  • Chiefs' Charles Omenihu: Practices in full Tuesday

    Omenihu (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Tuesday was the first time Omenihu logged a full practice since being designated to return from the Chiefs' PUP list Nov. 13. The Chiefs waived backup defensive end Cameron Thomas on Tuesday, indicating that Omenihu is on track to make his 2024 regular-season debut Friday against the Raiders. Omenihu is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered during last season's AFC Championship Game against the Ravens.

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: In jeopardy of missing Week 13

    Raymond (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.

    Raymond suffered a foot injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts. Head coach Dan Campbell relayed Tuesday that he doesn't feel good about Raymond's chances of playing Thursday against the Bears, and the team is waiting on a second opinion for the 30-year-old wideout's foot injury, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Raymond has served as the Lions' primary punt returner this season and has registered 390 punt return yards and one touchdown while adding 16 catches (on 21 targets) for 204 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Khalil Dorsey and Craig Reynolds would be the top candidates to take over punt return duties should Raymond be sidelined.

  • D.J. Reader DE | DET

    Lions' DJ Reader: Logs full estimated practice

    Reader (illness) was listed as a full practice participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

    Reader was under the weather Monday, which caused him to be listed as a DNP. However, he was able to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough without limitations and should be good to go against the Bears on Thursday. In the seven regular-season games since the Lions' Week 5 bye, Reader has logged 11 tackles (seven solo).

  • Romeo Doubs WR | GB

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Sits out practice Tuesday

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Doubs (concussion) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Doubs remains in NFL's five-step concussion protocol and hasn't seemingly taken any steps forward in his recovery from the brain injury he sustained in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers. With just one more practice this week to prove his health before the Packers host the Dolphins on Thursday, Doubs looks to be trending toward missing his second game of the season. The wideout previously sat out a Week 5 win over the Rams due to a team-imposed suspension.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Opens week with full practice

    Pacheco (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Pacheco had his 21-day evaluation window opened in Week 11, but Tuesday's practice marked the first time he was a full participant since he fractured his right ankle Sept. 15 and required surgery. Assuming he can avoid any setbacks over the next two days of practice, Pacheco will likely be activated from injured reserve and make his return to action Friday against the Raiders. He should immediately settle back in Kansas City's starting running back ahead of Kareem Hunt, though Pacheco could be in store for a lighter workload Friday in what would be his first game since Week 2.

  • Azeez Ojulari LB | NYG

    Giants' Azeez Ojulari: Set to go on injured reserve

    Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the Giants are planning on placing Ojulari (toe) on injured reserve.

    Ojulari suffered a toe injury during the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. The injury isn't severe enough to require surgery, but the 24-year-old linebacker will be sidelined for multiple weeks and will wear a walking boot to aid in the healing process. Should he be placed on injured reserve before Thursday's game against the Cowboys, the earliest Ojulari would be allowed to return from IR would be Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 29. Patrick Johnson will be the Giants' rotational outside linebacker behind starters Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux due to Ojulari's injury.

  • Charles Harris LB | PHI

    Eagles' Charles Harris: Claimed by Philly

    The Eagles claimed Harris off waivers from the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Harris was cut by Carolina on Monday. The Eagles lost Brandon Graham to a season-ending torn triceps in Sunday night's win over the Rams, so Harris makes sense as a depth piece. Prior to his ouster, Harris recorded 21 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, for Carolina.

  • Jamin Davis LB | MIN

    Vikings' Jamin Davis: Headed to Minnesota

    The Vikings signed Davis off the Packers' practice squad Tuesday.

    After being cut by the Commanders on Oct. 22, Davis managed to catch on with the Packers' practice squad Oct. 29, though he hasn't been elevated to Green Bay's active roster. Adding Davis to the 53-man roster gives the Vikings much-needed depth at inside linebacker after Ivan Pace (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. While Pace is sidelined, Davis and Brian Asamoah will serve as Minnesota's rotational inside linebackers behind starters Blake Cashman and Kamu Grugier-Hill.

  • Ivan Pace Jr. LB | MIN

    Vikings' Ivan Pace: Placed on injured reserve

    The Vikings placed Pace (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Pace injured his hamstring during the Vikings' 30-27 overtime win over the Bears, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for multiple weeks. By being placed on IR, Pace will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 17 against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 29 the earliest he can return. Kamu Grugier-Hill -- who played a season-high 45 defensive snaps Sunday and finished with three tackles (two solo) -- will likely be the Vikings' second starting inside linebacker alongside Blake Cashman due to Pace's injury.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Signed off practice squad

    The Commanders signed Rodriguez off their practice squad Tuesday.

    Rodriguez was cut by Washington last week but quickly re-signed with the practice squad. The Commanders are once again dealing with injuries in the backfield, as Brian Robinson is tending to an ankle issue, and Austin Ekeler is in concussion protocol. If neither can play Sunday against the Titans, Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols would handle running back duties.
