Jones (elbow) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Jones inked a three-year contract extension last week and looks ready to rock for Thursday night's game against the Jets after he was listed as limited Monday. Jones has appeared in all 10 games this season, recording 43 tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, nine pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery. Jones has also returned 15 punts for 234 yards and one touchdown.

Hawkins (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Hawkins was estimated as limited on Monday's practice report, but he's ready to roll for Thursday night's game against the Jets. Hawkins has picked up 38 tackles (28 solo), including 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and one fumble recovery across eight starts this season.

Chaisson (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Chaisson was estimated as limited Monday, but he appears to be ready to roll for Thursday night's divisional clash with the Jets. Chaisson has appeared in nine games this season and has racked up 16 tackles (10 solo), including eight TFLs and 6.5 sacks, 11 QB hits, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery as a disruptive presence on New England's defensive line.

The Cowboys placed Thomas (migraines) on the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Thomas has missed two of the past three games due to migraines, and he'll now miss at least the next four contests. Thomas had started each of the last three games in which he appeared, logging at least 91 percent of the defensive snaps in all of those, so it's a significant loss to the Dallas defense. The Cowboys don't have a single truly healthy safety on the roster, as all five are dealing with some sort of injury.

The Giants signed Davidson to the practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Davidson spent the offseason with the Bills but was cut ahead of Week 1. He'll provide depth at tight end behind Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz and Thomas Fidone.

The Cowboys activated Overshown (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Overshown suffered a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in his knee last December and is closing in on his 2025 season debut with the Cowboys coming out of their Week 10 bye. Overshown should mix in at linebacker alongside Kenneth Murray and trade pickup Logan Wilson.

Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.

The 30-year-old tight end has 78 career regular-season games under his belt and has posted a 115-1,207-5 receiving line across those contests. He'll provide some organizational depth at the position behind Sam LaPorta, Brock Wright and Ross Dwelley.

The Bills cut Wilkerson from the practice squad Tuesday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Wilkerson loses his spot on the practice squad to fellow WR Mecole Hardman. Wilkerson has appeared in nine career regular-season games since the start of the 2020 season and has six catches for 60 yards and three touchdowns. He'll look for work elsewhere.

Cracraft signed with the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday.

The veteran wideout spent two weeks with Washington over the summer but was cut ahead of Week 1. He'll provide experienced organizational depth for the Commanders.

The Commanders signed Jones off the practice squad Tuesday.

Undrafted out of UCF earlier this year, Jones failed to make the Commanders' 53-man roster out of training camp. His next regular-season appearance will be his first in the NFL.
