"Cox will give the Packers another pass-rushing option after they lost superstar Micah Parsons to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 15. An undrafted pickup in 2023, Cox impressed last season with five tackles for loss, four sacks, and a forced fumble in just seven games. However, he hasn't factored in this year after suffering a groin injury in the Packers' season-opening loss to the Lions. Now returning from a 13-game absence, Cox could have an opportunity to make an impact down the stretch."
"Vele, a seventh-round pick a year ago, racked up 41 catches, 475 yards, and three touchdowns during a 13-game rookie season in Denver. The Broncos sold high on the 6-foot-5, 210-pounder in late August, shipping him to the Saints for a 2026 fourth-rounder and a 2027 seventh-rounder. Vele, who's now dealing with a shoulder injury, will wrap up his first season in New Orleans with 25 receptions, 293 yards, and two scores in 13 contests."
Multiple NFL teams made minor roster moves including designations, waiver claims, and roster cuts. The Raiders claimed DT Brodric Martin off waivers from the Steelers and waived DE Jahfari Harvey. LB Jalen McLeod was designated for return from IR. The Packers will have Cox available after a 13-game absence following a groin injury; Cox provides pass-rushing depth after Micah Parsons suffered a season-ending ACL tear and posted notable production in 2023. The Saints acquired Vele from Denver for future draft picks; Vele finished the season with modest totals but showed increased production late despite a shoulder injury.
