The Jets placed Cooper (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Amanda Vogt of the team's official site reports.

Cooper thus will miss at least the next four games after he suffered a sprained ankle in his pro debut this past Sunday in Tennessee. His next chance for game action will be a Week 6 road matchup with the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 18, and in the meantime, the Jets will operate with a receiving corps composed of Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith.

The Texans elevated Bond from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Bond will be elevated to fulfill a depth role in the Texans' wide receiver room. If Collins must miss Week 3 as well, Bond could return to the active roster once again, depending on his play in Sunday's contest. The sixth-round rookie out of Boston College will have the chance to play in his first NFL game Sunday.

Flowers (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Typically, players listed as doubtful on final injury reports of the week are inactive on game days, but the Ravens got ahead of the issue and deemed Flowers unable to play one day prior. He thus will miss at least one contest as a result of the hamstring issue he suffered in Week 1, and Baltimore will roll with a receiving corps of Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, Elijah Sarratt and LaJohntay Wester in the meantime.

Pineiro (illness) is expected to be active Sunday against the Dolphins, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 49ers ended up trying out two kickers Saturday -- Greg Joseph and Younghoe Koo -- but won't sign either of them to the practice squad, meaning Pineiro will handle his normal placekicking duties in Week 2. In 15 regular-season games with San Francisco going back to the 2025 campaign, Pineiro has netted 30 of 32 field-goal attempts and 37 of 41 point-after tries.

Thomas (ankle) does not have any injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Rams.

Thomas logged limited participation in practice throughout Week 2. The left tackle appears to have managed his ankle injury well enough to avoid any injury designation heading into Monday's game. Both Thomas and Francis Mauigoa are set to suit up and complete the Giants' starting offensive line for the contest.

Mauigoa (shoulder) does not have any injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Rams.

Mauigoa upgraded to full participation in Saturday's practice session after being limited Thursday and Friday. The starting right guard is all set to suit up for Monday night's contest to continue protecting Jaxson Dart.

Collins may miss two games due to a hamstring injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Collins already has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bengals as a result of the hamstring injury that he picked up at Wednesday's practice. The injury isn't considered to be a long-term concern, but as Wilson reports, the Texans could err on the side of caution and keep him out for Week 3 at Indianapolis as well to ensure the issue doesn't linger. In Collins' absence, Houston will roll with Xavier Hutchinson, Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel, Jared Wayne and practice-squad call-up Lewis Bond at wide receiver.

Newsome (ribs) does not have any injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Newsome upgraded to full participation in Saturday's practice after being limited Thursday and Friday. The cornerback has overcome his rib injury just in time to suit up for Monday night's game. With Deonte Banks (calf) still questionable to play, Newsome's presence will be huge for a Giants defense that will have to deal with Davante Adams and maybe Puka Nacua (hip).

Banks (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Banks was unable to practice Friday or Saturday due to his calf injury. The starting outside cornerback's inability to get on the field makes it unlikely that he will be able to suit up Monday night. If Banks is ruled out, Colton Hood will likely take over as the outside cornerback opposite Greg Newsome for Monday Night Football.

The Steelers placed Hurleman (undisclosed) on practice squad injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Hurleman signed with the Steelers' practice squad Sept. 2. The wide receiver has suffered an undisclosed injury and will now need to miss four games before he is eligible to return to the 16-man practice squad.
