NFL Teams Reshuffle Practice Squads Ahead of Week 7
NFL teams made a series of practice-squad moves on Wednesday. Houston signed linebackers Jamal Hill and Kenneth Murray and placed running back Jawhar Jordan on the practice-squad injured list after his weekend elevation, while Cleveland, Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington also adjusted their squads. With David Montgomery injured, Deuce Vaughn could get a similar chance for Houston in Week 7.
Houston added linebackers Jamal Hill and Kenneth Murray to its practice squad and moved running back Jawhar Jordan to the practice-squad injured list. Jordan had been elevated for game day, rushed six times for 43 yards and a touchdown, then returned to the practice squad before the designation. David Montgomery remains injured, and Deuce Vaughn could get a Week 7 chance.
Elsewhere, Cleveland signed defensive tackle Eric Johnson II and cut end Nadame Tucker. Kansas City released running back Nathan Carter; Los Angeles added defensive tackle Jalen Hunt; San Francisco signed defensive tackle Naquan Jones and released linebacker Eugene Asante; Seattle added linebacker Josh Ross and released guard Evan Beerntsen; Washington signed linebacker Austin Keys.
These practice-squad changes may chiefly affect players on the roster bubble, their families, and team staff, since each move can alter short-term earnings and game-day chances. Houston’s injury situation could create an opening for a practice-squad running back, potentially influencing Week 7 roles and future opportunities. For fans and local communities, the impact is likely modest, though roster churn can shape interest in upcoming games and how supporters follow emerging players.
