Tyus signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

Tyus will join fellow rookie running backs Damien Martinez (seventh round) and Jacardia Wright (undrafted) on the Seahawks' practice squad. Tyus finished the preseason with just 21 carries for 55 yards (2.6 YPC) and one catch for two yards. He's a long shot to get called up to the active roster.

The 49ers placed Cowing (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Cowing injured his hamstring in late July, which has sidelined him for the majority of training camp and all three of the 49ers' preseason games. His move to the IR means the 2024 fourth-rounder will be required to miss at least next four games, making Week 5 against the Rams on Thursday, Oct. 2 the earliest he can make his 2025 debut. The 49ers are dealing with several injuries at wide receiver, which opens the door for Junior Bergen, Robbie Chosen and Malik Turner to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Week 1 against the Seahawks.

Broden signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

An undrafted rookie out of Arkansas, Broden brought athleticism to the team with a 4.37 40-yard dash at 6-foot-5, 194 pounds, but his collegiate production was disappointing. He caught just one pass for 15 yards over three preseason games and will continue to develop on the scout team this year.

Mang signed to the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.

The tight end out of Syracuse was cut Tuesday after missing out on the Colts' 53-man roster, but he went unclaimed on waivers and was able to stay in Indianapolis. Indy's tight end room is led by first-round pick Tyler Warren and veteran blocker Mo Alie-Cox. At 6-foot-7 and 267 pounds, Mang could perhaps make an impact as a run blocker if gets called up this season.

Griffin was released by the Seahawks on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Griffin made Seattle's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he will now hit the open market after the team claimed Derion Kendrick off waivers Wednesday to replace him. The cornerback played in all 17 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2025, and he will likely find another suitor in the near future.

Martinez signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

Martinez was highly touted even as a seventh-round pick due to a productive collegiate career during which he rushed for 2,187 yards (6.2 YPC) and 19 touchdowns over his final two seasons. However, the Miami product had an underwhelming preseason with just 84 yards on 24 carries (3.5 YPC) and was clearly outplayed by second-year back George Holani, who earned a spot on the active roster. Martinez is still just 21 years old and will have time to develop in a system that's favorable to running backs. If one of Holani, Kenneth Walker or Zach Charbonnet gets injured, either Martinez or Jacardia Wright will likely be brought up from the practice squad.

McKinney (calf) participated in practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.comreports.

McKinney has been sidelined for nearly three weeks, though it was always anticipated that he would be healthy for Week 1. That appears to be the case, as he still has plenty of time to ramp up prior to Green Bay taking on Detroit.

Kendrick was claimed off waivers by the Seahawks on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Kendrick will head to Seattle after being waived by the Rams on Tuesday. The cornerback recorded five total tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed over three preseason contests with Los Angeles, and he will now operate as a top reserve option in the Seahawks' secondary behind starters Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe in 2025.

The Chargers signed Jackson to their practice squad Wednesday.

Jackson was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday, but he's already back with the team as a member of the practice squad. The 53-man roster for 2025 will likely be thin at wide receiver, so Jackson could be closer to NFL snaps than the average practice squad wideout.

Kahmann signed to the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.

The wide receiver was waived Tuesday after failing to make the Colts' 53-man roster, but he was able to stay with the team because he cleared waivers. The undrafted rookie caught two passes (on four targets) for eight yards across three preseason games for Indy.
