A busy Wednesday saw injured-reserve placements across Green Bay, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Dallas and Houston, big veteran pickups, and a league-wide wave of practice-squad signings

Wednesday was a heavy transaction day around the NFL, headlined by several significant injured-reserve placements and a few notable veteran arrivals.
