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.

Booker (knee) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Commanders.

Booker started the regular season on injured reserve due to a knee injury that he suffered during preseason action in August. He was designated to return Thursday and was a full participant in all three practices this past week, but he will need to be activated from IR before making his 2025 regular-season debut. The 2024 fifth-rounder tallied 21 tackles (14 solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games during his rookie campaign.

Gordon (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Commanders.

Gordon has been cleared to make his 2025 regular-season debut Monday after logging a full practice Saturday. The 2022 second-rounder has been working through a hamstring injury from the offseason, so he may be deployed in a rotational role in the secondary in his return.

The 49ers activated Mustapha (knee) off injured reserve Saturday.

Mustapha is closer to making his return after recovering from a torn ACL. While he remains questionable for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, the 23-year-old should serve as a depth defensive back and can also contribute on special teams if he ends up playing.

Jarrett (knee) didn't practice Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Commanders.

Even with the Bears on the Week 5 bye, Jarrett will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury that has lingered since early September. Jarrett was unable to practice this past week, and he'll focus on returning to the field in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Bears' Week 7 home clash against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 19. Chris Williams, Andrew Billings and rookie third-rounder Shemar Turner are candidates to see their snaps at defensive tackle increase Monday in Jarrett's absence.

Homer (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Commanders.

Homer started the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury that he suffered in preseason action in August. He was a full participant in practice this past week, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to have a chance at playing in Washington on Monday. Once he's cleared to return, Homer could be deployed on special teams as a returner while providing depth in the Bears' backfield.
