Higbee caught all four of his targets for 22 yards during the Rams' 18-16 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Higbee was not targeted by Matthew Stafford until early in the fourth quarter, but the former fumbled the ball on his first catch of the game, which was recovered by the Cardinals' defense. Higbee saw three more passes from Stafford in the quarter, and Sunday's efforts snapped his three-game streak of 60-plus yards and five-plus catches. However, the Rams are expected to be without Davante Adams (hamstring) until at least after the Week 11 bye, so Higbee could be Stafford's secondary target in the passing game behind Puka Nacua for the next few games. The Rams hit the road for Week 7 on Oct. 25, against the Raiders, whose defense gives up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season.

Baltimore signed Moody to its practice squad Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Moody began the regular season on the Ravens' practice squad, but he was cut after Week 2, solidifying 2025 sixth-rounder Tyler Loop's position as the team's uncontested starting kicker. Loop missed his third field-goal try of the season during Sunday's game at Cleveland, and now Baltimore is bringing Moody back as competition, signaling Loop might be on the hot seat in the coming weeks.

Turpin (ribs) is expected to miss the team's Week 7 matchup with the Eagles, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Turpin suffered an injury to his ribs on the opening kickoff during the team's loss to the Packers on Sunday night. The wide receiver now appears to be on track to miss at least one game while recovering from the injury. His absence would primarily impact the team on special teams versus Philadelphia.

Monangai (thumb/toe) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

After missing the last two games due to thumb and turf toe injuries, Monangai wasn't able to participate in Monday's walkthrough, indicating that a third straight absence is possible this week. Head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com on Friday that Monangai remains week-to-week but will avoid injured reserve, so if the running back is inactive Thursday against the Patriots, he may be aiming to return in Week 8 at Seattle on Monday, Nov. 2. As long as Monangai is sidelined, D'Andre Swift will lead the Bears backfield, with Roschon Johnson in a complemtary role.

Ford (triceps) will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reported Monday.

Ford suffered a season-ending triceps injury in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. The defensive tackle signed a three-year, $27.6 million contract with the Rams in March of 2025 and was set to continue as a pivotal part of the team's pass rush throughout 2026. Ford finished his season with 15 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed over six games, logging no sacks.

Meiga was cut from the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Meiga joined Seattle's practice squad Sept. 23, but he failed to be elevated to the active roster for any contests while with the squad. The wide receiver will now likely have to settle for a practice squad spot with whatever squad he joins next.

Vele caught three of six targets for 42 yards during the Saints' 34-27 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Vele was on the field for 66 of the Saints' 70 offensive snaps (94.3 percent), which was well ahead of fellow wideouts Chris Olave (42) and rookie Bryce Lance (36). Vele has seen at least six targets in each of the first six games of the regular season, and his 28-294-2 receiving line (on 43 targets) already surpasses his total across 13 regular-season games in 2025 (25-293-2 on 40 targets). Given his his snap count, it wouldn't be surprising if Vele maintains his role on the offense even if Jordyn Tyson (hamstring, IR) returns, which could come as soon as Week 7 against the Steelers on Oct. 25, in Paris.

Doubs (shoulder) is hopeful to return after the Patriots' Week 11 bye and isn't expected to face a long-term absence, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

With Doubs already on injured reserve, this report offers a more encouraging timeline after Sunday's shoulder injury. He'll still need to miss at least four games, but a possible return after the bye would keep the Patriots from being without one of their key wide receivers for an extended stretch. Efton Chism and Kyle Williams will be in line for increased snaps alongside A.J. Brown and slot man DeMario Douglas with Doubs sidelined.

The Raiders cut Myarick from the practice squad Monday.

Myarick was elevated for two games in 2026, logging eight offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps without appearing in any box scores. The tight end remains a free agent able to sign with any franchise's active roster or practice squad.

Lance caught two of four passes for nine yards and a touchdown during the Saints' 34-27 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Lance's four targets were tied with Alvin Kamara for third-most on the Saints behind Chris Olave (seven) and Devaughn Vele (six), with quarterback Tyler Shough completing only 16 of 30 passes. Both of Lance's catches came in the second quarter, the second of which was a two-yard touchdown pass that tied the game up at 10-10 with five seconds left in the first half. Lance's 36 offensive snaps were third-most among New Orleans wide receivers, but his time as the team's WR3 could come to an end as soon as Week 7 against the Steelers on Oct. 25, given that rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson (hamstring, IR) is traveling with the team to Paris, per NewOrleans.football.
