Raiders sign Ronnie Bell, Evan Neal, Azeez Ojulari to practice squad
The Las Vegas Raiders signed wide receiver Ronnie Bell, guard Evan Neal, and Azeez Ojulari to their practice squad, according to Adam Schefter. Bell was recently waived by the Saints. None of the three are fantasy-relevant in standard formats right now, though Bell is worth a watch if he earns an elevation.

The New England Patriots re-signed center Ben Brown and rookie linebacker Erick Hunter to their 53-man roster. They also added LB K.J. Britt, DT Jalen Hunt, OL Jake Kubas, and LB Jose Ramirez to the practice squad. None of these moves affect any fantasy-relevant skill position.

Saints sign Cedric Tillman, Stone Smartt to practice squad
The New Orleans Saints signed wide receiver Cedric Tillman and tight end Stone Smartt to their practice squad, according to Adam Schefter. Stone Smartt's addition is confirmed by ESPN reporting. Tillman was previously waived by Cleveland, though his Saints signing has not been independently confirmed beyond Schefter's post. Neither player is a fantasy factor at this stage.

49ers re-sign Ashtyn Davis, Corliss Waitman; Hobbs and Martin to IR
San Francisco re-signed safety Ashtyn Davis and punter Corliss Waitman to one-year contracts. Cornerback Nate Hobbs and linebacker Nick Martin both landed on injured reserve. Hobbs is the name with the most fantasy-adjacent relevance, as his IR designation opens depth chart questions in the 49ers secondary.

Eagles practice squad signings: Dameon Pierce, Britain Covey headline group
The Philadelphia Eagles announced a wave of practice squad signings headlined by RB Dameon Pierce and RB Carson Steele. WR Britain Covey also returns to the practice squad. Neither Pierce nor Steele is on the active roster, so neither carries immediate fantasy value, but both are worth tracking as handcuff insurance given their proximity to the 53-man roster.

Commanders sign Brunskill, Petit-Frere, Scharping in OL moves
The Washington Commanders signed three offensive linemen: center Daniel Brunskill, offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere, and guard Max Scharping.

Connor Hulstein signs with New York Jets as UDFA
Tight end Connor Hulstein, who played at Marist University, has signed with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent. The 6'5" FCS pass-catcher set Marist single-season records for receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and yards per reception by a tight end in 2025. He has no fantasy value right now and would need a strong camp performance just to earn a practice squad spot.

Ogbo Okoronkwo signs with 49ers as pass rush depth
Veteran edge rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo is signing with the San Francisco 49ers, per ESPN's J. Fowler and Adam Schefter. The move is a depth addition as San Francisco manages workloads for Nick Bosa (post-ACL) and Mykel Williams (active/PUP). Okoronkwo has no direct fantasy value, but the 49ers pass rush situation is worth monitoring for IDP managers.

Damarri Mathis signed by Browns, recovering from ACL tear
The Cleveland Browns signed cornerback Damarri Mathis and waived rookie cornerback Dom Jones with a failed physical designation, per Adam Schefter. Mathis tore his ACL in practice with the Carolina Panthers in September 2025, so his timeline is uncertain. No impact in standard formats; IDP managers should add him to a watchlist but not expect near-term production.
