  • Upton Stout CB | SF

    49ers' Upton Stout: Returns to practice

    Stout (calf) returned to practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Stout was a standout player during offseason practice and training camp before being sidelined by a calf issue. He's expected back for Week 1, and his participation in practice supports that report.

  • Jamaal Pritchett: Earns practice-squad role

    Pritchett signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    Pritchett caught seven of 15 targets for 70 yards through three preseason games. An undrafted rookie out of South Alabama, Pritchett also worked as the team's primary punt returner during the preseason with nine returns for 103 yards (11.4 YPR), including a 41-yard return. Xavier Gipson (shoulder) is expected to be the Jets' punt returner during the regular season, so Pritchett will continue to hone his craft on the practice squad.

  • JP Richardson WR | CHI

    JP Richardson: Stays with Chicago

    Richardson signed to the Bears' practice squad Wednesday.

    The wide receiver was waived Tuesday after playing 46 preseason snaps and catching four of six targets for 28 yards. Richardson did have a strong camp, per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, so his return to the club via the practice squad is perhaps not a surprise. At the same time, the undrafted free agent out of TCU likely faces an uphill battle for a roster spot on a Bears team with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden leading the receiver room.

  • Dylan Drummond WR | ATL

    Dylan Drummond: Signed to Atlanta's practice squad

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

    Drummond finished the preseason with 14 catches (on 17 targets) for 96 yards in three games but was unable to crack the Falcons' 53-man roster. He'll remain in Atlanta on the team's practice squad for a second-straight season and could be elevated to the active roster if the Falcons require depth at wide receiver.

  • Da'Quan Felton WR | NYG

    Giants' Da'Quan Felton: Reverts to IR

    Felton (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve with the Giants on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Felton was waived with an injury designation Tuesday, and he will now be forced to miss the entirety of the 2025 season while on IR with an undisclosed injury. The wide receiver would be eligible to return to action this year if he reached an injury settlement with the team, but otherwise, he'll shift his focus to being ready for 2026.

  • Harrison Mevis: Practice-squad bound

    Mevis signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    Mevis impressed in the UFL during the 2025 season, connecting on 20 of 21 field-goal attempts. He hit three of four field goals during the preseason but missed his lone attempt from beyond 50 yards. Meanwhile, veteran Nick Folk won the kicking job after a perfect preseason in addition to a lengthy track record. Mevis will be the next man up in case Folk gets injured or his accuracy drops off.

  • Barry Wesley OT | NO

    Saints' Barry Wesley: Will start season on IR

    New Orleans placed Wesley (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list with a designation to return Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Wesley will first be eligible to suit up for game action in Week 5, when the Saints play host to the Giants. It's not clear if he'll be healthy by then though, as it's still unknown exactly what kind of injury he's dealing with.

  • Stephen Carlson: Back with Bears

    Carlson signed to Chicago's practice squad Wednesday.

    The tight end was released Tuesday after falling short of the Bears' 53-man roster, though he stuck with the team after clearing waivers. Carlson missed the whole 2024 regular season with a collarbone injury and appeared on just one special-teams snap during the 2023 campaign. He last saw extended action in 2019 and '20 with Cleveland, though he only has six career catches for 62 yards.

  • Brady Cook QB | NYJ

    Brady Cook: Remains on practice squad

    Cook signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    Cook joined the Jets as an undrafted free agent in April after throwing for 2,535 yards, 11 touchdowns and two interceptions in addition to rushing 87 times for 223 yards and five touchdowns during his final season at Missouri. The 23-year-old quarterback completed 25 of 38 passes for 235 yards (6.2 YPA), a touchdown and an interception during the preseason. The Jets are sticking with just two quarterbacks -- Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor (knee) -- to begin the year.

  • Nick Vannett TE | MIN

    Nick Vannett: Joins practice squad in Minnesota

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

    Vannett has decided to stick around Minnesota after the team released him Tuesday. The tight end has played in 111 regular-season contests over his nine-year NFL career, and he will provide the Vikings with a rather experienced depth option on their practice unit ahead of the 2025 campaign.
