The Rams cut Winn from their practice squad Tuesday.

Winn spent six days with Los Angeles, but the Rams made a big move on Tuesday to add Carson Wentz as Matthew Stafford's backup. In addition to Winn, the Rams also waived veteran Brett Rypien.

The Cardinals activated Murray (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Murray is closing in on his return from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered Dec. 12 of last season. Over the past two weeks, he was listed as doubtful to play in Week 8 and then questionable to suit up in Week 9, but Arizona elected not to activate him for either game. Murray seems on track to make his season debut Sunday against the Falcons.

The Giants signed Eason to their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

With Daniel Jones (knee) done for the season and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) out until at least Dec. 11, Eason is needed behind rookie Tommy DeVito. Eason has appeared in two NFL games, completing just five of 10 passes for 84 yards and two interceptions with the Colts and Panthers.

Fields (thumb) remained limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

The Bears play the Panthers on Thursday night but have only conducted a pair of walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday to open the practice week. Fields remains day-to-day, and it's unclear if he'll return to face Carolina. If he doesn't make the start, it'll again be rookie Tyson Bagent under center.

Wentz is slated to sign with the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Wentz is expected to slide in as a veteran backup to Matthew Stafford, who missed part of the Rams' Week 8 loss to the Cowboys and all of the team's Week 9 loss to the Packers with a thumb injury. The Rams are hoping that Wentz can provide an upgrade to the overall depth of the position group after Brett Rypien completed just 13 of 28 attempts for 172 yards and an interception while starting in place of the injured Stafford in Week 9. The Rams are on bye Week 10, so Wentz will have added time to get up to speed with the playbook in the event Stafford isn't ready to return for a Week 11 tilt against the Seahawks.

Head coach Mike Vrabel announced Tuesday that Tannehill will be the Titans' backup quarterback behind Will Levis moving forward, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran appears to be ready to return from his ankle injury, but he's lost his starting job to the rookie. Prior to getting hurt in London in Week 6, Tannehill had completed just 62 percent of his throws for 1,128 yards and a meager two touchdowns versus six interceptions. Levis has given the offense life as a more willing downfield passer, and 2023 is the final year of Tannehill's contract, so there's a real chance he's played his last snap for the Titans. Malik Willis will presumably be the emergency third quarterback.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Levis will remain the Titans' starting quarterback moving forward, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.

Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will serve as Levis' backup as soon as he's healthy enough to play, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Levis has put together two straight productive performances in which he completed 41 of 68 passes (60.3 percent) for 500 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while also running eight times for 13 yards. He'll look to keep up the pace Sunday on the road against the Buccaneers' 31st-ranked pass defense (279.4 yards per game).

Wilson completed 33 of 49 passes for 263 yards without a touchdown or interception in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers. He added two rushing attempts for seven yards and fumbled three times, losing two.

Wilson struggled but didn't get any help from the rest of New York's offense, which has produced just three touchdowns in the last four games. He was sacked eight times behind an unsuccessfully rejiggered offensive line, and numerous drops and penalties didn't help matters. While a significant chunk of Wilson's yardage came with the game out of reach in the fourth quarter, he should have at least had a late touchdown, but C.J. Uzomah dropped a ball that hit him in the chest in the end zone. Coming off this hollow season high in passing yards, Wilson will bring a 5:5 TD:INT into a Week 10 road game in Vegas.

Herbert completed just 16 of his 30 pass attempts for 136 yards. He didn't record a touchdown or an interception in Monday's 27-6 win over the Jets.

New York's offense hardly threatened at any point in this contest, so Herbert and the Chargers were content to not risk any big plays. Only Keenan Allen (8-9-77) really did much of anything, and most of that came late in the second half as the team was positioning itself for the merciful dagger to an ugly overall game. Hopefully Week 10's quality matchup against the Lions will yield more production.

Winn was reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Winn was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 9 loss to Green Bay, but he didn't get into the game. The 24-year-old out of UT Martin served as the backup to Brett Rypien in that contest with Matthew Stafford out with an injured thumb. The Rams are on bye this week, but if Stafford still isn't able to play Week 11 versus Seattle, Winn could get another chance to make his NFL debut in that matchup.
