Friday’s minor roster moves:
Buffalo Bills
- Signed to active roster: WR Jalen Virgil
Cincinnati Bengals
- Claimed off waivers (from Lions): WR Isaiah Williams
New England Patriots
- Waived: LB Raekwon McMillan
San Francisco 49ers
- Waived: RB Patrick Taylor
Taylor was waived today in anticipation of everyone’s expectation that Christian McCaffrey will finally be coming off of injured reserve to make his season debut this week.
Virgil was previously on the Broncos but landed on waivers as part of final roster cuts before the start of the regular season. According to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette, Denver tried desperately to sign him to their practice squad after he cleared waivers, but Virgil ultimately decided to sign with Buffalo’s practice squad. He’ll now get an opportunity on the team’s active roster after two standard gameday elevations this year.
Despite being a vested veteran, McMillan will need to clear waivers in order to be re-signed to the Patriots’ practice squad, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. The team already has Joe Giles-Harris and Monty Rice on the practice squad at the position.
