Jackson (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Jackson's practice reps were limited due to a knee injury, and his status for Monday's game may not be officially known until the Bills announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Ed Oliver (knee) has already been ruled out, so DeWayne Carter and Greg Gaines would both be in line for even more defensive snaps if Jackson is not cleared to play.

Watson (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Bills, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Watson will end up missing only one game due to a dislocated shoulder that he sustained against the Broncos in Week 3. Watson will return to his starting role at outside cornerback opposite Trent McDuffie while Josh Wallace reverts to a rotational role.

Landman (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Bills, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Landman had his practice reps limited due to a shoulder issue, but he avoided an injury tag for MNF after logging a full practice Saturday. The fifth-year pro has 28 tackles (13 solo) and one pass defense through the first four games of the regular season.

Lake (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bills, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Lake earned the questionable tag after logging a limited session Saturday, but head coach Sean McVay told reporters after practice that the fifth-year safety is "trending in the right direction" for Monday night's game. Emmanuel Forbes and Josh Wallace would see more defensive snaps in the event that Lake is not cleared to play against Buffalo.

The Seahawks placed Neal (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Neal was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a hamstring injury, which is severe enough for the rookie third-rounder to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As such, Neal will be forced to miss at least four games, so the earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8. He's mostly operated on special teams this season, but his absence will also weaken the Seahawks' depth in the secondary.

Charles (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Charles initially drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a trio of limited practices, but he's not quite fully recovered from a knee injury that caused him to open the season on IR. His next chance to make his 2026 regular-season debut is Thursday against the Broncos.

The Vikings activated Yurosek (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

Yurosek is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but his activation from IR indicates that the Vikings are confident that Yurosek will be available to make his 2026 regular-season debut. The second-year pro opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.

The Vikings elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

The Vikings elevated both Jones and Odell Beckham from the practice squad, giving the team insurance at wide receiver in case one or both of Justin Jefferson (ankle) or Jordan Addison (hamstring) cannot play against the Saints on Sunday. Jones played 14 snaps (three on offense, 11 on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise during the Vikings' Week 4 win over the Dolphins.

Shepherd (illness) is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Shepherd is now in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game due to an illness. Davon Godchaux, Khristian Boyd, Tyree Wilson and Colby Wooden would all be in line for more defensive snaps if Shepherd is not cleared to play against Minnesota.

The Saints waived Austin on Saturday.

Austin was signed to the Saints' active roster Oct. 1 after being elevated from the practice squad in each of the first three games of the regular season. He'll have the opportunity to explore his options if he clears waivers, and Austin should garner interest from teams looking for depth at wide receiver.
