The Broncos activated Roach (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Roach opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a calf injury. He was a full participant in the final two practices of the week after being designated to return Wednesday, so his reinstatement off IR indicates that he is on track to make his 2025 debut against the Jets on Sunday in London, England. Roach tallied 43 tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

The Chargers elevated Hines from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Hines joined the Chargers' practice squad Tuesday, and his addition gives the team much-needed depth at running back after Omarion Hampton (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. Hines will likely be active against the Dolphins on Sunday, and if he plays, it will mark his first action since the 2022 season, when he appeared in 16 regular-season games between the Bills (nine) and the Colts (seven). Hines could serve in a return role on kickoffs and punts but might also see work out of the backfield behind Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal.

The Patriots elevated Jennings from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

It's Jennings first elevation from the practice of the season, and he's slated to serve as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson during Sunday's game against the Saints. Jennings logged 13 carries for 33 yards across three regular-season games with New England in 2024.

The Ravens waived Lowery on Saturday.

The undrafted rookie out of Chattanooga cracked the Ravens' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He played every single defensive snap during the Ravens' Week 5 blowout loss to the Texans, when he finished with five tackles (one solo). Assuming he clears waivers, Lowery will look to catch on with a team in need of depth in the secondary. His exit corresponds with CJ Okoye being signed to the Ravens' active roster.

The Ravens signed Okoye from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Okoye joined the Ravens' practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated from the practice squad twice and logged seven tackles (five solo) across two games. With Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington (ankle) both on injured reserve, Okoye's addition to the active roster gives the Ravens much-needed depth on the defensive line.

The Ravens elevated Huntley from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Huntley will be on the active roster for a second-straight week to serve as the Ravens' backup quarterback behind Cooper Rush. Huntley appeared in five regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024, when he completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 829 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 26 carries for 135 yards and two scores.

The Chargers placed Hand (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.

Hand suffered a groin injury during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Commanders. He was unable to practice this past week, and the injury is severe enough for the 2018 fourth-rounder to go on injured reserve. Hand will be required to miss at least the next four games, making Week 10 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 9 the earliest he can return. Justin Eboigbe, Naquan Jones and Otito Ogbonnia should all see additional work at defensive end while Hand is on IR.

The Steelers signed Williams from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Williams joined the Steelers' practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Though he hasn't been elevated this season, the undrafted rookie out of Indiana could make his NFL regular-season debut against the Browns on Sunday due to the absence of Calvin Austin (shoulder). Austin's absence opens the door for Williams to serve on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

The Titans elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Wright was added to the Titans' practice squad Wednesday, and he will serve as Tennessee's kicker for Sunday's game against Las Vegas due to the absence of Joey Slye (calf). Wright appeared in five regular-season games between the Titans, Chiefs and 49ers in 2024 and went 15-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra-point tries.

The Titans signed Odukoya from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

The fourth-year tight end joined the Titans' practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He has now been signed to the team's active roster despite not being elevated from the practice squad this season, and he will join David Martin-Robinson and rookie fourth-rounder Gunnar Helm as the Titans' depth options at tight end behind Chig Okonkwo. Odukoya appeared in three regular-season games for the Titans in 2024.
