Riley Moss CB | DEN
Broncos' Riley Moss: Limited Tuesday
Moss (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Moss was estimated as a non-participant in Monday's practice, so Tuesday's limited participation was progress. His status for Thursday's game against the Raiders remains unclear.

Broncos' Jonathon Cooper: Upgrades to full practice
Cooper (thumb) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Cooper was estimated as a limited participant in Monday's practice, but his improved status Tuesday should line him up to play Thursday against the Raiders. Cooper has been a key pass rusher for the Broncos, logging seven sacks through nine games to begin the campaign.

J.T. Gray DB | DEN
J.T. Gray: Let go by Denver
The Broncos waived Gray (hamstring) with an injury designation Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Gray is headed to waivers after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, which was just his first outing of the campaign. The special-teams standout will look to get healthy and find a new opportunity elsewhere.

Brandon Jones SAF | DEN
Broncos' Brandon Jones: Upgrades to limited participation
Jones (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Jones was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice report, so this was a step in the right direction. His participation Wednesday should shed further light on his status for Thursday's game against the Raiders.

Princeton Fant TE | DAL
Princeton Fant: Back to practice squad
Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Fant was elevated to the Cowboys' active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, when he played 11 snaps on special teams during Dallas' 27-17 loss to Arizona. The Cowboys are on a bye Week 10, so his next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster will be for Week 11 against the Raiders on Monday, Nov. 17.

Isaiah Pola-Mao SAF | LV
Raiders' Isaiah Pola-Mao: Limited in practice Tuesday
Pola-Mao (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Pola-Mao popped up on the injury report once again this week, but this time with a different injury. The former USC Trojan was dealing with a knee and ankle injury last week, but now has a hip problem. He was estimated to be a full participant in Monday's walkthrough, so the downgrade in status isn't a great sign for a short week.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: Added to injury report
Lutz did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough due to illness.
Lutz was added to the injury report Tuesday after not being listed Monday. It's unclear if he is in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Raiders, though his participation Wednesday should provide a clearer picture of his status.

Michael Carter RB | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Carter: Reverts to practice squad
Carter reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Carter did not play a single snap as Bam Knight and Emari Demercado served as the Cardinals' two running backs during the 27-17 victory. Arizona has used up all three of Carter's elevations from the practice squad, so he would have to be signed to the 53-man roster in order for play for the Cardinals again this season. However, with Trey Benson (knee) close to returning from injured reserve, Carter's window for utility may have already closed.

Rick Lovato LS | LAC
Chargers' Rick Lovato: Expected to retire
The Chargers placed Lovato (undisclosed) on the reserve/retired list Tuesday.
Lovato is seemingly stepping away from his NFL career after appearing in nine games for the Chargers this season. Josh Harris (undisclosed), who was designated to return from injured reserve last week, will likely take over as the team's long snapper following Lovato's retirement.
-
Adam Butler DT | LV
Raiders' Adam Butler: Limited in practice Tuesday
Butler (back) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports
After playing in Sunday's overtime loss to Jacksonville, Butler returned to the injury report with the same back injury that he sustained in Week 7 against the Chiefs. The defensive tackle had arguably his best game of the season last week with five tackles, but with his back seemingly bothering him again, it is unknown if he will be ready for Thursday's game against Denver.
