Tennessee Titans

Elevated: LB Luke Gifford, RB Jabari Small

Players like Hollman, Vigil, Webb, and Quarterman will now be getting called up for the third time this season. The NFL rules limit a practice squad player to three standard gameday elevations per contract. If their teams want to get them into more games in the future, the normal route is for them to be signed to the active roster after this weekend then released/waived and signed to new practice squad deals, starting their three-game count over.

Shy Tuttle‘s foot injury will keep him off the field for Week 3, as the Panthers announced that the defensive tackle has been downgraded from doubtful to out. The Panthers called up Williams to temporarily take the open roster spot. The defensive end started 10 of his 16 appearances for the Panthers last season, and he landed back on Carolina’s practice squad last month after spending the preseason with the Bills.

The Browns announced a handful of moves ahead of their game with the Giants tomorrow. Notably, the team didn’t promote any offensive tackles, which provided some optimism surrounding the availability of their injured tackles. While Jedrick Wills Jr. is expected to play (per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal), Jack Conklin will not (per Tony Grossi of 850 ESPN Cleveland). Conklin hasn’t played since Week 1 of the 2023 season while recovering from a torn ACL and MCL. He practiced this week and was initially listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game, but it sounds like a new hamstring injury is the culprit for his Week 3 absence.

With both Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce set to miss Sunday’s trip to Minnesota, the Texans are bringing up Taylor off the practice squad. Taylor will back up Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale against the Vikings this weekend.

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: T McClendon Curtis, RB George Holani

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: DT C.J. Brewer, DL Mike Greene

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.

With regular kicker Matt Gay listed as questionable for the season opener after hernia surgery, the Colts will call up Shrader from the practice squad as an emergency option. The 25-year-old has not made a regular season appearance in his career, but that could very well change tomorrow.

Wednesday NFL Transactions: NFC South

August 28th, 2024 at 4:02pm 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 Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers and Saints moves are noted below.

Buccaneers Set 53-Man Roster

August 27th, 2024 at 10:59pm CST by Ben Levine

The Buccaneers surprised a bit in 2023 without Tom Brady in the lineup. With Baker Mayfield leading the way, the team managed to win their division and return to the postseason for the fourth-straight season. Before the team can look to make it five consecutive trips to the playoffs, the organization had to make some difficult roster decisions today. The team announced the following moves as they set their 53-man roster:

Released:

WR Sterling Shepard (story)
WR Cody Thompson
LS Zach Triner
TE David Wells
QB John Wolford

Waived:

S Marcus Banks
DL C.J. Brewer
TE Sal Cannella
P Nolan Cooney
DL Judge Culpepper
G Xavier Delgado
DL Mike Greene
LB Antonio Grier
OLB Daniel Grzesiak
T Luke Haggard
CB Andrew Hayes
CB Keenan Isaac
RB Ramon Jefferson
WR Cephus Johnson
G Ryan Johnson
C Avery Jones
WR Latreal Jones
LB Vi Jones
WR Tanner Knue
DL Brandon Matterson
CB Chris McDonald
T Lorenz Metz
WR Ryan Miller
OLB Jay Person
TE Tanner Taula
WR Raleigh Webb
RB D.J. Williams
S Rashad Wisdom

Waived/injured:

LB Kalen DeLoach
OLB Shaun Peterson
DL Lwal Uguak

Placed on IR:

RB Chase Edmonds (story)
WR Rakim Jarrett (designated to return)

The Buccaneers have continued their trend of building around draft picks. As Greg Auman of FOX Sports points out, 44 of Tampa Bay’s 53 players were either drafted by the organization or joined as an undrafted free agent. Among starters, the only players who didn’t join the organization as rooks are QB Baker Mayfield and guard Ben Bredeson.

The team will temporarily roll with only a pair of quarterbacks in Mayfield and backup Kyle Trask. John Wolford could have brought some starting experience to the QB room, as the former Ram started four games during his time in Los Angeles. The veteran also started the 2023 campaign on Tampa Bay’s p-squad before earning a promotion, so there’s a chance he follows a similar path this year.

