Here are Thursday’s minor transactions:
Chicago Bears
- Waived: LB Carl Jones Jr.
Denver Broncos
- Signed to active roster: WR Michael Bandy
- Elevated: TE Marcedes Lewis, CB Reese Taylor
Houston Texans
- Waived: CB Alijah Huzzie
Las Vegas Raiders
- Activated from IR: S Lonnie Johnson
Miami Dolphins
- Waived: TE Tanner Conner
Philadelphia Eagles
- Designated for return from IR: G Willie Lampkin
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Waived: DE DeMarvin Leal
Leal, a third-round pick out of Texas A&M in 2022, has failed to live up to his draft stock thus far in the NFL. After only seeing game time in three games this year, he’s been waived to make room for the defensive tackle Pittsburgh signed off of the Chiefs’ practice squad yesterday.
Huzzie, after spending much of his rookie season on the reserve/non-football injury list, is being sent to waivers. Should he clear them, it’s expected that he’ll return to Houston on a practice squad deal.
