The Miami Dolphins added defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. (Murphy High School) to their practice squad, the Atlanta Falcons added linebacker Rashaan Evans (Auburn High School, Alabama) to their practice squad, and the Buffalo Bills added linebacker Nicholas Morrow (Huntsville High School) to their active roster on Tuesday.
Every player returned to a team they had previously played for this season.
Before being cut by the Bills on December 7, Morrow, an eight-year veteran with 105 NFL regular-season games and 58 starts overall, appeared in 11 games for Buffalo.
Before being waived on Saturday, Evans, a seven-year veteran with 87 NFL regular-season games and 68 starts overall, participated in two games for Atlanta.

On October 1, he became a member of the team; on October 12, he was released; on October 21, he re-signed; and on November 1, he was promoted to the active roster.
