Minor Moves: Browns, Colts

October 3rd, 2014 at 4:40pm CST by Zachary Links

Today’s minor moves..

  • The Browns were awarded wide receiver Rodney Smith off waivers from the Vikings, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post (on Twitter). To make room, fellow wide receiver LaRon Byrd was cut. With Smith now off of the practice squad in Minnesota, the Vikings could look to re-sign quarterback Chandler Harnish.
  • The Colts waived fullback/linebacker Mario Harvey from their injured reserve with an injury settlement, according to Brian McIntyre (on Twitter). Harvey was placed on IR on Monday.

Minor Moves: Thursday

October 2nd, 2014 at 5:23pm CST by Luke Adams

Here are the latest minor transactions – including practice squad signings and cuts – from around the NFL, with any additional moves added to the top of the list throughout the day:

  • The Bears re-signed wide receiver Rashad Ross to their practice squad, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune (on Twitter). To make room, Chicago has released cornerback Jordan Sullen.
  • The Vikings have promoted quarterback Chandler Harnish, formerly of the Colts, from the practice squad to their 53-man roster in advance of tonight’s game in Green Bay, the team announced today. Wide receiver Rodney Smith has been cut to clear room for Harnish. The move may not bode well for the odds of Teddy Bridgewater playing against the Packers, though Minnesota has yet to rule him out.
  • The Packers are also signing a player to their roster from their practice squad before tonight’s contest, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, who reports (via Twitter) that defensive lineman Luther Robinson is being elevated. The club had an open roster spot, so no corresponding move will be necessary.
  • The NFC North is a busy division today, as the Bears are expected to finalize a move this afternoon as well. Adam Caplan of ESPN.com tweets that the team is set to fill the 10th and final spot on its practice squad by signing guard Conor Boffeli, who was in camp with the Texans in August.
