Happy Thanksgiving! Here are the holiday’s minor NFL transactions and some standard gameday elevations for today’s night game and tomorrow’s Black Friday game:
Atlanta Falcons
- Waived: OLB Khalid Kareem
Baltimore Ravens
- Elevated: DE Carl Lawson, LB Chandler Martin
Chicago Bears
- Elevated: OL Jordan McFadden, LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin
- Placed on IR: G Luke Newman
- Waived: RB Brittain Brown
Cincinnati Bengals
- Elevated: RB Gary Brightwell, CB Jalen Davis
Philadelphia Eagles
- Elevated: OLB Patrick Johnson, S Andre’ Sam
- Reverted to season-ending IR: G Willie Lampkin
Newman and Brown were removed from the Bears’ 53-man roster as corresponding moves to make room for their two activations off injured reserve today.
Martin is being called up as a standard gameday practice squad elevation for the third time this year. If the Ravens would like him to play in any more games after this week, they’ll need to sign him to the 53-man roster.
Lampkin was designated to return from IR back on November 6, and his 21-day practice squad window has come and gone without an activation by the Eagles. The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina will spend the rest of his rookie season on IR, as a result of not being activated.
