The Lions signed Carter to the practice squad Monday.

Carter played four games with the Browns in 2025 before succumbing to a knee injury but did not log any offensive snaps in the contests. The wide receiver played 31 special-teams snaps over the healthy span and will likely fill a similar role for the Lions if he is ever elevated to the active roster.

Acker was signed to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Acker will head to Seattle after being cut by the Bills in late August. The undrafted free agent played both fullback and tight end at Wisconsin during his collegiate career, and he may be considered more valuable at the later with tight end Elijah Arroyo (shoulder) set to miss some action moving forward.

Estime turned nine carries into 19 yards and a touchdown during the Browns' 13-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

The Browns were without Quinshon Judkins (foot), Raheim Sanders (hip, IR) and Dylan Sampson (knee, IR) on Sunday, so Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin were the leaders of Cleveland's backfield. Estime and McLaughlin each had nine carries, but it was the former that logged a two-yard rushing touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to tie the game up at 10-10. Estime's 19 offensive snaps were nearly half of McLaughlin (39), but both of their roles would shrink significantly if Judkins is cleared to return for Week 7 against the Titans on Oct. 25.

The Bills signed White to the practice squad Monday, Maddy Glabb of the team's official site reports.

White turned down multiple opportunities to return to Buffalo. The former star takes the place of cornerback A.J. Woods on the practice squad, where White will start until he can seize an opportunity with the active roster. With second-year cornerback Maxwell Hairston continuing to struggle in coverage, White may have a quick path to game-day snaps.

Andrews caught one of three targets for four yards during the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Andrews saw only three pass attempts from Tyler Huntley on Sunday, and it was the first time that the veteran tight end saw less than five targets this season. Andrews' 41 offensive snaps were most among Ravens tight ends, but his receiving line was below rookie fifth-rounder Josh Cuevas (4-44-1 on five targets). Baltimore will head back home for Week 7 against the Bengals on Oct. 25, and Andrews' scoring floor would be boosted if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is cleared to return from a two-game absence.

Deguara was signed to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Deguara was released from the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday, but he has now quickly found another opportunity with Seattle. The 29-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option at tight end while Elijah Arroyo (shoulder) is set to miss some time moving forward.

Winters sprained his Achilles during Sunday night's game against the Packers and will likely miss at least a week, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Winters suffered a strained Achilles in the second quarter of Sunday night's contest and did not return. The linebacker will likely miss the Cowboys' Week 7 game against the Eagles due to the injury and could be out longer.

Overshown (hamstring) is on track to play in Week 7 against the Eagles, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Overshown has been unavailable since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1 versus the Giants, but director of player personnel Stephen Jones said Monday that the linebacker has a "great chance" to play in Week 7. Overshown compiled 28 total tackles (15 solo) over six regular-season games in 2025, and he'll have a chance to provide a big boost to a struggling Dallas defense.

Gordon posted four solo tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles during the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Gordon was cleared to make his 2026 debut Sunday after fully recovering from a calf injury stemming from the offseason. He played only 17 of 46 defensive snaps (41.5 percent), but he was the most impactful Bears defender. Two of his three sacks on Michael Penix resulted in fumbles, the second of which was recovered by Chicago late in the fourth quarter to seal the win. The Bears will operate on short rest in their Week 7 tilt against the Patriots on Thursday, so it wouldn't be surprising if Gordon operates under a snap count for at least one more game.

Owens (hamstring is active for Monday night's game against the 49ers.

Owens logged consecutive limited practice sessions to end Week 6 prep. The backup strong safety has not yet played a defensive snap for the Commanders this season. Owens has played 91 special-teams snaps through the first four games of the season, logging five tackles (three solo).
