Trishton Jackson - Pro Football Rumors

NFL Reserve/Futures Contracts: 1/16/25

January 16th, 2025 at 7:48pm CST by Ben Levine

Today’s reserve/futures contracts:

Arizona Cardinals

WR Trishton Jackson, WR Quez Watkins

Minnesota Vikings

DL Jalen Redmond, CB Ambry Thomas

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

P Jake Julien

The Cardinals snagged a pair of wide receivers from recently-eliminated playoff teams. Quez Watkins spent all of this season on the Steelers practice squad, while Trishton Jackson was a member of the Vikings’ taxi squad when they were knocked out of the postseason. Watkins brings the most experience of the duo, as the former sixth-round pick got into 49 games with the Eagles between 2020 and 2023.

The Vikings added a former 49ers third-round pick in Ambry Thomas. The cornerback got into 42 games across three seasons in San Francisco, collecting 79 tackles and two interceptions. Thomas spent most of the 2024 campaign on the 49ers injured reserve, but he was cut by the team last month. He was claimed by the Colts but immediately released after failing a physical, and he subsequently landed on Minnesota’s practice squad.

San Francisco 49ers

Elevated: K Anders Carlson, S Jaylen Mahoney

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: CB Faion Hicks, CB Josh Jobe

Autry was hit with a six-game PED suspension in July, leaving the Texans without a key figure along the defensive line. The free agent pickup could have suited up by means of Houston using his one-week roster exemption; instead, he has been activated in time for Week 7. Autry, 34, posted a career-high 11 sacks last season and he will look to make an immediate impact during his Texans debut. Especially with Mario Edwards having been issued a four-game suspension of his own earlier this week, he should have a notable role right away.

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/15/23

December 15th, 2023 at 7:54pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s minor transactions, including some practice squad callups for the Saturday games:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed from Seahawks’ practice squad: OLB Tyreke Smith

Carolina Panthers

Signed to active roster: DE Chris Wormley
Placed on IR: G Justin McCray

Denver Broncos

Signed to active roster: TE Lucas Krull

Indianapolis Colts

Elevated: WR Ethan Fernea, RB Tyler Goodson

Minnesota Vikings

Elevated: RB Myles Gaskin, WR Trishton Jackson

Pittsburgh Steelers

Elevated: LB Kyron Johnson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed to active roster: DT Deadrin Senat

Washington Commanders

Activated from IR: G Saahdiq Charles
Placed on IR: TE Curtis Hodges

Getting Charles back should provide a bit of a boost for a Commanders’ offensive line that has allowed quarterback Sam Howell to be sacked an NFL-leading 58 times. That being said, they led the league in that category when Charles was healthy, as well. Still, as Charles attempts to come back from the calf injury that sidelined him for six games, he’ll have to overcome second-year guard Chris Paul, who has been starting in his place since the injury. While Charles had been struggling in a contract year, his replacement has ranked as the fourth-worst guard in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus (subscription required).

Wormley, Krull, and Senat all make their way up to the active roster for two reasons: first, injuries, and second, they’ve already appeared as standard gameday elevations off of the practice squad the maximum three times. In order to appear in any other games this year, all three needed to be signed to new contracts. If the players they are replacing come back from injury before the end of the season, any of them can be waived, re-signed to the practice squad, and elevated an additional three times.

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.

Here are the gameday elevations and other minor moves made around the league in advance of Week 8:

Tennessee Titans

Waived: LB Chance Campbell, CB Shyheim Carter
Elevated: LB Joe Jones, RB Jonathan Ward

Washington Commanders

Signed to active roster: FB Alex Armah
Elevated: CB Tariq Castro-Fields, LB Jabril Cox

Wilkinson’s loss will be notable for the Cardinals, given his status as an entrenched starter at the left guard spot. The 28-year-old joined Arizona on a one-year deal worth the veteran’s minimum in free agency after stints in Denver, Chicago and Atlanta. Trystan Colon replaced him in the starting lineup in Week 7, and that will likely continue for the time being. Wilkinson will be out for at least four weeks as a result of the IR move.

Ridgeway has been out since Week 1, his Texans debut. The former 49er joined the Texans in a move which allowed him to continue working under head coach DeMeco Ryans. Ridgeway ended last season on IR, so he will be looking for an extended run of availability in his new home. A veteran of 78 games (and 19 starts), he will aim to carve out a rotational role up front.

Peters was brought in by the Seahawks while they were dealing with injury problems at both tackle spots. Blindside blocker Charles Cross has since returned, so Peters’ most familiar spot will not be available if he is to make his Seattle debut on Sunday. The fact the latter is healthy and in game shape does mean, however, that he will be eligible to play in a 19th NFL season.

Minor NFL Transactions: 10/23/23

Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Cleveland Browns

Waived: RB Deon Jackson

Houston Texans

Waived: CB D’Angelo Ross

Jacksonville Jaguars

Designated for return from IR: CB Gregory Junior

Minnesota Vikings

Elevated: WR Trishton Jackson, OLB Luiji Vilain

New York Giants

Signed off Panthers’ practice squad: RB Jashaun Corbin

San Francisco 49ers

Elevated: WR Chris Conley, CB Shemar Jean-Charles

This marks a New York return for Corbin, who went to training camp with the Giants. A UDFA out of Florida State, Corbin signed a reserve/futures contract with the Giants in January but did not make their 53-man roster. The Panthers had kept Corbin on their practice squad since early September. Rather than promote Corbin to their 53-man roster to block this New York return, Carolina will let him join the Giants’ 53. Corbin joins Saquon Barkley, Gary Brightwell and fifth-round rookie Eric Gray as running backs on Big Blue’s 53-man roster. Both Brightwell (hamstring) and Gray (calf) suffered injuries in Week 7, creating a need at the position.
