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.

New Orleans made six roster moves after the preseason opener, trimming depth and shoring up with veterans and UDFA hopefuls. Will Clapp is headed to injured reserve after a foot injury, ending his season and forcing the Saints to rejigger the interior line behind Erik McCoy. Mason Pline lands on IR with an injury designation after his Chargers game, making his return in 2025 uncertain. Chris Tyree also lands on IR via injury designation, opening another roster spot. Seth Green is back on the 90-man roster, a move prompted by knee injuries to Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill and the general depth concerns at TE. DT Jayden Peevy and WR Roderick Daniels signed to the 90-man unit, adding two long-shot options with upside. The Saints’ shakeup aims to salvage depth ahead of the regular season while evaluating new names in a tight camp fight.

Standalone depth needs aside, the moves highlight a trend: the Saints are prioritizing versatile blockers and special-teams contributors who can contribute if the injuries linger. Green’s return signals a real push to evaluate a tight end room with more mass and run-game competence. Peevy’s size and practice-squad potential give New Orleans another big-body option on the defensive line. Daniels offers a dynamic playmaking profile for a wide receiver group that already features Olave and Shaheed, while the immediate IR designations create open doors for younger players to slide into opportunities as camp progresses.
