John Hurst - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/9/22

Today’s minor moves around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: CB Cortez Davis
Released: CB Nate Brooks

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: DL Bryce Rodgers

Cleveland Browns

Signed: LB Jordan Kunaszyk
Waived: LB Silas Kelly

Indianapolis Colts

Released via injury settlement: WR John Hurst

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: QB EJ Perry
Waived: QB Kyle Sloter

Kansas City Chiefs

Activated from PUP list: CB Rashad Fenton

New Orleans Saints

Activated from PUP list: DE Marcus Davenport (story)
Signed: DE T.J. Carter
Placed on IR: LB D’Marco Jackson and CB Dylan Mabin

New York Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers

Placed on IR: DE T.D. Moultry

Tennessee Titans

Signed: S Elijah Benton and S Adrian Colbert
Waived: CB Kenneth George
Waived (injury designation): S Michael Griffin

Washington Commanders

Signed: WR Matt Cole

Perry’s interesting post-draft NFL journey continues. Initially slated to join the Eagles as a UDFA, he ended up signing with the Jaguars days later. Then, in July, he was waived (with an injury designation) to make room for Sloter’s addition. Perry has obviously recovered, as the two have now swapped placed once more.

Fenton was one of four Chiefs placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp. That came as little surprise at the time, but his return to practice will be a welcomed sight in Kansas City’s secondary. NFL Network’s James Palmer tweets that Fenton’s preseason availability remains a question mark, but that he is still expected to be fully recovered in time for the regular season.

Jackson was a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft at a position which has been in flux throughout the offseason in New Orleans. The 24-year-old had a highly productive final season in particular at Appalachian State, posting 119 tackles, 20 TFLs and six sacks. He will now have to wait until 2023 to carve out a depth role in the middle of the Saints’ defense.

Buccaneers Add TE Darren Fells To Practice Squad

November 10th, 2021 at 5:08pm CST by Ben Levine

The defending champs are adding a notable name to their practice squad. The Buccaneers have signed tight end Darren Fells to the p-squad, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport (via Twitter). The hope is that Fells will be promoted for Sunday’s game against WFT.

The 35-year-old signed with the Lions in May, circling back after a previous stint in 2017. While he started all five of his games with the Lions this season, he was limited to only four catches and 43 yards. The team ended up cutting the tight end earlier this week.

Fells’ most notable season came in 2019, when he notched 34 catches for 341 yards and seven touchdowns with Houston. In total, he’s hauled in 127 catches for 1,526 yards and 21 touchdowns in 109 career games (81 starts).

The Buccaneers, of course, are already loaded at tight end, rostering Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard, and Cameron Brate. Fells should temporarily help the team while Gronk looks to battle back from his current injury.

Tampa Bay made another practice squad move today, releasing wideout John Hurst to make room for the recently signed Breshad Perriman.

Chargers Cut 10 Players

August 30th, 2021 at 3:22pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Chargers are among the teams making early cuts Monday. Teams have until 3pm CT Tuesday to trim their rosters down to 53 players. The Bolts parted ways with 10. In addition to cutting linebacker Jessie Lemonier, here are the players Los Angeles is waiving:

LB Davin Bellamy
LB Nate Evans
OT Darius Harper
WR John Hurst
CB K.J. Sails
TE Matt Sokol
CB Donte Vaughn
DL Willie Yarbary
LS Cole Mazza (waived/injured)
OL Tyree St. Louis (waived/injured)

None of these players has reached vested-veteran status, so the contingent will head to the wire. Mazza and St. Louis will revert to the Chargers’ IR list — with injury settlements likely — if they pass through waivers. Some of these players figure to be candidates to land on the Bolts’ practice squad. Teams can begin making those additions later this week, after waiver claims are processed.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 11/16/20

November 16th, 2020 at 4:26pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

We’ll keep track of today’s practice squad moves here:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: LBs Terrance Smith, Stephone Anthony

Carolina Panthers

Signed: QB Tommy Stevens

Denver Broncos

Signed: TE Jordan Leggett

Los Angeles Chargers

Signed: WR John Hurst, RB Derrick Gore

Miami Dolphins

Signed: LS Rex Sunahara

New England Patriots

Signed: QB Jake Dolegala
Released: TE David Wells

New York Giants

Signed: CB Quincy Wilson, OL Kenny Wiggins, RB Taquan Mizzell

Washington Football Team

Signed: DE Jalen Jelks

The Panthers were going to land Stevens as an UDFA back in April before the Saints snagged him in the seventh-round. He was recently cut from New Orleans’ practice squad last week. Stevens is a diverse athlete who played a Taysom Hill-esque role at Penn State before transferring to Mississippi State for the 2019 college season. His signing could be an indication the Panthers are worried about Teddy Bridgewater‘s status for Sunday, but since they had previous reported interest in Stevens it could be completely unrelated.
