Head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that Love (ankle) will take part in Wednesday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Love has missed the last two games due to a lingering ankle issue, which allowed Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight to split backfield reps during that span. More likely than not, Love will need to string together multiple practices in a row to put himself in a position to return to action this coming Sunday at Dallas.

The Browns waived Ryan on Monday.

The rookie tight end has appeared in all six games this season but has logged just two snaps on offense and 73 on special teams. He'll be a candidate for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Coker was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Coker previously dealt with ankle and quadriceps issues this season, so this is a new health concern for the third-year pro. While he dropped from 13 targets in a Week 6 win at Philadelphia to just four targets Sunday against the Buccaneers, he still ranked second in snap share (66 percent) among Carolina wide receivers behind Tetairoa McMillan (68 percent). Considering Coker logged a capped walkthrough Monday, he likely is on pace to play Thursday in Green Bay, but Wednesday's injury report will determine if he as a designation for that contest.

The Browns activated Gabriel (back) from injured reserve Monday.

Cleveland needed to make a decision on the quarterback after opening his 21-day practice window 20 days ago, so he'll now join the 53-man roster as one of the team's four quarterbacks. The Browns figure to make a move at the position in the near future, and perhaps they'll try to gauge trade interest in Gabriel.

Velling was cut from the Falcons' practice squad Monday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Velling went undrafted in 2026 but was eventually signed to the Falcons' practice squad. The rookie will presumably search for work with another NFL club, though he likely has a ways to go to get on the field during the regular season.

The Falcons signed Jenkins to the practice squad Monday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Jenkins was waived by the Eagles on Thursday, though it didn't take him long to find a new team, albeit as a member of the Falcons' practice squad. The 27-year-old appeared in 16 regular-season games for Philadelphia in the last three seasons but has only one catch during his career.

Ertz is not being elevated from the practice squad for Monday night's game against the Cowboys, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

With Philly's tight ends all healthy now, Ertz will remain glued to the practice squad for the second straight week. The veteran has appeared in three games this season, catching just three of eight targets for 22 empty yards. He doesn't appear to have much left in the tank at 35 years old.

The Eagles elevated Mitchell from the practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against Dallas.

Mitchell figures to operate as the RB3 behind Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Dameon Pierce. Mitchell has appeared in just one regular-season game since the 2023 season.

The Eagles activated Calcaterra (back) from injured reserve Monday.

Calcaterra has been cleared to play Monday night against Dallas, giving Philly another capable tight end behind Dallas Goedert. It's unclear how the playing time will shake out between blocker Johnny Mundt, catch-first rookie Eli Stowers and Calcaterra, but the Eagles could lean into the tight end-heavy sets with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) both ruled out.

According to head coach Shane Steichen, Walley did not return to Sunday's 16-10 loss to Minnesota due to a knee injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Walley exited the Week 7 meeting with the Vikings in the third quarter and did not return. Until there is a more definitive update on his condition, he should be considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jaguars. If Walley can't suit up for that contest, Cam Taylor-Britt (groin) and Kapena Gushiken are candidates for more snaps.
