Galbreath signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Wednesday.

Galbreath is the only tight end on Pittsburgh's practice squad, so he'll presumably be the next man up should the team require reinforcements at the position. He went unclaimed on waivers after being cut earlier in the week.

The Raiders signed Jackson to their practice squad Wednesday.

Jackson ended last season on the Raiders' practice squad and will begin the 2025 campaign there as well. The 25-year-old has played in three NFL regular-season games, all of which came in 2023 with Cincinnati.

Las Vegas signed Collier to its practice squad Wednesday.

Collier was cut Tuesday but will remain with the Raiders. He played in three regular-season games with the team last year, gaining 12 yards on five carries.

Shakir (ankle) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports

Shakir is back on the practice field for the first time since suffering a right high-ankle sprain Aug. 1, so even being restricted to limited reps would represent a significant step in the right direction. Head coach Sean McDermott has expressed optimism about Shakir's chances of being available Week 1, so even if Buffalo opts to take a cautious approach to the No. 1 wideout's health, look for his activity level to ramp up in advance of Buffalo's regular-season opener against Baltimore on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Sermon signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Wednesday.

Sermon and Lew Nichols have been added to the practice squad as organizational depth behind rostered running backs Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell. Sermon has suited up for 42 regular-season NFL games, including all 17 with the Colts last season.

The NFL officially suspended Rice for the first six games of the 2025 regular season Wednesday for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rice's suspension will begin immediately, as he and the NFL reached an agreement Wednesday on an arrangement that will force him to miss the first six weeks of the regular season but allow him to retake the field mid-season. He will first be eligible for reinstatement and to resume practicing Oct. 13 and to make his regular-season debut in Week 7 versus the Raiders on Oct. 19. JuJu Smith-Schuster figures to join Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown (ankle) in the majority of three-wide sets until Rice is reinstated.

Las Vegas signed Bachman to its practice squad Wednesday.

Bachman didn't make the Raiders' initial 53-man roster but is remaining with the organization. He spent most of the last year on Las Vegas' practice squad but did get into six regular-season games, catching all three of his targets for 31 yards.

Nichols signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad Wednesday.

Nichols went unclaimed on waivers, opening the door for him to remain in the Steelers organization as a depth option. He'll be joined on the practice squad by Trey Sermon while Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell begin the season on the 53-man roster.

The Chargers placed Colson (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, ruling him out for the entire 2025 season,

Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Colson requires shoulder surgery, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Colson faced high expectations upon being selected by Los Angeles in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he started just one of his 11 appearances, finishing the year with a disappointing 29 tackles (15 solo) and one pass defended. He'll now focus on getting fully healthy for the 2026 campaign, but being forced to miss all of Year 2 looks like a significant blow to Colson's odds of developing into a starter at middle linebacker.

Estime is in line to sign with the Eagles' practice squad, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Estime was embedded in a battle for a roster spot in a crowded Broncos backfield this summer and lost out to J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie. After getting cut Tuesday, Estime cleared waivers one day later and quickly found a new home. He'll now be a depth option in the event Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley or AJ Dillon needs to miss time for any reason.
