Milton was elevated from the Bengals' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Georgia product joined Cincinnati's practice squad in late August and has yet to make his NFL debut. Milton provides the Bengals' with much-needed depth at running back, as Samaje Perine (ankle) will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Stewart (knee) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.

Stewart has already missed four games due to an ankle injury and will now be forced to miss at least Cincinnati's next four contests after being placed on IR. The earliest he can return is the Bengals' Week 15 matchup against the Ravens. While Stewart is out, expect Myles Murphy and Cedric Johnson to have expanded roles on Cincinnati's defense.

Adams recorded six total tackles (three solo) during Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Since returning to a starting role in the Jets' Week 10 win over the Browns, Adams has tallied 15 total tackles and one pass defended over just two contests. He's likely to remain one of New York's top tacklers and defensive playmakers while starting alongside rookie Malachi Moore in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

Stephens recorded eight total tackles (five solo) and one pass defended in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

The SMU product tied Jamien Sherwood, Quincy Williams and Jarvis Brownlee for the most total tackles on New York's defense during the Week 11 loss. Stephens has played in all 10 of the Jets' games this season, recording 52 total tackles and a team-leading seven passes defended. He's expected to continue making a difference in the secondary as the season progresses.

Moore tallied three total tackles (all solo) and one pass defended in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

The rookie safety from Alabama posted his lowest tackle total in Thursday's loss since the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Dolphins, a game in which he played only two defensive snaps. Since taking over as the starting strong safety in the Week 6 loss to the Broncos, Moore has recorded 27 total tackles and two passes defended across five contests. He's expected to continue starting alongside Tony Adams in New York's secondary in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

The Rams elevated Mevis from the practice squad Saturday in preparation for him to start versus the Seahawks on Sunday.

Head coach Sean McVay has already confirmed that Mevis will start at home versus Seattle on Sunday, while Joshua Karty will serve as the team's No. 2 kicker. In his first regular-season action of the year, Los Angeles' win over the 49ers in Week 10, Mevis converted all six of his extra-point tries but wasn't tasked with attempting a field goal. After Sunday's game, the Rams will be able to elevate Mevis from the practice squad for just one more contest, after which point he'll need to sign with the team's 53-man roster in order to log any more starts.

Johnson recorded two total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

The 2022 first-round pick from Florida State was the only Jet to get after the quarterback in the Week 11 loss, sacking Drake Maye in the fourth quarter. Johnson has now logged a full sack in back-to-back games and three of his last five. He's tallied 25 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defended over just seven appearances this season. Expect Johnson to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that Thomas (calf) will not play Monday versus the Raiders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Thomas appears to be dealing with a calf injury suffered near the end of the Cowboys' Week 9 game against the Cardinals. The 30-year-old veteran was unable to practice Thursday in any capacity, despite coming off a Week 10 bye. Jay Toia could be in line for an increase in playing time with Thomas out.

Williams sustained a high-ankle sprain in Thursday's 27-14 win over the Jets and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Arnav Sharma of Sports Illustrated reports.

The first-year Patriot suffered a high-ankle sprain on the first drive of Thursday's win, playing just eight defensive snaps before exiting. Williams has been one of New England's most impactful defenders this season, recording 27 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defended over the team's first 11 games. Cory Durden will likely have an expanded role on the Patriots' defensive line while Williams is sidelined.

McDonald tallied one total tackle (none solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Although McDonald tallied just one combined tackle in the Jets' Week 11 loss, he pressured Drake Maye three times. McDonald, a third-year edge rusher from Iowa State, is having another productive season, recording 21 total tackles, including 7.0 sacks (4.0 of which came in the Week 10 win over the Browns), across the Jets' first 10 games. He's expected to remain New York's top pass rusher and continue starting opposite Jermaine Johnson in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.
