The Commanders waived Moore on Saturday.

Moore was activated off the practice squad early in the season but has had a minimal role for the Commanders' offense, going without a target in four of the last five games. With fellow wide receiver Noah Brown being activated off injured reserve and both Terry McLaurin and Treylon Burks healthy, the 32-year-old Moore had a diminishing role in the offense.

The Texans signed Mills to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

Mills had already been elevated the maximum three times, so signing him to the active roster was the only way he could play in another game. The 22-year-old should help provide extra depth at safety, as Jaylen Reed (forearm) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

The Texans placed Reed (forearm) on injured reserve Saturday.

Reed will be forced to miss at least four games after breaking a metal plate in his forearm during the team's Week 13 win over the Colts. With the 22-year-old sidelined, Jalen Pitre is expected to shift over to safety alongside Calen Bullock, while Myles Bryant should fill in as the starting slot cornerback.

The Eagles have ruled out Carter (shoulder) for Week 14.

Carter did not participate in practice this week after undergoing procedures on both of his shoulders Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He also reported the third-year pro is currently considered week-to-week and is expected to be ready in time for a possible playoff run. The 24-year-old has 32 tackles (20 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses. Byron Young figures to benefit from Carter's absence, along with defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo.

Heyward (lower leg) has been ruled out for Cincinnati's matchup versus the Bills on Sunday.

Heyward was designated to return from injured reserve, but the team will wait at least one more week before officially activating him. Sunday's game will mark the 25-year-old's fifth consecutive absence, but he'll aim to be good to go for the Week 15 matchup versus Baltimore.

Phillips (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Week 14 against the Chargers.

Phillips cleared concussion protocol and was a full participant in the team's practice Friday, meaning he is ready to play Monday versus the Chargers. In four games since being traded to the Eagles, the 26-year-old has recorded 15 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.

Tuttle (concussion) won't play in Tennessee's matchup versus the Browns on Sunday.

Tuttle was a full participant in practice throughout the week but was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's game. The 30-year-old will now aim to make his return during the Week 15 matchup versus the 49ers, where he would resume his role as a depth defender.

Baun (hand) does not carry an injury designation for Week 14.

Baun was listed as a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday with a hand injury. However, he was listed as a full participant Saturday and is ready for Monday night's game against the Chargers. The 28-year-old has 96 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 12 games this season.

Brooks (concussion) is good to go for Tennessee's matchup versus the Browns on Sunday.

Brooks has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol after having been a full participant in practice throughout the week. The 25-year-old missed the team's last two games but should resume his role as a special teamer during Sunday's game.

The Vikings have ruled out Chandler (knee) for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Since Minnesota designated Chandler for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he followed an LP/FP/FP practice regimen before the team considered him questionable for Week 14 action. Now that he's officially unavailable Sunday, the Vikings will continue to roll with the RB trio of Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott. Chandler's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 14 at Dallas.
