The Steelers signed Homer from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Homer was elevated for the Steelers' Week 2 loss to the Patriots, playing two offensive snaps and 10 special teams snaps in the game while logging two rushes for 16 yards. The running back could be the primary option for the Steelers in the Week 3 contest against the Bengals. Jaylen Warren (shoulder) is listed as questionable and Rico Dowdle (toe) has been ruled out, meaning at worst Homer will be the No. 2 option.

Coleman (ankle) is being placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coleman has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain and was unable to practice all week. He'll now go on IR and will be required to miss at least four games, meaning the earliest he can return is Week 7 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25. With Coleman sidelined, Tyler Badie could see an uptick in offensive snaps as the third option in the Broncos' backfield behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

Shipley (foot) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice but does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bears.

Shipley ended the week with back-to-back limited practices while working through a foot injury, but he's been officially cleared to play for MNF. Saquon Barkley (shoulder) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) have also been cleared to play, so Shipley will serve as the Eagles' third option out of the backfield.

Bigsby (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bears.

Bigsby was working through an abdominal injury throughout the week, but he faded an injury tag after logging a full practice Saturday. He worked in an elevated role on offense against the Titans in Week 2, but Bigsby will be the Eagles' RB2 for Monday after Saquon Barkley was able to overcome a shoulder stinger, with Will Shipley (foot) serving as the third option out of the backfield.

The Rams elevated Connors from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With No. 3 running back Ronnie Rivers (calf) moving to IR, Connors will be the primary depth option behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum for Sunday's contest. The undrafted free agent out of Houston will be suiting up for his NFL debut, though it is uncertain if the 23-year-old will receive any snaps or carries in the showdown with the Broncos.

The Panthers elevated Tyus from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Tyus is set to be the No. 3 option at running back in Sunday's game against the Browns. Chuba Hubbard and AJ Dillon will still see the majority, if not all, of the offensive reps in the contest, but Tyus will be the reserve option if the two need a break or succumb to injury.

Nwangwu (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Nwangwu was listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest after Friday's practice. The Jets' kick returner had an outside chance to suit up Sunday despite not logging a single day of practice throughout Week 3 prep. After a Saturday examination, it's been determined that Nwangwu will not be ready for the game, leaving Isaiah Williams as the primary kick and punt returner for the Jets' showdown with the Lions.

The Titans elevated Carter from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Carter is set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Giants. The running back played in 13 games for the Cardinals in 2025, logging 92 carries for 333 yards and a touchdown, as well as 33 receptions for 267 yards. Carter is set to be the No. 4 option if Tyjae Spears (ankle) is ruled out and inactive if Spears is all set to play.

Gilliam (knee) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Gilliam was limited in all three Week 3 practice sessions. The fullback sustained a knee injury during the Patriots' Week 2 win over the Steelers, but it won't stop the 29-year-old from suiting up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Gilliam has seen 33 offensive snaps and 26 special-teams snaps through two games in 2026.

Shipley (foot) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Shipley missed Thursday's practice with a foot injury he likely suffered in Sunday's win over the Titans. The running back has quickly improved his participation, a good sign for the 24-year-old's availability for Monday night's game against the Bears.
