Weekly roster moves: Istanbul Rams swap two American import players and more
The 0-2 Istanbul Rams have released four players, have placed American defensive back Jamarii Milliken on injured reserve, and have signed two new American football import players to their roster!
Some teams stand at 2-0 at the top of their conference. Others have to adjust with a losing record to climb back up the conference rankings.
The Barcelona Dragons have released American defensive back Shawn Wilson Jr. To fill the open American import spot, the Spanish franchise has signed Jarius Denzel Moll to suit up for the Dragons starting this week!
The Dragons have also signed the homegrown player Josep Tricas Gonzales to their roster.
The Berlin Thunder have released French linebacker Rayan Khefif due to an injury. However, the German franchise has already found a replacement in former CFL linebacker David Izinyon who has signed with the team.
The Cologne Centurions have signed German player Nikodem Dawid Hernik to their roster.
Note: With the release of American running back Tre Kings last week, the German franchise still has one American import spot open on offense.
The Frankfurt Galaxy have lost American running back Gennadiy Adams and offensive lineman Lars Hampel for the remainder of the season due to injuries. They have also released French defensive lineman Vincent Buffet.
However, the Galaxy were quick to fill those free roster spots. Former Wroclaw Panthers and CFL defensive lineman Karlis Brauns will play for the Galaxy starting this week. The reigning champion has also singed German player Calvin Schuld to their roster.
