Stantley Thomas-Oliver - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 7/31/24

July 31st, 2024 at 8:25pm CST by Ely Allen

Wednesday’s minor transactions to close out the month:

Baltimore Ravens

Waived (with injury settlement): DT Rayshad Nichols

Buffalo Bills

Signed: S Terrell Burgess
Waived: P Jack Browning

Carolina Panthers

Signed: RB Dillon Johnson
Waived (with injury designation): WR Daewood Davis

Indianapolis Colts

Waived: G Lewis Kidd

Kansas City Chiefs

Activated from active/PUP list: CB Jaylen Watson

Las Vegas Raiders

Placed on reserve/PUP list: LB Darien Butler

Miami Dolphins

Signed: WR Willie Snead
Waived: DT Mario Kendricks

Minnesota Vikings

Waived: LB Abraham Beauplan

New York Giants

Claimed off waivers (from Eagles): CB Mario Goodrich
Released (with non-football injury designation): CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: WR Tarik Black
Waived: DL Jonathan Marshall

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: DT Rodney Mathews, RB Kairee Robinson
Waived: LB Easton Gibbs
Waived (with injury settlement): RB Ricky Person

Snead is the latest veteran wideout to join the Dolphins receiving corps. He hasn’t really contributed much to the NFL since his 2020 campaign with the Ravens, but he’ll get another chance this summer in South Beach.

Carolina brings in Johnson just a day after watching veteran Rashaad Penny hang up his cleats. In order to make room for Johnson, the Panthers let good of Davis, the team’s recent signee from the UFL.

Butler was waived after a failed physical two days ago. After going unclaimed, he’ll get to stay in Vegas by taking a place on the reserve/PUP list.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 10/30/23

October 30th, 2023 at 6:16pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s practice squad transactions:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: LB Donavan Mutin
Released: P Pat O’Donnell

Chicago Bears

Signed: OT Aviante Collins

Indianapolis Colts

Signed: S Tyreque Jones
Released: DT Ross Blacklock

Miami Dolphins

Signed: CB Parry Nickerson
Released: CB Mark Milton

New York Giants

Signed: CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: LB Mykal Walker
Released: LB Caleb Johnson

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: C Joey Hunt
Released: OL Greg Eiland

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: CB Derrek Pitts
Released: LB Brandon Bouyer-Randle

Mykal Walker has found a new home after getting cut by the Raiders last week. The former fourth-round pick spent the first three seasons of his career with the Falcons, including a 2022 campaign where he collected a career-high 107 tackles in 16 games (12 starts). However, since that breakout season, the linebacker has struggled to hold a job. He was waived by Atlanta back in August and was claimed by the Bears, but Chicago ended up cutting him at the end of the preseason. Walker later joined the Raiders practice squad and spent about a month in Las Vegas.

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 9/22/23

September 22nd, 2023 at 7:02pm CST by Ely Allen

The league’s practice squad transactions heading into the weekend:

Arizona Cardinals

Released from practice squad IR with injury settlement: S Jovante Moffatt

Carolina Panthers

Released from practice squad IR: CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver

Cincinnati Bengals

Signed: QB Reid Sinnett

Miami Dolphins

Signed: T Ryan Hayes
Released: T James Tunstall

New York Jets

Signed: OL Chris Glaser
Released: RB Xazavian Valladay

With starting quarterback Joe Burrow still nursing a calf injury that has hampered him throughout the first two weeks of the season, the signing of Sinnett becomes significant. Burrow’s status is reportedly still up in the air for this Sunday, and with practice squad quarterback Will Grier getting signed away to the Patriots’ active roster yesterday, Sinnett would now serve as QB2 to Jake Browning if Burrow can’t go.

Panthers Reduce Roster To 53

August 29th, 2023 at 9:07pm CST by Ben Levine

The Panthers cut down their roster to 53 players today, but in the process, they ruled out a key offensive lineman for at least a month:

Released:

OL Michael Jordan
OL Justin McCray
S Eric Rowe
WR Javon Wims

Waived:

OL Deonte Brown
RB Spencer Brown
OL JD Direnzo
LB Ace Eley
LB Kobe Jones
LB Eku Leota
CB Mac McCain
CB Herb Miller
CB Mark Milton
WR Shi Smith
CB Keith Taylor
OL Sam Tecklenburg
LB Jordan Thomas
CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver
WR Josh Vann
DL Raequan Williams

Placed on PUP:

G Austin Corbett

Placed on IR:

DE Henry Anderson

Austin Corbett continues to rehab from a torn ACL and has been sitting on PUP throughout the preseason. The transaction means the starting guard can’t be activated to the active roster until Week 5, but he may need longer to get into form. NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe tweets that the team is hoping to have him back midway through the season. Rookie Chandler Zavala will likely slide into the starting lineup while Corbett is sidelined.

Eric Rowe has 100 games of experience in stints with the Eagles, Patriots, and Dolphins. He’s spent the past four seasons in Miami, starting 39 of his 63 appearances. This included a 2022 campaign where he got into 14 games (six starts), finishing with 56 tackles and a pair of sacks. The two-time Super Bowl champ joined the Panthers back in April.

Panthers Designate Sam Darnold For Return

December 15th, 2021 at 10:56am CST by Zachary Links

The Panthers have designated quarterback Sam Darnold and cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III for return from the injured reserve list, per a club announcement. Both players will be allowed to practice starting today, enabling them to return at any point within the next 21 days.

Darnold has been out with a shoulder injury since Week 10. Specifically, a partially fractured right scapula. While this was a new injury, Darnold is no stranger to the trainer’s table. The 2018 first-rounder has now missed at least three games in each of his first four seasons.

The ex-Jet was soaring early on this year, but that didn’t last long. Darnold was leading the league in interceptions before his injury. Now, thanks to missed time, his INT tally (11) has been leapfrogged by several QBs with No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence leading the way (14 INTs).

So far, Darnold has a 4-5 record across nine starts. Since then, they’ve used P.J. Walker and old pal Cam Newton under center. That worked out nicely in Week 10 as they upset the Cardinals, but they’ve dropped three straight ever since.

The Panthers traded second-, fourth- and sixth-round picks for Darnold and picked up his fully guaranteed 2022 option, which is worth upwards than $18MM. Still, they’re expected to go QB shopping in the offseason.

Per league rules, Darnold and Oliver will be eligible to play this Sunday against the Bills.
