  • Tim Boyle QB | TEN

    Tim Boyle: Added to Dolphins' practice squad

    Boyle signed with Miami's practice squad Thursday.

    Boyle was released by the Texans on Tuesday after Houston opted to keep C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills as the only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Boyle will now serve as the Dolphins' practice squad quarterback and operate as the emergency option behind Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson. Boyle has been a journeyman quarterback for his career, having appeared in 20 regular-season games with four different teams over the last five years.

  • Michael Pratt: Headed to Tampa Bay

    The Buccaneers signed Pratt to the practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Despite being selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Pratt was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday to make room for the acquisition of 2022 third-round quarterback Malik Willis from Tennessee. After clearing waivers, Pratt opted to sign with the Buccaneers, and he'll serve as the practice squad quarterback after John Wolford was waived on Tuesday. If he's elevated to the active roster, Pratt will operate as the Bucs' emergency quarterback and only see the field if both Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask were to sustain injuries in the same game.

    Kedon Slovis: Joins Texans' practice squad

    Slovis signed with the Texans' practice squad Thursday.

    The undrafted rookie quarterback out of BYU failed to make the Colts' initial 53-man roster Tuesday and has since since signed with Houston's practice squad. During Slovis' final collegiate season, he threw for 1,716 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions across eight games.

    Cardinals' Clayton Tune: Backup duty to begin season

    Tune is in line to begin the 2024 season as the Cardinals' No. 2 QB behind starter Kyler Murray, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    In the midst of roster cuts this week, Arizona waived Desmond Ridder on Tuesday before signing him to the practice squad one day later. The move left Murray and Tune as the only signal-callers on the active roster, indicating their respective standings among the group. Tune, a 2023 fifth-round pick, made seven appearances (one start) last season, completing 12 of 21 passes for 62 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions, rushing eight times for 30 yards and one TD and fumbling twice (one lost).

    Logan Woodside: Inks practice squad deal

    Woodside signed with the Bengals' practice squad Wednesday.

  • Devin Leary QB | BAL

    Devin Leary: Staying in Baltimore

    Leary signed with the Ravens' practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Leary was a sixth-round selection for Baltimore in the 2024 Draft, but he was unable to beat out Josh Johnson for the No. 2 spot behind starter Lamar Jackson in camp. Instead, he'll serve as the No. 3 quarterback option while on the practice squad.

  • Deshaun Watson QB | CLE

    Browns' Deshaun Watson: Restructure clears up cap space

    The Browns restructured Watson's contract Thursday by converting $44.8 million of his base salary into a signing bonus, freeing up $35.8 million in cap space, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports

    Watson's restructure could be positioning Cleveland for impending roster moves, as the team now has a NFL-leading $62 million in available salary cap space. Meanwhile, Watson still carries a tremendous $72.9 million salary cap hit for the Browns in both 2025 and 2026. Now heading into his age-29 season, Watson is coming off a quiet preseason in which he was held out of exhibition action and received regular rest days while working his way back from offseason shoulder surgery. The team's Week 1 regular-season opener against the Cowboys will represent Watson's first game action since last November.
