Jackson was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Jackson went unclaimed on waivers after Minnesota cut him loose Tuesday, and he will now open the year as a member of the team's practice squad. The wide receiver spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign with the Vikings' practice squad, and he'll look to earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this season, something he didn't accomplish last year.

The Titans signed Mims to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Mims finished the preseason with 28 carries for 98 yards and six catches on as many targets for 33 yards, but he wasn't able to crack the Titans' 53-man roster Tuesday. He'll stay in Tennessee as a part of the team's practice squad, and he could be elevated to the active roster for the Titans' Week 1 contest against the Broncos if Kalel Mullings (ankle) is unable to play.

Carson (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Cowboys on Wednesday.

Carson was diagnosed with a hyperextended knee in late July and was expected to be out 4-to-6 weeks. He'll have a lengthier recovery, as he'll now be sidelined for at least the first four weeks of the regular season.

Kiner (ankle) was waived from injured reserve by the 49ers with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Kiner suffered a high-ankle sprain during the 49ers' second preseason game and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. Due to his injury settlement, he'll be free to sign with a new team once he's healthy. The undrafted rookie posted 1,153 yards and four touchdowns on 204 carries (5.7 YPC) through 12 games at Cincinnati.

The Chargers signed Yassmin to their practice squad Wednesday.

Yassmin wasn't able to earn a spot on the Chargers' final 53-man roster, but he'll stick around with the club as a member of the practice squad. He spent the 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad and still hasn't made his regular-season NFL debut.

Wright signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

At times Wright looked like the best running back during the preseason with 21 carries for 147 yards (7.0 YPC) and a touchdown, including a 61-yard run. However, George Holani also excelled against tougher competition and secured the No. 3 role. Wright will join fellow rookie running backs Damien Martinez and Anthony Tyus on the practice squad.

Fleming was signed to the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Fleming went unclaimed on waivers after being let go by Minnesota on Tuesday, and he will now stick around as a member of the team's practice unit. The wide receiver will look to earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this season to make his NFL debut.

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.

The Cowboys placed Mafah (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Mafah suffered a shoulder injury during the preseason finale and will now be sidelined for a minimum of the first four games of the regular season. He'll likely be buried on the depth chart when he returns, but the Cowboys' running back situation is quite uncertain entering the season.

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.
