Notably, Terrell Jennings was not activated.
D’Ernest Johnson, who has on and off the active roster and the practice squad was activated again. The veteran running back is an option as a reserve running back as well as on special teams. He played in seven regular season games with 13 rushing attempts for 25 yards and five kickoff returns for 128 yards.
Defensive end Leonard Taylor was also activated in response to Harold Landry III being unavailable.
Reserve defensive tackle Eric Gregory was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Receiver Trent Sherfield was released from the practice squad.
