The Packers waived Jones (undisclosed) from injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones reverted to the Packers' injured reserve Aug. 10 after being waived with an injury designation. The cornerback likely wishes to join another franchise in 2026, leading to an injury settlement with the team. Once Jones recovers from his undisclosed injury, he will be set to join another franchise.

Johnson caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.

The rookie running back didn't handle a single rushing attempt behind Kenneth Walker's 22 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson still played 17 offensive snaps and remains the clear backup and bench stash to own in fantasy should something ever happen to Walker.

Reed reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Reed played 10 of Carolina's 75 offensive snaps in Week 4, and he could not haul in his only target during Sunday's 32-26 win versus the Lions. Whether he's elevated again in Week 6 following the Panthers' bye could depend on the availability of Jalen Coker (quadriceps).

Matthews (groin) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Matthews exited Monday's contest in the first quarter with a groin injury. The left tackle promptly returned to the game and was blocking for Bijan Robinson on his second touchdown of the night near the end of the first quarter. In his absence, Michael Jerrell has replaced Matthews on the offensive line.

Dulcich played 20 offensive snaps but didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Dolphins' 15-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Dulcich and Malik Willis connected on five catches on seven targets for 55 yards against the Chiefs in Week 3, but the duo failed to link up with each other during Sunday's loss. It was the first time since Week 8 of the 2025 season that Dulcich failed to record a target, and perhaps more notably, his 20 offensive snaps were behind rookie third-round tight end Will Kacmarek's 24. The Dolphins will head back to Miami to host the Bengals for Week 5.

Henry was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Henry has spent the entirety of the 2026 campaign on the practice squad with Washington so far, but he will now get a chance with Seattle's active roster. The running back will provide the team with an additional depth option behind Emanuel Wilson and George Holani while Zach Charbonnet (knee) works his way back from the PUP list and Jadarian Price (chest) is on injured reserve. Seattle also signed veteran Joe Mixon to the practice squad Monday, so there are many moving parts for the team at running back right now.

Davis played just two offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

With Breece Hall (thigh) inactive, Braelon Allen ended up playing 32 of 34 offensive snaps out of the backfield for the Jets, leaving no room for Davis. He can continue to be ignored in most fantasy formats.

Coach Dave Canales said Monday that Ekwonu (knee) is still a considerable time away from returning to action, Mike Kaye of ESPN reports.

Ekwonu was placed on the Panthers' reserve/PUP list prior to the start of the regular season, as he was still recovering from the ruptured patellar tendon he suffered during the Panthers' wild-card loss against the Rams last postseason, and there's no indication at this point that he's nearing a return. With rookie first-rounder Monroe Freeling now dealing with a knee issue, Stone Forsythe could be called upon to start at right tackle for the Panthers in Week 6 after their bye in Week 5.

Smith (thumb) was a limited participant in Monday's estimated practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Smith was cleared to return to practice Monday after spending the first four weeks of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve. The offensive guard was limited in his first session back and has three full weeks to upgrade to a full participant before he will be forced to return to the active roster or miss the remainder of the 2026 season.

Jennings caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Dolphins.

Despite Justin Jefferson (ankle) missing Sunday's game, Jennings remained a non-factor on offense, as he took a distant back seat to all three of T.J. Hockenson, Jordan Addison and Aaron Jones. Jennings has two catches for nine yards on four targets across 152 offensive snaps through three games this season. He's well off the fantasy radar.
