Minor NFL Transactions: 11/23/22

November 23rd, 2022 at 8:53pm CST by Adam La Rose

Today’s minor moves around the league:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed to active roster: WR Frank Darby

Buffalo Bills

Elevated: DE Mike Love, WR Tanner Gentry

Dallas Cowboys

Elevated: T Aviante Collins, DE Takk McKinley

Detroit Lions

Elevated: LB James Houston, C Ross Pierschbacher

Green Bay Packers

Designated for return from NFI list: T Caleb Jones
Claimed off waivers (from Rams): LB Justin Hollins
Waived: RB Patrick Taylor

Jacksonville Jaguars

Designated for return from IR: OLB K’Lavon Chaisson

Las Vegas Raiders

Designated for return from IR: CB Nate Hobbs

Los Angeles Chargers

Designated for return from IR: RB Joshua Kelley

Miami Dolphins

Signed: DT Justin Zimmer

New York Giants

Signed to active roster: OL Devery Hamilton, S Trenton Thompson
Elevated: S Terrell Burgess, OL Korey Cunningham
Waived: LB Austin Calitro, OLB Quincy Roche

Thanksgiving will mark McKinley’s Cowboys debut after he signed to Dallas’ practice squad last week. The veteran will seek to be more productive in his reunion with Dan Quinn than his previous stops following the end of his Falcons tenure, while providing depth to a Cowboys edge group which has produced a league-leading 42 sacks this season.

Hobbs returning to the fold in the near future will be a welcomed sight for the Raiders’ secondary. The 2021 fifth-rounder was a full-time starter through the first five weeks of the season before landing on IR with a broken hand. Vegas has struggled against the pass, allowing more than 247 yards per game through the air in 2022. The team has three weeks to activate him before he becomes ineligible to play again this season.

Bills Place Josh Norman On IR

September 12th, 2020 at 3:06pm CST by Sam Robinson

Josh Norman‘s Bills tenure will not include game action for a while. The team placed the veteran cornerback on IR Saturday.

Norman was already set to miss Week 1 with a hamstring injury. He will now be forced to miss at least two more games. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the NFL to further alter its IR rule. Teams can activate an unlimited number of players from IR after three weeks, rather than the usual eight.

Buffalo signed Norman to a one-year, $6MM deal in March. Norman did not fare especially well for most of his four-year Washington tenure, but a Bills stay means a return to work with his former defensive coordinator in Sean McDermott. Those plans are now on hold.

The Bills also promoted cornerback Cam Lewis and defensive tackle Justin Zimmer from their practice squad Saturday.

Bills Release Andre Roberts, Trim Roster To 53

September 5th, 2020 at 4:30pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are the roster decisions the Bills made to move to the mandated 53-man regular-season limit.

Waived:

OT Trey Adams
DB Brian Allen
TE Nate Becker
DE Bryan Cox Jr.
TE Jason Croom
WR Robert Foster
G Marquel Harrell
DB Dane Jackson
DB Cam Lewis
DE Mike Love
DB Dean Marlowe
T Victor Salako
DT Tanzel Smart
LB Andre Smith
DT Vincent Taylor
DB Josh Thomas
RB Christian Wade
T Brandon Walton
QB Davis Webb
RB Antonio Williams
WR Duke Williams (story)
DT Justin Zimmer

Released:

OL Evan Boehm
WR Andre Roberts

Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform:

TE Tommy Sweeney

The Bills signed Roberts to a two-year deal in 2019, doing so after he earned All-Pro recognition for his kick-return work on the 2018 Jets. Roberts has 10 years’ experience and two Pro Bowls on his resume. The second of those two Pro Bowl nods came last season with the Bills. Buffalo enters the season with its best chance to win the AFC East in maybe 20 years, so cutting an accomplished player is certainly surprising.

Foster made a splash as a rookie in 2018, but the Bills have overhauled their receiver group since. John Brown and Cole Beasley led the way last year, and the team traded for Stefon Diggs and drafted two wideouts — fourth-rounder Gabriel Davis and sixth-rounder Isaiah Hodgins — this year. Foster will nonetheless be an interest name on waivers.

Buffalo traded for Andre Smith earlier this week. The third-year linebacker could well be brought back on the team’s 16-player practice squad. Teams can begin assembling their P-squads Sunday.
