Greg Dulcich TE | NYG
Giants' Greg Dulcich: Scooped up by Big Blue
The Giants claimed Dulcich off waivers from the Broncos on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
After falling out of favor in Denver and being a healthy inactive in each of the Broncos' last eight games, Dulcich should have a better chance at earning playing time in a Giants tight end room that includes Theo Johnson (back), Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz. With the Giants facing a quick turnaround for Week 13 with a Thursday game against the Cowboys, Dulcich likely won't be active for that contest, but he could have an opportunity to compete for snaps once he gets a full week of practice under his belt. Over 16 career games across two-plus seasons in Denver, the 24-year-old Dulcich recorded 41 receptions for 464 yards and two touchdowns on 71 targets.

Tanoh Kpassagnon DE | NO
Saints' Tanoh Kpassagnon: Designated for return
Kpassagnon (Achilles) was designated for return from the reserve/PUP list by New Orleans on Tuesday.
Kpassagnon tore his Achilles' tendon during the offseason last spring, but his 21-day practice window is now open. The veteran lineman appeared in all 17 games last season, registering 19 tackles (12 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and two batted passes.

Austin Seibert K | WAS
Commanders' Austin Seibert: Heads to IR
The Commanders placed Seibert on injured reserve Tuesday.
Seibert's placement on IR is presumably due to the right hip injury that prevented him from playing in Weeks 11 and 12. The 28-year-old was cleared to return to action in this past Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but he struggled mightily with two costly misses on point-after tries along with a missed 51-yard field goal -- in a 34-26 loss. The Commanders don't have another kicker on the roster at the moment, but Zane Gonzalez previously filled in during Seibert's two-game absence and will presumably be elevated from the practice squad once again to handle kicking duties this Sunday against the Titans. Seibert won't be eligible to return to action until Washington's Week 18 rematch with the Cowboys on Jan. 5.

Zonovan Knight RB | NYJ
Zonovan Knight: Back with Jets
The Jets signed Knight to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Knight spent 2023 and the 2024 offseason with the Lions, but he was cut by Detroit back in August. Prior to his tenure with the Lions, Knight played in seven games, four starts, for the Jets in 2022, rushing 85 times for 300 yards and one touchdown, adding 13-100-0 as a receiver. He'll serve as organizational depth for New York.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Remains limited Tuesday
Johnson (back) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
With Johnson having been estimated as a limited participant on both of the Giants' first two Week 13 injury reports, he'll have one more chance to potentially upgrade to full activity before Thursday's game against the Cowboys. The rookie tight end has taken on a greater role in the New York passing attack in recent weeks, drawing exactly six targets in each of the Giants' last three games.

Baylor Cupp TE | KC
Baylor Cupp: Back from injured list
The Chiefs activated Cupp (undisclosed) from the practice-squad injured list Tuesday.
Cupp is an undrafted rookie out of Texas Tech. He's yet to play in an NFL game.

Easop Winston WR | NYJ
Easop Winston: Lands with New York
The Jets signed Winston to their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Winston has been bouncing around practice squads for the better part of the last four seasons. He's appeared in four career regular-season games, but none have come since the 2021 campaign.

James Houston LB | DET
James Houston: Waived by Detroit
The Lions waived Houston on Tuesday.
A sixth-round pick in 2022, Houston had a huge rookie season, recording 8.0 sacks across seven games. But getting to the quarterback proved to be a challenge in 2023 and 2024, as Houston has just 1.0 sacks across 10 appearances since the start of last season. He'll look for a fresh start elsewhere and could even garner some interest on waivers.

Trey Lance QB | DAL
Cowboys' Trey Lance: Takes field for two plays Week 12
Lance carried once for minus-3 yards while playing two of the Cowboys' 66 snaps on offense Sunday in Dallas' 34-26 win over Washington.
Though Cooper Rush made his third straight start Sunday, head coach Mike McCarthy made good on his promise that the Cowboys would have a package of plays available for Lance in a backup role. Lance entered the game on a 1st-and-goal chance at the three-yard line, but he couldn't find any room on his lone rushing attempt and was immediately subbed back out for Rush, who completed a six-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert on the next play. Assuming Rush is able to play through the knee issue that resulted in him being listed as a limited participant Monday on the Cowboys' initial Week 13 injury report, Lance will remain in a backup role for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Drew Lock QB | NYG
Giants' Drew Lock: Gets extra reps in practice
Lock took extra reps with the Giants' first-team offense in Tuesday's practice while starter Tommy DeVito was a limited participant due to a sore right forearm, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
After the Giants removed Daniel Jones from the starting role coming out of a Week 11 bye before ultimately waiving him, DeVito was named the team's Week 12 starter, despite Lock having slotted ahead of DeVito on the depth chart all season. With DeVito briefly getting the wind knocked out of him in this past Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers, Lock came on to play one snap and completed his lone pass attempt for a three-yard gain. Though DeVito wasn't included on the initial Week 13 injury report released Monday, the quarterback is nursing an injury to his forearm as Thursday's game against the Cowboys approaches. According to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, DeVito said after Tuesday's practice that he still expects to start the Thanksgiving Day game, but Lock will stay ready in case he's needed.
