The NFL removed Ward (foot) from the Commissioner Exempt List on Monday, and the Texans moved him to the reserve/PUP list in a corresponding move, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ward was placed on the Commissioner Exempt List in late August as part of an investigation into his arrest in mid-June on third-degree felony domestic violence charges. Ward is still under investigation, but his move off the list to PUP means he will be able to participate in team activities once he has been cleared to return from a foot injury that he suffered in late December of 2024.

Allen secured his only target for three yards during Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles.

Despite splitting time with Colby Parkinson as the backup to starter Tyler Higbee, Allen was the only tight end for the Rams to make a catch. Allen scored touchdowns in each of his first two weeks this season, but given the extreme lack of targets heading his way and his role in what amounts to a three-way time share on offense, Allen will remain hard to trust in fantasy rosters against the undefeated Colts in Week 4.

The Lions elevated Dwelley from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens.

Dwelley was let go by the 49ers during training camp in mid-August, but he caught on with the Lions this past Tuesday on the practice squad following the placement of Shane Zylstra (ankle) on injured reserve. Dwelley will be elevated for Monday night's contest and will serve as the Lions' TE3 behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

The Lions placed Davenport (chest) on injured reserve Monday.

Davenport suffered a chest injury during the Lions' Week 2 win over the Bears. He was already ruled out for Monday's game against the Ravens, but his placement on IR means he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games. That makes Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20 the earliest that Davenport can be reinstated from IR.

Chargers head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that imaging has confirmed Harris suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's win over the Broncos, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Harris will need to undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the season due to the severity of the injury he suffered Week 3 against Denver. The 27-year-old running back inked a one-year contract with Los Angeles for the 2025 campaign, positioning him to hit free agency next offseason. With Harris done for the year, rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton becomes clearly entrenched as the No. 1 backfield option for a high-scoring Chargers offense, and 2024 sixth-rounder Kimani Vidal becomes a likely candidate to be brought off the practice squad as additional depth alongside return-game specialist Hassan Haskins.

Lewis had three total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, four total QB hurries in Sunday's win at Tennessee.

Lewis played on 38 of the defense's 70 snaps and had a strong game rushing the passer as he had just two QB hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, in his first two games. He's working in a reserve role but is part of the rotation at defensive end.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Wyatt is considered "day-to-day" due to a knee injury that he suffered during Green Bay's 13-10 loss to Cleveland on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wyatt played a season-low 38 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss and did not record a tackle. His practice participation over the coming week will be worth monitoring, as it will indicate his chances of playing in the Packers' Week 4 clash against the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 28. Nazir Stackhouse and Karl Brooks would be in line to see additional snaps at defensive tackle alongside Colby Wooden for as long as Wyatt is sidelined.

Mitchell did not have a reception on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.

Michell played on 24 of the offense's 57 snaps as he saw an increase in playing time, but that didn't translate into more opportunities. He drew raves in training camp, so he could still shine if an injury in the receiving corps gives him more opportunity.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Bullard is in the concussion protocol following the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

It's unclear when Bullard suffered the injury, but he will have to pass through the league's five-step concussion protocol before returning to action, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the Packers' Week 4 clash against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Bullard's absence would open the door for Nate Hobbs to see additional work at slot corner if Bullard is not cleared to play.

Giddens had one carry for three yards in Sunday's win at Tennessee.

Giddens played just eight snaps on offense. Tyler Goodson made his regular-season debut after missing the first two games due to an elbow injury and played four snaps and had two carries for six yards. It's not clear who is Taylor's primary backup as Goodson could be used in more passing situations, but neither backup is getting much usage as Taylor again got almost all the opportunities (17 carries and four targets) and played on 77 percent of the offense's snaps.
