For those interested, we can keep track of former XFL players in the NFL this season with this thread. Here is how they'll start the season:

Active Roster
QB PJ Walker, Panthers
TE Colin Thompson, Panthers
TE Donald Parham, Chargers
OT Storm Norton, Chargers
CB Elijah Campbell, Dolphins
LS Nick Moore, Ravens
LS Christian Kuntz, Steelers
G Michael Dunn, Browns
QB Taylor Heinicke, Washington
LS Scott Daly, Lions
RB Godwin Igwebuike, Lions

Practice Squad
WR Tanner Gentry, Bills
QB Josh Johnson, Jets
OT Isaiah Williams, Jets
RB Jacques Patrick, Bengals
DT Khalil McKenzie, Ravens
WR Austin Proehl, Chargers
CB Saivion Smith, Broncos
DE Bunmi Rotimi, Washington
DT Gabe Wright, Washington
OT Willie Beavers, Falcons
S Kenny Robinson, Panthers

Also congrats to the XFL alum who won the United Bowl as Garrett Hartley, the former Dragon (who never kicked) who signed with Massachusetts in mid-playoffs, hit the game-winner in OT to beat the Rattlers (and his replacement, Ernesto Lacayo).

Toby Johnson nicked his hamstring in the OT but I'm sure the ring makes up for it

Some changes heading into week two:

OT Isaiah Williams (Jets) was promoted to the active roster
K Matt McCrane was signed to the Cardinals practice squad

Jacques Patrick to SF, Jets release Isaiah Williams

Prior to week three: Williams was re-signed to the Jets' practice squad and elevated for this coming game. Also elevated as a COVID-19 replacement was DT Reggie (Khalil) McKenzie (Ravens).

I have a feeling we're going to get into James Vaughters/Raymond Ventrione territory........by midseason with some of these guys.

Everybody here knows about the Vaughters shuffle/shuttle with the Bears two years ago, Ventrione famously made it an art form over his career.

Prior to week four, DT Gabe Wright was released from Washington's practice squad. Also, I missed TE De'Quan Hampton getting signed by the Seahawks to their practice squad mid-September. He too was released this week.

S Kenny Robinson was a practice squad elevation by the Panthers for today's game.

Jacques Patrick carried twice for 12 yards in his Niner debut

Steve Levy finally gets to call a Donald Parham TD, as all five Renegade games were either late Sat FOX or on Sunday--although I believe the next game would have been Levy/McElroy's

RB Jacques Patrick was released by SF, as was OT Anthony Coyle from Indy's practice squad. S Kenny Robinson was promoted to Carolina's active roster.
