Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Saturday that Beebe (ankle) is on track to return for Monday night's matchup against the Cardinals, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The Kansas State product appears set to return in Week 9 after missing the Cowboys' last six games due to an ankle injury. However, he must still be activated to Dallas' active roster in order to suit up Monday night. If active as expected, Beebe will likely operate as the Cowboys' top center.

Washington was waived by the Colts on Saturday.

The Ole Miss product appeared in four games for the Colts this season, recording four total tackles across 62 total snaps (36 on defense, 26 on special teams). Now that Washington has been waived, expect Reuben Lowery and Rodney Thomas to operate as Indianapolis' top reserve safeties.

Muma was cut by the Colts on Saturday.

Muma was a healthy scratch in Indianapolis' Week 8 win over the Titans, so it's no surprise that he was dropped Saturday. The Wyoming product appeared in five games for the Colts prior to being waived, recording five total tackles over 104 total snaps (71 on special teams, 32 on defense).

Dallas was released by the Panthers on Saturday, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

The veteran running back was a healthy scratch in each of the Panthers' last two games, so it's no surprise that he was let go Saturday. Dallas appeared in two games and played 49 total snaps (33 on special teams, 16 on offense) for Carolina this season, recording 141 kick-return yards. He'll likely return to the Panthers' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Zavala (knee) was activated from the injured reserve list Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Zavala logged a full week of practice and is now expected to return for Carolina's Week 9 matchup. Now back at full health, expect the North Carolina State product to operate as the Panthers' top right guard Sunday.

The Chiefs elevated Edwards-Helaire to their active roster Saturday.

The 2020 first-round pick from LSU provides Kansas City with needed depth at running back, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) will be sidelined in the Week 9 matchup against the Bills. Now with the active roster, Edwards-Helaire is likely to play a depth role in the Chiefs' backfield Sunday.

Ogbongbemiga (knee) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

The Oklahoma State product has yet to play this season due to a knee injury, and he'll remain on the injured reserve list for another week. While Ogbongbemiga is sidelined in Week 9, expect Noah Sewell and D'Marco Jackson to operate as the Bears' top reserve linebackers.

The Bears elevated Brown to their active roster Saturday.

The UCLA product's elevation provides the Bears with much-needed depth at running back, as D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) are both dealing with injuries. Expect Brown to play a depth role in Chicago's backfield while also contributing on special teams in the Week 9 matchup against the Bengals.

Lewis (groin) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Lewis was originally listed as questionable after ending the Colts' week of practice with consecutive full sessions. The 30-year-old from Ohio State has appeared in seven games this season, recording seven total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defended. While he's sidelined in Week 9, expect JT Tuimoloau to operate as the Colts' top reserve edge rusher.

The Colts elevated Treadwell to their active roster Saturday.

The Ole Miss product is now in line to join the Colts' active roster for the second time in the last three weeks. In the Week 7 matchup against the Chargers, Treadwell played 12 special-teams snaps and didn't record an offensive stat. Now back with the active roster, he's likely to play a similar role in the Week 9 matchup against the Steelers.
