Per Pro Football Rumors (Ely Allen) on September 19, 2026, here’s a compact roundup of this weekend’s Minor NFL Transactions. These transactions are mainly gameday practice-squad elevations and a handful of signings ahead of Week 2 — the usual churn teams use to address short-term injuries and special-teams needs. All roster and injury attributions below are credited to Pro Football Rumors unless otherwise noted. Verify any game-day availability with official team reports before making lineup or publishing decisions.
Table: Week 2 practice-squad elevations and minor moves
Minor NFL Transactions — Notable elevations and signings
Below are a few moves from the table that could have immediate game-day importance or fantasy relevance if the reported questionable/injury tags change. All move context is taken from the Pro Football Rumors report and labeled as such where relevant.
Josh Johnson (CIN): Elevated as emergency quarterback depth after the Bengals listed Joe Burrow as questionable. Johnson’s elevation is a standard contingency; only treat it as actionable for fantasy or reporting if the Bengals’ official game-day list confirms Burrow inactive.
Scott Daly (NO): Called up as the Saints’ long-snapper after veteran Zach Wood was placed on injured reserve, per the report. Long-snapper changes are low-profile but can affect field-goal and punt consistency; Daly’s timing with the Saints’ kicking game is worth monitoring through pregame special-teams periods.
Anthony Gould (IND): Elevated as the Colts’ immediate return option after Ashton Dulin was ruled out, according to the report. Gould’s role is primarily special-teams; fantasy managers in IDP or return-score formats should note the change.
Ogbonnia Okoronkwo (SF): Signed from the 49ers’ practice squad to the active roster, boosting interior defensive-line depth in a rotation-heavy unit. Practice-squad promotions to the active roster can indicate a longer-term spot than temporary elevations, though the team’s usage will determine impact.
Injury-linked moves and availability notes
Several transactions in this roundup are explicitly tied to reported injuries or questionable tags in the source. The Colts’ elevation of Anthony Gould follows the reported ankle issue for Ashton Dulin. The Saints’ call-up of Scott Daly followed Zach Wood’s placement on IR with a calf strain, per Pro Football Rumors. Treat those links as reported by the source and confirm via official team injury reports for final status.
The report also lists Joe Burrow (CIN) and Brock Bowers (LV) as questionable, prompting elevation of experienced backups like Josh Johnson and Chris Myarick. Questionable tags are provisional; teams frequently elevate contingency options ahead of game day. Always cross-check the official active/inactive list before making lineup or publication decisions.
Quick takeaways for fans and fantasy managers
- Practice-squad elevations remain the primary means teams add short-term game-day depth; expect similar activity before Week 3 as injuries and strategic needs develop.
- Special-teams elevations (long snapper, returner, punt/kick specialists) can change late and have outsized situational impact — monitor two hours before kickoff for final confirmation.
- Elevations tied to a questionable starter are contingency moves; only treat them as definitive when official game-day rosters are released.
For Patriots readers
New England’s elevation of punter Mitch Wishnowsky is listed in the table above (per Pro Football Rumors). For Patriots-focused coverage, roster churn across the league’s special-teams units is worth watching — a late injury to a returner or snapper can change a game plan at Gillette Stadium. Beat reporters and fantasy managers should monitor New England depth charts and game-day designations for starters such as Rhamondre Stevenson, Hunter Henry, and DeMario “Pop” Douglas as part of routine pregame checks, but this roundup does not link those players to the specific transactions above.
League-wide, these minor moves underscore how teams manage week-to-week availability. If you cover an AFC East team or the Patriots specifically, keep an eye on injury reports and official active lists for confirmation.
