49ers to add DL depth with veteran DT Taylor Stallworth on practice squad

The #49ers are adding some internal depth on the D-line with injuries stacking up:

The 49ers are adding some internal depth to their defensive line. According to agent Brett Tessler, San Francisco is signing former Titans defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth to their practice squad. It’s unclear what the corresponding move is since the team hasn’t officially announced the addition.

Stallworth’s addition comes on the heels of second-year DT Kalia Davis going on IR with an ankle injury, leaving the 49ers woefully short on bodies at defensive tackle. Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead are both battling injuries heading into Week 16, leaving only Javon Kinlaw and Kevin Givens as the two healthy players at that position.

Veteran DT T.Y. McGill also resides on the practice squad and figures to see time on the active roster if the team is still dealing with injuries come Monday.

Stallworth since debuting with the Saints in 2018 has played in 58 games with two starts. He’s seen time on the field with New Orleans, Indianapolis, Houston, Kansas City and Tennessee. In his 58 games he has 52 tackles, seven tackles for loss, 14 QB hits and 4.5 sacks.

Titans release DL Taylor Stallworth from injured reserve

The Titans released DL Taylor Stallworth from injured reserve on Tuesday.

The Tennessee Titans made a roster move on Tuesday with the release of a player off injured reserve.

According to his agent, Brett Tessler, defensive lineman Taylor Stallworth has been let go from injured reserve. Tessler notes that Stallworth is now healthy and ready to play.

The Titans signed Stallworth to the practice squad early last month before promoting him to the active roster. However, the veteran defensive lineman suffered an undisclosed injury in his Tennessee debut, forcing him to IR.

The 28-year-old was originally an undrafted free-agent signing of the New Orleans Saints out of South Carolina in 2018. He’s played in games with the Saints, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs.

The Titans, who now sport a 3-6 record this season, will return to the field on Sunday when they travel to Duval to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team coming off an ugly loss of its own.

Titans add two to practice squad among 4 moves

The Titans added two to the practice squad on Monday while letting go of two others.

On Monday, the Tennessee Titans added two players to their practice squad while letting go of two others.

The team announced it has signed both defensive lineman Taylor Stallworth and defensive back Tay Gowan to the practice squad. Getting the boot are defensive back Armani Marsh and offseason award-winner and defensive lineman, Jayden Peevy.

Here’s what we wrote on Stallworth when the move was first announced by his agent earlier in the day:

A former undrafted free-agent signing of the New Orleans Saints out of South Carolina, Stallworth has appeared in 57 games (two starts) over five seasons in the NFL, tallying 4.5 sacks, 52 combined tackles (seven for loss) and 14 QB hits. He has not taken a snap this season, though.

Gowan was originally a sixth-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2021. He’s appeared in five games during his career, including two with the Philadelphia Eagles and three with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Central Florida product has tallied two tackles in 44 defensive snaps and 47 special teams snaps.

Tennessee’s secondary and defensive line struggled mightily in Week 5, so the team making some moves at both position groups isn’t surprising. Both Stallworth and Gowan give Tennessee more experienced options on the practice squad than they had in Peevy and Marsh.

Titans signing DL Taylor Stallworth to practice squad

The Titans are signing DL Taylor Stallworth to their practice squad.

One day after the Tennessee Titans were absolutely toasted in the run game, the team is planning on signing a defensive lineman to the practice squad.

Per his agent, Brett Tessler, the Titans are signing defensive lineman Taylor Stallworth to the practice squad. Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.com reports Tennessee will release Jayden Peevy, so there’s your corresponding move.

A former undrafted free-agent signing of the New Orleans Saints out of South Carolina, Stallworth has appeared in 57 games (two starts) over five seasons in the NFL, tallying 4.5 sacks, 52 combined tackles (seven for loss) and 14 QB hits. He has not taken a snap this season, though.

The Titans have two other defensive linemen on their practice squad in Jaleel Johnson, who was elevated for Week 5 with Teair Tart out, and rookie TK McLendon.

The Titans’ run defense was gashed for nearly 200 yards in Week 5. The hope is that Tart, who was sorely missed, will be back for Week 6.

Texans work out DTs Taylor Stallworth, Trysten Hill

The Houston Texans worked out defensive tackles Taylor Stallworth and Trysten Hill.

The Houston Texans continue to evaluate beyond the organization for the possibility to improve the team’s depth.

According to a league source, the Texans worked out defensive tackles Taylor Stallworth and Trysten Hill Thursday.

Stallworth was on the Texans’ roster last season, and played one game while recording four combined tackles and a tackle for loss. The Texans placed Stallworth on injured reserve following his lone game in Week 15. Houston later placed Stallworth on injured reserve in May during offseason workouts with an injury settlement and release at the end of the month. Since then, Stallworth has been with the Carolina Panthers, who released him on Sept. 11.

Hill, 25, is a former Dallas Cowboys 2019 second-rounder, and was last with the Cleveland Browns practice squad and was released on Sept. 26.

Panthers announce 11 signings to initial 2023 practice squad

The Panthers signed the first 11 players to their initial 2023 practice squad.

The Carolina Panthers did plenty of work on Tuesday, making over 20 moves to get their once 90-man roster down to just 53. But, as always, their work was never done.

Next, on Wednesday, came the construction of the team’s initial practice squad. Here, as announced this afternoon, are the first 11 members of the group:

  • RB Spencer Brown
  • G Deonte Brown
  • G J.D. DiRenzo
  • G Justin McCray
  • DL Raequan Williams
  • DL Taylor Stallworth
  • OLB Eku Leota
  • OLB Jordan Thomas
  • CB Mark Milton
  • CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III
  • S Eric Rowe

With NFL teams allowed to carry 16 players per practice squad, the Panthers will have five more spots to fill in the upcoming days. So expect, especially after the extra cuts and maneuvering throughout the league on Wednesday, some more additions soon.

As for who those additions may be, Carolina could look to bring back the trio of players they just waived in quarterback Matt Corral, wide receiver Derek Wright and linebacker Chandler Wooten.

Tracking the Panthers’ initial 2023 practice squad

Keep it here as the Panthers build their initial practice squad for the 2023 season:

Now that the Carolina Panthers have established their initial 53-man roster (and whatever tweaks that may come after it), it’s time to build the initial practice squad.

Keep it here as we track each addition to the group.

Panthers cut OL Cameron Erving, 2 others to get to 53-man roster

The Panthers have cut OL Cameron Erving, CB Greg Mabin and DL Taylor Stallworth to reach their initial 53-man roster.

The Carolina Panthers made 24 moves leading into Tuesday afternoon’s practice, cutting 22 players and placing two more—guard Austin Corbett and defensive lineman Henry Anderson—on the shelf. So, that left them with three more to make before this afternoon’s 4 p.m. ET deadline.

And now, they’ve made them.

As announced 20 minutes after said deadline, the Panthers parted ways with three more players—offensive tackle Cameron Erving, defensive lineman Taylor Stallworth and cornerback Greg Mabin.

Erving, of course, pops as the most notable departure of the trio. The former Cleveland Browns first-round pick and member of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LIV team re-signed with the Panthers back in May on a one-year deal.

He’s spent the last two seasons in Carolina, appearing in 20 games with nine starts at the left tackle position in 2021. In his lone appearance of the 2023 preseason, the 6-foot-5, 315-pounder allowed four pressures in just 14 pass-blocking opportunities.
