCutcheon
QB Andrew Peasley
TE Lincoln Sefcik
CB Nehemiah Shelton
LB Jackson Sirmon
WR Brandon Smith
DB Tre Swilling
DL Jaylen Twyman
OL Willie Tyler III
RB Xazavian Valladay
WR Isaiah Winstead

Placed on reserve/NFI list:

DL Leki Fotu
QB Jordan Travis
TE Kenny Yeboah

Following today’s moves, the Jets are temporarily rostering only a pair of tight ends in Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert. Anthony Firkser isn’t an especially surprising cut, but the veteran could have provided some experience to the position grouping. After topping 30 receptions with the Titans in 2020 and 2021, Firkser was limited to nine catches in 2022 before appearing in only a pair of games with the Lions in 2023. The Jets also moved on from 2023 seventh-round pick Zack Kuntz, although there’s a chance the six-foot-eight tight end lands back on the team’s practice squad.

The Jets also moved on from a notable rookie in Jaylen Key, who had the distinction of being this year’s Mr. Irrelevant. The safety had a strong one-season stint at Alabama, where he collected 60 tackles and one interception.

Today’s minor moves:

Los Angeles Rams

Re-signed: LB Michael Hoecht

New York Jets

Re-signed: DE Jalyn Holmes

Hoecht was a restricted free agent that was tendered by the Rams. He has signed his tender and will return to Los Angeles for the 2024 NFL season.

Jets Place DL Quinton Jefferson On IR

December 19th, 2023 at 7:40pm CST by Ben Levine

Quinton Jefferson is done for the season. The Jets have placed the veteran defensive tackle on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini. To fill the open roster spot, the Jets have signed defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes to the active roster.

Jefferson will miss the rest of the campaign with a hip issue. It’s uncertain exactly when the defensive lineman suffered the injury, but he was limited to a season-low 11 defensive snaps this past weekend.

The 30-year-old joined the Jets this past offseason on a one-year deal. He ended up starting all 14 of his appearances with his new squad, compiling a career-high 6.5 sacks to go along with 34 tackles and one forced fumble. Pro Football Focus only graded Jefferson 96th among 132 qualifying interior defenders, although the site did give him a positive grade for his pass rushing.

The former fifth-round pick has had multiple stints with the Seahawks over the years, including a 17-game run with the organization in 2022. In 103 career games, Jefferson has compiled 26.5 sacks.

Holmes joined the Jets back in August before ultimately earning a spot on the practice squad. He’s earned a pair of promotions this season, collecting a single tackle in two games. The former fourth-round pick got into 25 games with the Vikings through his first three seasons in the NFL.

Tennessee Titans

Elevated: DL Marlon Davidson, LB JoJo Domann

Washington Commanders

Elevated: RB Jonathan Williams

Wilkinson returned to practice this week, and will be eligible to return to the lineup on Sunday given today’s activation. The addition of a starter up front will be welcomed by the Cardinals by giving them stability at the left guard spot in particular and by providing an upgrade in protection ahead of a matchup against the stout 49ers defensive front in general. The Cardinals now have four IR activations remaining.

Street was acquired from the Eagles at the trade deadline after he failed to find playing time this season. The 27-year-old has started all five of his appearances in Atlanta, however, racking up 14 tackles (including four for a loss) and one sack. Those numbers will help his free agent market this offseason, but a pectoral injury will sideline him for at least four weeks. If the Falcons fall short of the postseason, therefore, Street will not return in 2023.

McCain was a full-time starter with the Commanders over the past two seasons, but his release led to a one-year Giants agreement. The former fifth-rounder has 87 starts to his name, but he has been unable to carve out a role in New York’s secondary, playing only 19 defensive snaps. McCain has logged a 50% snap share on special teams, however, so his absence in the third phase will be notable if he is claimed off waivers or signed as a free agent by an interested team.
