Watson (toe) did not participate at the Rams' practice Tuesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Watson is dealing with an apparent toe injury, and as a result, he was unable to practice. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice before Thursday night's matchup with the 49ers.

Stoll (undisclosed) worked out with the Titans on Tuesday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Stoll was released by the Browns with an injury settlement Aug. 28, but he now appears to have fully recovered from his undisclosed injury. The tight end will now look to latch on with the squad as the 2026 campaign gets underway.

Rowan was signed to the practice squad with New Orleans on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Rowan was waived by the Broncos on Aug. 29 and he ultimately went unclaimed on the open market. He will now get an opportunity to prove himself with the Saints as an additional depth option for the team at wide receiver ahead of the 2026 campaign.

Minnesota placed Yurosek on injured reserve Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury.

Though the nature of Yurosek's injury isn't known, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune relays that the second-year tight end isn't expected to face a long-term absence. Yurosek will have to miss at least four games as a result of his move to IR, making the Vikings' Oct. 11 game in New Orleans as the earliest date for his potential 2026 debut. The 24-year-old mainly handled a blocking and special-teams role for the Vikings in 2025, recording just two catches for 14 yards on three targets over 12 games.

Ferguson (soreness) was not listed on the injury report the Rams released Tuesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com.

Ferguson carried an injury designation for the past couple weeks due to an undisclosed injury, but his omission from Tuesday's report indicates it's no longer a concern. Ferguson has been generating some buzz in fantasy circles, but all five of the tight ends on the Rams' depth chart head into Week 1 healthy, so it's unclear exactly what sort of target volume he might see.

Okada (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's contest against the Patriots, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Okada was unavailable for practice all week long as a result of a hamstring injury and he will now be forced to miss the regular-season opener. The Seahawks may have to get creative in the secondary with Bud Clark (ankle) already expected to miss multiple months of action.

Fletcher was signed to the Colts' practice squad Tuesday.

Fletcher was cut by the Buccaneers on Aug. 29 after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in May. The tight end will now have an opportunity to operate as an extreme depth option behind Tyler Warren with Indianapolis.

Oliver was cut from the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

Oliver joined Cleveland's practice squad Wednesday, but he will now hit the open market again. Fellow wide receiver Bub Means was added to the practice squad in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Means was signed to Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

Means was cut loose by the Saints on August 29 after spending the first two-plus seasons of his career with the team. The wide receiver was selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by New Orleans and he spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign on injured reserve after suffering a lower-leg injury during the preseason. Means will look to prove himself with Cleveland and earn an elevation to the active roster at some point this fall.

Gordon (calf) is away from the Bears and working with his own trainer to accelerate his recovery, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

Gordon is on injured reserve to open the 2026 campaign, and he'll be required to miss at least four contests as a result. The defensive back is still working his way back from a calf injury that he suffered in May, and the earliest he'll be able to return to action is in Week 5 against the Packers on Oct. 11.
