Kyu Blu Kelly CB | LV
Raiders' Kyu Blu Kelly: Moved to IR
The Raiders placed Kelly (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Kelly was carted off the field during last Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos. The cornerback suffered a severe knee injury in the first quarter of the game and was unable to return. Darien Porter will likely finish the season at outside cornerback opposite Eric Stokes in Kelly's absence.

Javon Baker WR | SF
Javon Baker: Signing with San Francisco
The 49ers signed Baker to the practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The 49ers will be the third practice squad Baker has visited this season after stops at both the Patriots and Eagles facilities. The wide receiver has yet to play in a game this season, but at 23 years old, he has a lot of potential as a depth wide receiver for what seems like a perennially banged-up 49ers offense.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Limited by destructive defense
Allen caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in the 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles on Monday.
The veteran led all Charger wideouts in receiving yards Monday, as quarterback Justin Herbert was under constant duress and got sacked seven times. Los Angeles' offensive line issues make it difficult for any pass catcher to maintain consistent fantasy value week to week, and that will likely be a problem in Week 15 as well against a feisty Kansas City defense.

Joel Wilson TE | TEN
Joel Wilson: Moved to injured list
The Titans placed Wilson (undisclosed) on the team's practice squad/injured list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Wilson will now be ineligible for elevation to the active roster for the final four games of the season. In a corresponding move, the Titans signed free agent tight end Cole Turner to replace Wilson as an eligible depth tight end on the practice squad.

Cole Turner TE | WAS
Cole Turner: Signs with Tennessee practice squad
The Titans signed Turner to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The signing marks Turner's first contract of the regular season after he was waived by the Commanders on Aug. 26. The tight end will be a reserve piece for the Titans, being available for elevation to the active roster behind starters Gunnar Helm, Chig Okonkwo and David Martin-Robinson.

Art Green CB | NYG
Giants' Art Green: Starting return from IR
The Giants officially designated Green (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Green's 21-day practice window is now open, and if the Giants do not move him to the active roster in that span, he will need to remain on IR the rest of the season. The cornerback was unable to return to the Week 8 loss to the Eagles after suffering a hamstring injury on a special teams play. Green played 166 special teams snaps through eight games this season, logging six tackles (three solo) before succumbing to a hamstring injury. His return would give the Giants more depth on special teams as they close out the season.

Andrus Peat G | PIT
Steelers' Andrus Peat: Questionable with concussion
Peat (concussion) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Peat suffered a concussion against the Ravens in Week 14 and was unable to return to the game. The starting left tackle has entered the league's concussion protocol and will need to clear the five steps the league has in place to have a chance to suit up for Monday's game. The good news is that the long week gives the 11-year veteran a Saturday practice, maximizing his recovery potential before the game.

Calvin Anderson OT | PIT
Steelers' Calvin Anderson: Ruled out for Week 15
Anderson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Anderson has been available for just one game this season and will miss yet another contest in Week 15. As the lead depth option behind starting tackles Andrus Peat and Troy Fautanu, the 29-year-old cannot stay on the field as he battles a persistent knee injury. This absence may be more significant, as Peat (concussion) is also questionable for Monday's game.

Joshua Ezeudu G | NYG
Giants' Joshua Ezeudu: Seems ready to return
The Giants utilized a return designation for Ezeudu (calf) Aug. 27, and he seems ready to return to the practice field, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Absent with an undisclosed injury all season, Ezeudu is revealed to have worked his way back from a calf injury that had plagued him since late August. James Hudson has operated the whole year as the top reserve option at left tackle behind Andrew Thomas. The health and availability of Ezeudu could add further depth to the Giants' offensive line situation.

Darius Muasau LB | NYG
Giants' Darius Muasau: Designated to return from IR
The Giants officially designated Muasau (ankle) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Muasau's 21-day practice window is now open, and if the Giants do not move him to the active roster in that span, he will need to remain on IR the rest of the season. The linebacker suffered an ankle injury in the Giants' Week 9 loss to the 49ers, leaving Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles with more snaps at inside linebacker. The 2024 sixth-round pick could return as early as Week 15 against the Commanders.
