Kmet was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice due to ankle and knee injuries.

Kmet is tending to a pair of injuries after he played 48 of 66 offensive snaps and finished with two catches for 28 yards on four targets in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He'll have two more practices to prove his health in advance of this Saturday's game against the Packers, but the fact that he's being listed as limited rather than a non-participant on the Bears' initial Week 16 report suggests he's on track to play.

The Steelers cut Plumlee from the practice squad Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

With Aaron Rodgers past his wrist issue, Plumlee is no longer needed as depth behind Rodgers, Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard. The 24-year-old Plumlee has never appeared in a regular-season NFL contest.

Harvey didn't return to Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers after sustaining a rib injury on his final carry with 6:31 remaining in the fourth quarter, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.

Denver had labeled Harvey as questionable to return following the two-minute warning, but the rookie tailback ultimately didn't check back into the game for any of the Broncos' final four offensive plays. Head coach Sean Payton didn't provide many details on Harvey's health following the contest, but the Broncos' decision to claim another running back (Cody Schrader) off waivers from the Texans on Monday could be an indication that Harvey is dealing with more than a minor injury concern. Denver will hold its first Week 16 practice Wednesday, when more information should be available regarding Harvey's status for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Tyree (undisclosed) worked out for the Steelers on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Tyree went undrafted out of Notre Dame earlier this year and signed with the Saints. However, he was injured early on during training camp and eventually cut with an injury settlement. Tyree is still waiting to make his regular-season NFL debut.

The Bengals claimed Williams off waivers Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Williams was cut by the division-rival Steelers on Monday and quickly lands on his feet as a potential replacement for Charlie Jones (ankle) after he was injured in the Bengals' Week 15 loss to the Ravens. Williams played just nine offensive snaps across eight games with the Steelers but did handle 18 kickoff returns for 425 yards and 11 punt returns for 112 yards.

The Broncos cut McCormick from the practice squad Tuesday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

McCormick was signed to the practice squad last week, but his tenure is over after the Broncos claimed Cody Schrader off waivers from the Texans on Monday. After producing a 39-183-0 rushing line across five games as a rookie with the Raiders last season, McCormick has yet to appear in a regular-season contest in 2025.

The Titans placed Woods (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Woods sustained a hamstring injury in the Titans' Week 15 loss to the 49ers, and the injury was deemed severe enough for him to be placed on IR. The four-week minimum for players placed on IR means that the safety's season is over. Kendell Brooks is currently listed as the starting free safety, but new addition Erick Hallett, recently signed from the Lions' practice squad, could also see a role in the Titans' secondary as the year ends.

The Titans placed Winston (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Winston suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of last Sunday's loss to the 49ers and was unable to return to the contest. With the movement to IR, the slot cornerback's season is done, as the four-week minimum period will include the end of the regular season. Marcus Harris will likely finish out the season as the slot cornerback for the Titans' defense.

The Texans signed Jordan off their practice squad Tuesday.

Houston still had the ability to elevate Jordan from the practice squad on two more occasions, but the Texans evidently didn't want to risk him getting poached by another team following his impressive showing in his NFL debut during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. With Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest and with Woody Marks (ankle) missing the entire second half, Jordan stepped in and carried the ball 15 times for 101 yards to go with two receptions for 17 yards. Jordan should have at least a small role in the game plan in Week 16 against the Raiders if at least one of Chubb and Marks misses the contest, though head coach DeMeco Ryans already suggested Monday that Marks wasn't expected to miss additional time. If both Marks and Chubb are available, Jordan might be inactive for Week 16, since fellow depth backs Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are both core special-teams contributors.

The Titans placed Brown (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Brown was injured in Sunday's Week 15 loss to the 49ers and will now miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The 26-year-old safety wraps up his campaign having appeared in nine games (zero starts) and finishes with three tackles (three solo) across four defensive snaps and another 191 on special teams. Brown is currently scheduled to be a restricted free agent during the offseason.
