Minor NFL Transactions: 8/4/25

August 5, 2025 by Pro Football Rumors

NFL teams are continuing to adjust their rosters to weather injuries and add depth with preseason games kicking off later this week. Here are the latest minor moves from around the league:

Buffalo Bills

  • Signed: OL Dan Feeney
  • Waived: DE Kameron Cline, OL Rush Reimer

Cleveland Browns

  • Signed: TE Mitch Van Vooren, RB Trayveon Williams
  • Waived: OT Julian Pearl

Detroit Lions

  • Signed: CB Luq Barcoo, CB D.J. Miller
  • Waived/injured: RB Kye Robichaux
  • Placed on IR: S Dan Jackson

Green Bay Packers

  • Signed: CB Corey Ballentine
  • Released: CB Gregory Junior

Houston Texans

  • Activated from active/PUP list: RB Dameon Pierce

Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Signed: OL Tremayne Anchrum, DL Austin Johnson
  • Waived: WR J.J. Jones

Los Angeles Chargers

  • Signed: DL Nesta Jade Silvera
  • Waived/injured: DL Josh Fuga

Miami Dolphins

  • Signed: TE Chris Myarick
  • Placed on IR: TE Jalin Conyers

Minnesota Vikings

  • Signed: TE Nick Vannett
  • Waived: OT Marcellus Johnson

New England Patriots

  • Activated from active/PUP list: OL Vederian Lowe

New York Giants

  • Signed: LB K.J. Cloyd, RB Jonathan Ward
  • Waived/injured: RB Rushawn Baker
  • Placed on IR: LB Ty Summers

Seattle Seahawks

  • Signed: LB Michael Dowell, LS Zach Triner
  • Placed on IR: S AJ Finley
  • Waived: LB Seth Coleman

The Lions’ additions were likely a result of a shoulder injury to second-year cornerback Ennis Rakestraw. Head coach Dan Campbell said (via team writer Tim Twentyman) that “it’s going to be a while, at best” until Rakestraw returns to the field.

Ballentine returns to Green Bay, where he spent the last three seasons, after a brief stint in Indianapolis this offseason. He started six games and played 488 snaps for the Packers in 2023, but primarily contributed on special teams in 2022 and 2024.

The Giants are dealing with a number of injuries in their running back room, per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan. Only Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, and Darius Miller are healthy, and the first two may not play much in the preseason. New York worked out a number of running backs on Monday, including Myles Gaskin and Isaiah Spiller (via KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson), but Ward impressed enough to join the squad moving forward.

Finley went down with a knee injury at training camp that is believed to be serious, pending additional tests, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson. Triner, meanwhile, will fill in for Seahawks third-year long snapper Chris Stoll, who is dealing with a back issue, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.
