What happened: A 2028 seventh-round pick secured Joshua Ezeudu. Kellen Diesch's roster stay lasted one week.

By the numbers: Ezeudu has appeared in 33 NFL games with 10 starts. He missed the entire 2025 season with a calf injury.

What to watch: Ezeudu's place in the guard rotation and on the final 53-man roster are next to watch.
