The Jets cut Williams from the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

The move makes room on the Jets' practice squad for fellow wide receiver Trenton Irwin. Williams joined the Jets' practice squad Oct. 3 and was elevated for Week 5 loss to the Cowboys, when he returned five kickoffs for 133 yards and four punts for 41 yards across 12 snaps on special teams. Williams should garner interest from teams looking for another return option on special teams.

The Jets signed Irwin to the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

The 29-year-old wideout out of Stanford was unable to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he'll get another opportunity with the Jets on the practice squad. Irwin has appeared in 41 regular-season games since 2019 (23 of which came in 2023 and 2024 when he was a member of the Bengals) and has accumulated 46 catches (on 72 targets) for 601 yards and five touchdowns in his NFL career.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that Moore is nursing a groin injury but has returned to Chicago after being hospitalized in Washington, D.C. overnight following Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The injury didn't cost Moore any extensive playing time Monday, with the wideout finishing the contest with three catches for 42 yards on five targets to go with two carries for 10 yards. The 28-year-old was nonetheless admitted to a local hospital after the game due to the injury, though he was held overnight merely for precautionary purposes. Johnson said that the Bears will continue to monitor Moore's status, but for now, the receiver still looks to have a chance at playing Week 7 against the Saints.

The Buccaneers cut Prieskorn from the practice squad Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

The move makes room on the Bucs' practice squad for running back Michael Wiley. Prieskorn -- an undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss -- will look to catch on with another team in need of tight end depth on the practice squad.

The Buccaneers signed Wiley to the practice squad Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Wiley was unable to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 24-year-old running back will get an opportunity on the Bucs' practice squad. He has not played in a single regular-season game since signing with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024.

The Titans placed Oladejo on injured reserve with a fractured leg Tuesday.

Oladejo suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but the injury isn't expected to be a season-ender for the second-round rookie, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Oladejo has produced 13 tackles (five solo) and a pair of QB hits on 61 percent of the defensive snaps off the edge for the Titans this season.

The Patriots cut Scott from the practice squad Tuesday.

Undrafted out of Ohio State earlier this year, Scott played 48 offensive snaps during the preseason but wasn't targeted in the passing game. He was replaced by fellow tight end Marshall Lang on New England's practice squad.

The Patriots signed Lang to the practice squad Tuesday.

Undrafted out of Northwestern earlier this year, Lang caught three passes for 20 yards during the preseason with the Seahawks. He'll provide positional depth in New England.

Austin (shoulder) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Still on the mend from the shoulder injury he sustained in a Week 4 win over the Vikings in Dublin, Austin has yet to resume practicing and appears to be trending toward missing a second straight game Thursday against the Bengals. While Austin was sidelined for this past Sunday's win over the Browns, Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson both benefited from upticks in playing time behind No. 1 wideout DK Metcalf but combined for just one reception.

Slay (rest) was limited in Tuesday's practice.

The Steelers have removed the shoulder issue from Slay's designation, so he appears to be past the injury. Slay has appeared in all five regular-season games this season, logging 19 tackles (17 solo), three pass breakups and one fumble recovery on 88 percent of the defensive snaps.
