Bigsby was limited to special teams duties Sunday against the Broncos, returning a pair of kicks for 44 yards.

Bigsby hasn't played a single offensive snap since being acquired by the Eagles after Week 1. He's the fourth running back on the Eagles' depth chart, so even an injury to Saquon Barkley likely wouldn't be enough for him to move into a meaningful role.

The Saints cut Mellott from the practice squad Tuesday.

Mellott was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Raiders but failed to make the team out of training camp as a developmental project. The former college quarterback has been trying to make it as a receiver in the pros.

The Saints signed Matavao to the practice squad Tuesday.

Matavao was a seventh-round pick by the Saints back in April's NFL Draft and has bounced between the practice squad and active roster for much of the first five weeks of the season.

The Saints signed Bell to the practice squad Tuesday.

Bell spent the offseason with the Lions and signed with the team's practice squad after failing to make the team out of training camp. He'll provide organizational depth at wide receiver in New Orleans. Bell has eight career catches for 90 yards and three touchdowns across 26 regular-season appearances.

The Saints waived Jones on Tuesday.

Jones appeared in all five of the Saints' contests to begin the season, returning eight kickoffs for 183 yards while picking up three tackles (one solo) on special teams. He played two offensive snaps but didn't touch the ball on either.

Dillon carried the ball twice for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Dillon has seen between five and 10 offensive snaps in all five games this season, never touching the ball more than three times. He's been efficient in that very small sample, averaging 5.3 yards on 11 total carries, but he would need an injury to Saquon Barkley to find his way to fantasy relevance.

Shipley rushed once for zero yards and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Shipley saw the field for eight offensive snaps compared to nine for fellow backup running back AJ Dillon, with both backs touching the ball twice. That represents Shipley's highest offensive snap count of the year, leaving him far away from fantasy relevance.

The Chargers signed Hines to the practice squad Tuesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Hines spent training camp and the preseason with the Chargers, so he's a familiar face to help Los Angeles navigate the next month-plus without Omarion Hampton (ankle) out of the backfield. Hines will be a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 6 against the Dolphins.

The Patriots signed Corbin to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

With Antonio Gibson done for the season after tearing his ACL in Sunday night's Week 5 win over the Bills, Corbin will provide depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Along with Corbin, the Patriots also employ Terrell Jennings on the practice squad.

The Panthers signed Dalcourt (undisclosed) to the practice squad Tuesday.

Dalcourt was placed on the Commanders' practice-squad injured list last month but was later let go with an injury settlement. He'll provide organizational depth along the interior of the offensive line in Carolina.
