Washington Commanders

Signed to active roster: RB Chris Rodriguez Jr.
Elevated: K Zane Gonzalez, DE Efe Obada
Placed on IR: TE Colson Yankoff

Spector will miss at least the next four games as a result of the Bills’ move. He has remained a mainstay on special teams this year, having also done so in 2022 and ’23. The former seventh-rounder has made three starts on defense, however, so his absence will be felt moving forward. Linebacker has been a position hit hard by injuries this season, and Buffalo’s depth at the second level will now be tested even further.

Wattenberg had his 21-day practice window opened by the Broncos earlier this week, paving the way for today’s activation. The 27-year-old operated as the team’s starting center prior to going down after having won a summer competition for the gig with Alex Forsyth. Forsyth handled first-team duties over the past four games, drawing a superior PFF evaluation and therefore potentially playing his way into an extended look atop the depth chart. At a minimum, having Wattenberg back will give Denver – a team with three IR activations left – depth up front.

Wednesday NFL Transactions: AFC South

August 28th, 2024 at 7:10pm CST by Sam Robinson

Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline Tuesday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters. In addition to waiver claims, teams can begin constructing their 16-man practice squads today. These Colts, Jaguars, Texans and Titans moves are noted below.

Houston Texans

DE Solomon Byrd, OT Cameron Erving, DE Malik Fisher, FB Troy Hairston, DT Marcus Harris, WR Johnny Johnson, T David Sharpe, RB J.J. Taylor, LB Max Tooley, LB Zeke Turner, OL Kilian Zierer

Colts Let Go Of Five Veterans, Place TE Jelani Woods On IR On Way To 53

August 27th, 2024 at 10:37pm CST by Ely Allen

The Colts have gotten down to the 53 players who will start the year on the active roster. Here are the players who won’t:

Released:

Waived:

CB Micah Abraham
LB Austin Ajiake
LB Liam Anderson
QB Jason Bean
DE Levi Bell
S Marcel Dabo
RB Demetric Felton
G Arlington Hambright
RB Evan Hull
DT Eric Johnson
DT Jonah Laulu
DE Titus Leo
TE Jordan Murray
C Mike Panasiuk
RB Zavier Scott
CB Jaylin Simpson
CB Ameer Speed
S Michael Tutsie
T Jake Witt
LB Craig Young

Placed on IR:

WR Juwann Winfree
TE Jelani Woods

Placed on IR (designated for return):

DE Samson Ebukam
LB Cameron McGrone

The Colts made a number of tough decisions to close our the initial active roster. Aside from Montgomery, every other veteran the team released today has some form of starting experience under their belt. A youth movement in the defensive ends room kept Avery out of the mix, and Tomlinson wasn’t able to take advantage of Woods missing the who year on injured reserve.

Even more surprising perhaps was Indianapolis cutting ties with three drafted rookies after only four months. Fifth-round Auburn defensive back Simpson, sixth-round Marshall cornerback Abraham, and seventh-round Oklahoma defensive tackle Laulu all failed to make the 53-man roster, essentially marking those draft picks as wasted. If some late-round players end up breaking out into true contributors, the Colts are going to kick themselves for missing on those three selections.

On the other side of that, Indianapolis uncovered a gem in undrafted Marshall guard Dalton Tucker. Tucker made the roster and is one of only four interior offensive linemen backing up the starting three.

Activated from active/PUP list: DE Chase Young

Philadelphia Eagles

Placed on active/NFI list: T Gottlieb Ayedze, WR Shaquan Davis
Placed on active/PUP list: S Sydney Brown

Pittsburgh Steelers

Placed on active/NFI list: RB Cordarrelle Patterson
Placed on active/PUP list: LB Cole Holcomb, DE Dean Lowry

San Francisco 49ers

Placed on active/PUP list: DE Drake Jackson

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: G Ilm Manning
Activated from active/NFI list: CB DJ James, CB Nehemiah Pritchett
Released: G Tremayne Anchrum

Washington Commanders

Activated from active/NFI list: DT Johnny Newton
Placed on active/PUP list: DE Efe Obada

In New Orleans, Young has officially made the comeback from offseason neck surgery, passing his physical today alongside Olave, who is no stranger to offseason injuries.

Treadwell will join his eighth team in nine years after only making one catch in five games with the Ravens last season.

