Here’s the full 90-man roster going into Week 3 of the NFL preseason.
The Seahawks are visiting the Packers today for an early kickoff (10:00 a.m. Pacific) in Green Bay. Our 90-man roster tracker is updated with jersey numbers for wide receiver Malik Flowers (No. 37), tight end Sal Cannella (No. 46) and defensive end Jordan Ferguson (No. 42).
Here’s the full 90-man roster going into Week 3 of the NFL preseason.
The defensive tackle has found a new home
Defensive tackle Roderick Perry signed with the Cleveland Browns last year after going undrafted in 2022 out of South Carolina State Illinois. He spend most of last season on the team’s practice squad before being promoted to the active roster in November. He signed a futures contract in the off-season before the team waived him in May.
He has now found a new home with the Seattle Seahawks who announced his signing on Sunday. Perry is a solid run defender at 6-foot-1 and 305 pounds and could help the Seahawks who lost a couple of defensive tackles to free agency this off-season though it’ll be an uphill battle for Perry.

Today comes word of yet another change to the team’s iDL depth up front.
Since the 2022 season ended the Seahawks front office has seemingly been obsessed with turning over their interior defensive line rotation. One can forgive them for being disappointed with the results last year, but the non-stop churn has been a real eye-opener.
Today comes word of yet another change to the team’s iDL depth up front. Veteran nose tackle Roderick Perry II – who signed only a few days ago – has been waived to make room for former Florida State nose tackle Robert Cooper, who spent time with the team earlier this offseason.
Seattle has also been busy on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Yesterday the team announced that they have re-signed former Washington State offensive lineman Liam Ryan, who spent last season on the practice squad.

The Browns have made a handful of roster moves.
The Cleveland Browns lost on Christmas Eve to the New Orleans Saints, but are hoping their holiday luck turns around on New Year’s Day against the Washington Commanders. On paper, the Browns seem to have an advantage, but that has not gone in their favor much this season. Can the Browns find a way to stack two wins to end the season?
On the Eve of their matchup, however, the Browns have made three roster moves before they take the field in the nation’s capital. Here are the three moves the Browns have made as they prepare to take on the Commanders in D.C. on New Year’s Day.

After the release of Roderick Perry II, is the return of Chase Winovich near for the Browns?
After signing him to the active roster just before the game against the Miami Dolphins, the Cleveland Browns have now waived defensive tackle Roderick Perry II just days later. They had an open roster spot open after designating both running back Jerome Ford and defensive end Chase Winovich for return from Injured Reserve (and only Ford was activated).
The waiving of Perry may now indicate that Winovich is set to be activated from the IR this week. Spending every day with the Browns through camp and the season on the practice squad, Perry will likely land back on the reserves unit should he clear waivers.
We have waived DT Roderick Perry II.

The Browns have made a flurry of roster moves on the eve of their matchup with the Miami Dolphins
The Cleveland Browns are set to take on the Miami Dolphins tomorrow, looking to continue to climb back from a 2-5 start. After a Halloween win over the Cincinnati Bengals, they now look to make it two in a row against the Dolphins in South Beach.
On the eve of this matchup, however, the Browns have made a slew of roster moves. One player has been waived, one activated from Injured Reserve, another signed to the active roster from the practice squad, and two elevated from the practice squad for the matchup.
We take a look at each of these moves and address their significance.

As Taven Bryan continues to fight through injury, the #Browns have activated Roderick Perry from the Practice Squad for Sunday’s game.
This might spell bad news for Taven Bryan as the Cleveland Browns have elevated Roderick Perry from the Practice Squad for Sunday’s showdown with the Atlanta Falcons. This is the second time Perry has been elevated, meaning the Browns can do it once more before they have to sign him to the active roster.
Bryan has not practiced the past two days for the Browns, so the elevation of Perry likely means he will not suit up this week. Look for second-year player Tommy Togiai to get the start in place of Bryan if this is the case. The Browns will need fourth rounder Perrion Winfrey to emerge as he will likely see a hefty amount of rotational snaps as well.

Both players will seek to play their first snaps on the #Browns defense in Week 2.

With a matchup against the New York Jets just a day away, the Cleveland Browns have elevated two players from their practice squad. Linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk and defensive tackle Roderick Perry are now eligible to play in Sunday’s game and may be called on to make some plays if the team decides to activate them.
Cleveland announced the move on Twitter:
We have elevated 2 players from our practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game
— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) September 17, 2022
Both players are set to play their first defensive snaps with the Browns if they see action against the Jets, though Kunaszyk is likely to see the field exclusively on special teams. The linebacker was involved in 22 of Cleveland’s special teams snaps last week, good for 69 percent of the team’s total opportunities in that phase.
Perry, on the other hand, is a rookie seeking to play the first snaps of his NFL career. His elevation comes on the heels of a disciplinary incident by the Browns related to rookie defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, who was absent from practice on Friday. It is unknown if the team plans to use Perry as a direct replacement for Winfrey, but the move certainly opens up that possibility.
The Browns’ showdown against the Jets is set to be a slugfest, as both teams look to show their fans they’re ready to compete this season. Both franchises have something to prove in the Week 2 scrap and are likely to bring innovative gameplans into the matchup as they seek to hone their skills before they get into the meat of their schedule.
Cleveland’s decision to elevate Kunaszyk and Perry won’t prove to be the most consequential move they make in the month of September but has significant implications for each player. Both prospects are being given the chance to show that they have what it takes to make it on an NFL defense, and with some luck, could do enough to maintain their status on the 53-man roster.
As the Cleveland Browns continue to wade through the discipline of Perrion Winfrey, they are elevating Roderick Perry from the Practice Squad.
The Cleveland Browns are now making moves after rookie defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey was dismissed from practice for disciplinary reasons. Brad Stainbrook of The OBR has reported that the Browns are now elevating Roderick Perry from the Practice Squad for their game against the New York Jets.
Perry, a former undrafted free agent out of the Univeristy of Illinois, was with the Browns all training camp and preseason before falling victim to cutdowns as they trimmed their roster to 53. He has since been on the Practice Squad in Cleveland. Thanks to Winfrey, Perry will now get an opportunity to make a statement on Sunday as the Jets come to town.
Winfrey played just five snaps in the season opener against the Carolina Panthers, so there is a chance Perry still may not see the field. You can bet he will be ready if his number is called, however.

Joseph played his way into middle-round status and has the workout numbers to back it up
The collegiate pro day circuit kicked off this week, a chance for NFL teams to work out prospects at colleges all over the country. One of the pro days where the Detroit Lions were confirmed by sources to be in attendance came on Friday at Illinois.
The Fighting Illini have a few budding prospects, but the most interesting from a Lions standpoint is safety Kerby Joseph. The 6-1, 203-pound Joseph blossomed as a prospect in 2021 with five INTs in the process of earning the highest Pro Football Focus coverage grade of any safety in college football. He posted an impressive 38.5″ vertical jump at the scouting combine recently. Joseph is generally projected in the 4th-6th rounds.
Offensive lineman Vederian Lowe and linebacker Jake Hansen are other Illini prospects who could intrigue the Lions. Both were at the NFL scouting combine and stand a chance to be drafted. QB Brandon Peters and DT Roderick Perry are among the other notables. Perry, a transfer from South Carolina State, did very well for himself during the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
