New Orleans placed Young (ankle) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Young will undergo surgery to address the ankle injury he sustained during the Saints' preseason finale versus the Broncos. Due to the timing of his trip to IR, he'll have to stay there until the end of the 2025 season unless he works out an injury settlement with New Orleans.

The Saints signed Haener to the practice squad Wednesday,Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Haener lost his roster spot Tuesday after beginning the preseason in a competition to be the Saints' starter. New Orleans currently has only Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough on its active roster, so Haener may be elevated for game days.

Brown signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

The running back got waived Tuesday after spending about two weeks in Chicago's training camp. Brown, a seventh-round pick of the Raiders in 2022, last saw regular-season action that same year, though he didn't play on any offensive snaps.

Valladay was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Valladay went unclaimed on waivers after being cut by Minnesota on Tuesday, and he will now stick around as a member of the team's practice unit. The running back will look to earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this season.

Boykin landed on the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

The wide receiver was let go by the team Tuesday despite a strong training camp and preseason. Given his performance in camp, Boykin's signing to the practice squad is perhaps not a surprise, though he faces an uphill battle for a roster spot during the regular season due to Chicago's depth at wide receiver. The 2019 third-round pick of the Ravens spent time on multiple practice squads in 2024 but never appeared in a regular-season game.

The Falcons signed Blair to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Blair had an impressive training camp and finished the preseason with 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 197 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He wasn't able to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster, but he will stick around on the practice squad and could be elevated if Atlanta needs depth at wide receiver on game day. Blair has appeared in five regular-season games since joining the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted rookie.

McDonald (undisclosed) cleared waivers Wednesday and reverted to injured reserve, per the NFL's official media site.

McDonald impressed at Browns' rookie minicamp and stuck with the team through the summer and played all three preseason games, finishing with two receptions for 11 yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old receiver will spend the rest of the season on injured reserve unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

The Saints signed Dekkers to the practice squad Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Dekkers bounced on and off the Saints' roster throughout the preseason but ultimately was waived on Aug. 14. He'll presumably find a more permanent place on the practice squad.

Strong (undisclosed) cleared waivers Wednesday and reverted to injured reserve, per the NFL's official media site.

Strong was evaluated for a concussion during the team's final preseason game, but there was never a confirmed diagnosis. The 2022 fourth-round pick will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns. Ahead of Week 1, the Browns have running backs Jerome Ford, Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders in the mix while Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned.

Nesbit was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Nesbit cleared waivers after being let go by Minnesota on Tuesday, and he will now open the 2025 season as a member of the team's practice squad. The tight end will look to earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this season and make his NFL debut.
