Jones was picked up by the Giants' practice squad Thursday, Michael Elsen of the team's official site reports.

Jones spent the 2022 season on the Bills, where he played all 304 snaps on special teams. The 2011 fourth-round pick out of Eastern Washington brings plenty of experience and will be a valuable stash for the Giants should they require more special-teams experience on their active roster.

Wilson is one of three undrafted rookies on Green Bay's initial 53-man roster, Wes Hodkiewicz of packers.com reports.

The Packers have one of the youngest rosters in the league, though the RB room is in sturdy, veteran hands with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon ahead of Wilson on the depth chart. Wilson was the NFL's leading rusher this preseason with 223 yards on the ground, proving not to be overmatched after a college career at Division II Fort Valley State. He isn't likely to get many snaps on offense, if any, when the Bears host the Packers in Week 1.

Strong may have a role in the Browns offense to start the season, Irie Harris of cleveland.com reports.

Strong is one of three RBs on the initial 53-man roster, along with Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford, after the Browns traded OT Tyrone Wheatley to New England for the running back this past Sunday. While Ford's recent return to practice after battling a hamstring injury suggests Strong may not really be needed Week 1, a small role on offense isn't out of the question, nor is playing time on special teams.

Chandler and Myles Gaskin will provide depth behind Alexander Mattison to start the season, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

With Kene Nwangwu (undisclosed) placed on injured reserve and rookie DeWayne McBride landing on the practice squad, Minnesota signed Gaskin on Wednesday to provide some experience behind Mattison. While Gaskin could earn a role, Chandler is more likely to get touches off the bench Week 1 against Tampa Bay and will also replace Nwangwu on kickoff returns.

Mims was signed to the Saints' practice squad Thursday,

Mims was unable to earn a depth running back role in Buffalo and was ultimately waived during final roster cuts. He will now look to acclimate to the Saints' playbook as soon as possible. The undrafted free agent is coming off a collegiate career at Fresno State.

The Ravens placed Mitchell (shoulder) on injured reserve Thursday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

Mitchell injured his shoulder in the Ravens' second preseason game against the Commanders following a 31-yard run. Despite the injury and missing some time during training camp, he was able to beat out Melvin Gordon and Owen Wright for the No. 4 running back spot behind J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. Mitchell will now have to sit out for at least the first four games of the 2023 season.

Evans signed with the Dolphins' practice squad Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Evans spent training camp with the Bills competing for the No. 3 running back spot against Ty Johnson and Latavius Murray. The 2020 third-round pick out of Appalachian State will now spend the beginning of the 2023 season on the Dolphins' practice squad and await an opportunity to be called up to the main roster.

Jones was added to the Saints' practice squad Thursday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Jones spent the offseason and training camp in Denver but ultimately did not make it through final roster cuts. He will now work to get acclimated with the Saints' playbook. The 25-year-old spent his first two-and-a-half seasons in New Orleans before joining Seattle midway through the 2022 campaign.

Mason (foot) was sidelined for Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Mason is considered day-to-day with a sprained foot. When healthy, he is currently slated to back up Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell in the 49ers' backfield, while Tyrion Davis-Price should be in the mix as well. His status ahead of Week 1 should become more clear next week when San Francisco releases its initial injury report.

Felton signed with the Bengals' practice squad Thursday.

Felton's addition was pending a physical and is now official. The former Brown will stay in the AFC North and work to earn a chance on the team's 53-man roster.
