Hooper (concussion) did not participate in Monday's walkthrough practice.

Hooper entered concussion protocol following the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he did not record a catch on one target while playing 34 of 61 offensive snaps. Hooper will progress through the league's five-step concussion protocol, which makes it unlikely that he'll be cleared to play in Thursday's AFC East tilt against the Jets. Hooper and Hunter Henry are the only two tight ends on the Patriots' active roster, which makes Thomas Odukoya and C.J. Dippre the top candidates to be elevated from New England's practice squad for Week 11 if Hooper is indeed ruled out.

Bethune recorded 10 tackles (two solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Bethune was questionable for Sunday's game due to a thigh injury, but he managed to play 96 percent of defensive snaps. He also logged double-digit tackles for the fifth straight game. Bethune should continue to be a very valuable IDP option with Fred Warner (ankle) out for the season.

Metellus totaled three tackles (two solo) during the Vikings' 27-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

The sixth-year safety was nursing a foot injury during Week 10 prep, but the issue didn't appear to bother him Sunday as he played every single defensive snap. His three stops matched a season low, and through nine regular-season games he has posted 49 tackles (28 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four pass defenses (two interceptions).

Cashman registered 11 tackles (four solo) during the Vikings' 27-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Cashman led the Vikings in tackles for a third consecutive game while playing every single defensive snap. He has accumulated 40 tackles (18 solo) and one forced fumble in his four games since returning from a hamstring injury.

Kaho (concussion) will not travel with the Commanders to Madrid and has been ruled out for the Commanders' Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins.

Kaho suffered a concussion in the Commanders' Week 10 loss to Detroit. He won't have time to pass the league's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins and thus has been ruled out well in advance of the next game.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Sundell is expected to miss "multiple weeks" due to a knee injury he sustained during Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Sundell sustained the injury during the second quarter of Sunday's game. The injury isn't considered to be of the season-ending variety, but he'll require surgery and could be a candidate for injured reserve. Olu Oluwatimi is expected to take over as the Seahawks' starting center in Sundell's absence, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

Hassanein (pectoral) was signed to the Lions' practice squad Monday.

Hassanein will return to Detroit after reaching an injury settlement with the team in late August. General manager Brad Holmes said at the time of the settlement that he expected the defensive lineman to return to the team and play this season. The rookie was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he'll now have the opportunity to get up to speed and potentially make his NFL debut this year.

Tom (back) is active for Monday's game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom logged limited practices throughout the week. That will be enough for him to suit up for his fifth straight game while serving as the Packers' starting right tackle.

Burks has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a finger injury.

Burks was signed to the Commanders' active roster this past Tuesday and made an impact during Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Lions, when he led Washington with 58 receiving yards on three catches. However, the 2022 first-rounder came out of that contest with a finger injury, which was severe enough for him to undergo surgery Monday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Burks will miss Sunday's game in Spain, but the finger injury isn't considered a long-term issue, meaning he could be cleared to return following the Commanders' Week 12 bye.

Jennings (knee) is listed as limited on Monday's injury report.

Jennings left in the first half of Sunday's eventual win in Tampa Bay due to a knee injury and was ruled out after halftime. He told Karen Guregian of MassLive.com on Monday that he'll "definitely be okay. It's just a little bruise." Fellow RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and TreVeyon Henderson (knee) also were limited to begin Week 11 prep, so the situation bears watching to get a sense of who among the trio will be available Thursday versus the Jets.
