Minor NFL Transactions: 12/23/23

December 23rd, 2023 at 7:53pm CST by Adam La Rose

Saturday’s gameday elevations and other minor moves around the league:

Arizona Cardinals

Elevated: WR Dan Chisena, WR Kaden Davis

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: FB Keith Smith
Signed to active roster: TE Tucker Fisk
Elevated: P Pat O’Donnell, OL John Leglue

Buffalo Bills

Elevated: RB Leonard Fournette

Carolina Panthers

Elevated: G Gabe Jackson, G J.D. DiRenzo

Chicago Bears

Elevated: WR Collin Johnson

Cleveland Browns

Elevated: S Tanner McCalister, LB Charlie Thomas

Dallas Cowboys

Elevated: DT Carl Davis, RB Malik Davis

Denver Broncos

Elevated: QB Ben DiNucci, OLB Ronnie Perkins

Detroit Lions

Elevated: K Michael Badgley (story), TE Anthony Firkser

Green Bay Packers

Elevated: WR Bo Melton, S Benny Sapp

Indianapolis Colts

Elevated: WR Ethan Fernea

Miami Dolphins

Elevated: CB Ethan Bonner, OLB Melvin Ingram

Minnesota Vikings

Elevated: WR Lucky Jackson, CB Jaylin Williams

New York Jets

Elevated: FB Nick Bawden, LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: CB Kelvin Joseph, S Ty Okada

Tennessee Titans

DB Shyheim Carter, CB Tay Gowan

Washington Commanders

Elevated: LS Tucker Addington, OL Nolan Laufenberg

The Bills will not have depth running back Ty Johnson available for tonight’s game, leading to the decision to elevate Fournette. The former Super Bowl champion will thus make his Buffalo debut, although with lead back James Cook in the lineup, Fournette will likely not receive many looks on offense. The latter has already returned a kickoff for the first time in his career, however.

Signed to the Dolphins’ practice squad last week, Ingram will also make his 2023 debut in Week 16. The 34-year-old last played during his Miami stint in 2022, during which time he started three games and recorded six sacks. With Jaelan Phillips out for the year, Ingram will look to once again give the Dolphins a rotational presence off the edge.

Elevated: T Conor McDermott

New Orleans Saints

Elevated: LB Cory Littleton

New York Giants

Signed to active roster: TE Lawrence Cager
Elevated: K Randy Bullock, LB Justin Hollins
Placed on IR: QB Tyrod Taylor, TE Darren Waller (story)

Philadelphia Eagles

Elevated: LB Ben VanSumeren

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: T Jason Peters

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: DL Pat O’Connor

Washington Commanders

Elevated: OT Alex Akingbulu, OL Nolan Laufenberg

With Kyler Murray not being activated from injured reserve this week, the Cardinals are heading into Week 9 with Clayton Tune as the only quarterback on their active roster. Driskel will be called up for the week as a standard gameday elevation to back up Tune.

With Matthew Stafford listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game, the Rams are adding some depth at the quarterback position. Dresser Winn had a breakout 2022 campaign at UT Martin, tossing 18 touchdowns while adding another three scores on the ground. He joined the Rams as an UDFA but was cut at the end of the preseason. He had a brief stint in the Canadian Football League before rejoining the Rams practice squad earlier this week. If Stafford can’t go, Brett Rypien will get the call under center for the Rams.

Peters will be elevated for the second straight week in Seattle. The 41-year-old, playing in his 19th NFL season, split snaps with right tackle Stone Forsythe last week against Cleveland.

Commanders Set 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 5:16pm CST by Ben Levine

The Commanders have been busy reducing their roster, with the organization cutting 12 players yesterday. The team finished off their transactions today, reducing their roster to 53 players:

Released:

DT Abdullah Anderson
TE/FB Alex Armah

Waived:

T Alex Akingbulu
WR Kazmeir Allen
DE William Bradley-King
G Mason Brooks
S Terrell Burgess
CB Tariq Castro-Fields
QB Jake Fromm
RB Derrick Gore
LB De’Jon Harris
T Jaryd Jones-Smith
C Tyler Larsen
G Nolan Laufenberg
DT Benning Potoa’e
S Kendall Smith
WR Brycen Tremayne
CB Jace Whittaker
CB Nick Whiteside II
CB Rachad Wildgoose

Placed on IR:

Despite tossing a pair of touchdowns in the preseason finale, Jake Fromm earned his walking papers from the Commanders. The quarterback was already facing an uphill battle to make the roster with Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett ahead of him on the depth chart, and he’ll certainly be a popular target if he makes it through waivers. The former fifth-round pick started a pair of games for the Giants in 2021.
