The Dolphins signed Strange from the Browns' practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

The move solidifies the Dolphins' depth at guard after James Daniels (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve. Strange caught on with the Browns' practice squad in late August after failing to make the Patriots' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2022 first-rounder will step into a reserve role on Miami's offensive line.

The Texans signed Togiai to a one-year contract extension Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

While it's a decent pay raise for Togiai, it's still a relatively affordable contract for Houston, with a maximum value of $3.3 million. He didn't play in Week 1, but he figures to eventually contribute on the interior of the defensive line this season.

The Dolphins placed Daniels (pectoral) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Daniels suffered a pectoral injury during the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts on Sunday. The injury isn't considered season-ending, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, but the 2018 second-rounder will be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 6 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 12 the earliest he is eligible to return. Kion Smith will likely take over as the Dolphins' starting right guard in Daniels' absence.

Head coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday that Harrison (knee) will not play in the Steelers' Week 2 contest against the Seahawks on Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Harrison suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 1 win over the Jets. The injury is severe enough for the 2020 third-rounder to miss at least one week, and he'll work on recovering enough to be available for Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 21. Carson Bruener could see some rotational snaps at inside linebacker for as long as Harrison is sidelined.

Walker (quadriceps) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough after being estimated as DNP on Monday.

The Packers didn't practice Monday and held a walkthrough Tuesday, so both of his statuses are estimations. The fourth-year linebacker played all 65 of Green Bay's defensive snaps Week 1 against Detroit, but he appears to have picked up a quad injury along the way. Walker finished with nine tackles and a defensed pass in the win against the Lions, so it would be a blow to the Packers' defensive scheme if he were to sit out Thursday's matchup versus Washington.

The Chargers cut Hines from their practice squad Tuesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Chargers signed linebacker Kana'i Mauga to their practice squad. Hines' last regular-season action came in 2022, when he turned 54 touches into 274 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns over 16 games with the Bills and the Colts.

The Jets cut Toafili from the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

The move makes room on the Jets' practice squad for fellow running back Keilan Robinson. Toafili initially caught on with the Jets' practice squad in early September after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The undrafted rookie out of Florida State will now look to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth.

Philadelphia cut Johnson from its practice squad Tuesday.

In a corresponding transaction, the Eagles signed offensive lineman Jake Majors to their practice squad. For Johnson's part, he'll now be free to look for another opportunity with a different club.

The Jets signed Robinson to the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

Robinson was unable to make the Eagles' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but will get another opportunity with the Jets as a member of the practice squad. The 2024 fifth-rounder appeared in six regular-season games for the Jaguars in his rookie season but was waived by Jacksonville in early June. Robinson is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster for the Jets' Week 2 AFC East clash against the Bills on Sunday if Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) is unable to play.

McFadden is expected to miss "significant time" due to a foot injury that will require surgery, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

McFadden was carted off the field during the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. It was initially reported as a leg injury, and while X-rays on his leg came back negative, further tests revealed a significant foot injury that will require the 2022 fifth-rounder to undergo surgery. It's a significant loss to the Giants' defense, as McFadden led the team with 107 combined tackles across 14 regular-season games in 2024. Darius Muasau ended up playing 38 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss and figures to start alongside Bobby Okereke at inside linebacker for as long as McFadden is sidelined.
