  • Jets' Michael Carter: Enters concussion protocol

    Carter has been diagnosed with a concussion and is ruled out for the rest of Monday night's game against the Dolphins.

    Carter was taken to the locker room after sustaining a head injury in the second quarter, and the 2021 fifth-rounder was diagnosed with a concussion after being evaluated by medical staff. Tony Adams and Qwan'tez Stiggers are set to step into a larger role in the secondary following Carter's exit.

  • Carter Runyon: Returns to practice squad

    Runyon reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Runyon was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears, failing to record any stats while playing 15 snaps on special teams. The tight end did not handle any offensive snaps, with Ian Thomas serving as the top backup option behind starter Brock Bowers. If Michael Mayer (concussion) is unavailable again in Week 5, Runyon could return to the active roster before the team's matchup with the Colts.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Kimani Vidal: Reverts to practice squad

    Vidal reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Vidal was elevated to the Chargers' active roster for Week 4 following Najee Harris' season-ending Achilles injury in Week 3 against the Broncos. Vidal saw the field for seven snaps (two on offense, five on special teams) and was the firm RB3 behind Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins. Vidal did log one kickoff return for 25 yards and would likely reprise that role were he to be elevated by the Chargers again this season.

  • Austin Trammell: Lands back on practice squad

    Trammell reverted to Jacksonville's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Trammell was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup against San Francisco but didn't get into the game. His opportunity came as a result of Dyami Brown (shoulder) missing the contest. If Brown is sidelined again in Week 5, Trammell could get another gameday opportunity, but he doesn't seem likely to play a major role.

  • Albert Okwuegbunam: Returns to practice squad

    Okwuegbunam reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Okwuegbunam was elevated to the Raiders' practice squad to provide depth after Michael Mayer was ruled out with a concussion. Although Okwuegbunam was active for the game, he did not play a single snap as Brock Bowers and Ian Thomas handled all the snaps on offense. Okwuegbunam is eligible to be elevated to the active roster two more times this season.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Quintin Morris: Back with practice squad

    Morris reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Morris was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers, failing to record any stats while playing three snaps on offense. Additionally, the tight end added one tackle on kickoff coverage while playing 21 snaps on special teams. Morris has now exhausted his three elevations, and he'd have to be signed to the active roster in order to play again this season.

  • Jalen Moreno-Cropper: Moved back to practice squad

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

    Moreno-Cropper was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Green Bay and logged one offensive snap, along with four snaps on special teams, without recording any output in that contest. CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and Jonathan Mingo (knee) were both inactive for that game, and Moreno-Cropper could get another look in Week 5 versus the Jets if both injured wideouts remain sidelined.

  • Jackson Meeks TE | DET

    Jackson Meeks: Back to practice squad

    Meeks reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Meeks was elevated to the Lions' active roster to provide depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Browns. He ended up playing 13 snaps (four on offense, nine on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. Meeks is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad twice more this season.

  • Jets' Michael Carter: Being evaluated for concussion

    Carter (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Dolphins.

    Carter went to the locker room in the second quarter after taking a hit to the head, and he'll be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Monday's game. With Jarvis Brownlee (ankle) inactive, Tony Adams and Qwan'tez Stiggers are in line to see more work in the secondary for as long as Carter is out of the game.

  • Stephen Carlson: Reverts to practice squad

    Carlson reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Carlson made his 2025 regular-season debut in the Bears' Week 4 win over the Raiders due to the absence of Colston Loveland (hip). Carlson played a total of 15 snaps (10 on offense, five on special teams) without otherwise showing up on the box score. Loveland will have additional time to recover from his injury thanks to the Week 5 bye, so Carlson will likely remain on the practice squad for the Bears' Week 6 clash against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 13.
