Monk (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Monk has been sidelined all season but is now cleared for his return. He's still considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against Arizona, and his status will become official shortly before kickoff.

Hekker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to an illness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The illness is a new issue for Hekker, who is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. The Titans don't have a punter on the practice squad, which means Joey Slye and Brandon Allen may have to handle punting and holding duties, respectively, if Hekker is not cleared to play.

Schlottmann is expected to start at center Sunday against the Broncos, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

John Michael Schmitz (concussion) has been ruled out and won't travel with the team to Denver. That leaves Schlottmann next in line at center. He played 32 snaps after Schmitz departed in Week 6, so Schlottmann should have some chemistry with Jaxson Dart.

The Jets activated Weston (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The undrafted rookie logged a full practice Friday, and his removal from injured reserve indicates that he is on track to make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday. Weston opened the season on IR due to a groin injury.

Golston (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Golston played in both Weeks 5 and 6 after missing time with an injury earlier in the season. It's unclear how serious his neck issue is, but he won't travel with the team to face the Broncos in Week 7. Golston has contributed primarily on special teams.

Haggard (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Haggard sustained a shoulder injury during the Buccaneers' Week 6 win over the 49ers, which prevented him from practicing all week. He'll be sidelined for Monday night's contest, which puts 2024 sixth-rounder Elijah Klein on track to start at left guard for the second time this season.

Hall (oblique) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Hall was held out of practice all week and will miss a second consecutive game due to an oblique injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday that he "expects [Hall] back after the bye," which puts the 2023 second-rounder on track to return for the Seahawks' Week 9 road contest against the Commanders, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Uchenna Nwosu will continue to see more rotational snaps at outside linebacker behind starters Boye Mafe and DeMarcus Lawrence while Hall is sidelined.

Woolen (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Woolen registered an FP-LP-FP practice log this past week, and his lack of an injury tag indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol heading into Monday's game. His return will mean less snaps in the secondary for Nehemiah Pritchett and Derion Kendrick.

The Broncos signed Ehlinger to the practice squad Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Ehlinger primarily served as the Broncos' emergency quarterback early in the season, but he never entered a game. He was bounced from the active roster Friday but quickly rejoined the team.

Love (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Love missed three of the Seahawks' last four games due to a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice all week, and his status for Monday night's game may not be officially known until the Seahawks announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes prior to the 10:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada would see their snaps on defense decrease if Love is cleared to return.
