The Commanders signed Chosen off the practice squad Tuesday.

Following multiple elevations, Chosen now gets a spot on the 53-man roster in Washington. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) already ruled out for Week 11 against Miami, Chosen should see elevated offensive snaps against his former team.

The Commanders placed Amos (fibula) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Amos suffered a fractured fibula in Sunday's loss to the Lions and will miss at least the next four games, though it's unclear if he'll be able to return to action this season. With Amos joining Marshon Lattimore (knee) on injured reserve, Washington's anemic defense will be dipping deep into their cornerback depth chart moving forward. This is a defense to attack in fantasy.

Williams received a six-game suspension Tuesday for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The undrafted rookie out of LSU had suited up in three of the Buccaneers' first nine games this season, carrying four times for 11 yards. Williams has received most of his playing time on special teams, though he had been active as the team's No. 3 running back behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker over the previous two games while Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) has remained sidelined. With Irving not expected to return to action Week 11 at Buffalo, expect the Buccaneers to elevate one of Owen Wright or Michael Wiley to serve as their No. 3 back in Williams' absence.

The Packers placed Jenkins (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Jenkins was injured in the second quarter of Monday night's loss to the Eagles and has been diagnosed with an ankle fracture. With his placement on injured reserve, Jenkins will be required to miss at least the next four games. It's unclear if Jenkins will be able to return this season. Sean Rhyan replaced Jenkins at center following his exit Monday night.

David supplied nine tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

David paced the Buccaneers in tackles for a second straight game after also setting the pace in the Week 8 win over the Saints before the bye. The veteran linebacker has consistently shaken off a lingering knee issue this season to play up to his usual standards, posting at least six tackles in five straight games and accruing 66 stops (31 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two passes defensed, including one interception and one fumble recovery over nine contests.

The Browns plan on waiting until at least Week 12 to potentially open the 21-day practice window for Watson (Achilles), Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

On Monday, head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Watson was progressing well in his recovery from Jan. 20 surgery and didn't dismiss the possibility of the quarterback could practice this week, but a return to the field will instead be delayed by at least one more week. Given that he hasn't practiced in more than a year, he'll likely need close to the full 21-day window to fully ramp up before the Browns would consider activating him from the PUP list. Despite having been out all season, Watson has attended all meetings and has filled a mentorship role for Cleveland's two rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and backup Shedeur Sanders. The 30-year-old remains under contract with the Browns through next season after inking a five-year, $230 million extension with Cleveland shortly after he was acquired from the Texans in March 2022.

The Panthers signed White to the practice squad Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

White will rejoin the team and serve as organizational quarterback depth behind Bryce Young and Andy Dalton in Carolina.

Payne's one-game suspension was upheld on appeal Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Payne was suspended one game for punching Amon-Ra St. Brown during the Commanders' loss to the Lions on Sunday. With Payne out for Week 11 against the Dolphins in Madrid, look for Eddie Goldman, Jer'Zhan Newton and Sheldon Day to see increased playing time up front on the defensive line.

Durham failed to catch his only target, his first since Week 2, in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Patriots.

Durham saw a drop in snaps to 19 (28 percent) after having played on at least 30 percent of plays in each of the previous four contests. The third-year tight end surprisingly has been a complete nonfactor in the air attack through nine contests after posting a 16-173-2 career line on 21 targets over his first pair of seasons, and even the Buccaneers' perpetually injury-hampered receiving corps has done nothing to expand Durham's involvement beyond his role as a blocker.

Hooper (concussion) isn't in attendance for Tuesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Though the Patriots aren't expected to hold a rigorous practice Tuesday, the fact that Hooper hasn't even been seen working out off to the side suggests he's not likely to suit up Thursday against the Jets. Assuming the veteran tight end is ruled out for the Week 11 contest, the Patriots could have fullback Jack Westover serve as the main backup to starting TE Hunter Henry. New England could also elevate one of Thomas Odukoya or CJ Dippre from the practice squad.
