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.

August 28th, 2024 at 7:10pm CST by Sam Robinson

Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline Tuesday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters. In addition to waiver claims, teams can begin constructing their 16-man practice squads today. These Colts, Jaguars, Texans and Titans moves are noted below.

Jaguars Finalize 53-Man Roster

August 27th, 2024 at 1:50pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Jaguars have unveiled their list of cuts and other roster moves which will bring the team to the 53-man limit ahead of today’s deadline. Here is the full breakdown:

Released:

S Adrian Amos
QB C.J. Beathard (via injury settlement)
TE Josiah Deguara
S Terrell Edmunds
CB Tre Flowers
DE Joe Gaziano
OL Blake Hance
LB Tanner Muse
CB Amani Oruwariye
OL Tyler Shatley

Waived:

TE Shawn Bowman
CB Christian Braswell
RB Gary Brightwell
WR Joshua Cephus
DE D.J. Coleman
WR Elijah Cooks
CB Erick Hallett II
RB Jalen Jackson
OL Steven Jones
TE Patrick Murtagh (injury designation)
QB E.J. Perry
S Josh Proctor
WR Austin Trammell
OL Darryl Williams

Placed on IR:

RB Keilan Robinson
S Andrew Wingard

Beathard’s inclusion in Jacksonville’s cuts comes after he suffered a groin injury in the team’s second preseason contest. He was unable to suit up for the Jaguars’ exhibition finale, and today’s move clears the way for Mac Jones to take on backup duties. The former Patriots first-rounder was dealt to his hometown team this offseason, but a competition had been ongoing between he and Beathard. Now, Jones will move forward as QB2 behind Trevor Lawrence.

Beathard will be free to sign with a new team, although he is of course unlikely to find a suitor until he returns to full health. Other veterans like Amos and Edmunds joined Jacksonville this offseason, but they too will now have to search for a new opportunity. Several of the players waived will likely find themselves on the practice squad shortly, but Perry not doing so could leave the Jags in need of QB depth especially if Beathard were to land with a new team.

In 2024, teams are allowed to designate two players to return from injured reserve without naming them to the initial 53-man roster. That is the case for both Robinson and Wingard. The former was selected in the fifth round of this year’s draft and will provide backfield depth when healthy, while the latter is recovering from a knee injury. Both Robinson and Wingard will miss at least the first four weeks of the campaign, and their activations will count toward Jacksonville’s limit of eight for the season.

Today’s minor moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Waived: WR Isaiah Wooden
Placed on reserve/retired list: OT Tyler Vrabel

Baltimore Ravens

Signed: LB Quincy Roche
Placed on IR: DE Malik Hamm

Buffalo Bills

Waived: LB Shayne Simon

Carolina Panthers

Signed: DE Levi Bell

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: DE Raymond Johnson, LB Tanner Muse
Waived: DE Andre Carter, LB Trey Kiser

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: DB Kyler McMichael, TE Matt Sokol
Released: WR Marquez Callaway, DB Josiah Scott

Marquez Callaway will once again hit free agency after having bounced around the NFL last season. The wideout spent time with the Broncos, Raiders, Saints (second stint) during the 2023 campaign. He caught on with the Steelers via a reserve/futures contract in January but ultimately lasted only a few days into training camp.

The former UDFA had a breakout campaign as a sophomore in New Orleans, finishing the 2021 season with 46 catches for 698 yards and six touchdowns. He saw a reduced role in 2022 before hitting the free agency carousel in 2023.

December 19th, 2023 at 7:06pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s minor moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed off Browns practice squad: DT Tommy Togiai
Waived: DL Travis Bell

Baltimore Ravens

Signed to active roster: RB Melvin Gordon III
Placed on IR: RB Keaton Mitchell (story)

Los Angeles Chargers

Designated for return from IR: LB Tanner Muse

With Keaton Mitchell done for the season, the Ravens are adding a veteran to their active roster. Gordon has spent the entire season with the Ravens organization, compiling 99 yards on 16 touches in two games. He’ll now have a spot on the 53-man roster for the rest of the season, serving as the team’s RB3 behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/21/23

November 21st, 2023 at 9:49pm CST by Adam La Rose

Today’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Placed on IR: DL Leki Fotu, LB Kyzir White (story)
Signed: S Qwuantrezz Knight
Promoted: DL Ben Stille

Baltimore Ravens

Designated for return from IR: CB Damarion Williams

Cleveland Browns

Placed on IR: S Rodney McLeod (story)

Indianapolis Colts

Promoted: S Ronnie Harrison

Los Angeles Chargers

Placed on IR: LB Tanner Muse
Promoted: LB Blake Lynch

Miami Dolphins

Placed on IR: RB Salvon Ahmed
Promoted: WR Robbie Chosen

Minnesota Vikings

Promoted: DT Sheldon Day
Waived: Trishton Jackson

New York Giants

Signed off Vikings’ practice squad: LB Benton Whitley

San Francisco 49ers

Placed on IR: S Talanoa Hufanga (story)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: LB J.J. Russell

Harrison was among the Colts’ final roster cuts in August, but he was immediately retained via the practice squad. Despite that move, the 26-year-old has yet to make an appearance in Indianapolis as a gameday elevation. He will now have the chance to make his Colts debut, having taken the 53-man roster spot of Shaquille Leonard after the latter’s surprise cut.

Muse will be required to miss at least the next four weeks as a result of the IR move. The former Seahawk has played exclusively on special teams to date during his first season with the Chargers, logging a 73% snap share in that capacity. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports Muse could still play later this season, something which will give Los Angeles a boost in the third phase if they are still in playoff contention down the stretch.

Ahmed’s foot injury, coupled with a new round of uncertainty regarding the healthy of rookie sensation De’Von Achane, could leave Miami shorthanded in the backfield. While it remains to be seen if the latter will miss time after coming back from an IR stint, the former will not be available moving forward. Ahmed is out for the season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. The 24-year-old scored two total touchdowns on 38 touches this year, his fourth with the Dolphins. He is set to hit free agency this offseason, but the injury will no doubt hurt his market.
