  • Jonathan Ward: Being released from practice squad

    New England released Ward from its practice squad Tuesday.

    In a corresponding transaction, the Patriots signed wide receiver Brenden Rice to their practice squad. Ward's stint with the team lasted just one week, and now he'll have to start seeking another opportunity elsewhere.

  • Kenny Yeboah TE | DET

    Kenny Yeboah: Released from IR

    Detroit released Yeboah (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday.

    Yeboah was placed on injured reserve in early August, which would have ended his season had he not reached this settlement. He'll now be free to sign elsewhere and potentially suit up if healthy.

  • Ben Sauls K | ATL

    Ben Sauls: Cut from Atlanta's practice squad

    The Falcons cut Sauls from the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    The Falcons also released Parker Romo while signing Zane Gonzalez to the active roster, with the latter set to serve as the team's placekicker moving forward, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Sauls joined the Falcons' practice squad in late September after spending the offseason with the Steelers, though he wasn't able to beat out veteran Chris Boswell for a spot on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Sauls -- an undrafted rookie out of Pittsburgh -- could get another opportunity with a team looking to bring in a placekicker for a kicking competition or as an injury replacement.

  • Terrace Marshall: Getting cut from practice squad

    Philadelphia released Marshall from its practice squad Tuesday.

    Marshall signed with the Eagles' practice squad prior to Week 1, but now he's on his way out after Week 9. He'll become a free agent, and he'll probably have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.

  • Nolan Smith LB | PHI

    Eagles' Nolan Smith: Gets clearance to practice

    Philadelphia designated Smith (triceps) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday.

    Smith was originally placed on injured reserve with a lingering triceps injury after Week 3 versus the Rams, but it now appears he's on track to returning to the field soon. The Eagles will have 21 days to officially activate Smith before they would be required to keep him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | CAR

    DeeJay Dallas: Staying in Carolina

    The Panthers signed Dallas to the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

    Dallas was released from the Panthers' active roster Saturday, but the 2020 fourth-rounder has opted to stay in Carolina as a member of the team's practice squad. He would be a top candidate to be elevated to the Panthers' 53-man roster if Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard or Trevor Etienne were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension. Dallas played for the Panthers in Weeks 5 and 6 and accumulated 141 kick return yards.

  • Hendon Hooker QB | CAR

    Hendon Hooker: Cut from Carolina's practice squad

    The Panthers cut Hooker from the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

    Hooker joined the Panthers' practice squad in late August after being waived by the Lions at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the Panthers' active roster for their Week 8 clash against the Bills to serve as Andy Dalton's backup due to Bryce Young being sidelined with an ankle injury. With Young fully healthy and Dalton and Mike White also on the active roster, the Panthers are no longer in need of Hooker's services, but the 2023 third-rounder should garner interest from teams looking to add a scout team quarterback.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Commanders' Treylon Burks: Getting signed to active roster

    Washington signed Burks to its active roster Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Commanders are dealing with injuries to multiple notable contributors at wide receiver, so it's not a huge surprise to see them bring up reinforcements at the position. Burks logged 32 offensive snaps in his first game with Washington in Week 9, bringing in his only target for 14 yards.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Considered limited Tuesday

    Mims (concussion) was estimated to be a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough.

    Mims was able to participate in some capacity for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 8 against Dallas. The wide receiver remains in the concussion protocol, and he'll likely have to log a full session Wednesday to have a shot at playing in Thursday night's matchup with Las Vegas. If he's unavailable, Pat Bryant would once again see an uptick in workload in Week 9.

  • John Rhys Plumlee: Cut from Pittsburgh's PS

    The Steelers cut Plumlee from the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Plumlee joined the Steelers' practice squad this past Wednesday after spending the offseason with the Seahawks. Now that he's off Pittsburgh's practice squad, the 24-year-old wideout will look to join a team in need of depth at wide receiver.
