The Panthers transferred Moton to the reserve/non-football illness list Sunday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Moton will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. He was diagnosed with blood clots in his lung before the beginning of training camp and is being treated using blood thinners. The earliest Moton can return is Week 6 against the Eagles, though the Panthers will likely take the cautious route with the 2017 second-rounder given the nature and severity of the injury. Monroe Freeling is in line to start at right tackle in Moton's absence.

Rogers (knee) reverted to the Cowboys' injured reserve list Monday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Rogers suffered an MCL sprain during the preseason and was waived with an injury designation on Sunday. The tight end went unclaimed and will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

The Bengals placed Parker (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.

The rookie sixth-rounder was set to play a reserve role on the Bengals' offensive line in 2026. Parker will now need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster.

Ekwonu (knee) was moved to the Panthers' reserve/PUP list Sunday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Ekwonu continues to recover from a ruptured patellar tendon that he suffered in the Panthers' wild-card loss to the Rams in January. He is required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, with Week 6 against the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 18 the earliest he can return. Rasheed Walker figures to serve as the Panthers' starter at left tackle for as long as Ekwonu is sidelined.

The Bengals placed Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.

Taylor signed a one-year contract with the Bengals in early April. The cornerback is set to play a key reserve role in the team's secondary once he can return to the field. Taylor will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before becoming eligible to return to the Bengals' active roster.

The Falcons moved Thompson (undisclosed) to the reserve/non-football injury list Sunday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Thompson spent all of training camp on the active/non-football injury list, making the defensive tackle eligible to start the season on the reserve/NFI list. The 23-year-old is now required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season before being eligible to return to the active roster.

The Ravens placed Kone (lower body) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Kone was cleared to participate in training camp after fully recovering from a torn MCL and ACL, but he picked up a lower-body injury during practice last week. The injury is severe enough for Kone to start the 2026 season on injured reserve, meaning he'll be required to miss at least the first four games. A Week 5 matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 11 represents the earliest opportunity for the second-year cornerback to return to action.

Sanders was signed to the Jets' practice squad Monday.

Sanders has been through quite the ordeal with the Jets, going from being the presumed starter, to being released, and now back with the team's practice squad. Sanders will provide New York with an experienced option to turn to if new addition Blake Grupe struggles early in the 2026 campaign.

The Cardinals placed Carter (knee) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Carter will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season due to a knee injury he sustained in training camp practice in early August. With rookie fourth-rounder Kaleb Proctor (knee) out for the entire season, Andrew Billings, L.J. Collier and Keveion'ta Spears will serve as the Cardinals' rotational defensive tackles behind Roy Lopez and Walter Nolen for as long as Carter is sidelined.

The Titans removed Johnson (ankle) from injured reserve Sunday with an injury settlement, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson was moved to IR on Aug. 21. The cornerback underwent ankle surgery and was already set to miss time. Johnson is now a free agent but will be unable to sign with another franchise until he has fully recovered.
