Wells signed with the Falcons' practice squad Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

The wide receiver was waived by Atlanta on Sunday. Wells initially signed with the team in June after spending last summer with the Giants and two weeks on New York's practice squad during the 2025 regular season.

Smith-Marsette signed a contract to join Arizona's practice squad Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official website reports.

Smith-Marsette spent training camp with the Cardinals before being released Sunday. However, he's quickly returned to the organization as a member of the practice squad. Smith-Marsette provides veteran wideout depth, as he's logged 48 career NFL regular-season games, including one start. However, he hasn't suited up in a contest since 2024, when he worked almost exclusively as a kick and punt returner for the Giants.

The Falcons signed Anthony to the practice squad Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

The undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin had a strong training camp but ultimately fell short of making the Falcons' initial 53-man roster. The wide receiver cleared waivers and will now provide depth on the practice squad.

Muse was signed to Atlanta's practice squad Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

The tight end was let go by the Falcons on Sunday. Muse caught all seven of his targets for 49 yards during the preseason with Atlanta. The seventh-round pick of the Vikings in 2022 has played on 21 offensive snaps in the regular season during his career.

Quitoriano signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official website reports.

Quitoriano spent training camp with Arizona but was released Monday. However, the team decided to keep him around as depth on the practice squad. Quitoriano played in all 17 regular-season games for Atlanta last year and logged 131 offensive snaps, though he was used exclusively as a blocker, as he didn't garner any targets or touches.

Drummond signed with the Falcons' practice squad Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

The wide receiver was waived by Atlanta on Sunday. Drummond played on 121 offensive snaps for the Falcons in 2025, making seven catches for 42 yards. He also played on 39 special-teams snaps.

Hull signed a contract with the Cardinals to join the practice squad Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official website reports.

Hull spent part of training camp with Houston before being cut in early August. He was claimed by Arizona shortly thereafter and impressed during the preseason slate, rushing 38 times for 189 yards and two touchdowns while catching all four of his targets for 29 yards over four games. Hull will now provide depth on the practice squad and could see time on the 53-man roster at some point if the Cardinals experience injuries in the backfield.

The Falcons signed Velling to the practice squad Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Velling was waived by the Falcons on Sunday. The tight end cleared waivers and has now rejoined the team. The undrafted free agent out of Michigan State may get an opportunity to play in his first NFL game if Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner or Austin Hooper miss any time due to injury in 2026.

Goodson signed with the Falcons' practice squad Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

The running back was let go by the team Sunday. Goodson carried the ball nine times for 24 yards last season for Indianapolis, and he also played on 127 special-teams snaps.

The Patriots placed Baringer (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.

Baringer suffered an injury during the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles and has not practiced since the incident. The punter will now miss the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is eligible to return to the active roster, though it's possible he works out an injury settlement with the team between now and Week 5. The Patriots signed punter Mitch Wishnowsky to the practice squad Monday, and he's expected to fill in during Baringer's absence.
