What happened: The practice squad swap adds Quez Watkins at receiver and opens the spot by moving on from Elijah Culp at cornerback. Culp, a rookie out of James Madison, signed Sept. 29.

Why it matters: Practice-squad churn keeps receiver depth intact without using an active-roster spot. Cycling the cornerback opening preserves flexibility for future developmental additions.

What to watch: Watch whether Watkins earns a game-day elevation and how the open cornerback practice-squad spot is filled.
