The Vikings claimed De’Angelo Henderson, according to Ian Rapoport.

Henderson was recently waived by the Jets, but Minnesota put in a claim on him after releasing Roc Thomas. The five-foot-seven back totaled nine carries for 32 yards over the past two years with Denver and New York. He will compete for a roster spot and potentially snaps behind Dalvin Cook.

The Jets are signing Ryan Griffin, according to Mike Garafolo.

Griffin caught 24 passes for 305 yards last year in Houston, but was released this offseason. He will have a chance to immediately step in as a contributor for the first month of the season as Chris Herndon serves a four-game suspension, but Griffin probably won’t be a recommended fantasy option.

The Saints placed Javorius Allen on injured reserve.

It’s unclear what Allen is dealing with, but there’s a chance he’s released so he can sign elsewhere if healthy. The former Raven doesn’t need to be held in dynasty leagues right now.

The Raiders waived Chris Warren.

This is a bit of a surprise after Oakland essentially stashed Warren on injured reserve last season after he led the NFL in rushing during the preseason. This move probably came down to either the Raiders being unimpressed with how Warren reported to camp or the team deciding to give him an opportunity to win a bigger role with another team after drafting running back Josh Jacobs in the first round of this year’s draft. Warren doesn’t need to be kept in dynasty leagues at the moment, but he’s worth having on the end of your bench if you have roster space.

Jay Ajayi (knee) has been fully cleared by Dr. James Andrews, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Ajayi tore his ACL last season with Philadelphia and has not received much public interest from other teams as a free agent, but he probably won’t have to wait much longer to find a home after being cleared. In one-and-a-half years with the Eagles, Ajayi rushed 115 times and averaged 5.1 yards per carry. A team that jumps out as a fit is Tampa Bay, but any potential fantasy value will obviously be dependent on the 26-year-old’s new squad. Ajayi may also wait for an injury to hit before signing,

Jake Butt (knee) was held out of training camp practice today.

Coming off his third ACL tear, Butt is going to get normal rest days (like yesterday), but he sat out of practice today because he “didn’t feel right,” according to NFL Network’s James Palmer. Hopefully it’s just taking some time for Butt to get back into the swing of things after his third serious knee injury, but there’s obvious cause for concern. Not at 100% and contending with a first-round rookie in Noah Fant, it’ll likely be difficult for Butt to win a starting role in 2019.

The Ravens are signing Joe Callahan, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

Garafolo says the signing is pending a physical, but it shouldn’t be an issue that holds up the signing. Callahan spent time with a few teams including most notably the Packers, and now he joins Baltimore, where Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman coaches Callahan at Holy Spirit High School in New Jersey, which is a pretty cool story. Making the 53-man roster will obviously be incredibly tough with Lamar Jackson, Robert Griffin III, and Trace McSorley all on the team, but Callahan should get an opportunity to play and put more on film this preseason.
