Brown signed with the Bears' practice squad Monday.

Brown was signed to the active roster nine days ago but was cut ahead of Friday's win over the Eagles in order to make room for some activations from injured reserve. Brown will return to the team to provide organizational backfield depth.

Joseph (knee) returned to practice Monday, getting in a limited session, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Joseph has been sidelined since Week 6 but appears to be nearing a return to action, as the Lions make a push for the postseason. Thomas Harper has been starting at safety in Joseph's absence. Across six games this season, Joseph has recorded 18 tackles (14 solo) and four pass breakups, including three interceptions.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Hendrickson (hip) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bills, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Hendrickson hasn't played since Week 8 and remains week-to-week. The 4-8 Bengals are extreme long shots to make the postseason, so Hendrickson could err on the side of caution and head into the offseason as healthy as possible ahead of a trip to free agency. It's been an injury-riddled 2025 campaign for the soon-to-be 31-year-old, as he's posted 16 tackles (11 solo), including 4.0 sacks, eight total QB hits and one pass breakup across seven appearances.

Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Monday that Wyatt (ankle) will miss the remainder of the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Wyatt suffered a fractured ankle in the Thanksgiving win over the Lions. He'll wrap up the 2025 season with 27 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, seven total QB hits and two pass breakups across 10 contests. Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson will need to step into larger roles up front on the defensive line.

The Packers opened Lloyd's (hamstring) 21-day window in which to return from injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Lloyd came out of preseason Week 2 in mid-August with hamstring tightness, and when the Packers placed him on IR on cut-down day, they designated him for return at that point, meaning his season debut wouldn't take place until at least Week 6 of the regular season. More than three months later, he's made notable enough progress in his recovery effort, which included a visit to the West Coast about one month ago, to get back on the practice field in an official capacity. The Packers will post their first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, at which point his activity level will become known. Lloyd's first potential chance to rejoin the team's backfield mix is this coming Sunday against the Bears, but he may require a ramp-up period for Green Bay to officially clear him for game action.

Coach Sean McDermott revealed Monday that Bass (left hip/groin) underwent surgery last week and will be sidelined for the rest of the season, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

The Bills placed Bass on IR back on Sept. 5, and Matt Prater has handled the team's kicking duties since then. Bass, who is under contract with Buffalo through 2027, thus will turn his focus to rehabbing his injury with an eye toward being ready ahead of next season.

Morris caught one of two targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 25-3 win against the Titans.

The 26-year-old played just 12 offensive snaps, but it's notable he was active over Hunter Long, who was inactive despite returning as a full practice participant next week. Morris doesn't have any fantasy viability as a reserve tight end for Jacksonville, especially with Brenton Strange now back from his hip injury.

The Jaguars waived Trammell on Monday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

The 27-year-old played a season-high 33 offensive snaps during Sunday's blowout win at Tennessee, but he's now lost his place on the active roster after failing to secure any of his four targets. Trammell was elevated to the active roster from Jacksonville's practice squad in late October and caught three of 10 targets for 46 yards across five games.

Patrick caught his lone target for 11 yards during Sunday's 25-3 win against the Titans.

Patrick played just seven offensive snaps, which ranked fifth among Jacksonville's wideouts in the blowout victory. The 32-year-old played at least 29 offensive snaps in each of the previous three games but was relegated to a depth role Sunday with Brian Thomas (ankle) returning to action. Patrick has caught just eight passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games this year.

Landman recorded eight tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

With another team-leading total in tackles on Sunday, Landman now boasts 106 tackles on the season with five games left to play, leaving him just four shy of the career-best 110 he recorded with Atlanta in 2023. Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals represent his next chance to eclipse his totals from his sophomore campaign in Week 14.
