Morrow (groin/core) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Morrow spent much of training camp and the preseason dealing with groin and core injuries, but his rehab progressed on schedule and he has no restrictions heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals. He appears locked into a starting role at strong-side linebacker for Buffalo, with Matt Milano (biceps) sidelined until at least late in the season.

Bills' Nicholas Morrow: Misses Monday's practice
Rotowire
Morrow was held out of Monday's practice due to groin and core issues, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Buffalo brought in Morrow earlier in the offseason after the 29-year-old posted 95 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended in 2023 with the Eagles. Once Morrow is able to return to the field, he's expected to compete with Dorian Williams for the Bills' top strong-side linebacker position ahead of the team's 2024 campaign.

Rotowire
Morrow is set to sign a one-year deal with the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Networkreports.
Morrow enjoyed a successful 2023 campaign that saw him start 11 games for the Eagles while Nakobe Dean tended to a foot injury. The 28-year-old amassed 95 combined tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and five passes defended. He'll likely fill a depth role in the Bills' linebacker corps behind Terrel Bernard in the middle.

Eagles' Nicholas Morrow: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Morrow (abdomen) was considered a limited participant at Philadelphia's walk-through Wednesday.
Morrow missed the Eagles' victory over the Giants on Christmas Day due to an abdomen issue, but his status to open the week is encouraging. The linebacker will attempt to increase his workload at one of the team's two official practice sessions before the end of the week in order to be available for Sunday's matchup with Arizona.

Eagles' Nicholas Morrow: Misses practice
Rotowire
Morrow (abdomen) did not participate in practice Thursday.
The middle linebacker played on all 59 of the defensive snaps in Week 15 against the Seahawks and has not played on less than 71 percent of the defensive snaps since Week 8. Shaquille Leonard, who signed with the Eagles on Dec. 4 after being waived by the Colts on Nov. 21, should start in Morrow's absence if the latter can't go Monday against the Giants.

Eagles' Nicholas Morrow: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
The Eagles signed Morrow to their active roster Tuesday.
Morrow's addition to the main roster corresponds with the Eagles placing linebacker Nakobe Dean on injured reserve. Morrow signed with the Eagles in March after posting a career-high 116 tackles in 17 games for the Bears in 2022. He was a surprise cut from the 53-man roster in late August but he opted to return to Philadelphia on their practice squad. Morrow will now have the chance to fill a depth linebacker role behind Christian Elliss, Zach Cunningham and Haason Reddick and could also see some snaps on special teams.

Nicholas Morrow: Joins Eagles' practice squad
Rotowire
Philadelphia signed Morrow to its practice squad Monday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
Less than a week after being waived by the Eagles, Morrow has found his way back into team facilities. Morrow recorded 116 tackles in 2022, so it would be somewhat surprising if he remained on the practice squad for long.

Nicholas Morrow: Let go by Eagles
Rotowire
Morrow was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
This is a surprising move, as Morrow was projected to start at weakside linebacker for the Eagles. He was coming off a career-high 116 tackles across 17 games with the Bears in 2022. Philly lost a couple key linebackers to free agency, which is why the 28-year-old was presumably going to see a significant role right away, but that is ultimately not the case. It is unlikely that he will be without a team for too long.

Eagles' Nicholas Morrow: Inking one-year deal with Eagles
Rotowire
Morrow is signing a one-year contract with Philadelphia on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Morrow had a career-high 116 tackles while suiting up for 17 games with the Bears last season, and he now joins an Eagles defense that's lost key linebackers to free agency. In IDP formats, Morrow's landing spot in defensive coordinator Sean Desai's scheme makes him an interesting under-the-radar add.

Rotowire
Morrow recorded eight tackles and intercepted a pass in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Bears' Nicholas Morrow: Six tackles in loss
Rotowire
Morrow recorded six tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Packers.
Morrow had a solid outing despite the loss, finishing with six or more tackles for the third time in the past four weeks. The 27-year-old linebacker once again played every defensive snap, something he's done in all but one game this season. Morrow will look to continue with this level of play after the bye week, when the Chicago defense will have the tough task of trying to slow down the Eagles' offense.

Morrow elected to stick with the Raiders after starting 11 games last season. He registered 78 tackles, three sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 14 total appearances. Nick Kwiatkoski and Max Richardson will get plenty of opportunities in Morrow's absence.

Raiders' Nicholas Morrow: Suffers concussion
Rotowire
Morrow was diagnosed with a concussion after Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Morrow left in the fourth quarter, and he's currently in the league's five-step concussion protocol. It seems unlikely that he's ready in time for Thursday's game versus the Chargers. If he's indeed sidelined, either Raekwon McMillan or Kyle Wilber likely would start at strong-side linebacker.

Raiders' Nicholas Morrow: Leaves Sunday's game
Rotowire
Morrow is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.
Morrow is officially listed as questionable to return Sunday, but given that he exited with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, it seems safe to rule him out. Whether he is placed in the concussion protocol will impact his chances for Thursday's upcoming game against the Chargers.

Rotowire
Morrow (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
He's played in every game this season and won't be breaking that streak in Week 9. With Cory James and Marquel Lee returning from knee injuries, the rookie will slide back into a reserve/special teams role.