There have been plenty of posts today about a number of teams releasing and waiving players ahead of roster cuts. Here are the best of the rest of the minor moves for Monday:

Carolina Panthers

Waived (with injury settlement): WR Tayvion Robinson

Cincinnati Bengals

Waived: DE Justin Blazek

Cleveland Browns

Activated from active/PUP list: S D’Anthony Bell

Detroit Lions

Waived: OLB Mitchell Agude, WR Kaden Davis, OL Bryan Hudson, RB Zonovan Knight, CB Rachad Wildgoose, TE Shane Zylstra
Released: DL Pat O’Connor, LB Ty Summers

Houston Texans

Released: DT McTelvin Agim, G Dieter Eiselen, LB Jacob Phillips

Indianapolis Colts

Waived: DE Levi Bell
Released: C Mike Panasiuk

Las Vegas Raiders

Waived: CB Demarcus Governor

New York Giants

Released: T Matt Nelson

New York Jets

Waived: DT Jaylen Twyman

Philadelphia Eagles

Waived (with injury settlement): S Mekhi Garner
Waived: S Andre’ Sam

Pittsburgh Steelers

Waived: T Tyler Beach, WR Jacob Copeland, RB Daijun Edwards, T Devery Hamilton, T Anderson Hardy, CB Kyler McMichael, DE Marquiss Spencer, CB Kiondre Thomas
Released: LB Kyahva Tezino, K Matthew Wright

San Francisco 49ers

Waived: P Pressley Harvin III, G Lewis Kidd, WR Jontre Kirklin
Released: RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: CB Willie Roberts

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Waived: DT C.J. Brewer, DL Mike Greene, CB Keenan Isaac, OLB Daniel Grzesiak, CB Chris McDonald, TE Tanner Taula, S Rashad Wisdom

Tennessee Titans

Waived (with injury designation): LB JoJo Domann, WR Tre’Shaun Harrison
Waived: T Brian Dooley, CB Tay Gowan, LB Mikel Jones, LB Thomas Rush, WR Sam Schnee, TE Steven Stilianos, P Ty Zentner

Nelson was an effective swing tackle for the Lions in the past three years. While he wasn’t able to stick with the Giants, he’s likely to draw interest elsewhere in the NFL.

The Eagles like Sam a lot at safety, but with a number of veterans atop the depth chart, there wasn’t room for him on the roster. The team plans to retain him on the practice squad should he clear waivers, per Andrew DiCecco of 975 The Fanatic. The Buccaneers have similar plans with Isaac, Taula, and Wisdom.

Minor NFL Transactions: 1/17/24

Today’s minor moves:

Kansas City Chiefs

Signed to active roster: LB Cole Christiansen
Placed on IR: LB Cam Jones

San Francisco 49ers

Reverted to IR: WR Danny Gray

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Reverted to IR: DL Mike Greene

Jones’ rookie season has come to an end, given the requirement for players on injured reserve to miss four weeks. The UDFA was used primarily on special teams this year, but he appeared in all 17 regular season games as well as the Chiefs’ wild-card win. Christiansen last played in Week 17, which marked his fifth appearance of the campaign. Kansas City will need to make another roster move soon to create room for wideout Skyy Moore to come back into the lineup, after he was designated for return earlier today.

Wednesday’s minor NFL transactions:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed to the active roster: DT Phil Hoskins
Designated to return from IR: DT Leki Fotu

Carolina Panthers

Placed on IR: OLB Amare Barno

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed off Bengals’ practice squad: TE Zach Gentry
Placed on IR: TE Jesper Horsted
Waived: T Justin Herron

Minnesota Vikings

Placed on IR: TE T.J. Hockenson (story)

San Francisco 49ers

Signed: T Matt Pryor
Designated to return from IR: WR Danny Gray
Waived: RB Jeremy McNichols

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Designated to return from IR: DL Mike Greene

Washington Commanders

Designated to return from IR: LB De’Jon Harris

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/1/23

December 1st, 2023 at 7:51pm CST by Ely Allen

The first minor transactions of December:

Carolina Panthers

Signed to active roster: WR Mike Strachan
Waived: CB David Long

Cleveland Browns

Placed on reserve/suspended list: WR Michael Woods

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed to active roster: DL Pat O’Connor
Placed on IR: DL Mike Greene

Long gets waived from the Panthers’ roster just a week after starting for them against the Titans. Long, who was claimed off of waivers about a month ago, has not been a regular starter in Carolina but was forced into action due to the injury absences of C.J. Henderson and Jaycee Horn. With both players nearing their return, and the recent waiver claim of Shaquill Griffin, the Panthers decided to bring up Strachan instead holding onto Long. The big-bodied receiver had one catch for 45 yards as a practice squad callup earlier this year.

Woods has received a six-game suspension for an incident that took place this summer in which he violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Woods has already missed the entire season up until now on the reserve/non-football injury list after tearing his Achilles tendon back in April. While the Browns hoped for the possibility of a late-season return, this newest development guarantees that Woods will miss the entire 2023-24 season.
