Smith-Njigba (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

The Seahawks did not practice Tuesday for a second straight day, and as was the case Monday, Smith-Njigba was estimated as a limited participant. He will have one more day to clear the injury report before Seattle officially reveals his status for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Bateman caught five of six passes for 62 yards during the Ravens' 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Bateman ended up leading the Ravens in receiving yards while finishing second in catches and targets to Zay Flowers (eight catches on nine targets). Bateman played a crucial role in Baltimore's come-from-behind victory, with the veteran wide receiver logging catches of 11, seven and 20 yards late in the fourth quarter (all for first downs), with the drive ending on a seven-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Huntley to Devontez Walker. Bateman has a 16-233-1 receiving line on 20 targets over his last four games, but his role on offense would likely decrease once rookie third-round wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) returns from injured reserve, which could happen as soon as Week 7 against the Browns on Oct. 18.

Raymond caught three of four passes for six yards and logged one carry for minus-two yards during the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also returned one punt for nine yards.

Sunday's NFC North was an offensive struggle for the Bears, with head coach Ben Johnson opting to bench Tyson Bagent late in the third quarter after the latter threw his second interception of the contest. Two of Raymond's four touches resulted in negative yards, and the veteran wide receiver has logged six receiving yards in each of his last two games after producing a 19-214-1 receiving line (21 targets) through Chicago's first three games of the regular season. He's reverted to the WR3 role behind Luther Burden and Rome Odunze, but Raymond and the other Bears pass catchers would all have their scoring floors boosted if Caleb Williams (hamstring) is cleared to return for Week 7 against the Falcons this Sunday.

Coleman caught a seven-yard touchdown pass (on two targets) during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday.

It was a statistically quiet night for Coleman despite the fact that DJ Moore (shoulder) was inactive, although it's worth noting that Josh Allen attempted only 19 passes (12 completions) during Monday's overtime win. Coleman's first target was late in the second quarter and essentially an arm punt by Allen, with the ball intercepted by Jaylen Watson at midfield. Coleman's catches of 17 and seven yards in the third quarter were both negated by offensive penalties, but the third-year pro was wide open on a seven-yard touchdown pass after two Rams defensive backs collided with each other. Coleman's 45 offensive snaps led all Bills wide receivers, and he has a 15-224-2 receiving line on 18 targets through five regular-season games. The Bills will stay on the road for Week 7 against the Raiders on Sunday, and Coleman's role on offense would shrink if Moore is cleared to return for that contest.

The Texans released Sobkowicz from the practice squad Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Sobkowicz was signed to the Texans' practice squad on Sept. 1 after going undrafted in 2026. The former Redbird will presumably look to continue his career with another NFL team, though he likely has a way to go before making a regular-season appearance.

The Chargers designated Lambert-Smith (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.

The transaction opens up a 21-day window wherein Lambert-Smith can be evaluated in practice before the Chargers would need to add him to the 53-man roster. If Lambert-Smith is able to turn in multiple full practices in Week 6, he would stand a decent chance of being activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game in Kansas City. The Chargers could have a need for the 24-year-old Lambert-Smith to absorb some snaps at receiver after all of Ladd McConkey (foot), Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) sat out this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos, while Tre' Harris (hamstring) exited the game early.

Miller was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

Miller appeared in five games for Miami in 2026. While the 26-year-old caught just three passes (four targets) for 92 yards, he scored a touchdown in the Week 2 loss to the 49ers.

Charles (knee) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Charles was acquired from the Jets during the offseason but hasn't played a snap for Seattle because of a knee injury. However, with his removal from the IR, he is expected to make his debut with the Seahawks on Thursday versus Denver and anticipated to hold a prominent role on special teams. To make room for Charles, Velus Jones was released.

Guillory was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday.

With Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) anticipated to return soon, Chris Moore was released. However, with Moore expected to sign with the practice squad, Guillory will now hunt for a new team.

Moore was released by the Ravens on Tuesday.

Moore appeared in four games for the Ravens this season, amassing three grabs (six targets) for 63 yards and one touchdown. While the 33-year-old was released Tuesday, presumably to make room for the impending return of rookie Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist), he is expected to be signed to Baltimore's practice squad, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
