McFarland was part of a large roster shuffling ahead of Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. His release helped make way for defensive replacements, the team signing OLB Kyron Johnson off the practice squad to the 53-man roster after using up all three of his elevations. The team also activated S Elijah Riley off injured reserve, though he essentially replaced Damontae Kazee, suspended for the rest of the regular season.
