The Steelers placed Driscoll (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday with a designation to return, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Driscoll will now need to miss at least four games of the regular season on injured reserve before he is eligible to return to the Steelers' active roster. The offensive tackle is dealing with an unknown issue, and it is unclear if he will need more than the minimum required time to recover.

Blue is slated to sign with the Eagles' practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A fifth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2025, Blue got some run as a rookie with 38 carries for 129 yards (3.4 YPC) and one touchdown in five regular-season appearances, although most of that production came in Week 18. Dallas opted to waive him Sunday and then didn't re-sign him to the practice squad, allowing the team's NFC East rivals to swoop in. Blue will be a candidate for elevation if any of Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby or Will Shipley get injured.

Roberts (undisclosed) reverted to the Raiders' IR on Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Roberts was waived/injured with an undisclosed issue Sunday and went unclaimed on waivers. As such, he'll need to miss the entire 2026 season unless he works out an injury settlement with Las Vegas.

The Steelers placed Kent (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Kent spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list, enabling the cornerback to start the regular season on the reserve/PUP list. The 24-year-old will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season before he is eligible to return to the active roster.

The 49ers placed Pleasants (knee) on injured reserve with a designation to return Sunday.

Pleasants sustained a knee injury during the 49ers' preseason game against the Chargers on Aug. 20. The injury is severe enough for 29-year-old offensive tackle to open the year on IR, meaning he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

The Saints placed Wesley on injured reserve Sunday due to an undisclosed issue.

It's not immediately clear what caused Wesley's placement on IR, but he'll need to miss the entire 2026 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with New Orleans. The Colorado State product had been competing for a depth role on the offensive line during the preseason.

Bennett (knee) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return by the Eagles on Sunday.

The cornerback has been dealing with a knee injury since the latter part of August, and he will now need to miss the first four games of the regular season. Bennett has played a depth role in the Philadelphia secondary since joining the team ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Brown (undisclosed) was placed on the Jets' injured reserve Sunday, Amanda Vogt and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.

The nature of Brown's injury is not clear, nor when he sustained the injury. However, his placement on IR without a return designation means the 2021 fourth-rounder will be forced to miss the entire upcoming season unless an injury settlement is reached with the Jets. Brown appeared in 10 regular-season games between the Rams and Jets in 2025, finishing with eight tackles (four solo).

The Ravens waived Johnson on Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson suffered a thumb injury in the Ravens' preseason game against the Vikings on Aug. 22. The linebacker was not waived with any injury designation, meaning Johnson has fully recovered from his injury and is all set to sign with another franchise if he clears waivers.

The Jets moved Baron (knee) to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, Eric Allen and Amanda Vogt of the team's official site report.

Baron opened training camp on the active/PUP list due to a knee injury he sustained last December. He's not quite ready to participate in practice, and the move to reserve/PUP means he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The second-year pro logged nine tackles (five solo) across six regular-season games last year before his knee injury.
