The Raiders signed Runyon from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

Runyon was elevated from the practice squad ahead of this past Sunday's loss to Chicago and logged 15 snaps on special teams (but no offensive snaps). He subsequently reverted back to the practice squad, but Las Vegas has elected to give him a spot on its active roster. Runyon could have a hard time getting into games on offense, however, as he's behind Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer (concussion) and Ian Thomas on the tight-end depth chart.

Sigle logged eight tackles (six solo) and one pass defense during the 49ers' 26-21 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Sigle played every single snap for a fourth consecutive game, and the rookie fifth-rounder finished tied with Fred Warner for the second most tackles on the 49ers behind Dee Winters (10), who is nursing a knee injury. Sigle has opened his rookie season with 26 tackles (15 solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery through four games.

Philadelphia placed Hughlett (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.

It's not clear at this point what kind of injury Hughlett is dealing with, but he'll now have to spend at least the Eagles' next four games on the sidelines. In a corresponding transaction, Philadelphia signed long snapper Cal Adomitis on Tuesday.

The Lions signed Flowers to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Flowers was unable to make the Bears' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 2018 fifth-rounder will get another opportunity as a member of the Lions' practice squad. He could be elevated to the active roster for the Lions' Week 5 clash against the Bengals if either or both of Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and D.J. Reed (hamstring) is ruled out.

Philadelphia placed Okoronkwo (triceps) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Okoronkwo is believed to have suffered a torn triceps in Week 4 at Tampa Bay and is expected to miss the rest of the season as a result. Without him in the rotation, the Eagles figure to lean on Za'Darius Smith, Azeez Ojulari and 2024 third-rounder Jalyx Hunt to bring pressure off the edge in the coming weeks.

The Buccaneers placed Jones (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

It's not clear when Jones suffered the injury or the nature of it, but it is considered to be season-ending, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. Jones caught on with the Buccaneers' practice squad after failing to make the Ravens' 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August.

The Buccaneers placed Wisdom (quadriceps) on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Wisdom suffered the injury while on special teams during the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. By being placed on IR, Wisdom will be forced to miss at least the next four games, and the earliest he can be reinstated is ahead of the Bucs' Week 10 clash against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 9. Tampa Bay signed undrafted rookie Sebastian Castro from the practice squad to the active roster to add depth to the secondary due to Wisdom's injury.

The Chargers signed Waxter (undisclosed) to their practice squad Tuesday.

Waxter spent training camp with Seattle but was waived with an injury settlement in late August. It's not clear what type of issue he was dealing with, but Waxter's signing with Los Angeles' practice squad suggests he's returned to health. He'll now look to impress his new club with the aim of eventually getting a look on the active roster.

The Bills placed Johnston (foot/ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Johnston sustained the injury during the third quarter of Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints. The injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on IR, which means he'll be forced to be sidelined for at least the next four games. That puts Week 10 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 9 as the earliest Johnston can return from injured reserve. The Bills signed Mitch Wishnowsky to the active roster, and he will serve as Buffalo's punter while Johnston is on the shelf.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that O'Neill is considered week-to-week due to an MCL sprain that he suffered during the Vikings' Week 4 loss to the Steelers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

O'Neill suffered the injury in the first quarter and was unable to return. He isn't set to go on injured reserve but won't play in the Vikings' Week 5 bout against the Browns on Sunday in London, and he'll have his injury re-evaluated following the Week 6 bye. Justin Skule is expected to start at right tackle for as long as O'Neill is sidelined.
