The Jaguars placed Strange on injured reserve Tuesday due to a quadriceps injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Strange sustained what the Jaguars had previously labeled as a hip injury with just over four minutes remaining in the first half of Monday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs, resulting in his early exit from the contest. After undergoing further testing, Strange has now been diagnosed with a quad issue that will keep him out multiple games, though Garafolo relays that the Jaguars anticipate that the tight end has avoided a season-ending injury and will be able to return in around a month. Despite playing just 22 snaps in Monday's win, Strange leads the Jaguars with 20 catches through five games and has produced 204 receiving yards and no touchdowns. His absence should open up more opportunities at tight end for Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long.

Jones signed with the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.

Jones spent September in the Vikings' organization and appeared in two regular-season games, playing six snaps on offense and another 25 on special teams. He'll provide wideout depth in Jacksonville.

Gray recorded 12 tackles (six solo) in the Titans' win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Gray has really piled up the tackles over the last two weeks, recording 29 of them in total in that span, and is up to 48 tackles (27 solo) and one QB hit on 82 percent of Tennessee's defensive snaps across five contests.

Simmons recorded eight tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, in the Titans' win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Simmons' eight tackles marked a new season-high and the third-most he's ever recorded in a single game during his seven-year career. The veteran defensive lineman is having a big start to the 2025 campaign with 22 tackles (16 solo), including 3.5 sacks and six TFLs, nine QB hits and one forced fumble.

Tracy (shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Though Tracy's limited listing represents no change from Monday's estimated report, head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged that the running back would have done more on-field work Tuesday if the Giants had held a traditional practice, per Evan Barnes of Newsday. Daboll later added that he's optimistic Tracy will be able to play Thursday against the Eagles, per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, after the 25-year-old missed the Giants' previous two games with a dislocated right shoulder. If Tracy ends up being cleared for the Week 6 contest, he may have to settle for a secondary role out of the backfield behind rookie Cam Skattebo, who has likely solidified himself as New York's clear No. 1 option after totaling at least 90 yards from scrimmage in each of the past three contests.

Dart (hamstring) was listed as a full participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Though Tuesday's session wasn't conducted at full speed, Dart didn't face any limitations and looks to be ready to play Thursday against the Eagles. Head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged as much prior to the walkthrough, telling Evan Barnes of Newsday that Dart's sore left hamstring wasn't viewed as much of a concern, even on a short week. After leading the Giants to an impressive win over the Chargers in his first NFL start in Week 4, Dart took a step back in a disappointing loss to the previously winless Saints in Week 5, committing three turnovers on the afternoon. However, Dart still managed to produce a fantasy friendly line in the loss, throwing for 202 yards and two scores while adding 55 yards on seven carries.

The Bengals released Rypien on Tuesday.

The Bengals shook up their quarterback depth chart Tuesday, cutting Rypien from the active roster and Mike White from the practice squad while adding Joe Flacco in a trade with the Browns.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Tuesday that Graham (calf) will return to practice this week, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Graham has missed the Falcons' first four games of the season due to a calf injury, which he suffered during an Aug. 12 practice. Atlanta will open a 21-day evaluation window for the veteran defensive lineman, so the team will have until Week 9 to potentially add him back to the 53-man roster. He'll provide depth along the defensive front once he returns to action.

Davis signed with the Saints on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Davis had options, according to Garafolo, as he initially agreed to sign with New Orleans' practice squad before the Lions called to sign him to the active roster. Instead, he's sticking with the Saints and joining the 53-man roster. Davis has 122 career regular-season games under his belt and appeared in 15 with the Commanders last season.

Browning is expected to move into a backup role at quarterback for Sunday's game against the Packers after the Bengals acquired Joe Flacco from the Browns on Tuesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

According to Morrison, the expectation is that Flacco will arrive in Cincinnati in time to take first-team reps at Wednesday's practice, and assuming the veteran signal-caller absorbs the new playbook quickly, he'll take over as the Bengals' new starter this weekend. As the Bengals' starter for the past three games, Browning led the team to an 0-3 record while completing 64.1 percent of his passes for just 5.6 yards per attempt, and he threw eight interceptions in total over 14-plus quarters since replacing an injured Joe Burrow (toe) midway through the team's Week 2 win over the Jaguars. Flacco -- who posted a 2:6 TD:INT and 5.1 YPA in four starts for Cleveland before being benched last week -- hasn't fared any better than Browning this season, but his longer track record of sustained success in the NFL looks like it'll be enough for him to serve as the team's preferred option under center until Burrow potentially returns later in the campaign.
