Cropper reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Cropper was elevated to the Cowboys' active roster for a second straight game due to the absences of CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot). Cropper saw six snaps on offense, which came after Jalen Brooks suffered a knee injury on punt coverage in the fourth quarter. Cropper did not see a target from Dak Prescott, but the former also played 10 snaps on special teams, returning one punt for eight yards while calling a fair catch three times. Cropper is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad once more; after that, the Cowboys would have to sign the 24-year-old wideout to the active roster in order for him to suit up for the rest of the regular season. Cropper could be on Dallas' active roster for Week 6 against Carolina if Lamb and/or Turpin are unable to play.

Dean (knee) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Dean has been slowly working his way back from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered in the postseason, and he has now logged back-to-back full practices dating back to Friday's injury report. The linebacker will have two more chances to officially log another full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Giants.

Simmons is questionable to play in Monday night's game against the Jaguars due to an illness.

The illness is a recent one, as Simmons did not appear on the injury report heading into Monday night's game. It appears he'll be on the bench for the start of the contest, but it's unclear whether Jaylon Moore or Wanya Morris will fill in at left tackle in Simmons' absence.

Reiman (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Reiman was carted off the field during the third quarter of the Cardinals' 22-21 loss to the Titans due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough to sideline the 2024 third-rounder for the rest of the regular season. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with three catches (on five targets) for 18 yards through four regular-season games while playing on both offense and special teams. Third-year tight end Elijah Higgins should step into the TE2 role behind Trey McBride for the remainder of the season in Reiman's absence.

Campbell (biceps) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Campbell compiled 11 total tackles (six solo) in the team's 21-17 loss to Denver on Sunday, but he may have left the game a little worse for wear. The linebacker will have two more chances to increase his workload at practice ahead of Thursday night's contest on the road versus the Giants.

Huntley reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday.

Huntley was elevated to the active roster to back up Cooper Rush in the absence of Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for Sunday's loss to the Texans. He was active but did not take any snaps.

Calcaterra (oblique) was considered to be a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter of the team's 21-17 loss to the Broncos in Week 5, ultimately remaining sidelined for the rest of the day. The tight end will have two more chances to participate in some capacity at practice before Thursday's matchup with the Giants.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Milano is "week-to-week" due to a pectoral injury that he aggravated during the first half of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

A pectoral injury kept Milano sidelined in the two games prior to Week 5. He was given the green light to play against New England, when he played 32 snaps on defense and made an immediate impact with six tackles (three solo), but the veteran linebacker did not see the field for the entire second half after aggravating the injury. Milano is in jeopardy of being sidelined for the Bills' Week 6 clash against the Falcons on Monday, Oct. 13, so his practice participation over the coming week will be worth monitoring closely. Shaq Thompson would be in line to see a bigger role at linebacker if Milano were to miss time.

Samuel logged two catches on as many targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Buffalo's 23-20 loss to New England on Sunday. He also turned three kickoff returns into 84 yards.

Samuel helped give the Bills a 10-6 lead early in the third quarter after hauling in a six-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen. Samuel was on the field for 33 of the Bills' 68 offensive snaps (48.6 percent), which was fourth most among Buffalo wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir (43), Keon Coleman (42) and Joshua Palmer (35). Samuel has played in each of the Bills' last two games after being a healthy scratch for the first three games, though most of his contributions will come on special teams as a kick returner rather than on offense unless there's an injury in Buffalo's wide-receiver corps.

Palmer caught two passes on as many targets for 36 yards during the Bills' 23-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Palmer was held to a 23-yard catch in the the second quarter for much of the game before hauling in a 13-yard grab on the last play of regulation. He was on the field for 35 of 68 offensive snaps (51.5 percent), which was third most among Bills wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir (43) and Keon Coleman (42). Palmer saw nine targets in his Bills debut Week 1 against the Ravens, but he has seen three looks or less from Josh Allen in each of the four games since. The lack of targets makes Palmer hard to count on from a fantasy perspective heading into Buffalo's Week 6 road contest against Atlanta on Monday, Oct. 13.
