Josiah Deguara: Returns to practice squad
Deguara reverted to the practice squad with Philadelphia on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Deguara was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams, and he did not log a snap on offense in the contest. The 29-year-old was on the field for 21 snaps with the special-teams unit, failing to record any stats during the game. Deguara can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Eagles' Josiah Deguara: Could see action in Week 4
The Eagles elevated Deguara on Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Deguara signed to Philadelphia's practice squad in mid-September after spending time with the 49ers and Giants during training camp. The Eagles are in need of tight-end depth with Dallas Goedert (knee) ruled out for Week 4 and both Grant Calcaterra (back) and Eli Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) still on IR. However, Philadelphia also elevated veteran Zach Ertz again Saturday, and all of Ertz, Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins figure to be ahead of Deguara in the pecking order.

The Eagles signed Deguara to the practice squad Tuesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
The Giants released Deguara before cutdown day. The tight end has played in 77 career regular-season games, logging 53 receptions for 471 yards and three touchdowns. The 2020 Packers' third-rounder will now get a shot to play for an Eagles team that is searching for additional tight end depth.

Josiah Deguara: Gets released by Giants
The Giants released Deguara on Saturday.
Since his rookie contract with the Packers ran out after the 2023 season, Deguara has split time between the Jaguars and Cardinals the last two years, combining for six catches (on eight targets) for 35 yards and one TD in 27 regular-season appearances. He then joined the 49ers at the start of training camp but was cut Monday before joining the Giants, playing preseason Week 3 and then getting cut again.

Giants' Josiah Deguara: Signs with New York
The Giants signed Deguara to a contract Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
The 49ers released Deguara on Monday. The tight end has quickly found new work and may have a shot to usurp Chris Manhertz's spot on the 53-man roster with a strong showing in Friday's preseason finale against the Jets. Deguara is primarily a special teams player and will need to prove his versatility quickly to manifest any lasting staying power.

49ers' Josiah Deguara: Released by San Francisco
Deguara was released by the 49ers on Monday.
The tight end was let go to open a spot for defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko. Deguara joined the Niners in late July after catching three passes for 21 yards and a score with the Cardinals in 2025. The third-round pick of the Packers in 2020 has played more on special teams than offense in each of the last three seasons.

49ers' Josiah Deguara: Inks deal with Niners
Deguara signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Friday.
Deguara was a third-round pick of the Packers in the 2020 NFL Draft and has played for three different franchises across his six-year career. He appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2025, when he contributed mostly on special teams while logging three catches (on five targets) for 21 yards and a touchdown. Deguara gives the 49ers some extra depth at tight end while George Kittle continues to be sidelined by a torn right Achilles that he suffered in January.

Cardinals' Josiah Deguara: Records rare TD in 2025
Deguara secured three of five targets for 21 yards and one touchdown in 12 regular-season contests in 2025.
Deguara was one of seven Cardinals to record a receiving TD this past season, which marked his first end-zone visit since he was a member of the Packers in 2021. However, he never garnered a snap share greater than 18 percent in any of his appearances and enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, so he may need to prove himself elsewhere after spending the last two years in Jacksonville (2024) and Arizona.

Cardinals' Josiah Deguara: Fails to corral target in Week 16
Deguara was unable to haul in his lone target while playing eight of the Cardinals' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett targeted tight ends on 17 of his 31 pass attempts Sunday, but Trey McBride (4-27-0 receiving line on eight targets) and Elijah Higgins (7-91-0 on eight targets) did the heavy lifting for the position group. Deguara, meanwhile, will continue to function mainly as a blocker and special-teams contributor for Arizona. Through 10 appearances, Deguara has drawn just three targets, turning them into one catch for six yards.

Arizona signed Deguara on Wednesday.
Deguara was cut by the Cardinals on Tuesday, but with the passing of the trade deadline, he'll rejoin the 53-man roster just one day later. He'll serve as a depth tight end and should have a role on special teams for the Cardinals in this Sunday's game in Seattle.

Cardinals' Josiah Deguara: Signed to Cardinals' active roster
The Cardinals signed Deguara from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Deguara's addition to the active roster gives the Cardinals depth at tight end after Travis Vokolek (neck) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. With Vokolek and Tip Reiman (ankle) both on IR, Deguara is slated to serve as Arizona's third-string tight end behind Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins. Deguara played in the Cardinals' Week 2 win against the Panthers, when he logged one tackle while playing 14 snaps on special teams.

Deguara was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Deguara signed with Arizona's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August, but he's now set to join the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Josiah Deguara: Hits the open market
Deguara was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.
Deguara will hit the open market after he compiled four catches for 48 yards over Arizona's three preseason contests. The tight end played in 15 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024, but he may have to settle for a practice squad spot with a new team ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Cardinals' Josiah Deguara: Joins Arizona
Deguara signed with the Cardinals on Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
A 2020 third-round pick of the Packers who spent 2024 with the Jaguars, Deguara has 50 career catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns, including three catches for 14 yards a year ago. He has played on over 800 special-teams snaps over the course of his career, and he could earn a role that way on the Cardinals. Arizona's tight end room is led by Trey McBride, who caught 111 passes for 1,146 yards in 2024, and then Tip Reiman and Elijah Higgins.

Jaguars' Josiah Deguara: Three receptions in 2024
Deguara (shoulder) registered three catches on as many targets for 14 yards across 15 regular-season games in 2024.
Deguara signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Jaguars in March 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Packers. He failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but after opting to stay on the practice squad he eventually was signed to Jacksonville's active roster in late September. Deguara mostly was used on special teams, though he did see a slight uptick in offensive snaps when Evan Engram (shoulder) was sidelined due to injury late in the season. Deguara will explore his options during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.
