Smith (triceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Packers.

Smith logged a trio of full practices during Week 10 prep, and the 2023 first-rounder is trending toward being activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's contest. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a triceps injury that caused him to miss the Eagles' last five games. Smith's return would result in less defensive snaps being available for Joshua Uche and Jihaad Campbell.

Lucas (back) has been ruled out for Cleveland's game versus the Jets on Sunday.

Lucas popped up on the injury report Friday and will now be forced to miss his fourth game of the season. In his absence, KT Leveston should serve as the backup right tackle behind Jack Conklin.

The Cardinals signed Carter from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Arizona used up its third and final elevation for Carter this past Monday at Dallas, only for him to log no snaps on offense or special teams despite being active. Emari Demercado (15 touches, 40 percent snap share) and Bam Knight (11 touches, 57 percent snap share) ended up splitting the backfield reps, and with Trey Benson (knee) still on injured reserve, such a breakdown likely will continue Sunday at Seattle. As a result, Carter currently doesn't hold much sway in terms of fantasy.

Dimukeje (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Giants' game versus the Bears on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Dimukeje's absence doesn't come as a surprise, as he was previously listed as doubtful, and it's unclear when the 25-year-old picked up the injury. The team will be shorthanded at linebacker for Sunday's game, as Chauncey Golston (neck) has been ruled out as well.

Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks is aiming for his first game action since Week 7, when he injured his calf during a win at Arizona. He wasn't able to log more than a limited session this week, leaving his status for Week 10 up in the air. Fellow WRs Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Savion Williams (foot) also are questionable, while Christian Watson (knee) and Malik Heath (hip) don't have designations. It remains to be seen who among Golden, Wicks and Williams are available along with Romeo Doubs, Watson and Heath on Monday.

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

The move means Wright will serve as the Texans' starting placekicker against the Jaguars on Sunday due to the absence of Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). Wright has appeared in two regular-season games in 2025 between the Titans and Commanders, and he has connected on 87.5 percent of his field goals on 64 attempts during his six-year NFL career. Davis Mills will serve as the Texans' starting quarterback in Week 10 in the absence of C.J. Stroud (concussion), so Wright could have more field-goal opportunities assuming Houston's offense stalls out more often in opposing territory and the red zone.

Watson (knee) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game versus the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Even before making his season debut in Week 8 following last season's ACL tear from Week 18, Watson has been limited in practice, which extended into Saturday's session, but it won't impact his ability to suit up on game day. As for the rest of Green Bay's receiving corps, Romeo Doubs isn't injured, Malik Heath (hip) doesn't have a designation and all of Matthew Golden (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) are listed as questionable. Considering Watson definitely is available, he should be considered one of QB Jordan Love's top pass catchers for Week 10 action.

Golden (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Of the five Green Bay wide receivers on the Week 10 injury report, three of them are questionable, with Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) joining Golden, while Christian Watson (knee) and Malik Heath (hip) have no designations. At the very least, Romeo Doubs, Watson and Heath are slated to be available Monday, but Golden, who managed just one limited session (Thursday) this week, is "day-to-day," as coach Matt LaFleur told Hodkiewicz earlier Saturday. Golden's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Saints elevated Pettis to their active roster from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Pettis is set to make his season debut after signing with New Orleans' practice squad early last month. The 30-year-old is expected to serve as the team's punt returner in Sunday's matchup, replacing Rashid Shaheed, who was traded to the Seahawks earlier in the week.

Reed (thumb/wrist) has been ruled out for Seattle's game versus the Cardinals on Sunday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Reed had been on the injury report throughout the past two weeks but managed to be a full participant in all three practice sessions this week and wasn't listed on Friday's injury report. With the 32-year-old seemingly suffering a setback, Mike Morris will likely get more action at defensive end in his absence.
