Spector will miss at least the next four games as a result of the Bills’ move. He has remained a mainstay on special teams this year, having also done so in 2022 and ’23. The former seventh-rounder has made three starts on defense, however, so his absence will be felt moving forward. Linebacker has been a position hit hard by injuries this season, and Buffalo’s depth at the second level will now be tested even further.

Wattenberg had his 21-day practice window opened by the Broncos earlier this week, paving the way for today’s activation. The 27-year-old operated as the team’s starting center prior to going down after having won a summer competition for the gig with Alex Forsyth. Forsyth handled first-team duties over the past four games, drawing a superior PFF evaluation and therefore potentially playing his way into an extended look atop the depth chart. At a minimum, having Wattenberg back will give Denver – a team with three IR activations left – depth up front.

Chargers Waive RB Isaiah Spiller, T Alex Leatherwood; Get Down To 53

August 27th, 2024 at 7:35pm CST by Ely Allen

The Chargers made their way down to 53 players today with a number of waives and releases:

Released:

TE Donald Parham
LB Shaquille Quarterman

Waived:

G Karsen Barnhart
TE Luke Benson
DL Jerrod Clark
S Akeem Dent
RB Elijah Dotson
OLB Andrew Farmer
TE Tucker Fisk
WR Jaelen Gill
LB Frank Ginda
CB Matt Hankins
S Thomas Harper
TE Zach Heins
DL Christopher Hinton
OLB Savion Jackson
LB Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste
WR Cornelius Johnson
WR Jaylen Johnson
CB Robert Kennedy
C Brent Laing
T Alex Leatherwood
LB Shane Lee
OLB Tre’Mon Morris-Brash
DL CJ Okoye
G Willis Patrick
QB Luis Perez
S Jalyn Phillips
TE Isaac Rex
OLB Ty Shelby
RB Isaiah Spiller
CB Zamari Walton
WR Isaiah Wooden

Placed on IR:

OLB Chris Collins
T Tyler McLellan
OLB Chris Rumph
IOL Bucky Williams

Placed on IR (designated for return):

LB Nick Niemann

There aren’t too many surprises here. Of the veterans, Parham fell victim to the addition of two veteran receiving options, and Quarterman was a long-time special teamer.

Michigan wide receiver Johnson was the only drafted rookie who failed to make the roster after being selected in the seventh round. While no undrafted rookies made the roster either, McLellan and Williams will stick around on the IR, where they will remain out for the year. Niemann will have the option to be activated after four games.

The biggest cuts we otherwise see are Spiller, who got some run as a depth option at running back last year, and Leatherwood. Leatherwood, the former first-round pick out of Alabama, continues to struggle to find his place in the NFL.

Washington Commanders

Waived (with injury settlement): T Alex Akingbulu
Waived: G Mason Brooks

Cabral joins the Cowboys after UFL stints in Birmingham and Michigan. He adds more depth to the team’s offensive line after the team lost Chuma Edoga in their first preseason game and saw Earl Bostick helped off the field today. Toney suffered a groin injury, leading to this injury waiver, but could return to the team should he clear waivers.

Powers-Johnson was on some concerning ground with how much time he had missed with a concussion, but the Raiders saw him return to practice today.

The 49ers are adding some significant depth on the defensive line in Williams, who has vast starting experience in the NFL. Cutting Turner could mean that the return of Dre Greenlaw may on a better timeline than expected.

Today’s minor moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: WR Odieu Hiliare
Waived (with injury designation): TE Tucker Fisk

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed: WR Alex Bachman

New York Jets

Signed: TE Kevin Foelsch
Released: QB Colby Suits

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: DL Earnest Brown IV
Released: RB Patrick Laird

Earnest Brown was a fifth-round pick by the Rams back in 2021. He collected 14 tackles in 12 games through his first two seasons in Los Angeles, but he didn’t get into a single game with the big-league club during the 2023 campaign. He wasn’t retained via a futures contract this offseason, allowing him to catch on with the 49ers. He was waived by San Francisco earlier this month.

He’ll be taking the roster spot previously held by Patrick Laird, who spent the past two seasons on Tampa Bay’s practice squad. The former UDFA previously got into 37 games for the Dolphins between 2019 and 2021, collecting 533 yards from scrimmage. The Buccaneers added a pair of undrafted running backs in D.J. Williams and Ramon Jefferson, so the team may prefer to opt for a rookie on the taxi squad.

Saturday’s gameday elevations and other minor moves around the league:

Arizona Cardinals

Miami Dolphins

Elevated: CB Ethan Bonner, OLB Melvin Ingram

Minnesota Vikings

Elevated: WR Lucky Jackson, CB Jaylin Williams

New York Jets

Elevated: FB Nick Bawden, LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: CB Kelvin Joseph, S Ty Okada

Tennessee Titans

DB Shyheim Carter, CB Tay Gowan

Washington Commanders

Elevated: LS Tucker Addington, OL Nolan Laufenberg

The Bills will not have depth running back Ty Johnson available for tonight’s game, leading to the decision to elevate Fournette. The former Super Bowl champion will thus make his Buffalo debut, although with lead back James Cook in the lineup, Fournette will likely not receive many looks on offense. The latter has already returned a kickoff for the first time in his career, however.

