The New York Jets added depth at defensive back by signing Nik Needham to the practice squad after a Tuesday workout that included eight DBs: Nik Needham, Jaden Davis, Thomas Graham, Richie Grant, Arthur Maulet, Tanner McAlister, Jalen Mills, and Duke Shelley. With two injuries in the secondary, the club is layering options as they monitor additional silhouettes for potential roster moves.

Needham stands out given his Dolphins tenure and recent PS experience, plus his size and versatility. Mills is a veteran name headed toward the Texans’ practice squad, while Graham’s 12-game resume since 2021 makes him a candidate to watch. Maulet is a familiar face, and Shelley, Davis, and McAlister add depth pieces with potential special-teams value. The Jets are casting a wide net as they navigate a banged-up secondary and look for reliable depth behind the starters.

Colts eye six cornerbacks and a center to fill an open roster spot after Week 2, staging seven workouts including Isaiah Bolden, Tre Flowers, Keenan Garber, Daequan Hardy, Keenan Isaac, Nik Needham and Jimmy Morrissey. Injuries tighten the depth chart as Indy weighs immediate help at cornerback and an interior blocker, with Chris Lammons likely to land on the 53-man roster and a corresponding practice-squad shuffle looming.

Jaylon Jones is on IR and Charvarius Ward was in concussion protocol, underscoring why the club is expanding CB options. The workouts signal a practical, depth-focused move rather than a blockbuster signing, with the potential for one of the tested players to secure a roster spot as Indy races to bolster a vulnerable unit.

Browns depth chart reshuffle: Tyler Huntley and 20 others were released as Cleveland trims to 53, while Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel survived the cut.

The moves tighten the quarterback room around Deshaun Watson and ignite camp battles for backup roles, with waivers at cornerback, tight end, and along the line forcing sharper evaluation for fantasy rosters and Dynasty targets. Expect more practice-squad churn as Cleveland finalizes its roster ahead of Week 1.

Veteran cornerback Nik Needham made an impressive contribution in the Browns' preseason game against the Panthers, securing his first interception of the season. The interception, which occurred in the third quarter, showcased Needham's athleticism as he picked off a pass intended for tight end Tommy Tremble, thrown by quarterback Andy Dalton. This defensive play highlighted Cleveland's strong performance on that side of the ball, building off their reputation as a formidable defensive unit for the 2025 season.
