Minor NFL Transactions: 1/5/26

January 5, 2026 by Pro Football Rumors

Today’s minor moves:

Cincinnati Bengals

  • Extended: DE Isaiah Foskey, LB Joe Giles-Harris, TE Cam Grandy, LB Shaka Heyward, S PJ Jules, WR Mitchell Tinsley

Denver Broncos

  • Signed from practice squad: QB Sam Ehlinger
  • Waived: OT Geron Christian, TE Marcedes Lewis

Detroit Lions

  • Extended: OL Michael Niese, RB Jacob Saylors, CB Nick Whiteside

Indianapolis Colts

  • Extended: LB Austin Ajiake
  • Claimed off waivers (from Buccaneers): LB John Bullock

Los Angeles Rams

  • Signed from practice squad: DE Larrell Murchison

Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Waived: CB Tre Flowers

San Francisco 49ers

  • Practice window opened: WR Jacob Cowing

Each of the players who were extended today received deals that last through the 2026 campaign. These contracts differ from reserve/futures contracts, which don’t count towards the team’s active list until after the Super Bowl.

The Bengals were especially active with these extensions today, handing out deals to a handful of players who could be in line for larger roles next season. Journeyman Joe Giles-Harris got into a career-high 10 games for Cincinnati this season, compiling 27 tackles while serving as a key special teamer. Shaka Heyward (16 tackles) and PJ Jules (18 tackles) saw similar roles for the 2025 Bengals. Mitchell Tinsley got some run on the Cincy offense this season, hauling in eight catches for 116 yards in 17 games.
