Adams (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

As a result, Adams is slated to miss at least four games, although Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously suggested that the wideout was hoping to return not too long after the Rams' Week 11 bye. In his absence, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwellare candidates to see added looks behind top WR Puka Nacua.

McNichols accrued five rushes for 13 yards during Monday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers.

With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) sidelined, the Commanders turned to Rachaad White to do most of the heavy lifting at the running back position. McNichols, who was activated from injured reserve ahead of the Week 6 meeting with the 49ers after missing the first five games of the 2026 campaign, logged 12 offensive snaps, five more than Austin Ekeler (seven). However, neither McNichols nor Ekeler got anything going, with both players combining for six carries. With Croskey-Merritt now on injured reserve, there is room for others to step up, though it's likely White will remain the workhorse, with Ekeler and McNichols getting the leftover scraps.

Monangai (thumb/toe) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through.

Monangai also logged a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. If Monangai remains sidelined Thursday versus New England, Roschon Johnson would be in line to see added backfield work once again behind D'Andre Swift.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell stated Kerby (knee) "is in a good headspace" and expects the 25-year-old to play at some point this season, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Joseph has been sidelined for over a year after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 6 meeting with the Chiefs during the 2025 campaign. While there was hope he would be ready to get back on the field early in the 2026 season, he remains on the reserve/PUP list. With Kerby still out of commission, Chuck Clark is projected to continue handling most of the work at free safety for the foreseeable future.

The Eagles have waived Blue.

In addition to Blue being let go Tuesday, the Eagles waived Carson Steele (undisclosed) with an injury designation, while Elijah Mitchell was signed to the team's practice squad. For now, Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Dameon Pierce are the only two running backs on Philadelphia's active roster.

McManus is slated to sign with the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

With Blake Grupe having landed on IR, the Rams are brining McManus in to fill the void at kicker ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. McManus thus represents an option for those who had rostered Grupe or are otherwise looking for a kicking help ahead of Week 7, with four teams on bye.

Brown (ankle) was spotted on the practice field Tuesday, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Brown, who returned from a four-game absence this past Sunday against the Jets, was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. It remains to be seen how the Patriots list his Tuesday participation level, but at this stage there's no reason to believe that the wideout's availability for Thursday night's game against the Bears is in any danger.

Coach Dan Quinn noted Tuesday that McLaurin tore his left patellar tendon during Monday's loss to the 49ers, according to John Keim of ESPN.com.

With McLaurin done for the season as the result of the injury, Stefon Diggs profiles as the Commanders' top wideout going forward. Also in the mix to see added reps in McLaurin's absence are Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey. Additionally, the team could look add depth at the position in the coming days. McLaurin, who is under contract with Washington through 2028, faces a lengthy recovery in in the coming months. Prior to sustaining his injury, McLaurin logged a team-high 230 receiving yards on 15 receptions (27 targets) with a TD over the course of five games.

Cisse, who suffered a stinger during Sunday night's win over the Cowboys, indicated Tuesday that he's fine as this weekend's contest against the Lions approaches, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Cisse played 54 of a possible 78 snaps on defense, en route to recording four tackles and a pick. Assuming no setbacks, the 2026 second-rounder is in line to occupy starting cornerback slot this weekend opposite Keisean Nixon.

The Bengals have signed Kattus to their practice squad.

Kattus had been waived by the Bengals on Aug. 30, but the 6-foot-4, 247-pounder is now back with the team after not catching on elsewhere since then. In the process, the Kentucky product will provide added tight end depth behind Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Erick All and Jack Endries.
