Higgins (knee) is expected to be sidelined for some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Higgins suffered a knee injury in the team's 27-19 win over the Vikings on Sunday, but it's not expected to be a season-ending issue for the linebacker. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the injury Monday, and it's unclear exactly how long Higgins is expected to be sidelined. In the meantime, his absence doesn't carry an impact defensively, considering Higgins hasn't logged a snap from scrimmage this season.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that Reed (thumb) underwent wrist surgery Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Reed landed on injured reserve Saturday, and after Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals, the veteran defensive lineman will have to miss at least three more games before being eligible to play again. Mike Morris and Brandon Pili will continue to see more defensive snaps for as long as Reed is sidelined.

Havrisik (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Havrisik is inactive for a third straight game with Brandon McManus (quadriceps) cleared for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. Should McManus make it through the matchup healthy, Havrisik could lose his roster spot.

Thornhill was waived by the Steelers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Thornhill has played in all nine contests with Pittsburgh this season, recording 38 total tackles (23 solo) and a pass defensed. The 30-year-old played sparingly in the last two contests though, as Jalen Ramsey has taken over as the team's starting free safety. Thornhill will now be subject to waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he'll enter free agency.

Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback against the Packers on Monday.

Howell is restricted from entering Monday's game unless Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are both removed due to injury, illness or ejection. Howell has not appeared in a single regular-season game in 2025.

Boutte (hamstring) was listed as limited on Monday's injury report.

Boutte didn't practice during Week 10 prep due to a hamstring injury and then was inactive this past Sunday at Tampa Bay. His listed activity level Monday thus is a positive sign ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets, but he'll have two more chances to prove the health of his hamstring before then.

Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Packers.

Dillon will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game while the Eagles go with three active running backs in Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley. Dillon's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Lions on Sunday.

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

Williams was limited in practice throughout the week, but his two partial sessions Friday and Saturday will be enough for him to suit up. Williams is likely to contribute primarily as a kick returner, though he could earn a couple of targets.

Smith (triceps) is active for Monday's game against the Packers.

The Eagles activated Smith from injured reserve earlier in the day, and the third-year pro has officially been cleared to return from a five-game absence. He posted 10 tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble in three games before suffering a triceps injury.

Hardman was signed to the Bills' practice squad Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Hardman was cut from the Packers' practice squad in late September, and he will now get another shot with Buffalo. The wide receiver will look to impress at practice in order to potentially earn an elevation to the active roster down the road this season.
