The Raiders elevated Okwuegbunam from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Bears.

Okwuegbunam will likely serve as the team's No. 3 tight end Sunday behind Brock Bowers and Ian Thomas, as Michael Mayer has been ruled out with a concussion. Okwuegbunam can contribute on both offense and special teams. He will be eligible to be elevated two more times this season.

Thomas (forearm) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

The 27-year-old safety didn't practice all week after sustaining a forearm injury in Detroit's Week 3 win over the Ravens, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games. Thomas has played 59 total snaps (nine on defense, 50 on special teams) through three contests this season, recording two total tackles.

Marshall (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Jets.

Marshall was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Dolphins' Week 3 loss to the Bills, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Monday night. The 2025 fifth-round pick from Florida has tallied three total tackles over 62 defensive snaps this season. While he's sidelined in Week 4, expect Cornell Armstrong to see increased reps in Miami's secondary.

Duck (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Jets.

The 24-year-old will miss his third consecutive game after sustaining an ankle injury in the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts. In Duck's absence, veteran Rasul Douglas is expected to step in and start opposite Jack Jones in Miami's secondary.

Nwangwu (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Dolphins.

The Iowa State product downgraded from limited practice Thursday and Friday to a DNP on Saturday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday night's contest. If Nwangwu misses his third consecutive game due to a hamstring issue, Isaiah Davis is expected to assume the Jets' top kick returner position.

McAtamney was elevated from the Giants' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Rutgers product competed with Younghoe Koo throughout the week for the Giants' top kicker spot, as Graham Gano (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Following Saturday's elevation, McAtamney appears set to handle New York's kicking duties in a Week 4 matchup against the Chargers. A solid performance Sunday could cement his role as the Giants' top kicker until Gano returns.

The Ravens placed Washington (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

The sixth-year pro from Texas Tech will now be forced to miss the Ravens' next four games after moving to IR. Washington appeared in each of Baltimore's first three games this season, recording four total tackles and one pass defended. With Nnamdi Madubuike (ankle) also shifting to IR, the Ravens are expected to play Aeneas Peebles and Brent Urban as their top defensive ends in a Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs.

Madubuike (neck) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Madibuike was unable to practice all week and had already been ruled out for the Week 4 matchup against the Lions due to a neck issue. He'll now be forced to miss Baltimore's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in a Week 8 contest against the Dolphins. This is a huge loss for the Ravens' defense, as Madubuike tallied 99 total tackles, including 19.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles in 34 regular-season games from 2023 to 2024. In his absence, Aeneas Peebles projects to start on Baltimore's defensive line.

The Jaguars elevated Morris from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Morris is set to be elevated for the third time this season and would need to be signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game following Sunday's matchup. He played exclusively on special teams across his first two appearances and will likely have a similar role versus San Francisco.

The Ravens signed Urban off their practice squad Saturday.

The veteran defensive lineman was elevated for the Ravens' Week 3 loss to the Lions, playing 25 defensive snaps and recording one total tackle. With Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington (ankle) both moving to injured reserve Saturday, Urban's signing provides needed depth at defensive end. He's expected to start opposite Aeneas Peebles in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs.
