The Colts signed Castle to the practice squad Monday.

The undrafted rookie out of Duke failed to make the Colts' 53-man roster but did enough to receive an invitation to the team's practice squad. He logged 18 carries for 88 yards across the Colts' three preseason games and would be a candidate for elevation to the active roster if one of Jonathan Taylor, Seth McGowan or DJ Giddens were to miss time.

The Packers signed Strong to the practice squad Monday.

The Packers cut Strong on Sunday as part of the team's effort to reach an initial 53-man roster. The running back promptly rejoined the team and will look to prove himself worthy of elevation to the active roster if MarShawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks or Kaleb Johnson must miss time with injury.

The Panthers signed Tyus to their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Tyus signed a reserve/future contract with Carolina but was unable to earn a roster spot. With only three running backs on the active roster and both Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) and Jonathon Brooks (general soreness) dealing with injuries, Tyus could be elevated for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Bears.

Schrader signed with the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Schrader put together a solid preseason with the Broncos, finishing with 24 carries for 74 yards and nine catches on as many targets for 101 yards and a touchdown across three games. It wasn't quite enough for him to crack the team's 53-man roster, but he impressed the coaching staff enough to be invited to stay in Denver on the practice squad.

The Bengals signed Bullock to the practice squad Monday.

The Bengals waived Bullock during Sunday's cutdown day. The undrafted free agent out of South Alabama cleared waivers and promptly rejoined the team that took a shot on him. Bullock will need to compete with Kendall Milton throughout the season to be the primary practice squad running back in case the 53-man roster needs a reserve due to injury.

The Bengals signed Milton to the practice squad Monday.

The Bengals waived Milton during Sunday's cutdown day. The running back cleared waivers and has now rejoined the team as a member of the practice squad. Milton was unable to surpass Tahj Brooks or Samaje Perine for a depth position behind Chase Brown, but if any of the rushers on the initial 53-man roster go down, Milton could see an elevation during the regular season.

Abanikanda signed a practice-squad contract with the Cowboys on Tuesday.

Abanikanda was with Dallas during training camp and played in all three of the team's preseason games, rushing 22 times for 91 yards while catching three of four targets for 16 yards. He was cut Sunday but cleared waivers and will stay with the Cowboys as part of the practice squad. Abanikanda hasn't logged a regular-season NFL snap since 2023, when he appeared in six contests for the Jets and rushed 22 times for 70 yards.

Chicago signed Scott to its practice squad Tuesday.

After spending his rookie season playing third fiddle to veteran Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason, Scott was replaced on the Vikings' depth chart by rookie sixth-rounder Demond Claiborne during training camp and cuts. His ability as a receiver could create at least a little fantasy intrigue if he finds his way onto the field with the Bears during the regular season.

The Browns signed McLaughlin to the practice squad Tuesday.

McLaughlin was waived by the Broncos on Sunday but will get a new opportunity with the Browns, where he would be a top candidate for elevation to the active roster if one of Quinshon Judkins, Dylan Sampson or Raheim Sanders miss time. McLaughlin appeared in eight regular-season games for Denver last year, logging 37 carries for 187 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches on six targets for 27 yards.

Chicago signed Ahmed to its practice squad Monday.

Ahmed made a late push for a spot on the Bears' initial 53-man roster for 2026, showing off some capability as a receiver during the preseason, but he just missed the cut before being brought onto the practice squad. With that said, his status will be worth monitoring as early as Week 1 if Kyle Monangai (knee) proves unavailable to start the regular season.
