Singleton finished Sunday's 30--26 win over the Rams with eight tackles (five solo).

Singleton played every single defensive snap for a second consecutive week, and he finished Sunday's game tied with Pat Surtain as the Broncos' second-leading tackler behind Brandon Jones (eight). Singleton is up to 33 combined tackles through three regular-season games, which leads the Broncos and is tied with Fred Warner for second-most in the NFL behind rookie second-rounder Anthony Hill (34). Singleton and the Broncos' defense will have its hands full in a Week 4 road tilt against the 49ers.

Jones posted 12 tackles (10 solo) and one pass defense during the Broncos' 30-26 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Sunday was the first time since Week 3 of the 2025 season that Jones posted double-digit tackles, and his 10 solo tackles were one shy from matching his career high that he set in Week 6 of the 2024 campaign against the Chargers. Jones has played almost every single defensive snap and is up to 22 combined tackles through three regular-season games, which is second-most on the Broncos behind Alex Singleton (33).

Hufanga recorded five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and three pass defenses (one interception and a pick-six) during the Broncos' 30-26 win over the Rams in Week 3.

Hufanga's heroics in the fourth quarter was a driving force behind the Broncos' come-from-behind victory this past Sunday. It started early in the period with a 10-yard sack on Matthew Stafford on a third-and-5, leading to a 48-yard field goal by Harrison Mevis. Hufanga followed that up by picking off a Stafford pass intended for Kyren Williams, which Hufanga returned 66 yards for a touchdown to give the Broncos the lead. The sixth-year safety wrapped up his career night with a game-sealing interception off Stafford in the end zone on the final play of the contest. Hufanga and the Broncos will look to carry their momentum into a Week 4 road tilt against the 49ers this Sunday.

The Dolphins opened Duck's (knee) 21-day practice window Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Duck was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins have until Oct. 21 to return the cornerback to the active roster, or the team will need to keep the 25-year-old on the reserve/PUP list for the remainder of the 2026 season.

The Texans placed Edwards on injured reserve Wednesday.

Edwards suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts and will miss the rest of the 2026 season. The defensive tackle has been moved to injured reserve and will no longer take up a spot on the Texans' 53-man roster.

The Panthers waived Cherelus (shoulder) from their injured reserve list with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Less than a week after sending Cherelus to IR with a shoulder injury, Carolina has decided to let him go entirely. Unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period, he'll become an unrestricted free agent eligible to suit up for any other team once he's healthy.

Reed-Adams (elbow) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

The rookie seventh-rounder was not available for the Bills' Week 3 home game against the Chargers due to an elbow injury. Reed-Adams' full practice Wednesday indicates he'll suit up against the Patriots on Sunday to provide the Bills with depth on the offensive line.

Jones is week-to-week with a knee injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Jones exited the Bears' Monday night win over the Eagles early with a knee injury. After extensive evaluation, it has been determined that Jones will need to miss at least a week, if not longer, with the injury. Ozzy Trapilo or Theo Benedet will likely start at left tackle for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Jenkins (back) is officially listed as out for Thursday's game versus Pittsburgh.

Jenkins was able to return to practice during the week on a limited basis, but he'll have to wait at least one more game to make his 2026 regular-season debut. Rookie third-rounder Austin Barber should get another start at right guard in Week 4.

Freeling (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Freeling entered the league's concussion protocol following the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns in Week 3. A return to practice would indicate that the rookie first-rounder is progressing in his recovery, but even if he logs a full session, he would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play. Stone Forsythe and Albert Reese would be the top candidates to start at right tackle if Freeling is not cleared to play against the Lions on Sunday.
