The Jets signed Pritchett from the practice squad to the active roster Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The Jets signed Pritchett to the practice squad Sept. 2 after waiving the wide receiver on cutdown day. The second-year player out of South Alabama has yet to play in an NFL contest. If Adonai Mitchell (finger) cannot suit up for Sunday's game against the Lions, Pritchett is set to be the No. 4 option for the Jets in his debut.

The Jets elevated Shepard from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Shepard is set to suit up as the No. 6 wide receiver for the Jets in Sunday's game against the Lions. The new practice squad face was elevated for a scenario where Adonai Mitchell (finger) is unable to play in Sunday's contest. If Mitchell receives the green light, Shepard may spend his first elevation with the team inactive.

The Jets elevated Sanders from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Sanders will once again be the Jets' primary kicker for the third consecutive week and is set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Lions. The 30-year-old has now expended all three of his practice squad elevations, meaning he will need to be signed to the Jets' active roster to kick for the team in Week 4 against the Bears.

Delpit (shoulder) said he will play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Delpit said he feels good enough to take the field in Sunday's game. The strong safety has been dealing with a shoulder injury he likely suffered in the Browns' Week 2 win over the Buccaneers. Delpit's presence means rookie second-rounder Emmanuel McNeil-Warren likely won't see many snaps in the contest.

Pierce (heel) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

A stint on IR requires a player to miss at least four games, but Pierce is expected to be sidelined for several weeks while rehabbing from a heel injury that he aggravated during the Colts' overtime loss to the Chiefs in Week 2. The good news for Pierce is that X-rays game back negative on the heel, but in his absence, the Colts will rely more heavily on Josh Downs, Keenan Allen, Darius Slayton and Tyler Warren in the passing game. In a corresponding move, Anthony Gould was signed from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster.

Flowers (hamstring) is expected to "test his injury" prior to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, and if he suits up he "will likely be on a pitch count," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Flowers was limited on Friday's injury report and given a questionable designation for Week 3, so the door is open for him to take the field Sunday in Brazil. However, it appears a final call on his availability will not be made until the Ravens release their inactives 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, and even if Flowers is active he may not handle a full complement of snaps. Rashod Bateman would be the favorite to pick up the Slack if Flowers is limited or unavailable altogether.

Mims (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Mims was a limited participant in all three practices and has a chance to return from a one-game absence due to a foot injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Chiefs. His status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Broncos announce their list of inactive players.

Thompson (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Thompson suffered a high-ankle sprain in the 35-13 victory over the Dolphins in Week 2. While nothing has been made official, an injury of this nature likely means he will miss more time moving ahead. The rookie appeared in both of the 49ers' games to begin the 2026 campaign, amassing four total tackles (one solo).

Cosmi (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Cosmi entered the league's five-step protocol after suffering a concussion during the Commanders' Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. The right guard was unable to be cleared by an independent neurologist, meaning he will be sidelined for Sunday's game. Andrew Wylie or Tanoa Togiai will likely start at right guard in Cosmi's absence.

Hutchins (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Hutchins appeared in both of the Patriots' first two games of the 2026 campaign, accumulating three total tackles. The rookie will now miss at least four games while tending to a knee injury. While Hutchins has played sparingly, his absence will still allow Gabe Jacas and Jose Ramirez to see a little more action.
