Minor NFL Transactions: 12/24/23

Sunday’s minor moves around the league:

Kansas City Chiefs

Elevated: DT Mike Pennel, WR Montrell Washington

Las Vegas Raiders

Activated from IR: CB Brandon Facyson
Elevated: TE Cole Fotheringham, FB Jakob Johnson

New York Giants

Placed on IR: T Evan Neal
Activated from IR: T Matt Peart
Elevated: K Mason Crosby (story), LB Tomon Fox

Philadelphia Eagles

Elevated: DB Tristin McCollum, KB Brandon Smith

Facyson has not played all season, but the Raiders opened his practice window on Dec. 6, making him eligible to return to the field. The 29-year-old played for the Colts last season, but he spent the previous year with the Raiders, starting nine of his 12 games. Facyson is under contract through 2024, but none of his $2.27MM salary is guaranteed. Logging some game action down the stretch could thus be beneficial to his roster security.

Neal has missed the past five games due to an ankle injury, and today’s move means he will be shut down for the remainder of the season. The 2022 first-rounder underwhelmed when on the field, to the point where a switch to guard was suggested. No such move has been given consideration, but Neal will nevertheless face considerable expectations to rebound in 2024. Peart will have the chance to see playing time late in the year after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 5.

Giants Set Initial 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 9:01pm CST by Ely Allen

Most of the headlines concerning the Giants came this summer as the team came to a long-term deal with quarterback Daniel Jones and a short-term solution to satisfy running back Saquon Barkley. Still, the team made the necessary moves today to get towards a 53-man roster. Here are the cuts from today:

Waived:

DT Ryder Anderson
DE Habakkuk Baldonado
LB Darrian Beavers
S Alex Cook
RB Jashaun Corbin
QB Tommy DeVito
LB Tomon Fox
CB Gemon Green
LB Dyontae Johnson
TE Ryan Jones
LS Cameron Lyons
T Tyre Phillips
WR Kalil Pimpleton
DT Kobe Smith
LB Ray Wilborn

Released:

C Sean Harlow
WR David Sills
LB Oshane Ximines

Ximines is potentially the biggest name here. A former third-round pick in 2019, Ximines has failed to live up to his draft stock, only starting nine games during the first four years of his career. He was re-signed on a cheap, one-year deal at the start of free agency, but ultimately, it seems like New York decided to move on.

The sixth-round rookie draft pick Beavers had a strong chance not only at a roster spot but at a starting spot. A torn ACL in the preseason ended any hopes of a starting role as a rookie for Beavers.

On offense, Phillips was a top contender for the swing tackle job after filling in for Evan Neal in four starts at right tackle last year. It appears he lost out on the role to Matt Peart.

Lastly, the undrafted rookie quarterback DeVito did his best over the preseason to earn a roster spot, drawing praise from many of his coaches. Ultimately, he proved unable to convince the Giants to keep a third passer behind Jones and Tyrod Taylor.