Signed to the Dolphins’ practice squad last week, Ingram will also make his 2023 debut in Week 16. The 34-year-old last played during his Miami stint in 2022, during which time he started three games and recorded six sacks. With Jaelan Phillips out for the year, Ingram will look to once again give the Dolphins a rotational presence off the edge.

Philadelphia Eagles

Elevated: LB Ben VanSumeren

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: T Jason Peters

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: DL Pat O’Connor

Washington Commanders

Elevated: OT Alex Akingbulu, OL Nolan Laufenberg

With Kyler Murray not being activated from injured reserve this week, the Cardinals are heading into Week 9 with Clayton Tune as the only quarterback on their active roster. Driskel will be called up for the week as a standard gameday elevation to back up Tune.

With Matthew Stafford listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game, the Rams are adding some depth at the quarterback position. Dresser Winn had a breakout 2022 campaign at UT Martin, tossing 18 touchdowns while adding another three scores on the ground. He joined the Rams as an UDFA but was cut at the end of the preseason. He had a brief stint in the Canadian Football League before rejoining the Rams practice squad earlier this week. If Stafford can’t go, Brett Rypien will get the call under center for the Rams.

Peters will be elevated for the second straight week in Seattle. The 41-year-old, playing in his 19th NFL season, split snaps with right tackle Stone Forsythe last week against Cleveland.

Here are the minor moves made around the league in advance of the Week 7 slate of Sunday games:

Arizona Cardinals

Activated from NFI list: CB Garrett Williams

Baltimore Ravens

Elevated: S DeAndre Houston-Carson

Buffalo Bills

Released: TE Darrell Daniels
Elevated: RBs Mohamed Ibrahim, Devine Ozigbo

Green Bay Packers

Released: OLB Justin Hollins

Jacksonville Jaguars

Waived: QB Nathan Rourke

Kansas City Chiefs

Restored to active roster (from suspension exemption): DE Charles Omenihu

Las Vegas Raiders

Elevated: CB Cornell Armstrong

Los Angeles Chargers

Elevated: WR Keelan Doss, S Mark Webb

Miami Dolphins

Elevated: TE Tanner Conner

New England Patriots

Elevated: WR Jalen Reagor, DT Trysten Hill

New York Giants

Elevated: QB Tommy DeVito, G Jalen Mayfield

Seattle Seahawks

Signed to active roster: C Joey Hunt
Waived: OL Ben Brown
Elevated: WR Easop Winston, RB SaRodorick Thompson

Washington Commanders

Elevated: DT Abdullah Anderson, CB Tariq Castro-Fields

Dulcich already had one IR stint this season due to an aggravation of last year’s hamstring injury. The 2022 third-rounder has appeared in only two contests so far this season, and in the most recent one he suffered yet another setback. As a result, he will once again be shut down for at least four weeks.

The Giants’ decision to again promote DeVito points to starter Daniel Jones missing another game. Indeed, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Jones is considered a “longshot” to play tomorrow against the Commanders. It will in all likelihood be Tyrod Taylor under center for New York in Week 7 while Jones continues to recover from his neck injury.

Falcons Reduce Roster To 53 Players

August 29th, 2023 at 10:59pm CST by Ben Levine

The Falcons roster took shape today. While the team moved on from some notable veterans, the front office surely had a tougher time waiving a long list of promising young players:

Released:

Waived:

DB Micah Abernathy
WR Slade Bolden
DB Natrone Brooks
DB Cliff Chatman
DL Carlos Davis
DB Lukas Denis
TE Tucker Fisk
LB Frank Ginda
DB Darren Hall
DL Demone Harris
WR Keilahn Harris
TE Parker Hesse
DL Timmy Horne
RB Godwin Igwebuike
LB Mike Jones
DL LaCale London
WR Zay Malone
OL Michal Menet
DL Caeveon Patton
RB Clint Ratkovich
OL Trevor Reid
WR Mathew Sexton
OL Justin Shaffer
OL Tyler Vrabel
RB Carlos Washington Jr.
OL Barry Wesley

Placed on IR:

DB Cornell Armstrong
WR Penny Hart

One of the most surprising cuts was Darren Hall, who has started 10 of his 31 appearances for the Falcons over the past two seasons. The former fourth-round pick started nine games this past year, finishing with 45 tackles, three passes defended, and one forced fumble.

Parker Hesse spent the past two seasons in Atlanta, serving mostly as a blocking tight end. The former UDFA started seven of his 17 appearances this past season, hauling in nine catches for 89 yards.
