Here are today’s minor moves from around the NFL:
Carolina Panthers
- Placed on non-football injury list: LB DJ Johnson
Cleveland Browns
- Signed to active roster from practice squad: WR Kaden Davis, DT Michael Dwumfour, S Christopher Edmonds
- Placed on injured reserve: RB Jerome Ford, TE David Njoku, RB Pierre Strong
- Elevated from practice squad: CB Kahlef Hailassie, RB Jacob Kibodi
Green Bay Packers
- Placed on non-football injury list: RB MarShawn Lloyd
New York Giants
- Placed on injured reserve: DT Armon Watts
Johnson sustained a concussion in a car accident earlier this week, per ESPN’s David Newton. The 2023 third-round pick will miss the Panthers’ final regular season after 14 appearances (including two starts) this year.
The Browns added three more players to injured reserve before Saturday’s matchup with the Ravens, including their leading rusher in Ford and second-leading pass-catcher in Njoku. Those absences have extended Baltimore to 19.5-point favorites as they look to lock up the AFC North. Cleveland will finish the year with 23 players on IR, including key players like Deshaun Watson and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.
