Minor NFL Transactions: 8/7/22

August 7th, 2022 at 8:05pm CST by Rory Parks

We will keep track of today’s minor moves right here:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: DL Abdullah Anderson
Placed on IR: DL Vincent Taylor

Buffalo Bills

Activated from active/NFI list: G Rodger Saffold

Chicago Bears

Placed on IR: LB Christian Albright (from waived/injured)
Waived/injured: LB C.J. Avery

Cincinnati Bengals

Activated from active/PUP list: DE Khalid Kareem

Green Bay Packers

Activated from active/NFI list: CB Keisean Nixon

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: RB Matt Colburn
Waived/injured: RB Nathan Cottrell

New York Giants

Signed: OL Eric Smith

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed: OT Jarrid Williams

Washington Commanders

Signed: TE Eli Wolf, S Steven Parker
Released: QB Cole Kelley, LB Bryce Notree
Waived/injured: WR Jequez Ezzard

Saffold landed on the NFI list after injuring his ribs in a car accident. Getting their starting left guard back sooner rather than later is an important development for the Bills.

Colburn will take the place of Cottrell in the Jags’ RB room. The Wake Forest product played in four games for the USFL’s Philadelphia Stars this year, garnering 102 rushes for 457 yards (just under 4.5 YPC) and eight scores.

Cottrell has seen action in each of the past two years for Jacksonville, returning seven kicks in 2020 and handling one carry in 2021.

Wolf and Parker get preseason roster positions after successful workouts yesterday. The Commanders are looking for depth at both positions as they work towards a 53-man roster.

Jaguars Sign Duke Johnson To Practice Squad

September 7th, 2021 at 10:24am CST by Zachary Links

The Jaguars have added running back Duke Johnson to the practice squad. He’ll take the place of fellow RB Nathan Cottrell, who has been released from the 16-man squad.

Johnson made a name for himself with the Browns, where he averaged 4.3 yards per carry and, more importantly, did some serious damage as a receiver. Playing behind Browns starter Nick Chubb in 2018, Johnson managed only 40 carries, but did post 47 catches and was one of the NFL’s most efficient receiving backs, per Football Outsiders. From 2015 through 2018, Johnson led all running backs with 2,170 receiving yards.

He enjoyed a solid 2019 with the Texans, but wasn’t quite as efficient in the rushing game in 2020. His yards-per-tote average of 3.1 yards per carry didn’t move the needle much and he was hampered by injuries, including an ankle sprain. Meanwhile, new addition David Johnson managed 4.7 yards per run, plus 33 grabs for 314 yards. The Texans dropped him in February and he went unsigned until linking up with Urban Meyer & Co.
