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.

The Saints elevated Tillman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

It is Tillman's first elevation from the practice squad this season, and the fourth-year pro could operate as the Saints' WR4 against the Vikings on Sunday if rookie sixth-rounder Barion Brown (thigh) is unable to play. Tillman caught 21 passes (on 39 targets) for 270 yards and two touchdowns across 13 regular-season games with the Browns in 2025, but he was cut by Cleveland at the end of training camp in late August.

The Giants placed Golston (neck) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Golston was injured in last Sunday's win over the Cardinals and is facing an extended absence that could extend beyond the minimum four games. Darius Alexander and Bobby Jamison-Travis will be in line for increased snaps on the defensive line for New York.

The 49ers elevated Stoll from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The addition of Stoll gives the 49ers extra depth at tight end behind George Kittle, Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis. Stoll appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Saints in 2025, contributing on both offense and special teams and finishing with six catches on 11 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown.
