The Bengals re-signed Williams on Friday.

Williams made the initial 53-man roster, but he was let go a day later to make room for a trio of waiver claims. However, he's now returned to the team after the Bengals placed Tycen Anderson and Isaiah Prince on IR. The 2019 sixth-round pick has appeared in 26 games over the past three years in Cincinnati, totaling 47 touches for 242 yards.

The Cowboys signed Ollison to their practice squad Thursday.

Ollison was waived by the Falcons ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline but has found a new home in Dallas via the practice squad. The 2019 fifth-round pick appeared in eight games for Atlanta last year and rushed 21 times for 105 yards and one score across 69 offensive snaps.

The Lions signed Jefferson to their practice squad Thursday.

Jefferson initially made the team's 53-man roster but was waived a day later. However, he's returned to the organization on a practice-squad deal. The 2021 seventh-round pick appeared in seven games as a rookie, totaling 19 touches for 97 yards and two scores.

The Steelers signed McFarland to the practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

McFarland lost out on a roster spot to undrafted free agent Jaylen Warren, though he'll now re-join the team as roster depth. McFarland managed only three rushes for three yards during the 2021 season while with Pittsburgh.

The Eagles signed Brooks to the practice squad Wednesday, Sage Hurley of the team's official site reports.

Brooks was waived as part of the Eagles' final roster cuts Tuesday, but he'll now return to the team as part of the practice squad. The undrafted running back out of Oklahoma will now look to improve his stock while trying to earn a spot on Philadelphia's active roster.

The Giants signed Corbin to the team's practice squad Wednesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

Corbin was waived by the Giants during Tuesday's final roster cuts, but he'll now operate as a reserve option should New York suffer any injuries to its running backs. Across the team's three preseason games, the 6-foot, 221-pounder recorded 21 carries, 73 yards and two touchdowns while also catching 14 passes for an additional 76 yards.

The Saints re-signed Washington on Thursday.

Washington was promptly let go by the Saints on Wednesday after initially making the team's 53-man roster the day before, though he'll now return on a new deal after some slight roster restructuring. The 28-year-old running back registered 16 rushing yards on just four carries last year, though he played a core special-teams role (249 snaps) for New Orleans in 2021. Washington should also provide depth behind backup rushers Mark Ingram and Tony Jones this regular season.

Rountree has been added to the Chargers' practice squad, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Rountree was waived by the Chargers on Wednesday after the team signed Sony Michel, but the 2021 sixth-rounder is back in the fold to add further organizational depth to a Los Angeles backfield that currently features top back Austin Ekeler, as well as Joshua Kelley, Michel and Isaiah Spiller.

The Eagles have claimed Sermon off waivers from the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 49ers let the 2021 third-rounder go Wednesday, but Sermon, who Schefter suggests previously drew trade interest from Philadelphia, now is set to provide his new team with backfield depth behind Miles Sanders (hamstring), Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott.

The Dolphins have signed White to the practice squad, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

White was waived by Miami on Monday after joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina in May. The running back now will get a chance to prove himself while on the practice squad to open the 2022 campaign.
