Bentley reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bentley played two snaps on offense during the Colts' Week 1 win over the Dolphins, with his lone carry going for no gain. He would be a top candidate to be elevated for the Colts' Week 2 clash against the Broncos on Sunday if Tyler Goodson (elbow) is not cleared to play.

Avila suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday's win over the Texans, Wyatt Miller of the Rams' official site reports.

Avila is now considered to be week-to-week after having exited Sunday's matchup in the second quarter before returning in the fourth quarter. Head coach Sean McVay said there's a chance Avila could be ready for the team's Week 2 matchup versus the Titans and will know more about his status following Wednesday's projected workloads. If Avila ends up being unable to play, Justin Dedich will likely start at left guard in his place.

Johnson reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson played 15 snaps (seven on offense, eight on special teams) without otherwise showing up on the box score. The seventh-year fullback could be elevated for Week 2 against Tampa Bay if Houston requires additional blocking out of the backfield and another body for special teams.

Prentice reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Prentice was elevated for Week 1 and logged 15 of the Broncos' 76 offensive snaps, finishing with one catch on one target for four yards. He also played four snaps on special teams. Prentice is likely to be elevated again for Week 2 against Indianapolis, as Denver doesn't have another healthy option at fullback.

Pola-Mao logged seven tackles (five solo) and one interception during Las Vegas' 20-13 win over New England on Sunday.

Pola-Mao picked off an overthrown pass from Drake Maye intended for Stefon Diggs, which led to a Ashton Jeanty three-yard rushing touchdown five plays later. Pola-Mao was one of six Las Vegas players to play every defensive snap, and his five solo tackles was second most on the team behind Devin White (eight).

McCollum registered 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 23-20 victory against Atlanta.

McCollum was one of three Bucs to log double-digit stops in the narrow win. The fourth-year cornerback finished with double-digit tackles just once last year -- in Week 5, also against the Falcons. McCollum finished with a career-high 82 tackles during the regular-season last year and will look to build upon that mark in 2025.

White logged 11 tackles (eight solo) during the Raiders' 20-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

White played all 71 defensive snaps Sunday, and his 11 tackles were his most in a game since Week 1 of the 2023 season as a member of the Buccaneers (12). The 2019 first-rounder signed a one-year contract with the Raiders in March after a tumultuous 2024 campaign in which he was released by the Eagles in October without appearing in a game and then subsequently joining the Texans. Sunday's contest is a positive sign for White, who logged three consecutive 100-tackle seasons with Tampa Bay from 2020 to 2022.

Prater reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday.

With Tyler Bass (hip/groin) landing on injured reserve prior to the season opener, Prater was elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for the Bills. The 41-year-old knocked down all five of his kicks in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Ravens, capping off the victory with a 32-yard field goal as time expired. Prater will almost certainly be elevated to the active roster again for the Bills' Week 2 game versus the Jets.

Mitchell-Paden reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday.

Mitchell-Paden was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss versus the Bills as Isaiah Likely was sidelined with a foot injury, and the former ended up seeing playing time on both offense and special teams but failed to record any stats. Mitchell-Paden could play again next week versus the Browns if Likely remains out.

Smith recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) and a defensed pass in a 23-20 Week 1 win over the Falcons.

Smith led both teams in tackles in the victory, and his 11 stops tied his career-best mark, which he first reached in Week 5 last season. He played 74 of Tampa Bay's 76 defensive snaps and should be a near every-down player this year as long as he remains healthy.
