Owen Wright RB | HOU
Buccaneers' Owen Wright: Elevated ahead of Week 6
The Buccaneers elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Wright was signed to the Bucs' practice squad Tuesday, and he'll be on the team's active roster for Sunday's home clash against the 49ers. He'll be expected to serve as the Buccaneers' RB3 behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker due to the absences Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) and Josh Williams (concussion). Wright last saw action in 2023 as a member of the Ravens, when he played in one regular-season game and played solely on special teams.

John Ridgeway DT | NO
Saints' John Ridgeway: Won't play vs. New England
Ridgeway (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Ridgeway drew the questionable tag for Sunday's contest after three consecutive full practices, but the fourth-year defensive tackle will need to wait until at least Week 7 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 19 to make his 2025 debut. The 2022 fifth-rounder opened the season on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during training camp in late July.

Isaiah Williams WR | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Williams: Elevated for London contest
The Jets elevated Williams from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
The Jets waived Williams on Oct. 4, but he was back with the team after signing with the practice squad Monday. He has mostly played on special teams this season as a returner on punts and kickoffs, and he'll likely reprise that role during Sunday's game against the Broncos in London, England.

Brandon Smith WR | PIT
Jets' Brandon Smith: Elevated for Week 6
The Jets elevated Smith from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
It's Smith's first elevation of the season, and he is in line to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Broncos on Sunday in London, England. The 26-year-old wideout logged 10 catches (on 13 targets) for 113 yards through three preseason games with the Jets but was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Ben Powers G | DEN
Broncos' Ben Powers: Placed on injured reserve
The Broncos placed Powers (biceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Powers had surgery Monday after tearing his left biceps during the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Eagles, and the 2019 fourth-rounder is expected to be sidelined until December, per Tomasson. Calvin Throckmorton was elevated from the practice squad to provide the Broncos additional depth on offensive line, and Alex Palczewski could start at left guard against the Jets on Sunday due to Powers' injury.
-
Malcolm Roach DT | DEN
Broncos' Malcolm Roach: Activated from IR
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.

Nyheim Miller-Hines RB | NO
Chargers' Nyheim Hines: Elevated by Bolts for Week 6
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.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Elevated for Week 6
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.

Reuben Lowery III DB | IND
Reuben Lowery: Let go by Baltimore
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.

Basil Okoye DT | NYG
Ravens' CJ Okoye: Signed to 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.
