The Bengals waived Williams on Tuesday.

Williams muffed a punt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Steelers, which led to the game-winning field goal for Pittsburgh. With Williams cut from the team and the Bengals dealing with injuries to both Andrei Iosivas (thumb, IR) and Colbie Young (knee), Cincinnati opted to replenish its depth at wide receiver by signing Mitchell Tinsley from Houston's practice squad to the active roster. Assuming he clears waivers, Williams will have the opportunity to explore his next options and look to join a team in need of a returner on special teams.

The Bengals placed Davis (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Davis injured his hamstring during the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers in Week 3. The injury is severe enough for the Utah State product to spend time on IR, which means he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games and is eligible to return for Week 9 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 8. Ja'Sir Taylor (undisclosed) is also on injured reserve, so Dax Hill and Tacario Davis are both in line for more snaps in the Bengals' secondary.

Wallace (knee) didn't participate in Cleveland's practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Wallace is in danger of missing Thursday's matchup versus the Steelers, as he was also listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate after suffering a knee injury during the Week 3 win over Carolina. Isaiah Bond and Malachi Corley could be in line for increased playing time if Wallace is unable to suit up for Thursday's game.

Revel (knee) is expected to "work into" practice this week, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Revel was hurt while attempting to make a tackle in Sunday's loss to Baltimore. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer indicated Tuesday that the cornerback is likely to practice to some extent this week, so Revel has a chance to suit up Sunday versus Houston. That could be particularly important with Cobie Durant dealing with a hamstring injury that caused him to sit out Week 3 and that could sideline him for additional contests.

The Bengals signed Hudson off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

Hudson was elevated from the practice squad for two of the Bengals' first three games of the regular season, accumulating three catches on as many targets for 17 yards. He'll now be a part of the team's 53-man roster moving forward and will contribute mostly on special teams and in a depth role on offense behind fellow tight ends Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Erick All.

Waddle is believed to be "fine" despite being seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's victory over the Rams, Sam Jane of The Denver Post reports.

Concern was raised about Waddle's status after he was spotted -- per Jon Heath of Broncos Wire -- with a boot on his foot Sunday night, but Jane's report indicates Waddle is not dealing with any sort of serious setback. More will be known about Waddle's status either at the start of or after Denver's Wednesday practice session.

The Bengals signed Tinsley off the Texans' practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

The Bengals needed to replenish their depth at wide receiver due to the injury absences of Andrei Iosivas (thumb, IR) and rookie fourth-rounder Colbie Young (knee), the latter of whom has already been ruled out for Week 4 against the Jaguars. Tinsley appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Bengals in 2025, finishing with an 8-117-2 receiving line on 24 targets, though he joined the Texans' practice squad Sept. 1 after failing to make Cincinnati's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Now that he's back with the Bengals, Tinsley will contribute both on special teams and in a rotational role on offense.

The Texans signed Saunders to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Saunders is returning to Houston, where he spent time this offseason after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in May. With Nico Collins still battling a hamstring injury, Saunders could provide additional depth at receiver if Collins is forced to continue missing time.

Wicks recorded two receptions for 32 yards on five targets in Monday's 27-7 loss to the Bears.

Though he didn't find paydirt, Wicks played a critical role on the Eagles' lone scoring drive on the night late in the second quarter, leading off the possession with a 13-yard catch and run. He was otherwise held in check while the game was still competitive, with his lone other reception coming with 6:30 remaining, when the Bears had built a 20-point lead. Through his first three games with Philadelphia, Wicks has produced a 9-179-1 receiving line on 15 targets.

Lemon recorded three receptions for 29 yards on four targets in Monday's 27-7 loss to the Bears.

After taking the field for north of 60 percent of the snaps in both of the Eagles' first two contests, Lemon wasn't a major beneficiary of the absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (knee). Even though the Eagles leaned more heavily on three-wide formations, Lemon saw only a slight uptick in playing time Monday, logging 35 of 50 snaps (70 percent). The rookie first-round pick appears to be little more than a tertiary option in the passing game at this stage of his career, as he's thus far been held to seven catches for 38 yards on nine targets through his first three NFL games.
