The Patriots waived Pharms on Saturday.

Pharms loses his 53-man roster spot to fellow DT Cory Durden, who was signed off the team's practice squad. Pharms appeared in 28 regular-season games for New England over the previous two seasons, logging 42 tackles (20 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery. He could be an option to join the practice squad.

The Lions signed Saylors off their practice squad Saturday.

With Sione Vaki (hamstring) out for Week 1 against the Packers, Saylors was signed to the 53-man roster as the Lions' RB4 behind Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and special teams dynamo Craig Reynolds. Saylors carried the ball 33 times during the preseason, totaling 112 scoreless yards.

The Ravens elevated Mitchell-Paden from the practice squad Saturday.

With Isaiah Likely (foot) still working his way back from injury, Mitchell-Paden will serve as the Ravens' third tight end behind Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar on Sunday night against the Bills.

The Commanders elevated Moore from the practice squad Saturday.

Moore will provide wideout and special-teams depth for the Commanders during their Week 1 matchup with the Giants on Sunday.

The Saints elevated Stoll from the practice squad Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Stoll will provide depth at the position behind Juwan Johnson and Moliki Matavao. Never much of a pass catcher, Stoll has 22 career catches for 193 scoreless yards across 61 career regular-season appearances.

The Saints waived Haener on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Haener was cut by New Orleans last week but signed with the team's practice squad after he cleared waivers. If he clears waivers again, it would make sense for the quarterback to return to the practice squad at some point.

The Colts elevated Bentley from the practice squad Saturday.

It's unclear if Bentley's activation is related to Tyler Goodson's (elbow) questionable status. If active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bentley will provide backfield depth behind Jonathan Taylor and DJ Giddens. Bentley produced a 22-94-2 rushing line during the preseason.

The Texans elevated Johnson from the practice squad Saturday.

If active Sunday, Johnson will handle some lead-blocking and special-teams duties for the Texans against the Rams.

Scott (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Bears.

Scott was injured in the Vikings' preseason finale back on Aug. 22 and will be unavailable for the team's Week 1 opener. He was unlikely to see much, if any, playing time to begin with behind Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Ty Chandler.

Dissly secured his only target for 18 yards during Los Angeles' 27-21 win over the Chiefs on Friday.

Dissly played more offensive snaps (37) than Conklin (28), but the former was outproduced in the receiving game. Dissly's lone target, which he turned into an 18-yard reception, came in the fourth quarter, while Conklin managed 50 yards on two targets, both of which he secured. Dissly and Conklin will again split reps at tight end in Week 2 on the road against Las Vegas on Monday night, but the Chargers' passing attack appears intent on funneling through starting wideouts Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston.
