The Titans placed Wilson (undisclosed) on the team's practice squad/injured list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Wilson will now be ineligible for elevation to the active roster for the final four games of the season. In a corresponding move, the Titans signed free agent tight end Cole Turner to replace Wilson as an eligible depth tight end on the practice squad.

The Titans signed Turner to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The signing marks Turner's first contract of the regular season after he was waived by the Commanders on Aug. 26. The tight end will be a reserve piece for the Titans, being available for elevation to the active roster behind starters Gunnar Helm, Chig Okonkwo and David Martin-Robinson.

The Giants officially designated Green (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Green's 21-day practice window is now open, and if the Giants do not move him to the active roster in that span, he will need to remain on IR the rest of the season. The cornerback was unable to return to the Week 8 loss to the Eagles after suffering a hamstring injury on a special teams play. Green played 166 special teams snaps through eight games this season, logging six tackles (three solo) before succumbing to a hamstring injury. His return would give the Giants more depth on special teams as they close out the season.

Peat (concussion) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Peat suffered a concussion against the Ravens in Week 14 and was unable to return to the game. The starting left tackle has entered the league's concussion protocol and will need to clear the five steps the league has in place to have a chance to suit up for Monday's game. The good news is that the long week gives the 11-year veteran a Saturday practice, maximizing his recovery potential before the game.

Anderson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Anderson has been available for just one game this season and will miss yet another contest in Week 15. As the lead depth option behind starting tackles Andrus Peat and Troy Fautanu, the 29-year-old cannot stay on the field as he battles a persistent knee injury. This absence may be more significant, as Peat (concussion) is also questionable for Monday's game.

The Giants utilized a return designation for Ezeudu (calf) Aug. 27, and he seems ready to return to the practice field, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Absent with an undisclosed injury all season, Ezeudu is revealed to have worked his way back from a calf injury that had plagued him since late August. James Hudson has operated the whole year as the top reserve option at left tackle behind Andrew Thomas. The health and availability of Ezeudu could add further depth to the Giants' offensive line situation.

The Giants officially designated Muasau (ankle) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Muasau's 21-day practice window is now open, and if the Giants do not move him to the active roster in that span, he will need to remain on IR the rest of the season. The linebacker suffered an ankle injury in the Giants' Week 9 loss to the 49ers, leaving Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles with more snaps at inside linebacker. The 2024 sixth-round pick could return as early as Week 15 against the Commanders.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Metcalf's (stomach) availability for the team's Week 15 game against the Dolphins to be in any peril, though the wideout's practice reps could be affected, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Following a stellar outing in the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Ravens in which he caught seven of 12 targets for a season-high 148 receiving yards, Metcalf was admitted to a Baltimore-area hospital when he reported stomach pain on the team flight. Metcalf's stomach discomfort appeared to stem from a hard shot he took during Sunday's game, but a significant internal injury was seemingly ruled out following his hospital stay. Tomlin intimated that Metcalf will open Week 15 prep as a limited participant, but the early expectation is that he'll be cleared to handle his usual duties as the Steelers' No. 1 receiver by the time Monday's game arrives.

The Buccaneers placed Bredeson (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Bredeson left last Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Saints early with a knee injury and did not return. The offensive guard will now have to miss the remainder of the regular season as part of the minimum four-game IR stint before potentially being able to return to the Buccaneers in January if they make the postseason. Michael Jordan is set to start at left guard in Bredeson's absence.

McFadden started running on the field last week as he makes his way back from Lisfranc surgery for the foot injury he suffered in Week 1, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

McFadden could potentially return to practice this week, marking the first practice for the linebacker since he suffered his injury in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. It's unclear how far the linebacker has to progress to make his return before the season's end, but things appear to be trending up for the 2022 fifth-round pick.
