The Patriots hosted Hall (undisclosed) for a tryout Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Hall was let go from the Falcons with an injury settlement Sept. 8. The safety is now healthy and could garner a spot on the Patriots' practice squad as they search for additional depth to offset the absences of Craig Woodson (shoulder) and Dell Pettus (ankle).

The Patriots hosted Spencer (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The Commanders waived Spencer from IR with an injury settlement Sept. 3. The safety has overcome his undisclosed injury and is ready to start competing for a roster spot once again. With Craig Woodson (shoulder) and Dell Pettus (ankle) injured, Spencer could be elevated quickly as a strong safety if the Patriots signed him to the practice squad.

The Jets placed McCrary-Ball (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

With McCrary-Ball out for at least the next four games, the Jets signed Troy Reeder off the practice squad in a corresponding move. McCrary-Ball logged 26 snaps on special teams across the first two weeks of the season.

The Lions placed Maddox (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Maddox will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a left foot injury he sustained in the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Bills. He'll shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2027 campaign, though he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. With Maddox, Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) all sidelined, Thomas Harper and Chuck Clark will serve as Detroit's starting safeties for the time being.

Kight (undisclosed) worked out for the Titans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Kight spent the summer with the Seahawks but was waived/injured in late August. Now healthy, the lineman will look for a new opportunity after appearing in four regular-season games with Seattle last season.

Brooks tallied four carries for 11 yards and caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win versus the Jets.

Brooks was on the field for 27 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps Week 2, with Kaleb Johnson and MarShawn Lloyd each logging 16. However, Brooks ceded carries to both players, and he tied Lloyd with two targets. The 26-year-old has totaled 40 yards off 11 carries (3.6 YPC), adding one catch for 15 yards in his two regular-season appearances in 2026. While Josh Jacobs (personal) sits on the Commissioner's Exempt List, there will continue to be opportunities for Brooks, Lloyd and Johnson, though it appears head coach Matt LaFleur is content with a timeshare, lowering the ceiling for all of them moving ahead, including the Week 3 meeting with Atlanta.

Clemons (toe) was placed on injured reserve by the Colts on Tuesday.

Clemons sustained a toe injury in the team's 33-30 overtime loss against Kansas City on Sunday night, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests while recovering. His absence won't have a major impact on the team's defensive approach.

The Jets signed Reeder off the practice squad Tuesday.

Reeder played 25 snaps on special teams as a standard elevation in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers. He's now got a spot on the 53-man roster and will serve as a depth linebacker and special-teams piece for Gang Green.

Taylor (ribs) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Taylor injured his ribs during the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. However, his full participation in Tuesday's practice means he'll start at right tackle against the Packers on Thursday.

The Falcons signed Harrison to the active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Harrison will rejoin the active roster after having been waived in late August before catching on with the team's practice squad. With Da'Shawn Hand (quadriceps) on injured reserve, Harrison will likely serve as Atlanta's primary rotational defensive end behind LaCale London and Brandon Dorlus.
