D.J. Williams (Washington Redskins): Williams was signed by the Redskins after losing 2 of their starting tight ends to season ending injuries. Williams should be in line for a lot of work these next few preseason games.

David Porter/George Farmer (Dallas Cowboys): The Cowboys have released George Farmer as he has been very quiet at camp and turned no heads. Porter is was recently cut by the Broncos and should be significant upgrade. Jason Garrett had this to say about Farmer's release, "We're always trying to upgrade, you're always trying to make your team better. You guys have heard me say this a lot. But the landscape of personnel, you're always looking at it, whether it's the draft, free agency and it's 365 days out of the year."

Brandon Meriweather (New York Giants): Meriweather has been added to the Giants roster after they have suffered major injuries in the secondary. Landon Collins has suffered an MCL sprain which should keep him out for some time, while presumed starter Mykkele Thompson suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the 2015 season.

Ben Malena (Dallas Cowboys): Malena has been added to the Cowboys after all of the injuries they have suffered at running back.

Michael Hill (Dallas Cowboys): Hill has been added to the Cowboys after being hit with a ton of preseason running back injuries.
