The Washington Redskins released Ryan Grant on Tuesday.

The Redskins have signed Keiland Williams to replace Grant in the backfield.

The San Diego Chargers placed Nate Kaeding on injured reserve with a relatively minor groin injury.

Kaeding must be released by the Chargers once he passes a physical.

Kaeding is the NFL's most accurate kicker of all time with an 87.0-percent career conversion rate in the regular season.

The Chargers have also carried Nick Novak over the past three games, but could no longer afford to have two kickers on their roster.

The Chicago Bears have signed tight end Brody Eldridge to a one-year contract and waived running back Kahlil Bell.

The 6-5, 265-pound Eldridge has started 16 of 27 contests over two seasons (2010-11) with the Colts, recording 14 receptions for 84 yards (6.0 ypr) after being selected by Indianapolis in the fifth round (162nd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma.

Bell appeared in two games for the Bears this season and had 32 rushing yards on 12 carries (2.7 ypc) along with an 11-yard reception.

The Texans have waived quarterback John Beck to make room for safety Troy Nolan.

With Quintin Demps injured, Nolan was needed for the roster.

The Miami Dolphins signed Jabar Gaffney while cutting Legedu Naanee.

Naanee had one catch for 19 yards in four games, while fumbling away that catch against the Cardinals.

Tight end Dedrick Epps was waived by the New York Jets on Monday with a knee injury.

The move was made to create a roster spot for cornerback Aaron Berry.

With Epps waived, the Jets may be close to getting Dustin Keller back from a hamstring injury.
