Minor NFL Transactions: 8/22/25

As teams begin to whittle their rosters down to the eventual 53 players, here are a few transactions aside from mass cuts:

Buffalo Bills

• Waived (with injury settlement): WR Jalen Virgil

Denver Broncos

• Waived (with injury settlement): CB Gregory Junior

Detroit Lions

• Released (with injury settlement): OL Keaton Sutherland

Houston Texans

• Released (with injury settlement): TE Dalton Keene
• Waived (with injury settlement): WR Xavier Johnson

New York Jets

• Reverted to IR: CB Ryan Cooper Jr.

Philadelphia Eagles

• Signed: DE Jereme Robinson
• Placed on IR: WR Johnny Wilson (story)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

An important note for cuts moving forward: different from the usual 24-hour waiver period, any players waived between now and the roster cut deadline will remain on the waiver wire, available to be claimed, until Wednesday.
