Huntley, who recently signed to Baltimore's practice squad, will work as the Ravens' No. 3 quarterback at the start of the regular season, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

After Huntley was released by Cleveland on Thursday, the Ravens quickly swooped in to reunite with the veteran signal-caller. There was some initial thought that Huntley would immediately take over as Baltimore's backup quarterback in place of Josh Johnson, but for the time being Johnson will remain the first option behind Lamar Jackson while Huntley begins the campaign in the emergency QB role. Huntley could eventually retake the No. 2 slot that he held over the previous four seasons.

The Jaguars signed Plumlee to their practice squad Friday.

Plumlee signed with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent in late April and saw limited preseason action, playing in just one game and completing three of four pass attempts for 32 yards. Jacksonville has Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones as its two quarterbacks on the active roster, so Plumlee will work on the practice squad as the team's No. 3 QB. That role had previously looked to be reserved for E.J. Perry, who initially joined the team's practice squad Wednesday but was cut one day later.

Rush will open the season as the primary backup to Dak Prescott for the Cowboys.

Trey Lance also made the 53-man roster, but his five-interception performance in the team's final preseason game ended any thought that he could bump Rush aside for the No. 2 job. Rush has been a reliable backup the last three seasons, seeing action in 21 games and completing 60.9 percent of his passes with a 6.9 YPA and an 8:5 TD:INT. Given that Prescott doesn't yet have a contract extension however, should he suffer a serious injury and the season go off the rails, it might be Lance and not Rush who fills in as the Cowboys evaluate their options for 2025 and beyond.

The Jaguars waived Perry from the practice squad Thursday, Zach Goodall of USA Today reports.

Perry was added to the Jaguars' practice squad Wednesday after he was unsuccessful in making the 53-man roster as the third quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones. Perry will look to catch onto a practice squad elsewhere.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Fromm signed with the Lions' practice squad Wednesday.

Fromm failed to make Detroit's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he's now been brought back as a practice-squad player. The Georgia product last saw regular-season action in 2021 with the Giants, when he threw for 210 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions across three games.

Woodside signed with the Bengals' practice squad Wednesday.

Woodside returned to Cincinnati on a one-year contract in April, but he was unable to beat out Jack Browning (ribs) for the No. 2 job behind Joe Burrow. The Toledo product will instead operate as the No. 3 option from the practice squad.
