What happened: The transaction update listed Ricky Barber twice: he was signed to the practice squad and then elevated for immediate availability. Ale Kaho was also elevated from the practice squad, putting both players into the short-term plan.

Why it matters: A same-day sign and elevation at defensive tackle reads like a staff responding to an immediate need, not just filling out depth on paper. Kaho's move matters, but Barber's path suggests the more direct chance to carve out snaps right away.
