Sincere McCormick - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/3/24

Today’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Waived: DE Ronnie Perkins

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed to active roster: RB Sincere McCormick
Placed on IR: WR DJ Turner

Minnesota Vikings

Waived: LS Jake McQuaide

San Francisco 49ers

Claimed off waivers (from Jets): RB Israel Abanikanda

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed to active roster (from Lions practice squad): S Kaevon Merriweather

Tennessee Titans

Suspended: S Julius Wood

Sincere McCormick has seen a larger role in recent weeks as a practice squad elevation, and now the running back will be secured to the Raiders active roster. After spending the past few years hanging around the organization, the former UDFA finally made his NFL debut earlier this season. With the Raiders dealing with a depleted RB room in recent weeks, McCormick has seen an uptick in snaps, culminating in him collecting 65 yards from scrimmage on Black Friday.

Julius Wood has been hit with a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. The safety will now be sidelined for the rest of the 2024 campaign and one game in 2025. The undrafted rookie has appeared in nine games this season, with the majority of his snaps coming on special teams.

Thanksgiving Day minor moves from around the NFL:

Atlanta Falcons

Waived: G Jovaughn Gwyn

Baltimore Ravens

Designated to return from IR: CB T.J. Tampa

Cincinnati Bengals

Waived: G Andrew Stueber

Houston Texans

Signed to active roster: CB Myles Bryant
Placed on IR: TE Teagan Quitoriano

Las Vegas Raiders

Elevated: CB Kyu Blu Kelly, RB Sincere McCormick

Miami Dolphins

Elevated: LS Zach Triner

Quitoriano’s injury struggles continue. The depth tight end who often appears in running plays and multi-tight end sets has yet to prove he can stay on the field for much more than half a season. After appearing in 16 games (11 starts) over his first two years in the NFL, Quitoriano was only able to appear in seven games (four starts) before hitting injured reserve this year. Signed off the Bears’ practice squad to make up for the season-ending loss of Brevin Jordan, Quitoriano’s loss leaves Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover as the only healthy tight ends on the active roster as Quitoriano joins Jordan and Dalton Keene on IR. Houston has veteran Irv Smith on the practice squad, as well.

Waived: LB Benton Whitley
Elevated: WR Isaiah Hodgins, RB Dante Miller

New York Jets

LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball, QB Adrian Martinez

Pittsburgh Steelers

Activated from IR: OLB Jeremiah Moon
Elevated: WR Brandon Johnson, RB Jonathan Ward

San Francisco 49ers

Activated from IR: DT Kalia Davis
Elevated: DL T.Y. McGill, WR Trent Taylor

Washington Commanders

Activated from IR: QB Marcus Mariota
Elevated: CB Kevon Seymour, WR Brycen Tremayne

Mariota returned to practice on Wednesday, which was the earliest point at which he could be designated for return. As a result, it comes as little surprise he has been brought back onto Washington’s active roster. The 30-year-old is in his first season with the Commanders, and today’s move paves the way for him to handle backup duties moving forward.

Ngakoue remained on the free agent market into the start of the regular season. He was not connected to a Ravens reunion, but one took place last week. The journeyman sack artist had a brief spell with Baltimore in 2020, and he posted three sacks in 11 games. Ngakoue, 29, had one-and done campaigns in Vegas, Indianapolis and Chicago before taking a Ravens practice squad deal. He will make his debut tomorrow and aim to provide depth along the edge.

Peterman’s exit leaves two quarterbacks — the two that vied for the starting gig (Gardner Minshew, Aidan O’Connell) — on their 53-man roster. Peterman, however, has been quite resilient in his career. The Bears dropped him last year only to circle back via a practice squad invite. The eighth-year passer also has an extensive past with the Raiders, who rostered him for much of Jon Gruden‘s tenure. Teams have six practice squad slots they can use on vested veterans.

Guyton followed GM Tom Telesco from the Chargers. The ACL tear he suffered early during the 2022 season sidetracked his career, with the former Justin Herbert deep threat — who totaled 959 yards from 2020-21 — catching just 12 passes over the past two seasons. The Raiders kept rookie UDFA Ramel Keyton and third-year UDFA Tyreik McAllister among their six-man receiving corps. Four of the six wideouts on the Raiders’ roster are ex-UDFAs, with only Davante Adams and Tre Tucker being drafted.

The Raiders are using one of their injury activations on Taylor, who arrived via seventh-round pick this year. Elsewhere in the secondary, Webb is off the roster after having previously worked as a three-game starter. This came during Josh McDaniels‘ only full season in charge.

Raiders Reduce Roster To 53 Players

August 29th, 2023 at 10:47pm CST by Ben Levine

The Raiders cut down their roster to 53 players today. However, in the process, they were forced to move on from a handful of veterans:

Released:

Waived:

DE David Agoha
DT Matthew Butler
G McClendon Curtis
TE Cole Fotheringham
S Jaydon Grant
CB Tyler Hall
CB Azizi Hearn
LB Kana’i Mauga
RB Sincere McCormick
G Netane Muti
DE Adam Plant
TE John Samuel Shenker
DE George Tarlas
LB Drake Thomas
CB Sam Webb

Placed on IR:

OT Dalton Wagner

The Raiders signed Jaquan Johnson early during free agency, and there was hope he’d provide some experienced depth to their secondary. Ultimately, the team decided to go in another direction, but that doesn’t mean the safety won’t quickly find another gig elsewhere. Johnson got into 60 games for the Bills over the past four years, including a 2022 campaign where he finished with a career-high 32 tackles and one interception.

On the other side of the ball, the organization moved on from some notable offensive weapons. Keelan Cole Sr. got into 14 games for the Raiders last season, collecting 10 receptions for 141 yards. Phillip Dorsett II joined Las Vegas this offseason after spending the 2022 campaign with the Texans, where he hauled in 20 catches. Damien Williams has close to 500 touches in the NFL, although he only got into one game for the lowly Falcons last season.
