Cardinals sign WR, RB before joint practices with Colts

They announced the addition of RB Hassan Hall and WR Daylen Baldwin.

The Arizona Cardinals made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday. After working out seven players before heading to Indianapolis, they signed two players — a wide receiver and a running back.

They announced the addition of receiver Daylen Baldwin and running back Hassan Hall.

Baldwin is a 6-foot-2, 212-pound receiver who has bounced around the league since entering as a rookie free agent in 2022, spending time with the Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings. He has two career receptions.

Hall spent a week on Arizona’s practice squad last year. He is 5-foot-10 and 196 pounds and spent the 2023 preseason with Cleveland after entering the league with the Browns as an undrafted rookie free agent. Afer his stint with the Cardinals, he also spent time with the Giants and Chiefs.

They had one roster spot open after releasing linebacker Marquise Haynes last week. To make room for both players, they released receiver Jeff Smith.

The addition of a running back suggests perhaps there is an injury they are dealing with. James Conner and Emari Demercado both sat out last week’s preseason game. Demercado got hurt last week.

We will see if any of the other running backs misses time this week in practice.

Vikings waive wide receiver Daylen Baldwin

The Minnesota Vikings waived wide receiver Daylin Baldwin on Monday. The move comes after a flurry of UDFA signings by the team.

The Minnesota Vikings waived wide receiver Daylin Baldwin on Monday. The move comes after a flurry of UDFA signings by the team. The Vikings brought in a total of three wide receivers who went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Baldwin went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft. During the 2021 season at Michigan, he caught just 17 passes for 256 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Despite the lack of production, Baldwin had a size that teams thought they could work with. He would sign with the Cleveland Browns practice squad for the 2022 season before being waived and picked up by the Vikings in 2023.

He would stay on the Vikings practice squad and be waived and picked up several times before being released again on Monday. He is a former teammate of new franchise leader J.J. McCarthy so they could keep tabs on him as a camop body if an injury were to occur.

Giving McCarthy a familiar face may help his transition to the NFL, but outside of that, his role isn’t expected to be much if he is brought back again.

Vikings sign WR Daylen Baldwin to futures contract

Baldwin becomes the 12th player the Vikings have signed to a futures contract.

The Minnesota Vikings are continuing to address their roster during the first portion of the offseason. The team announced that they have signed wide receiver Daylen Baldwin to a reserve/futures contract.

The Vikings had brought in Baldwin to the practice squad during the season and he lasted a few weeks before the Vikings released him. He was added to the practice squads initially to fortify a wide receiver room that was dealing with injury.

Just nine days from the Vikings starting their offseason, they have now signed 12 players to futures contracts, including running back Myles Gaskin and wide receiver N’Keal Harry.

Vikings sign offensive lineman to practice squad

Byrd returns to the practice squad where he spent over two months

The Minnesota Vikings have made a move on the practice for the second consecutive day.

On Tuesday, the Vikings released wide receiver Daylen Baldwin and used that spot to re-sign offensive lineman Henry Byrd to the practice squad.

The Vikings had initially signed Byrd to the practice squad after final cuts when he was waived by the Denver Broncos. He was on the practice squad until November fourth when he was waived in a fleury of roster moves.

The Vikings brought him back to the practice squad after trimming down from five to four wide receivers. They are also a little thin on the offensive line due to the injuries suffered by Brian O’Neill, Ed Ingram and Dalton Risner.

Byrd likely won’t be elevated at all, but his presence will help the team in practice.

Vikings release WR from practice squad

The Vikings have released one of their five wide receivers from the practice squad

After the somewhat successful return of wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the Minnesota Vikings cleared up some of their logjam at wide receiver on the practice squad. The team announced on Tuesday afternoon that they released wide receiver Daylen Baldwin from the practice squad.

The Vikings signed Baldwin to the practice squad back on November 22nd to help fortify a room that was dealing with the Jefferson injury and bumps and bruises. He was only on the practice squad for one game before being released.

Baldwin went undrafted out of Michigan in the 2022 NFL draft and signed with the Cleveland Browns. He played in one game for the Browns and caught two passes for 25 yards.

The release of Baldwin means that the Vikings have one spot open on the practice squad.

Vikings sign a WR to the practice squad

The Vikings now have three wide receivers on the practice squad

The Minnesota Vikings added a player to the practice squad by signing wide receiver Daylen Baldwin to the practice squad.

The initial thought is that Trishton Jackson would be signed to the practice squad, but he hasn’t cleared waivers yet and there is still room for one more.

Baldwin went undrafted out of Michigan in the 2022 NFL draft and signed with the Cleveland Browns. He played in one game for the Browns and caught two passes for 25 yards.

He spent time at Morgan State and Jackson State before his one season at Michigan in 2021. Baldwin wasn’t productive in those 14 games, catching 17 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns.

The Vikings now have three wide receivers on the practice squad.

Browns host Joe Flacco, Daylen Baldwin, 9 others for workout on Friday

The Browns hosted 11 for a workout today

The news out of Berea today as the Cleveland Browns hunt for another quarterback to stick on their roster was that veteran gunslinger Joe Flacco was in town for a workout. According to Aaron Wilson, however, Flacco was not the only player to work out today in Berea. Former Cleveland wide receiver Daylen Baldwin returned to try out for the Browns, but he and Flacco were just two among 11 the team hosted as they prepare for the Pittsburgh Steelers this week.

With Deshaun Watson sidelined for the rest of the season, the Browns now have just fifth round rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson and P.J. Walker as the two quarterbacks on their roster. They are expected to add another to their roster soon.

Here are all 11 players that found their way into the facility as the team looks to potentially shake up their practice squad and give Flacco some targets to throw to during his workout.

Browns: Kevin Stefanski gives injury updates after Pro Hall of Fame Game victory

The Browns did not leave the Pro Hall of Fame Game unscathed.

The Cleveland Browns opened up the preseason with a 21-16 victory over the New York Jets in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. They shined in their first game in the NFL as Dorian Thompson-Robinson stole the show in Canton. They did not leave unscathed, however, as Thomas Graham Jr. and Daylen Baldwin both departed the exhibition match.

During the game, a few players left with injuries and on Friday Kevin Stefanski spoke with the media to update media and fans. Two players that are fighting for roster spots will now miss significant time according to the Browns head coach. Let’s take a look below at the three injury updates that Stefanski gave during his Friday media availability after Thursday’s game.

WR Daylen Baldwin ruled out with hamstring injury

Daylen Baldwin left the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game with a hamstring injury.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Daylen Baldwin suffered a hamstring injury during the second quarter. The second-year wide receiver has been ruled out for the rest of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game against the New York Jets.

Baldwin was seen walking into the injury tent under his own power, as reported by Mary Kay Cabot. The second-year wide receiver had a shaky game, dropping a deep pass in the first quarter. Baldwin is battling for a roster spot this season and a significant injury could derail his chances to make the team. Baldwin played in one game last year catching two passes for twenty-five yards in a victory over Baltimore.
