Epps (undisclosed) was designated for return from injured reserve by the Eagles on Tuesday.

Epps was injured in Week 8 and has logged 15 defensive snaps and another 119 on special teams through eight appearances this season.

The Raiders waived Davis on Tuesday.

The move corresponds with the Raiders signing cornerback Greedy Vance to the 53-man roster. Davis was signed to Las Vegas' active roster Nov. 11 and logged three tackles (one solo) in Week 11 against the Cowboys, but he was a healthy inactive in Weeks 12 and 13. Assuming he clears waivers, Davis will look to catch on with a team seeking depth at linebacker.

The Texans waived Tomlinson on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Tomlinson started in seven of the Texans' first eight games of the regular season, but he was a healthy inactive for the last two games. Assuming he clears waivers, the 2015 first-rounder will look to catch on with a team in need of depth on the offensive line.

The Jets waived Cowart (ankle) from injured reserve Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Cowart opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury that he sustained in early August during training camp. He was competing for a starting spot on the Jets' defensive line, but the 2019 fifth-rounder has been let go by the team before having the opportunity to return to practice. It's unclear where Cowart is in his recovery from his injury, but once fully healthy, he would be in position to join a team in need of interior depth on the defensive line.

The Falcons worked out Prather (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Prather was selected in the seventh round of this year's NFL Draft by the Bills but battled a hamstring injury for most of training camp and the preseason, and was eventually cut ahead of Week 1. Now healthy, Prather will try to find work elsewhere.

Joseph has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a knee injury, but the fourth-year safety intends to return in 2025 and seek treatment for his injury during the offseason, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Joseph has not been placed on the Lions' injured reserve despite the prolonged absence. He returned to practice as a limited participant Monday -- his first action since the injury -- but did not participate in Tuesday's session. Joseph faces an uphill battle to be cleared to play against the Cowboys on Thursday, but with more practices under his belt, he could be available for the Lions' Week 15 road tilt against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14.

The Saints cut Wheeler from the practice squad Tuesday.

Wheeler was signed to the practice squad last week. He's never appeared in a regular-season NFL contest.

The Saints waived Austin on Tuesday.

Austin has appeared in three games for New Orleans this season but failed to catch his lone target across 37 offensive snaps. He could be a candidate to return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Sewell (shoulder) did not participate at practice Tuesday.

Just as Sewell was overcoming the ankle issue that was nagging him over the past few weeks, he became a surprise addition to Detroit's injury report with a shoulder problem. He'll probably need to practice in some capacity Wednesday to have a chance to play Thursday versus the Cowboys.

Zylstra (knee) did not participate at practice Tuesday.

It's a somewhat concerning sign for Zylstra, who Detroit just designated for return to practice from its injured reserve list Monday. It's looking increasingly unlikely he'll be able to suit up Thursday versus the Cowboys.
