The Panthers signed Reed to their practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Reed was cut Tuesday after he failed to earn a spot on Carolina's final 53-man roster for 2025, but he'll now be staying with the team as a member of the practice squad. The Panthers have one of the thinner groups of wide receivers in the NFL, so Reed could be closer to an elevation than the average practice-squad wideout.

The Cardinals placed Jones on injured reserve Thursday due to a knee injury, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Jones suffered a season-ending triceps injury in Week 3 of the 2024 season, and while he's fully recovered from that injury, he's now working through a knee issue that kept him sidelined for most of training camp. The 2018 third-rounder will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, making Week 5 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 5 the earliest he can play.

Green Bay signed Whyle to the practice squad Thursday.

Whyle was cut by the Titans on Tuesday after failing to beat out David Martin-Robinson for the TE3 spot on the 53-man roster behind Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm. Rather than stay in Tennessee, Whyle will head to Green Bay to be a member of the team's practice squad, and he would be a top candidate to be elevated to the Packers' active roster if Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave, Ben Sims or John FitzPatrick miss any time.

The Packers signed Tune to the practice squad Thursday.

The Cardinals opted to go with two quarterbacks in Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett on the 53-man roster, making Tune the odd man out. Rather than stay in Arizona on the practice squad, Tune will instead head to Green Bay, where he would be in line to be elevated to the Packers' active roster were Jordan Love or Malik Willis miss any time.

The Cardinals signed Palmer to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

The 2024 sixth-rounder was cut by the Cardinals on Tuesday after logging three catches (on eight targets) for 18 yards across three preseason games. Palmer will remain in Arizona on the team's practice squad, which is where he resided for his entire rookie season.

The Cardinals signed Fehoko to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

Fehoko was a somewhat surprising omission from the Cardinals' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll stay with the organization as a member of the practice squad. Arizona carried only five wide receivers on the 53-man squad, so Fehoko is a top candidate to be elevated from the practice squad should the Cardinals require depth at wideout on game day.

The Cardinals signed Slovis to the practice squad Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Slovis wasn't able to crack the Texans' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll get a new opportunity with the Cardinals on the practice squad. The BYU product would be in line to be elevated to the active roster if Kyler Murray or Jacoby Brissett were to miss time.

The Cardinals signed Baccellia to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

Baccellia has spent most of the past four years on the Cardinals' practice squad, though he has played in 13 regular-season games between 2022 (eight) and 2023 (five). He'll once again serve as organizational depth to start the year and will aim to see regular-season action for the first time since Week 13 of the 2023 season.

The Cardinals signed Carter to the practice squad Thursday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

Carter was unable to crack the Cardinals' 53-man roster Tuesday, but the 2021 fourth-rounder will stay in Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad. He spent most of 2024 on the Cardinals' practice squad but played in the last three games of the regular season, logging 35 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown along with 11 catches (on as many targets) for 57 yards.

The Patriots cut Scott from the practice squad Thursday.

Scott was initially brought back by New England on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He's been let go by the Patriots again, and the undrafted rookie out of Ohio State will look to catch on with a team in need of tight-end depth on its practice squad.
