Texas A&M’s weekend wrap centers on Aggies in the NFL and the ongoing roster shuffle across the league, plus a notable college commit entering the Aggies’ fold. Ali Dibba’s addition to McMillan’s 15-man roster stands out, signaling a new guard/wing dynamic as Dibba posted 17.2 ppg at SIU and earned a waiver for an extra season. In the NFL, the weekend highlighted a mix of Aggies on active rosters and preseason standouts, including DBs and WRs who flashed in limited action as teams paraded young talent ahead of final cuts.

Key health news hit Panthers pass-rusher Nic Scourton, who suffered a collapsed lung in a joint practice with the Texans and could miss game action to start the season. Other Aggies saw time across several games: Saints’ Jayden Peevy and Jaguars’ Antonio Johnson mixed in on defense; Eagles’ Ainias Smith showed a splash, while Browns’ Trayveon Williams and Steelers’ DeMarvin Leal logged snaps on offense and defense. The weekend also noted roster churn for veteran Aggies across multiple clubs and the evolving 53-man picture as August 27 nears.

Trayveon Williams, the former Cincinnati Bengals running back, has signed with the New England Patriots in the wake of the NFL draft and schedule release. Williams, who was drafted in the sixth round in 2019, previously served as a solid depth option in the Bengals' backfield and contributed significantly on special teams. His tenure with Cincinnati included two one-year contract extensions, reflecting his value to the team. However, with the Bengals reshaping their running back corps following Joe Mixon's departure, Williams sought new opportunities and has now found a place with the Patriots, where he will aim to carve out a similar role.

As the Patriots prepare for the upcoming season, Williams will look to establish himself within a competitive backfield, potentially providing a valuable asset in both running and special teams roles. His experience and versatility may prove critical as he attempts to make an impact in New England.

The New England Patriots have signed running back Trayveon Williams following a successful tryout on Wednesday, adding depth to their backfield. To make room for Williams, the team released veteran defensive tackle Charles Turner. Williams, a promising player from Cincinnati, has potential to contribute effectively alongside established backs.

This move comes as the Patriots look to bolster their roster, focusing on versatility and adaptability as they approach the season. Meanwhile, the release of Turner marks a shift in defensive strategy, indicating the team's eagerness to carve out competitive space in the roster.
