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.

Douglas (ankle) was spotted working out off to the side during Tuesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Even though they're on bye for Week 6, the Dolphins held an informal session Tuesday. Douglas didn't look to be mixing into drills with his healthy teammates, which has been the trend since he injured his ankle in a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. The rookie wideout will look to take advantage of the bye week with the hope of making enough progress in his recovery to potentially resume practicing with the Dolphins when the team kicks off Week 7 prep next Wednesday.

Shakir brought in all three targets for 80 yards in the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday night.

On a night when Josh Allen completed just 12 passes, Shakir led the Bills in receiving yards with a figure that marked his second straight 80-yard-plus effort. However, Shakir needed overtime to get there, as he recorded a game-long 57-yard catch and run during Buffalo's first drive of the extra period. Shakir otherwise didn't seem much benefit from the absences of DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer due to shoulder injuries, but he is now averaging an impressive 14.2 yards per catch heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders.

Adams brought in five of seven targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

Matthew Stafford showered unprecedented attention on Puka Nacua in the form of 24 targets, but Adams still put together a highly useful fantasy performance via his pair of touchdown grabs. Adams went in from four and five yards out in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. Adams' catch and receiving yardage totals were all his third highest of the campaign, and the veteran wideout will next take aim at the Cardinals defense in a Week 6 divisional home matchup on Sunday.
