The Bengals signed Browning to their practice squad Wednesday.

Browning was waived Tuesday but went through waivers unclaimed, allowing the Bengals to add him to their practice squad. The 26-year-old quarterback likely won't be elevated to the 53-man roster unless Joe Burrow (appendix) gets hurt, though the Bengals don't have a backup on the roster at the moment after cutting both Browning and Brandon Allen.

Peterman was signed to Chicago's practice squad Wednesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Peterman joins the practice squad as expected after going unclaimed on waivers. He'll likely spend the entire season on Chicago's practice squad unless either Justin Fields or Trevor Siemian gets hurt.

Brown joined Baltimore's practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

The Ravens were probably relieved to see the undrafted rookie out of Oregon go unclaimed on waivers, as Brown showed promise in the preseason with 464 yards and three touchdowns through the air across parts of three games. Brown's purely in a developmental role at the moment with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley locked into the two quarterback spots on the 53-man roster.

Grier has signed with the Cowboys' practice squad, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Grier was competing with Cooper Rush for the opportunity to back up Dak Prescott under center. The team ultimately opted to cut both and sign them to its practice squad. One of the two will likely be called up to the roster come Week 1, as Prescott is currently the only quarterback on the roster.

Rush has signed with Dallas' practice squad, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Rush was competing with Will Grier for the backup quarterback position behind Dak Prescott during training camp. The team ultimately opted to cut both and keep Prescott as the lone quarterback on the 53-man roster. The team will likely call up one of the two to be the emergency backup come Week 1.

The Texans signed Driskel to their practice squad Wednesday.

Driskel was released by Houston as part of the team's final roster cuts but will return to the organization via the practice squad. It's possible that the veteran joins an active roster this year if a team needs a backup quarterback.

The Bills signed Barkley to their practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Barkley was excellent during the Bills preseason finale, completing 18 of 24 passes for 224 yards. However, Case Keenum still earned the top backup spot behind Josh Allen on the active roster. Regardless, Barkley has been brought back and will operate as an emergency option on the team's practice squad.

The Raiders signed Garbers to their practice squad Wednesday.

Garbers failed to land a spot on the Raiders' 53-man roster, but he made enough of an impact to earn a role on the team's practice squad. The 23-year-old will be available if Las Vegas needs additional depth at quarterback at some point in 2022.

The Bengals released Allen on Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Allen made the initial 53-man roster as the backup to Joe Burrow, but he's been let go to make room for a trio of waiver claims. Dehner suggests that Allen could return to the team after the next round of IR moves are made.

The Titans signed Woodside to their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

As expected, Woodside lost the backup QB competition to rookie Malik Willis, but he'll rejoin the team as an emergency option on the practice squad. The 2018 seventh-round pick has thrown only one pass across 11 regular season appearances.