Brown is working his way back from an ACL tear that he suffered in the final game of his rookie season last year, so it’s no surprise that he will start the offseason on PUP.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 1/17/24

January 17th, 2024 at 6:40pm CST by Ely Allen

The remaining playoff teams continue manipulating their practice squads:

Baltimore Ravens

Signed: WR Laquon Treadwell
Released: WR Tarik Black

Detroit Lions

Signed: DE Chris Smith

Houston Texans

Signed: WR Damiere Byrd
Released: DT Rashard Lawrence

As they deal with myriad injuries in their receiving corps, the Texans have made the call to add a veteran pass catcher in Byrd. Tank Dell and Noah Brown are on injured reserve, and Robert Woods (hip) and John Metchie (foot) are both currently questionable with one practice remaining before Saturday’s matchup in Baltimore. It’s been three years since Byrd’s season as a starter in New England when he recorded career-highs in catches (47) and yards (604), but Houston brings him in with the hope that the depth he brings at the position is unnecessary.

Minor NFL Transactions: 1/15/24

January 15th, 2024 at 7:04pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor transactions:

Baltimore Ravens

Waived: WR Laquon Treadwell
Placed on IR: DB Damarion Williams

Philadelphia Eagles

Elevated: CB Mekhi Garner, DB Tristin McCollum

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: RB Patrick Laird, LB Jose Ramirez

Laquon Treadwell, a former first-round pick, will now look to revive his career elsewhere. The wideout got into five games with the Ravens this season, hauling in a single, 16-yard catch. Treadwell has spent time with five different squads over the past five seasons, and as he approaches his age-29 season, it will be interesting to see if any other teams are willing to give him a chance.

With Damarion Williams also landing on IR, the Ravens have opened up a pair of roster spots during their bye week. Naturally, there will be plenty of speculation that these spots are reserved for tight end Mark Andrews, who is returning from IR, and running back Dalvin Cook, who recently joined Baltimore’s practice squad.

Elevated: S Erik Harris, WR Tay Martin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: CB Derrek Pitts, TE David Wells

Tennessee Titans

Signed to active roster: DT Ross Blacklock
Elevated: LB Tae Crowder, CB Kendall Sheffield
Placed on IR: TE Josh Whyle

Alualu is set to make his Lions debut after signing earlier this month. Given the injury issues Detroit has faced up front, the 36-year-old has the chance to see playing time through the close of the regular season and into the playoffs. Alualu expressed a desire to continue playing with the Steelers this offseason, but he remained a free agent deep into the year. His tenure in the Motor City could help boost his free agent stock if he wishes to remain in the league in 2024, though.

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/25/23

December 25th, 2023 at 3:06pm CST by Adam La Rose

Today’s minor moves:

Baltimore Ravens

Elevated: OLB Jeremiah Moon, WR Laquon Treadwell
Reverted to season-ending IR: LB Malik Hamm

Cincinnati Bengals

Waived: DT Domenique Davis

Los Angeles Chargers

Waived: QB Max Duggan

San Francisco 49ers

Signed to active roster: WR Willie Snead
Waived: T Matt Pryor
Elevated: DL T.Y. McGill, CB Jason Verrett (story)

The Ravens designated Hamm for return on Dec. 4, making Christmas Day the linebacker’s activation deadline. Rather than activating Hamm to their active roster, the Ravens let his 21-day practice window close. A rookie UDFA out of Division I-FCS Lafayette, Hamm will end up missing his entire rookie season. The Ravens carried Hamm over to their 53-man roster after training camp, placing him on IR a day later.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: CB Keenan Isaac, LB J.J. Russell

Tennessee Titans

Elevated: CB Shyheim Carter, TE Kevin Rader

Washington Commanders

Elevated: RB Derrick Gore

Walker’s elevation comes amidst a degree of uncertainty regarding Deshaun Watson‘s Sunday availability. The latter is dealing with a shoulder injury, but he has expressed confidence he will be able to suit up. In the event he is unable to play, though, Walker will provide insurance under center. NFL Network’s James Palmer reports Watson will be a game-time decision.

Chosen, formerly Robbie Anderson, made his Dolphins debut in Week 3, scoring a 68-yard touchdown on his only catch. His performance – along with other depth wideouts currently being sidelined for Miami – will give the 30-year-old a longer look with his new team.

Gore’s elevation will give him the chance to see regular season game action for the first time since 2021. The former UDFA recorded 361 scrimmage yards with the Chiefs that season, but a subsequent IR stint marked the end of his time in Kansas City. Gore has since spent time on the Saints’, and now Commanders’, taxi squads. Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post notes that fellow depth back Chris Rodriguez has bee ruled out with an illness, opening the door to Gore seeing limited snaps.
