The Steelers did not activate Howard (hand) from injured reserve, and he has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, per the NFL's transaction report.

Howard continues to recover from a fractured right hand that he sustained during training camp in early August. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 22, and if he's not activated from IR before the end of that time frame, he would be forced to miss the rest of the 2025 season. Howard's next opportunity to be activated from IR is ahead of the Steelers' Week 11 clash against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.

White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.

White has now been elevated for a second consecutive week, meaning he has one more elevation before he will need to be signed to the active roster to suit up. The rookie seventh-round pick will have a better shot to contribute to the offense and special teams units behind wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cody White if Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and Tory Horton (groin/shin) are unable to go.

White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.

White has now been elevated for a second consecutive week, meaning he has one more elevation before he will need to be signed to the active roster to suit up. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for a 60-yard touchdown in this past Sunday's win over the Commanders, and he will once again be used to fill some holes caused by injuries in the Seahawks' corps. With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) questionable, Tory Horton (groin/shin) doubtful, Jake Bobo (calf) out and Dareke Young (quadriceps) on injured reserve, White will likely have to be a meaningful contributor for the Seahawks offense alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and new trade acquisition Rashid Shaheed.

The Giants placed Muasau (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Muasau was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears due to an ankle injury he sustained against the 49ers in Week 9. His placement on IR means he'll be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 15 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 14 the earliest he can return. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is in line to start at inside linebacker alongside Bobby Okereke due to Muasau and Micah McFadden (foot) both being on IR.

Gould (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Gould failed to practice this week ahead of Sunday morning's game against Atlanta in Germany. With Gould out, Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin will handle third and fourth wideout duties behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

The 49ers placed Williams (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

Williams suffered a torn ACL in last Sunday's win over the Giants and will miss the remainder of the season. He joins a laundry list of 49ers on the team's injured-reserve list. The 11th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Williams wraps up his rookie season with 20 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery across nine appearances, all starts. San Francisco will lean on Bryce Huff, Keion White (groin), Sam Okuayinonu, Robert Beal and Clelin Ferrell at defensive end moving forward.

Young (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Young injured his quad in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans, and even with a Week 8 bye, he was unable to suit up for the Week 9 showdown with the Commanders. Now placed on injured reserve, Young will be required to miss at least the next four games, with Week 14 against the Falcons constituting his earliest possible return date. In the absence of Young, an already injured wide receiver corps will likely see more snaps given to elevated receivers Cody White and Ricky White.

Rodriguez (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game versus Washington.

Rodriguez remains on the reserve/PUP list after he wasn't activated ahead of Sunday's Week 10 contest. He'll have to wait at least one more week to make his season debut after Rodriguez suffered a torn ACL in Week 13 of last season.

The Giants placed Collins (neck) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Collins injured his neck during the Giants' Week 9 loss to the 49ers. He was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears after logging a trio of DNPs during Week 10 prep, but his placement on IR means he'll be required to miss at least the next four games. Collins is eligible to be activated from injured reserve in Week 15 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 14.

The Giants elevated McCloud from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

McCloud will be elevated to the Giants' active roster for a second consecutive week and will be available to play Sunday against the Bears. He was elevated for the Giants' Week 9 loss to the 49ers, and although he logged just one catch for five yards, his 52 offensive snaps were second most among wide receivers behind Wan'Dale Robinson (57) and ahead of Darius Slayton (51).
