The Patriots cut Haskins from the practice squad Saturday.

With Haskins out, Lan Larison remains the only running back on New England's practice squad. Haskins has a career 76-229-2 rushing line, averaging a miserable 3.0 yards per carry, across 44 regular-season appearances.

The Bucs elevated Williams from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

With Sean Tucker (quadriceps) questionable, Williams will provide a depth option behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell if Tucker is unable to go. He's also an option to handle returner duties for Tampa Bay.

The Bucs elevated Stick from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

With Baker Mayfield (thumb) missing another game, Stick will again handle QB2 duties behind starter Jalon Daniels. Stick hasn't attempted a regular-season pass since the 2023 season with the Chargers.

The Packers elevated Owen from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

With Skyy Moore (ankle) sent to injured reserve in a corresponding move and Savion Williams (ankle) still questionable for his potential season debut, Owen will bring up the rear of the Packers' wideout depth chart. Owen appeared in two games with Green Bay last regular season, logging one snap on offense and 19 on special teams.

The Chargers activated Lambert-Smith (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Kansas City.

Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 against Arizona and has been sidelined since. He was able to post an LP/LP/FP practice log this week, but it's not yet certain that he'll suit up Sunday. Should Lambert-Smith be active, he could see some opportunities on offense given the injuries to fellow wideouts Tre' Harris (hamstring - out) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps - questionable).

The Packers placed Hargrave (Achilles) on injured reserve Saturday.

Hargrave suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in last Sunday's win over the Bears, so this move is a mere formality. Green Bay's defense continues to be hit by injuries, as the unit awaits Micah Parsons' (knee) season debut. Chris McClellan and Anthony Campbell (ankle) will be next up for heavier snap loads up front on the defensive line.

The Packers activated Williams (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Williams remains questionable for Sunday night against the Cowboys, but the transaction Saturday paves the way for him to play versus Dallas. With Skyy Moore (ankle) joining Jayden Reed (neck) on injured reserve Saturday, Williams could see offensive snaps behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, and there's a real chance Williams takes over WR3 duties in Green Bay moving forward. Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant are his main competitors for snaps on offense.

The Steelers elevated Johnson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Johnson hasn't appeared in a regular-season NFL game since 2024, when he caught one pass for nine yards across three appearances with Pittsburgh. With Michael Pittman (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) placed on injured reserve and Ben Skowronek (calf) ruled out, Johnson figures to be active against Tampa Bay.

The Steelers signed Nichols off their practice squad Saturday.

After multiple standard elevations already this season, Nichols now has a spot on the 53-man roster in a five-man backfield for the Steelers. Nichols has carried the ball two times for six yards on 11 offensive snaps across three appearances this season.

McNichols (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday night's game against the 49ers.

McNichols was a full practice participant this week but remains on injured reserve, though the Commanders could still choose to activate him ahead of Monday night's contest. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (foot) out, the Commanders could use McNichols as depth alongside Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler.
