Titans make flurry of roster moves ahead of Dolphins game

In preparation for Monday Night Football, the Tennessee Titans made some roster moves ahead of the Week 4 match-up with the Miami Dolphins.

In a move head coach Brian Callahan mentioned as a possibility earlier in the week, the Titans placed CB Chidobe Awuzie on injured reserve. The veteran cornerback injured his groin against the Green Bay Packers and has been shelved for a minimum of four weeks.

While there has not been an update on the severity of the injury, it is likely he will be out for several weeks. In his absence, rookie fifth-round selection Jarvis Brownlee Jr. will likely take on a larger role on defense. 

The Titans made a second move that was mentioned by Callahan. To take Awuzie’s spot, the Titans promoted LB Luke Gifford to the active 53-man roster. Gifford, who was elevated from the practice squad in the first three games of the season, is a special teams standout and if not added to the roster would have been ineligible to be called upon again. 

With an open spot on the practice squad, the Titans added former Denver Broncos third-round pick DT McTelvin Agim to the unit. For his career, he has recorded 14 tackles, one tackle for loss, and 1.5 sacks for the Broncos, Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans.

Ex-Broncos third-round draft pick works out for Cardinals

The Cardinals worked out McTelvin Agim, the Falcons signed Elijah Wilkinson and the Lions promoted Tim Patrick to the active roster today.

The Arizona Cardinals brought in former Denver Broncos defensive lineman McTelvin Agim for a workout on Tuesday, according to KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson.

Agim (6-3, 300 pounds) was picked by the Broncos in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Arkansas. He recorded eight tackles in ten games as a rookie and four tackles and 1.5 sacks in seven games in 2021. After failing to make the team’s 53-man roster in 2022, he spent most of that season on the practice squad before being released in December.

Since being cut by the Broncos, the 26-year-old Agim has spent time with the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts. He played in one game with the Colts last fall, recording two tackles.

Elsewhere on the ex-Denver player front, the Atlanta Falcons signed former Broncos lineman Elijah Wilkinson to their active roster on Tuesday and the Detroit Lions promoted wide receiver Tim Patrick from the practice squad to their 53-man roster ahead of Week 4.

Colts reportedly sign DT McTelvin Agim to practice squad

The Colts are reportedly signing DT McTelvin Agim to the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts continue to round out their practice squad, reportedly signing defensive tackle McTelvin Agim, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Agim would make the Colts’ initial 53-man roster in 2023 and then was quickly waived before being added to the practice squad. Agim would appear in one game last season, the team’s Week 8 matchup with New Orleans.

He played six special teams snaps and 13 on defense, totaling one pressure and two total tackles.

Agim was signed to the Texans’ practice squad in mid-January prior to their playoff matchup with Baltimore. He then spent the offseason and training camp in Houston.

Appearing in all four of the Texans’ preseason games, Agim played 116 snaps on defense, totaling three pressures and three tackles. He was waived by Houston during roster cutdowns.

The Colts have a very robust defensive front on the 53-man roster that should be one of the more disruptive units in football. If there is a question mark, it is around their run defense depth–although the addition of Raekwon Davis and a Year 2 jump from Adetomiwa Adebawore can help solidify that unit.

As of Thursday morning, the Colts still have four spots available on their practice squad. To stay up to date with who they’ve signed, click here.

Colts sign DT McTelvin Agim to the practice squad

McTelvin Agim is returning to the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts signed defensive tackle McTelvin Agim to the practice squad and released defensive tackle Caleb Sampson from the practice squad, the team announced Thursday.

Agim initially made the 53-man roster for the Colts following the deadline Tuesday but was among the players waived the following day when the waiver claims went through.

Agim had a solid showing during the preseason as a depth interior defensive line piece, and he’ll continue to work on the practice squad.

Sampson initially joined the Colts this offseason as an undrafted free-agent rookie out of Kansas. He was waived during roster cuts and signed to the practice squad.

Colts place TE Jelani Woods on IR among several roster moves

Jelani Woods will start the season on the injured reserve list.

The Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods was placed on the injured reserve list among several roster moves, the team announced Wednesday.

Woods has been dealing with a torn hamstring since the start of training camp, which was the reaggravation of the injury he dealt with during the spring workouts.

The second-year tight end was held out of the majority of training camp and the entirety of the preseason. Because he was placed on the injured reserve list after the waiver process concluded, he will be eligible to return but after he’s forced to miss the first four games of the season.

The Colts made three roster claims Wednesday in the forms of offensive tackle Ryan Hayes, guard Josh Sills and linebacker Isaiah Land.

In order to make room on the roster for those three waiver claims, the Colts waived defensive tackle McTelvin Agim and guard/tackle Carter O’Donnell. They also released wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie, who was almost immediately re-signed to the roster.

5 observations from Day 10 of Colts training camp

Our own Meghan Hall gives her five observations from Day 10 of Colts training camp.

As the first game of the preseason approaches, the Indianapolis Colts are making final tweaks to how they will show up at Orchard Park on Saturday when they visit the Buffalo Bills.

That included a lighter training camp practice on Thursday, which was their 10th practice since the opening of camp. While we conducted a quick roundup of what went down, we’ll dive a bit deeper into the day’s practice.

Here are five observations from Day 10 of Colts training camp:

Colts sign 12 players to futures contracts

The Colts signed 12 players to futures contracts.

The Indianapolis Colts signed 12 players to Reserve/Futures contracts, the team announced Monday.

As is typical protocol following the end of the regular season, the Colts will be preparing to expand their roster to 90 players for the offseason. Much of that includes signing players to futures contracts.

The expansion of the roster to 90 players doesn’t go into effect until the start of the new league year, which is March 15. That’s why it’s technically a reserve contract. This is essentially stating the player will be on the 90-man roster when the time comes.

There is no limit to how many futures contracts the Colts have as long as they are within the 90-man limit when the new league year rolls around.

Here’s a look at the 12 players signed to futures contracts to begin the offseason:

Broncos made several roster moves on Tuesday

After placing RB Mike Boone on IR, the Broncos are adding WR Freddie Swain.

The Denver Broncos made several changes to their roster on Tuesday.

First, the Broncos placed running back Mike Boone on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Because there are only four games left this year, Boone’s season is now over.

To fill Boone’s former spot on the 53-man roster, Denver signed wide receiver Freddie Swain off the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Swain played with Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson from 2020-2021, catching 38 passes for 502 yards and six touchdowns in 33 games with the Seattle Seahawks.

Additionally, Denver released defensive lineman McTelvin Agim from the practice squad. A former third-round pick in 2020, Agim never lived up to his high draft status with the Broncos.

Denver also lost backup guard Netane Muti on Tuesday — he left the team’s practice squad to join the Las Vegas Raiders’ active roster.

After cutting Agim and losing Muti, the Broncos have two open spots on the practice squad. Denver might save those two spots for players cut this week to make room for other players returning from injured reserve.

Broncos outside linebacker Randy Gregory (knee) and safety Caden Sterns (hip) are both eligible to return from IR, but the Broncos will have to make room for them on the 53-man roster.

Every NFL team’s most surprising roster cut

We didn’t expect these 32 cuts across the NFL.

With the preseason in the books, every NFL team has now trimmed their roster to the league–mandated 53 players. While these rosters will certainly undergo changes over the next couple of days, each team has their initial 53-man roster set.

But when going from 80 to 53 players, there are some tough calls NFL general managers have to make in the process. And there were certainly some shocking moves across the league during the final roster cuts, which should make for some interesting moves on the waiver wire.

We’ve rounded up our NFL Wires editors to highlight the most surprising roster cut from every NFL team.
