San Francisco defensive coordinator Raheem Morris said Monday that Bosa (knee) will play in Thursday's Week 1 matchup against the Rams, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bosa has been continuing the rehab on his right knee after undergoing surgery for a torn ACL last September. The star edge rusher traveled with the 49ers to Melbourne, Australia, ahead of Thursday's season opener, but his status had been uncertain entering the week. Morris seemed to confirm that Bosa will play while speaking to reporters in Melbourne on Tuesday (local time), saying of Bosa, "Oh, he's going out there. Whatever you want to say, he's going. He'll be there. We're not hiding that."

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for New England's matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reprots.

Brown was part of the team's roster cuts last month but eventually re-signed with them a day later. Once healthy, he will serve as the Patriots' backup center behind Jared Wilson.

Thompson (undisclosed) was a participant in Monday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Thompson has returned to practice after missing the last two weeks with an undisclosed issue. It remains to be seen what practice and game-day designation the wide receiver will receive Wednesday, but there is a chance the fourth-round rookie could suit up for Sunday's opener against the Cardinals.

Miller (undisclosed) was moved to the practice-squad injured list by the Lions on Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The offensive tackle will not be able to practice with the team for the next four weeks. After that, he can return if he's healthy enough to do so. Miller spent the 2025 campaign on Detroit's practice squad.

Barmore (knee) was a full participant in New England's practice Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Barmore missed Sunday's practice due to a knee injury but has seemingly moved past it. The 2021 second-round pick is once again expected to serve as one of the Patriots' starting defensive linemen once the regular season begins.

Bachie moved up from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The linebacker spent training camp and the preseason with the Lions, got released on cutdown day and then signed to the practice squad. His promotion should be an indication that he'll at least play a special-teams role in Week 1 against the Saints. Bachie has played on more than 200 special-teams snaps in each of the last three NFL seasons.

Smith is set to undergo surgery on his injured thumb, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Smith is expected to miss four to six weeks and will likely land on injured reserve within the coming days. In the 25-year-old's absence, T.J. Bass will serve as Dallas' starting left guard to open up the regular season.

Gwyn will be the starting center for the Ravens' Week 1 contest with the Colts.

The 2023 Falcons' seventh-rounder was drafted as a rotational guard/center, but did not find much action in the NFL. The Ravens lost Tyler Linderbaum in the offseason to the Raiders and needed a new center to protect Lamar Jackson and block for Derrick Henry. Gwyn will need to gather offensive experience fast, as he is thrust into the flames of an offense set for perennial Super Bowl contention.

Harrison (hamstring) participated in Miami's practice Monday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Harrison is healthy again after sitting out the team's preseason finale due to a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old is expected to serve as a depth linebacker once the regular season gets underway.

Booker (groin) took part in practice Monday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

The defensive end suffered a groin injury during an Aug. 20 joint practice with the Bengals, didn't practice for the rest of training camp and then was considered "week-to-week," per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. Booker's return to practice Monday is a step in the right direction ahead of Chicago's season opener against Carolina on Sept. 13.
