The Texans released Sobkowicz from the practice squad Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Sobkowicz was signed to the Texans' practice squad on Sept. 1 after going undrafted in 2026. The former Redbird will presumably look to continue his career with another NFL team, though he likely has a way to go before making a regular-season appearance.

The Chargers designated Lambert-Smith (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.

The transaction opens up a 21-day window wherein Lambert-Smith can be evaluated in practice before the Chargers would need to add him to the 53-man roster. If Lambert-Smith is able to turn in multiple full practices in Week 6, he would stand a decent chance of being activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game in Kansas City. The Chargers could have a need for the 24-year-old Lambert-Smith to absorb some snaps at receiver after all of Ladd McConkey (foot), Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) sat out this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos, while Tre' Harris (hamstring) exited the game early.

Miller was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

Miller appeared in five games for Miami in 2026. While the 26-year-old caught just three passes (four targets) for 92 yards, he scored a touchdown in the Week 2 loss to the 49ers.

Charles (knee) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Charles was acquired from the Jets during the offseason but hasn't played a snap for Seattle because of a knee injury. However, with his removal from the IR, he is expected to make his debut with the Seahawks on Thursday versus Denver and anticipated to hold a prominent role on special teams. To make room for Charles, Velus Jones was released.

Guillory was cut from the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday.

With Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) anticipated to return soon, Chris Moore was released. However, with Moore expected to sign with the practice squad, Guillory will now hunt for a new team.

Moore was released by the Ravens on Tuesday.

Moore appeared in four games for the Ravens this season, amassing three grabs (six targets) for 63 yards and one touchdown. While the 33-year-old was released Tuesday, presumably to make room for the impending return of rookie Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist), he is expected to be signed to Baltimore's practice squad, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The Jets released Johnson from the practice squad Tuesday, Amanda Vogt of the Jets' official site reports.

The 28-year-old was released from the practice squad in a corresponding move to make room for Jamaal Pritchett. Johnson played 289 offensive snaps (292 total) for New York in 2025, but failed to make an appearance through five games of the 2026 season.

The Jets signed Pritchett to the practice squad Tuesday, Amanda Vogt of the Jets' official site reports.

Pritchett was waived by the Jets prior to their Week 5 game to make room for Tim Patrick (groin), who was removed from injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old appeared in one game this season, recording three special-teams snaps and returning a kick for 27 yards.

The Chiefs placed Thornton (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 53-man roster for linebacker Cam Jones, who was signed off the practice squad. After dislocating his left ankle in the Chiefs' Oct. 4 win over the Raiders and requiring surgery, Thornton is facing an estimated recovery timeline of 3-to-4 months, which means that he'll likely be sidelined until at least Week 17 or 18 in a best-case scenario. While Thornton is out, the Chiefs are expected to lean on Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen to handle more reps in three-receiver sets alongside starters Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Xavier Worthy.

Coker (quadriceps) was spotted participating in the Panthers' unofficial practice session Tuesday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

After missing the Panthers' Week 4 win over Detroit due to the quad injury, Coker appears to be trending in the right direction coming out of a Week 5 bye. Head coach Dave Canales noted Monday that Coker is "on track" to play Sunday against the Eagles, and the wideout's involvement in Tuesday's session further supports Canales' optimism. Carolina will release its first Week 6 injury report Wednesday, when it will be known whether Coker is practicing in full or in a limited fashion.
