Murchison was waived by the Rams on Saturday.

The Rams activated tight end Tyler Higbee off injured reserve Saturday, and with the move, Murchison became the odd man out. The 28-year-old played a depth role on the defensive line this season, totaling 126 snaps on defense and 44 on offense and accounting for eight tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks.

The Titans placed Jefferson (forearm) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Jefferson was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars, and his placement on injured reserve is a procedural move to open space on the Titans' 53-man roster for the return of Bryce Oliver (knee) from IR. Jefferson will end the 2025 season with 29 catches (on 52 targets) for 350 yards and one touchdown across 16 games. The sixth-year wideout will enter the offseason as a free agent.

Barron was elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Barron was active for the Cowboys' Week 17 matchup versus the Commanders, accounting for 16 snaps on special teams. The 24-year-old will likely continue to play a depth role in Week 18, as DeMarvion Overshown remains out with a concussion.

The Rams activated Higbee (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Higbee is still listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals, though his activation from IR indicates that the veteran tight end will play for the first time since Week 11 after recovering from an ankle injury. The timing is fortunate for the Rams, given that Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) popped up on Saturday's injury report and is now listed as doubtful for Week 18. If Ferguson is ruled out, then Higbee (if he can play) and Colby Parkinson would operate as the Rams' top tight ends for Sunday's NFC West tilt. Prior to his injury, Higbee caught 20 passes (on 30 targets) for 190 yards and two touchdowns across nine regular-season games.

Ferguson was added to the Rams' injury report Saturday due to a hamstring injury and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The issue appears to be a new one for the rookie second-rounder, given that he wasn't listed on the Rams' injury report during Week 18 prep. The injury is severe enough that Ferguson is unlikely to play in Sunday's regular-season finale, though the good news for the Rams is that Tyler Higbee (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and is trending toward being available for Week 18. Looking ahead, the injury puts Ferguson in jeopardy of being sidelined for the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.

The Cowboys placed Bass (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

Bass was already ruled out for the Cowboys' matchup against the Giants after being unable to practice all week, but this move likely made space for Nick Leverett to act as a depth piece on the active roster. Hakeem Adeniji and Brock Hoffman are both options to see increased reps on the offensive line.

Jenkins (concussion) has no injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Jenkins left the game early in Week 17 with a concussion and was limited in practice heading into Week 18. After clearing concussion protocol, the 27-year-old will start at right guard Sunday versus the Bengals.

The Dolphins elevated Wilson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official sitereports.

The eight-year veteran was active in the Dolphins' first two games of the season, seeing just one offensive snap before returning to the practice squad. With De'Von Achane (shoulder) doubtful for Week 18, Wilson will likely act as a depth piece behind Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon.

Sanders (hip) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Sanders will end up spending the entire 2025 season on injured reserve due to a hip injury he sustained in the preseason. Riley Patterson will serve as the Dolphins' starting kicker in Sunday's regular-season finale, as he's done for the entire 2025 campaign.

The Browns signed Ulofoshio from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Ulofoshio will act as a depth piece at linebacker after the Browns placed standout rookie Carson Schwesinger on injured reserve ahead of the team's final game of the season. Ulofoshio has yet to play this season, but he accounted for six total tackles and one pass breakup through four games in 2024.
