Kelly (knee) had a workout with the Falcons on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Kelly ruptured his patella tendon in early December last year while playing for the Raiders. The Stanford product was subsequently placed on IR, and Las Vegas did not tender him during the offseason. Kelly appears to be recovered from the injury and is seeking another opportunity. Before getting hurt last season, he had emerged with a career-high three interceptions and six total defensed passes along with 40 tackles over 13 contests.

The Dolphins hosted Voorhis for a workout Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Jets waived Vorrhis from injured reserve with an injury settlement Aug. 26. The defensive end has recovered from his undisclosed issue and is looking to make his NFL debut in 2026. The undrafted free agent out of Ball State could provide additional depth to the Dolphins' defensive line from the practice squad.

Engram failed to haul in his two targets during the Broncos' 30-26 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Although he wasn't listed as a starter, Engram's 40 offensive snaps led all Broncos tight ends, including Adam Trautman (27). That's little comfort to those expecting Engram to at least see some involvement in the offense, with the veteran tight end sporting a 5-60-1 receiving line on eight targets through the first three games of the regular season. He's recorded at least 60 targets in each of his first nine NFL seasons, though he's well behind pace to meet that mark in 2026. Perhaps Engram's fortune will be better in Week 4 against the 49ers, whose defense gave up nine catches (on 11 targets) for 75 yards to Trey McBride in a Week 3 win over the Cardinals.

Watts (undisclosed) worked out for the Patriots on Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Watts was waived from IR by the Jets with an injury settlement in mid-August and appears to have since recovered from the issue that was affecting him. The defensive end is now looking for a new opportunity after spending the first two years of his career with the Jets, tallying 23 tackles over 18 regular-season games.

TeSlaa caught all three of his targets for 66 yards in the Lions' 31-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Detroit's third receiver, TeSlaa played 48 percent of the offensive snaps against New York but made the most of his opportunities and ended up leading the team in receiving yards. With Jameson Williams continuing to struggle to get going early in the season, TeSlaa could start earning a couple more looks from Jared Goff. It's still unlikely to be enough to put TeSlaa in the redraft fantasy mix unless one of Williams or Amon-Ra St. Brown misses time with an injury.

Flournoy caught just two of eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens.

Flournoy logged 66 percent of the offensive snaps against Baltimore, and his eight targets were good for second on the team and a respectable 20 percent share. He obviously was unable to do much with them against a stingy Ravens secondary. Flournoy has a valuable role as the third receiver in a Dallas offense that likes to use plenty of 11 personnel, but he'd likely need an injury to CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens to become anything more than a bench stash in fantasy.

The Bills released Mathis on Tuesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Mathis was reinstated to the Bills' active roster Monday after serving his three-game suspension, but the 2022 second-rounder will not be a member of the team's 53-man roster moving forward. He could remain in Buffalo on the practice squad, but Mathis will have the opportunity to explore his options and should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to the defensive line.

The Patriots placed Van Roten (thigh) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Van Roten sustained a thigh injury during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars in Week 3. The injury is severe enough for him to miss at least the next four games, so the earliest he can return is for Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1. With both Van Roten and Mike Onwenu (ankle) on IR, the Patriots will turn to either Ben Brown or Walter Rouse to serve as the starting right guard for Week 4 against the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

The Titans placed Slater (foot) on their injured reserve list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Slater sustained a serious foot injury during Sunday's game against the Giants, and his immediate backup, Fernando Carmona (ankle), was also hurt badly when he stepped into Slater's place. Both will have to miss at least Tennessee's next four games, potentially leaving free-agent acquisition Atonio Mafi or rookie sixth-rounder Pat Coogan as starting options at right guard.

The Dolphins signed Ester to the practice squad Tuesday.

The Dolphins waived Ester from injured reserve with an injury settlement Aug. 27. The offensive guard has recovered from his undisclosed issue and has rejoined the team on the practice squad.
