The Giants signed Haener to the 53-man roster off their practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

It's the second time this season that Haener has been signed to the 53-man roster. Jameis Winston is the Giants' starter while Jaxson Dart (knee) is on injured reserve, but Haener might serve as the backup until recent acquisition J.J. McCarthy gets comfortable with the playbook and offensive gameplan.

Dennis (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Dennis suffered an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' Week 4 loss to the Packers on Sunday. The Bucs are still awaiting the results of his MRI, but the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to be sidelined for Thursday night's contest. In Dennis' absence, Christian Rozeboom will be the sole depth option at inside linebacker behind Alex Anzalone and Josiah Trotter.

Morrison (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Morrison will end up missing two consecutive games due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained during Week 4 prep, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 18. In Morrison's absence, the Buccaneers will lean more heavily on Zyon McCollum, Jacob Parrish and Keionte Scott in the secondary.

Yurosek (undisclosed) practiced Wednesday.

It's unknown how involved Yurosek was during practice, though it appears he could be nearing a return after landing on injured reserve to begin the 2026 campaign. The 24-year-old appeared in 12 regular-season games in 2025, amassing two catches (three targets) for 14 yards.

McGregor (pectoral) was placed on the Jets' injured reserve list Wednesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

McGregor will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a pectoral injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Bears. His move to IR opens up a spot on the 53-man roster, which the Jets filled with Nate Lynn, who signed with the team's practice squad following the conclusion of training camp in late August.

The Vikings signed Jones to the practice squad Wednesday.

Jones was active for Sunday's win over Miami but didn't log a snap. He was waived Monday, though he will remain in Minnesota for now as a member of the practice squad.

The Dolphins signed Washington to the practice squad Wednesday.

Washington was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 15-10 loss to Minnesota. With De'Von Achane (knee) out for the remainder of the 2026 campaign, Washington could see more action with the Dolphins moving forward, though he likely won't have much of a role behind Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright.

Bateman (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

It's a new injury for Bateman, and the same can be said for Zay Flowers, who was limited with a foot injury Wednesday. With Lamar Jackson (ankle) set to miss Week 5 against the Falcons, Bateman is an uninspiring fantasy bet if he plays.

Dell (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Dell made his first practice appearance of the regular season, though he remains on injured reserve after his 21-day evaluation window was officially opened Wednesday. The Texans have been taking it easy with Dell as he works his way back from a severe multi-ligament left knee injury, which he sustained Dec. 21, 2024. Houston has plenty of opportunity for snaps and targets behind No. 1 receiver Nico Collins, but in order to stake his claim to a meaningful role once he's activated from IR at some point over the next three weeks, Dell will need to show in practices that he hasn't lost too much of his pre-injury speed and explosiveness.

Fletcher was cut from the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.

Fletcher hasn't been able to catch on with an NFL team since going undrafted in 2026. He could draw interest from other clubs around the league, though he has an uphill climb before earning a spot on a 53-man roster.
