Epenesa (back) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Dallas.

Epenesa has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a back injury. The veteran linebacker has four tackles (two solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games and has contributed on both defense and special teams.

The Seahawks activated Bradford (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, and he does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bradford has been given the green light to return from a five-game absence due to a knee injury. He should reclaim his starting spot at right guard for Sunday night's game.

Mays (wrist) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and no longer has an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Mays has fully recovered from a fractured wrist that caused him to start the regular season on injured reserve. He should take over for Juice Scruggs as the Lions' starting center for Sunday's NFC North tilt.

The Panthers activated Martin-Scott (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he no longer carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Martin-Scott has been cleared to make his 2026 regular-season debut after fully recovering from a hamstring injury that he sustained during training camp in late August. The South Carolina product mostly served on special teams during his rookie year in 2025, finishing with 21 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games. Martin-Scott's return gives the Panthers another contributor on special teams and more depth in the linebacker corps.

The Panthers placed Incoom (calf) on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Incoom's calf injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As such, the Central Michigan product will be required to miss at least four games, so the next time he can suit up is Week 11 against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 22. Bam Martin-Scott was activated from IR in a corresponding move.

The Cardinals waived Williams on Saturday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Williams was set to return from a one-game absence after exiting the league's concussion protocol, but the Cardinals have instead decided to move on from the undrafted rookie. Williams will go on waivers, but there's a chance he'll stay with the Cardinals on the practice squad if he does not get claimed by another team. He's seen work on both defense and special teams, logging seven tackles (four solo) and one pass defense across five regular-season games.

Terrell (back) is now recovering from an illness ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Terrell is still listed as questionable, but he now has to overcome an illness as well as a back injury in order to be available for Sunday's home contest. His absence would mean less depth in the secondary for the Falcons, although the team got reinforcements thanks to the activation of A.J. Terrell (groin) from injured reserve.

The Falcons placed Jerrell (biceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Jerrell was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a biceps injury. He's now required to miss at least four games, so the next time he's eligible to play is Week 12 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 29. Jerrell's absence leaves the Falcons with less depth on the offensive line.

The Rams elevated Kendricks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

It's the first time that Kendricks has been elevated to the Rams' active roster this season. He'll be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders and is expected to start at inside linebacker in replacement of the injured Nate Landman (concussion), per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Kendricks spent the last few weeks of the 2025 campaign with the 49ers and appeared in three regular-season games, logging six tackles (three solo) in that span.

The Seahawks signed Charles off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Charles played 15 snaps on special teams and logged one tackle in Week 6 against the Broncos, when he was a member of the Seahawks' practice squad. He's now on the 53-man roster and should continue to contribute mostly on special teams while providing some depth at the wide receiver position.
