New Orleans placed McCoy (biceps) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.

The move comes as no surprise, as it was already known McCoy would miss the remainder of the season after he tore his biceps during Sunday's game at Chicago. Luke Fortner stepped in at center for the Saints after McCoy went down in Week 7, but the team could at some point opt to slide over Cesar Ruiz if Fortner proves to be a significant downgrade.

Greenlaw's one-game suspension was upheld Tuesday, and he will be sidelined for the Broncos' Week 8 home tilt against the Cowboys on Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The NFL handed Greenlaw a one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct due to his actions following the Broncos' 33-32 win over the Giants on Sunday, when he verbally threatened a game official. With Greenlaw sidelined and Drew Sanders (foot) and Garret Wallow (hamstring) both on injured reserve, undrafted rookie Karene Reid will serve as the Broncos' top depth option at inside linebacker in addition to having his usual duties on special teams for Week 8. Greenlaw's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Texans on Nov. 2.

The Cowboys placed Keegan (neck) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Keegan has appeared in two games this season, logging 12 snaps on special teams. He'll miss at least the next four contests.

Branch's suspension has been lifted after he sat out Week 7, per the NFL's transactions log.

Branch was forced to miss Monday's game versus the Buccaneers due to a one-game suspension, but he has the okay to return to action now that the suspension was served. He should fill right back in as Detroit's top safety in Week 9 versus the Vikings.

TeSlaa failed to reel in his only target in Monday night's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

TeSlaa played just nine offensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 1, and he failed to bring in a potential 15-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff in the first quarter. The wide receiver remains the No. 4 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond heading into the team's Week 8 bye. TeSlaa has caught three of six targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns over seven contests so far this year.

The Saints signed Jones from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

Jones was on New Orleans' active roster for the first five weeks of the campaign before being waived Oct. 7. He then signed to the team's practice squad, and he'll now return to the active roster in the wake of Kendre Miller's season-ending knee injury. When Jones was on the roster earlier in the campaign, he played almost exclusively on special teams, notching just two offensive snaps but racking up 183 kick-return yards. He may get a few more opportunities on offense moving forward but figures to still be third in the RB pecking order behind Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal.

Wright reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transactions log.

Wright was available for the Bucs in Week 7 with Bucky Irving (foot) still sidelined, but there were no offensive snaps left over for him behind Rachaad White (62) and Sean Tucker (7). He could be brought back up to the active roster in Week 8 at New Orleans if Irving sits out again.

Raymond caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay.

Raymond was able to secure his first catches since Week 4, playing 42 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 7. The wide receiver still appears to have the edge on Isaac TeSlaa for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, logging 18 more offensive snaps than the rookie in the contest. Raymond has caught nine of 12 targets for 64 yards over seven games this season.

San Francisco released Swinson from its practice squad Tuesday.

The 49ers added Swinson to their practice squad when regular starting tight end George Kittle went to their injured reserve list after Week 1, and now that Kittle is back in the fold, Swinson is going back to free agency. He'll have to look for his next opportunity with a new team.

Wright caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Wright was able to match his season high in receptions, finishing tied for second on the team with Jahmyr Gibbs, Kalif Raymond, and fellow tight end Sam LaPorta. Wright has now reeled in eight of nine targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns over seven games this season while operating as the clear No. 2 behind LaPorta at tight end in Detroit's offense.
