The Falcons signed Harrison from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Harrison's addition to the active roster gives the Falcons additional depth at inside linebacker after Divine Deablo (forearm) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Harrison appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Colts in 2024, when he mostly played on special teams and logged two solo tackles and one forced fumble.

The Falcons activated Fuller (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Fuller was a full participant in practice all week, and while he's still listed as questionable, the 2020 sixth-rounder is on track to play Sunday. Fuller has missed the last six games due to a knee injury he picked up against the Buccaneers in Week 1, and his return would give the Falcons an additional body on special teams and added depth at safety behind starters Jessie Bates and Xavier Watts.

The Falcons placed Deablo (forearm) on injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

By being placed on IR, Deablo will be forced to sit for at least four games, though his absence will likely be longer while he recovers from a fractured forearm that he sustained in Week 7 against the 49ers. JD Bertrand is expected to fill in at inside linebacker for as long as Deablo is sidelined. Deablo is eligible to be activated from IR as early as Week 12 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

The Falcons elevated Drummond from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Drummond opted to stick around in Atlanta as a member of the practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Week 8 will be his first elevation of the season, and he would give the Falcons an extra body on special teams and depth at wide receiver if Drake London (hip) is not cleared to play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

The Falcons elevated Stick from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

It's the first time this season that Stick will be elevated from the Falcons' practice squad. His elevation comes as the Falcons expect Michael Penix to miss Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a knee contusion, which puts Kirk Cousins in position to make his first start since Week 15 of the 2024 season while Stick serves as the backup. Stick last saw regular-season action in 2023 as a member of the Chargers, when he completed 63.8 percent of his passes for 1,129 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while turning 27 carries into 144 yards and a score across five games (four starts).

The Texans on Saturday elevated Wayne to the active roster for Week 8 against San Francisco.

Wayne will join Houston's active roster, which will be without both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom were ruled out. Wayne is expected to serve as the fifth wideout on the depth chart behind Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and Braxton Berrios.

The Giants elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Humphrey was also elevated each of the past two weeks and played a major role in the Giants' offense, logging 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 6 and 95 percent in Week 7. Darius Slayton (hamstring) is returning for Sunday's game after sitting out each of the past two weeks, so Humphrey will likely take on a lesser role, though he could still be the team's No. 3 WR option behind Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson. Since Humphrey has now been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be active for New York on gameday again beyond this weekend.

The Eagles activated Cooper (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Giants.

Cooper hurt his shoulder in Week 3 against the Rams and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a pair of full practices to end the week, though he's still questionable to play Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, Cooper had a minor role on offense, logging 20 offensive snaps over three games without seeing a target. However, if he's able to suit up Sunday, Cooper could be a bit more involved since top wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out.

The Buccaneers elevated Bazelak from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus New Orleans, Scott Smith of Tampa Bay's official site reports.

Bazelak signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent in May and ended up on the team's practice squad after being waived in late August. While neither of the team's top two quarterbacks -- Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater -- have an injury designation heading into Sunday, Mayfield dealt with a knee issue during the week and Bridgewater missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an issue with his teeth before participating in full Friday. Bazelak could end up being inactive as the emergency third QB for Sunday's clash against the Saints.

Payne (toe) is questionable to play against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

Payne didn't practice at all this week due to a toe injury. He's been deemed questionable to face Kansas City, and head coach Dan Quinn said Saturday, "He is dealing with a toe that's bothered him. So just kind of working through that to get him into that spot but I'll know more over the next day and a half," per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. If Payne isn't able to give it a go Monday, Eddie Goldman could be in line for more snaps at defensive tackle.
