The Raiders elevated Myarick from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Brock Bowers (knee) set to miss a couple of weeks as he recovers from meniscus surgery, Myrarick will have a chance to prove his worth on an NFL field. The tight end is set for the No. 3 role behind Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas, likely playing most of his snaps for the Raiders' special teams unit.

Jones (calf) does not have an injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Broncos.

Jones did not participate in Saturday's practice, but it won't change his status for Monday. The defensive tackle was resting due to some tension in his calf, but the veteran player is all set to suit up for Monday's divisional showdown with the Broncos.

Mahomes (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Broncos.

Mahomes was a full participant in all three practices during Week 1 prep, and the 30-year-old quarterback is officially good to go for Monday's season opener. His mobility could still be limited, as he'll be wearing a protective brace on the left knee in which he tore both his ACL and LCL in Week 15 of last season. The brace could restrict his ability to move around the pocket and scramble out of trouble, which could loom large with undrafted rookie Khalil Benson expected to start at left tackle while Josh Simmons (back) sits out.

The Packers elevated Melton from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Melton is all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Vikings as a temporary replacement for Savion Williams (ankle) as he recovers from his injury on IR. Melton played in 16 regular-season games for the Packers in 2025, catching four passes for 107 yards and a touchdown. The wide receiver also played 186 special teams snaps, making him a versatile elevation for the Week 1 divisional showdown.

The Jets have elevated Sanders from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Sanders won the kicking battle over Cade York this summer despite neither instilling confidence in the Jets' coaching staff. The team elected to sign Blake Grupe, who also has not shown enough to start, giving Sanders a chance in Week 1. If Sanders has a strong week, he will likely be elevated once more in Week 2 before the team must decide who will truly hold the starting job throughout the regular season.

The Jets placed Patrick (groin) on injured reserve Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Patrick was ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest after Friday's practice. The wide receiver's groin injury seems to be lingering, so the 32-year-old will spend some time on IR. Patrick will be eligible to return from IR after four games, meaning Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith will likely see a greater share of reserve opportunities with the Jets' wide receiver corps.

Nwangwu (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Nwangwu was designated as doubtful after Friday's practice, so the eventual ruling that he will not suit up for Sunday's contest is not surprising. The depth running back and primary kick returner for the team continues to deal with a back injury he likely suffered during a practice session earlier in the week. With Nwangwu out, wide receiver Isaiah Williams will likely add kick return duties alongside his punt return duties in Sunday's game.

The Cowboys signed Abanikanda from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Abanikanda joined up with the Cowboys' practice squad after being waived by the team Aug. 30. The running back will now get a shot at a depth role on the active roster due to the placement of Malik Davis (hip) on IR. Javonte Williams and Emari Demercado will likely see most of the offensive action, but Abanikanda could acquire a few carries alongside a moderate special teams workload.

The Saints have elevated Donaldson from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Donaldson signed with the Saints' practice squad Sept. 2 after being a casualty of the team's Aug. 30 cuts. The running back will fill in for Audric Estime (thigh) as a reserve option behind Travis Etienne, Alvin Kamara (knee), and Kendre Miller while Estime recovers from his thigh issue on IR.

The Saints have elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Austin signed with the Saints' practice squad Sept. 2 after being waived by the team on cutdown day. The wide receiver will likely see minimal targets, as he is set to be the fifth option. If Austin does see the field, the majority of his snaps will likely occur on special teams.
