The Vikings placed Kelly (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.

Kelly has already sustained two concussions this season and has a history of concussions, so the Vikings are giving him time to fully recover. With Kelly sidelined and Michael Jurgens (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday, Blake Brandel is penciled in as the starting center against Cleveland.

The Jets elevated Williams from the practice squad Saturday.

Williams will give the Jets another option on kickoff and punt returns after Isaiah Williams lost a fumble in the role last Monday night and was subsequently cut Saturday.

The Panthers activated Ray (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Despite being activated, Ray is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but this at least gives him a chance to make his 2025 season debut this week. Ray appeared in 33 regular-season games over the previous two seasons, recording 60 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Murray (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Chiefs.

Murray was forced to leave last Sunday's win over the 49ers with the injury, but he won't need to miss any additional action. Murray has started all four games at safety for the Jaguars, recording 20 tackles (11 solo) and three pass breakups, including one interception, on 83 percent of the defensive snaps.

Walker (wrist) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Chiefs.

Walker underwent minor surgery on his left wrist earlier in the week but was able to return to practice Saturday with a club on his hand, getting in a limited session. If Walker is unable to go Monday, veterans Dawuane Smoot and Emmanuel Ogbah would see increased snaps on defense.

Norman-Lott (shoulder) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Jaguars.

Coach Andy Reid said Saturday that Norman-Lott was injured in Friday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. The second-round rookie defensive lineman missed Week 1 with an ankle injury but has played just over 30 percent of the defensive snaps over the last three weeks.

Fulton (ankle) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Jaguars.

Fulton was limited in practice all week and has missed Kansas City's past two contests. If Fulton is unable to return for Week 5, Nohl Williams and Josh Williams could again see elevated roles on defense against the Jaguars.

The Giants elevated McAtamney from the practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

With Graham Gano (groin) still sidelined, McAtamney will once again handle kicking duties for the G-Men in Week 5 against New Orleans. In his season debut last week, McAtamney converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try against the Chargers.

The Broncos placed Krull on injured reserve Saturday due to a broken foot, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Krull suffered the injury in practice this week and will now miss at least the next four games, though his absence could extend beyond that. Krull has appeared in two games this season, securing two passes for 15 yards on four targets.

The Saints downgraded Ridgeway (shoulder) to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Ridgeway remains on injured reserve, so his 2025 season debut will have to wait at least another week. His 21-day practice window was opened by New Orleans on Wednesday.
