Sunday's transaction log was shaped by injury fallout and a pair of notable reinforcements as clubs pushed toward cutdown week. The headline moves came from Cleveland and San Francisco, with Los Angeles and Jacksonville adding depth on the margins.
Cleveland Browns — Signed veteran defensive end Derek Barnett to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million after starter Alex Wright was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles. The club also waived tight end Dae'Quan Wright, who has an agreement to play for LSU in 2026 if he clears waivers — a historic first NFL-to-college move.
San Francisco 49ers — Re-signed tight end Khalil Dinkins to a three-year contract and reinstated All-Pro tight end George Kittle from the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list, clearing the way for him to return to practice ahead of the opener.
Los Angeles Chargers — Placed center Tyler Biadasz on season-ending injured reserve, ending his 2026 campaign after he exhausted all return options, and signed wide receiver Gary Jennings in a corresponding roster move.
Jacksonville Jaguars — Added defensive tackle Tommy Akingbesote via signing and waived cornerback Devon Marshall during the day's preseason churn.
