Hunter Dekkers QB | NO
Hunter Dekkers: Joins practice squad
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.

Trevor Siemian QB | TEN
Trevor Siemian: Back in Tennessee on practice squad
The Titans signed Siemian to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Siemian will start the regular season as the Titans' practice squad quarterback while Brandon Allen serves as the QB2 behind starter Cameron Ward. Siemian spent time on the Titans' practice squad in 2024 and last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Jets, when he completed 56.2 percent of his passes for 724 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions across five games.

DJ Uiagalelei QB | LAC
DJ Uiagalelei: Joining Bolts' practice squad
The Chargers signed Uiagalelei to their practice squad Wednesday.
The undrafted rookie free agent wasn't able to box out Trey Lance for a spot on the Chargers' final 53-man roster for 2025, but he'll continue to contribute to the team as a member of the practice squad. It would probably take an injury to either Lance or starter Justin Herbert for Uiagalelei to be considered as a candidate to get called up to the active roster.

Aidan O'Connell QB | LV
Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Heading to IR
The Raiders are placing O'Connell (wrist) on injured reserve, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Las Vegas general manger John Spytek said Wednesday that O'Connell is recovering from surgery undergone to address the right wrist fracture he suffered this preseason, per McFadden. As a response, Raiders traded for Kenny Pickett (hamstring) from Cleveland to back up Geno Smith on Monday. O'Connell will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season as a result of his placement on IR, and once healthy it seems as though he'll slide to the No. 3 quarterback spot behind Pickett.

Will Grier QB | DAL
Will Grier: Back with Cowboys' practice unit
Grier was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday.
Grier will remain in Dallas as a member of the team's practice unit after he was released Tuesday. The quarterback spent the final stretch of the 2024 campaign with the Cowboys' practice squad, and he will operate as an extra depth option behind Dak Prescott and Joe Milton in 2025.

Sam Hartman QB | WAS
Sam Hartman: Sticking around in Washington
The Commanders signed Hartman to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
Hartman was unable to beat out veteran Josh Johnson for the QB3 spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster, but the former will stick around as the team's quarterback on the practice squad. Hartman completed 25 of 46 passes for 207 yards and four interceptions while turning six carries into 40 yards across the Commanders' three preseason games.

Seth Henigan QB | IND
Seth Henigan: Signed to Jags' practice squad
Jacksonville signed Henigan to the practice squad Wednesday.
Henigan wasn't able to beat out Nick Mullens for the QB2 job behind Trevor Lawrence, but the undrafted rookie will remain in Jacksonville as a member of the practice squad. Henigan finished the preseason having completed 27 of 38 passes for 178 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions across three games.

Cam Miller QB | MIA
Cam Miller: Returns to Vegas
The Raiders signed Miller to their practice squad Wednesday.
Miller was cut Tuesday but has signed to the Raiders' practice squad one day later. He was a sixth-round pick by Las Vegas in April's NFL Draft.

Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Back to full practice
Coach Matt LaFleur said Love (thumb) will be a full practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Love suited up preseason Week 1 against the Jets, but that marked his only appearance of the exhibition slate, as he underwent a procedure for a ligament injury in his left thumb following that contest. He was able to return to practice as of last Monday, but his reps were managed in the meantime due to his recovery effort. On Wednesday, though, Love finally will take snaps under center for the first time since the surgery, as LaFleur told Ryan Wood of USA Today. Love thus appears on pace to be available Sunday, Sept. 7 versus the Lions.

Shane Buechele QB | BUF
Shane Buechele: Lands on Bills' practice squad
Buffalo signed Buechele to its practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
Buechele wasn't able to make the Bills' initial 53-man roster, but he'll remain with the club as organizational QB depth. If Josh Allen or Mitchell Trubisky were to miss time at any point, Buechele could be elevated to the active roster.
