Shampklin (ankle) reverted to the Cowboys' injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Shampklin rushed 13 times for 54 yards before suffering the ankle injury during Dallas' preseason finale and has reverted to IR after clearing waivers. Barring an injury settlement, he'll be sidelined for the entire 2022 campaign.

Blackshear was signed to the practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Blackshear had such a strong preseason after being snagged as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech that the Bills are probably glad he didn't land a spot elsewhere. It's a crowded running back room in Buffalo; however, given that Taiwan Jones is almost exclusively special teams, Blackshear can currently be considered the No. 4 or No. 5 fantasy option (Duke Johnson was also signed to the practice squad) even though he's on the practice squad to start his NFL career.

Brown (ankle) reverted to the Ravens' injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Brown sustained an ankle injury during the Panthers' second preseason game and will revert to the team's injured reserve after going unclaimed on waivers. Unless he reaches an injury settlement with Carolina, he'll be forced to miss the entire 2022 season.

The Texans officially signed Mack to their practice squad Wednesday.

Mack was among Houston's roster cuts Tuesday, but now that he's back with the organization in some capacity, he'll be eligible for elevation to the active roster Week 1 and beyond. With rookie fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce poised to lead the backfield, Mack would be vying for snaps with Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale for any games in which he's active.

The Colts signed Price to their practice squad Wednesday,

Price was unable to land a spot on the Colts' 53-man roster after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Florida International. However, he made enough of an impact during training camp to remain in the organization as part of the practice squad.

The Raiders signed Walter to their practice squad Wednesday.

Walter was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday as part of the team's final roster cuts, but he'll join the organization's practice squad a day later. The 26-year-old has appeared in nine games between the Giants, 49ers and Jets over the last three seasons.

The Vikings signed Koback to their practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Koback signed with the Vikings in May as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo, but he failed to make the team's initial 53-man roster. After seeing limited work during the first two exhibition games, the rookie rushed 14 times for 41 yards and a score in the preseason finale.

New England signed Taylor to its practice squad Wednesday, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.

Rookie sixth-round pick Kevin Harris who was also cut Tuesday, will also join Taylor on New England's practice squad. Taylor and Harris will add backfield depth behind the four options currently on the 53-man roster -- Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery and Pierre Strong. Through his first two NFL seasons, Taylor logged 42 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns to go with five catches for 12 yards over 11 games.

New England signed Harris to its practice squad Wednesday, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.

J.J. Taylor was also re-signed to the practice squad after being cut a day earlier, giving the Patriots added backfield depth to turn to behind Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery and Pierre Strong, who are on the team's initial 53-man roster. Harris -- a 2022 sixth-round pick -- profiles a player that New England can groom on the practice squad.

The Eagles signed Perine to their practice squad Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Perine totaled 75 touches for 295 yards and two scores as a rookie in 2020 but was waived by the Jets ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The Eagles have solid running backs with quality NFL experience on the active roster, but the group is only three deep. So, Perine will likely operate as an emergency depth option in case any of the aforementioned backs go down with an injury.
