Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Hobbs is expected to miss at least two games due to a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Ryan Woods of PackersNews.com reports.

The injury is not to the same knee that was surgically repaired during training camp, but Woods relays that Hobbs started to feel knee pain during the Packers' Week 4 tie against the Cowboys. He played just 21 snaps (19 on defense, two on special teams) during the Packers' 16-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday, and further tests on the knee revealed a Grade 1 sprain that will keep the fifth-year corner out for at least two games, though the injury isn't severe enough to require surgery. With Hobbs sidelined for Weeks 10 and 11, his next opportunity to play will be Week 12 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Head coach Sean McDermott was unable to provide a timeline on Strong's (neck) return Monday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Strong hasn't played since suffering a neck injury Week 4 against the Saints and will seemingly remain sidelined for an extended period of time. The rookie sixth-round pick recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) across four games before getting injured.

Mumpfield played 30 snaps on offense during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.

Despite another big day from Matthew Stafford (24-of-32 for 281 yards and four touchdowns), Tutu Atwell (hamstring) being out and Puka Nacua (chest) missing a chunk of the second half, Mumpfield failed to keep the momentum from his first NFL touchdown in Week 7 against the Jaguars in London. Mumpfield could find himself with a bigger role if Nacua's injury persists into a Week 10 divisional showdown with the 49ers, with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington also vying for additional playing time behind Davante Adams.

The Buccaneers designated Goedeke (foot) to return from injured reserve Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Goedeke has been sidelined since September with a foot injury but is now eligible to return to practice. Once healthy, the 26-year-old should resume his role as the starting right tackle, and the team will have 21 days to officially activate him off injured reserve.

Graham was removed from the exempt list Monday, making the 2010 first-rounder officially a member of the Eagles' 53-man roster, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Graham opted to come out of retirement to sign a one-year, $4.89 million contract with the Eagles on Oct. 23. With the Eagles coming out of the Week 9 bye, the veteran pass rusher is in line to make his 2025 regular-season debut Week 10 against the Packers next Monday night.

Fowler is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cardinals due to a shoulder injury, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Fowler suffered the injury on the opening drive of the game. The exact nature and severity of the issue are currently unclear.

The Bills reconstructed Johnson's (groin) contract Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

By converting Johnson's base salary into a signing bonus, the Bills have created an additional $1.75 million in salary cap space ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Johnson is working through a groin injury that prevented him from playing in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs. The veteran corner will look to progress enough in his recovery to be available for Week 10 against the Dolphins.

Head coach Dan Campbell said Paschal (undisclosed) is still a few weeks away from practicing, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.

Paschal is still recovering from the undisclosed injury that landed him on the reserve/non-football injury list back in August. Once healthy, the 25-year-old should contribute as a depth defender.

Latu had six total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.

Latu continues to excel in the pass rush, now having totaled 4.0 sacks in his last three games. He played on a season high 90.0 percent of the defense's snaps with the Colts playing from behind most of the game.

The Eagles signed Gray to the practice squad Monday.

Gray was let go by the Eagles with an injury settlement in early August due to a finger injury, but the 2022 third-rounder is now fully healthy and has reunited with Philadelphia as a member of the practice squad. Gray's only regular-season action in his NFL career came during his rookie campaign with the 49ers, when he registered one catch (on seven targets) for 10 yards and one carry for nine yards across 13 games.
