Lacy (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Lacy was not claimed by another team after being waived/injured by the Jets on Sunday. The move to IR means he'll be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

The Seahawks fear that Richman suffered a serious knee injury during Sunday's 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans, Mookie Alexander of SB Nation reports.

Richman's knee appeared to buckle during the Seahawks' opening offensive drive. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but further tests have revealed a long-term injury that will likely lead to the second-year pro opening the regular season on injured reserve.

Jordan (hip) did not participate at practice Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jordan suffered a hip flexor strain at practice in early August, and he still appears to be less than 100 percent. Fellow running back British Brooks (hand) returned to practice Monday after missing three weeks following hand surgery, and the two players are battling to secure a spot on Houston's initial 53-man roster as reserve options behind Woody Marks and David Montgomery.

Baringer picked up an unspecified injury during the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Baringer punted twice for 91 yards before being pulled from Saturday's exhibition contest with an undisclosed injury, putting him in jeopardy of missing the Patriots' Week 1 clash against the Seahawks on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Matt Haack was signed by the Patriots on Monday to serve as the team's punter in Baringer's absence, per Reiss.

McLachlan (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the 49ers on Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The tight end was waived/injured by the Niners on July 31. McLachlan then revered to injured reserve the next day. He's now free to sign with another team if he can get healthy again soon.

The Texans waived Mapu (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mapu may have picked up an injury during the Texans' 22-20 preseason loss to the Raiders on Thursday, when he accrued four tackles. The nature of Mapu's injury isn't clear, but if he clears waivers, then he would revert to injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Houston.

The Texans waived Jackson on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jackson signed with the Texans in May and caught two passes on as many targets for nine yards across his two preseason outings. Assuming he clears waivers, Jackson will look to catch on with a team in need of a wide receiver who can also contribute on special teams.

Pitsenberger (ankle) reached an injury settlement with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The running back was placed on injured reserve Aug. 15 after suffering an ankle injury in a preseason loss to the Chargers. Now that Pitsenberger has reached a settlement with Houston, he has a chance to play in 2026. Wilson reported that the Yale product is dealing with a "three-week injury."

Hood (quadriceps) is expected to return to practice this week, Paul Schwartz of New York Post reports.

Hood has been dealing with a quadriceps issue at practice over the last week or so, but he now appears to be on the cusp of returning to action. It's unclear if the cornerback will be able to play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Jets, but he is definitely on track to be good to go for Week 1 versus the Cowboys on Sept. 13.

Deguara was released by the 49ers on Monday.

The tight end was let go to open a spot for defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko. Deguara joined the Niners in late July after catching three passes for 21 yards and a score with the Cardinals in 2025. The third-round pick of the Packers in 2020 has played more on special teams than offense in each of the last three seasons.
