Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bears.

Goedert was unable to practice all week due to an MCL sprain that he sustained during the Eagles' Week 2 win over the Titans. Zach Ertz was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday, and he figures to be elevated to the active roster for Monday's game and provide depth at tight end behind Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins. Goedert's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Rams on Sunday, Oct. 4, though he should be considered week-to-week.

The Rams elevated Connors from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With No. 3 running back Ronnie Rivers (calf) moving to IR, Connors will be the primary depth option behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum for Sunday's contest. The undrafted free agent out of Houston will be suiting up for his NFL debut, though it is uncertain if the 23-year-old will receive any snaps or carries in the showdown with the Broncos.

O'Connell (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

O'Connell is in the midst of an ongoing personal matter that will have him sidelined for consecutive weeks. It remains to be seen how much longer the reserve quarterback will be out. Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza will once again be the only two active quarterbacks on game day.

Stevenson (hamstring) is does not have any injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles.

Stevenson upgraded his participation level each day of the Bears' Week 3 prep. The cornerback went from a non-participant Thursday to a full participant in Saturday's session. Stevenson is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest as the starting outside cornerback opposite Jaylon Johnson.

Santos (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles.

Santos popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to a right hip issue, but he was a full participant in Saturday's session and has been cleared to play Monday night. He's gone 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 8-for-8 on extra-point tries through the first two games of the regular season.

Bagent (concussion) was a full participant in Saturday's practice but is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles.

Bagent progressed enough through the league's concussion protocol to participate in Saturday's practice without limitations. However, he'll need to be symptom free over the next couple of days and pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist before being cleared to play. Caleb Williams (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so if Bagent cannot play, then Case Keenum would be the Bears' starting quarterback Monday.

Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles.

As expected, Williams will not be active for Monday Night Football due to a right hamstring injury he sustained during the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Vikings. Tyson Bagent was a full participant in Saturday's practice but is listed as questionable, as he's still in the league's concussion protocol. If Bagent is unable to play, then Case Keenum would serve as the Bears' starting QB for Week 3. Williams' next opportunity to play is Week 4 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 4.

The Cowboys signed Barron from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Barron was elevated to the active roster for the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the Commanders. The linebacker played one defensive snap and 20 special teams snaps in the contest. Barron will likely continue in his role as a special-teamer while on the 53-man roster. Free safety P.J. Locke (foot) was moved to IR in a corresponding move.

The Cowboys placed Locke (foot) on injured reserve Saturday.

Locke has not practiced since sustaining a foot injury in the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the Commanders. The free safety must now miss at least four games on IR before becoming eligible to return to the team's active roster. While Locke is absent, Marquese Bell will likely start at free safety alongside strong safety Jalen Thompson.

Pace (personal) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

A personal issue appears to have arisen for Pace in the lead-up to Sunday's contest. If the matter cannot be resolved before the showdown with the Buccaneers, Jake Golday is set to be the sole reserve inside linebacker for the Panthers in Sunday's game.
