The Bears placed Odeyingbo (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Odeyingbo sustained an Achilles injury during the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday. The injury is severe enough for the 2021 second-rounder to be sidelined for the rest of the season, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 2026 campaign. With Odeyingbo done for the year, the Bears solidified their depth on the defensive line by acquiring Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-round pick via trade from the Browns on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

The Commanders placed Lattimore (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Lattimore was diagnosed with a torn ACL following Sunday night's loss to the Seahawks. That ended his season, and now this move makes that official while also freeing up a roster spot for the Commanders.

New England released Ward from its practice squad Tuesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Patriots signed wide receiver Brenden Rice to their practice squad. Ward's stint with the team lasted just one week, and now he'll have to start seeking another opportunity elsewhere.

Detroit released Yeboah (knee) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday.

Yeboah was placed on injured reserve in early August, which would have ended his season had he not reached this settlement. He'll now be free to sign elsewhere and potentially suit up if healthy.

The Falcons cut Sauls from the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

The Falcons also released Parker Romo while signing Zane Gonzalez to the active roster, with the latter set to serve as the team's placekicker moving forward, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Sauls joined the Falcons' practice squad in late September after spending the offseason with the Steelers, though he wasn't able to beat out veteran Chris Boswell for a spot on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Sauls -- an undrafted rookie out of Pittsburgh -- could get another opportunity with a team looking to bring in a placekicker for a kicking competition or as an injury replacement.

Philadelphia released Marshall from its practice squad Tuesday.

Marshall signed with the Eagles' practice squad prior to Week 1, but now he's on his way out after Week 9. He'll become a free agent, and he'll probably have to look for his next opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.

Philadelphia designated Smith (triceps) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday.

Smith was originally placed on injured reserve with a lingering triceps injury after Week 3 versus the Rams, but it now appears he's on track to returning to the field soon. The Eagles will have 21 days to officially activate Smith before they would be required to keep him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

The Panthers signed Dallas to the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

Dallas was released from the Panthers' active roster Saturday, but the 2020 fourth-rounder has opted to stay in Carolina as a member of the team's practice squad. He would be a top candidate to be elevated to the Panthers' 53-man roster if Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard or Trevor Etienne were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension. Dallas played for the Panthers in Weeks 5 and 6 and accumulated 141 kick return yards.

The Panthers cut Hooker from the practice squad Tuesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

Hooker joined the Panthers' practice squad in late August after being waived by the Lions at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the Panthers' active roster for their Week 8 clash against the Bills to serve as Andy Dalton's backup due to Bryce Young being sidelined with an ankle injury. With Young fully healthy and Dalton and Mike White also on the active roster, the Panthers are no longer in need of Hooker's services, but the 2023 third-rounder should garner interest from teams looking to add a scout team quarterback.

Washington signed Burks to its active roster Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Commanders are dealing with injuries to multiple notable contributors at wide receiver, so it's not a huge surprise to see them bring up reinforcements at the position. Burks logged 32 offensive snaps in his first game with Washington in Week 9, bringing in his only target for 14 yards.
