The Tennessee Titans claimed four players off waivers, including DB Jalyn Armour-Davis, LB Dorian Mausi Jr., DB Samuel Womack III, and DE C.J. Ravenell, while releasing five players from their roster, such as Timmy Horne, Curtis Jacobs, Jeudy-Lally, John Ojukwu, and Corey Levin.

The Texas Rangers recalled Josh Jung, Michael Helman, and Cole Winn from AAA Round Rock due to team needs, while pitcher Chris Martin was placed on the injured list with a calf strain. The team is managing roster moves around injuries and player performance, with Jung returning quickly and Winn getting a temporary spot in the rotation.
The New England Patriots have activated guard Cole Strange to their 53-man roster after he was previously on the Reserve/PUP List due to an injury. Wide receiver K.J. Osborn has been released after joining the team as a free agent from Minnesota. Additionally, kicker John Parker Romo has been signed to the practice squad, while linebacker Keshawn Banks has been released from it. These moves are part of a series of roster adjustments by the Patriots.
The New York Giants have signed veteran defensive back Elijah Riley and waived/injured running back Gary Brightwell. Riley, who has played for the Eagles, Jets, and Steelers, brings experience to the Giants' secondary. Brightwell, drafted by the Giants in 2021, played in 37 games as a running back and kickoff returner. The Giants now have several young players vying for backup running back positions.
The Detroit Pistons made a flurry of moves at the trade deadline, overhauling more than half of their roster by shipping out veterans and bringing in younger, more dynamic players. The team also managed to maintain financial flexibility and open up max cap space for the next offseason. Depending on who you ask, the outcome of the trade deadline for the Pistons is seen as either a disaster or a home run.
As the 2023 NFL trade deadline approaches, several teams should consider being sellers and others should be buyers. The Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, and New England Patriots are among the teams that should consider trading away certain players to stockpile for the future. On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, and Buffalo Bills should look to acquire players to strengthen their rosters. Potential trade targets include wide receivers, edge rushers, secondary players, running backs, and offensive linemen.
Over 1,000 NFL players will hit the waiver wire as teams cut down their rosters to the 53-player limit. The waiver order is determined by team records, with the worst teams having priority. The Chicago Bears have the first claim, followed by the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals. Unclaimed players become free agents eligible to sign with practice squads.
