Malik Turner WR | SF
49ers' Malik Turner: Called up from practice squad
The 49ers elevated Turner from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Turner will be elevated by the 49ers for the third time this season, which is the maximum amount of times for a player on a team's practice squad. Turner will provide support on special teams while adding depth to a 49ers wide receiver corps that is without Ricky Pearsall (knee) for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Fred Warner MLB | SF
49ers' Fred Warner: Officially placed on IR
The 49ers placed Warner (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
Warner underwent surgery to address the right dislocated and fractured ankle that he sustained during the 49ers' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers. He'll be sidelined for the rest of the season, so the veteran linebacker will focus on his rehab and recovery while working toward being fully healthy for the start of the 2026 campaign. Tatum Bethune is in line to take over starting duties at linebacker in Warner's absence.

John Ridgeway DT | NO
Saints' John Ridgeway: Won't return in Week 7
Ridgeway (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.
Ridgeway has been practicing in full for the last two weeks, but he still hasn't been deemed ready to return and remains on injured reserve. He appears to have a good chance to return in Week 8 against the Buccaneers and should have a rotational role along the defensive line.

D'Ernest Johnson RB | ARI
Cardinals' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Emari Demercado (ankle) will be sidelined for Sunday's game, so the Cardinals are in need of depth at running back. Johnson has a chance to be active for the first time this season for Sunday's game against the Packers, though he'd likely work behind Michael Carter and Bam Knight.

Austin Booker DE | CHI
Bears' Austin Booker: Remaining on IR
Booker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Booker was a full participant in practice all week, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to be activated from injured reserve. He opened the season on IR, so his next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Travis Homer RB | CHI
Bears' Travis Homer: Taken off injured reserve
The Bears activated Homer (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Homer opened the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury he sustained during the preseason in August. He was a full participant in practice over the past two weeks, and his activation from IR indicates that he's on track for his season debut Sunday. With D'Andre Swift (groin) expected to play Sunday and Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson slated to serve in reserve roles out of the backfield, Homer likely will see most of his playing time on special teams.

Jalen Reagor WR | LAC
Jalen Reagor: Let go by Chargers
Reagor was cut from the Chargers' practice squad Saturday.
Reagor joined the Chargers' practice squad Oct. 7, but his time with the team was short-lived. He has yet to appear in a game this season.

Blake Cashman LB | MIN
Vikings' Blake Cashman: Activated from IR
The Vikings activated Cashman (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, but he's still questionable for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Cashman has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury during the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears. He was a full participant in practice all week, and his return to the active roster gives him a chance to play Week 7. Cashman's presence would mean less snaps at inside linebacker for Eric Wilson, who has started in each of the Vikings' last four games and logged 30 tackles (15 solo) and two forced fumbles over that span.

Robbie Chosen WR | WAS
Commanders' Robbie Chosen: Elevated to active roster
The Commanders elevated Chosen from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Chosen joined the Commanders' practice squad at the end of September, but he has yet to appear in a game with the team. With both Deebo Samuel (heel) and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) both sidelined, Chosen should have a chance to be active Sunday against the Cowboys.

Clark Phillips III CB | ATL
Falcons' Clark Phillips: Placed on injured reserve
The Falcons placed Phillips (triceps/illness) on injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Phillips has been unable to practice for the last two weeks and did not play against the Bills in Week 6 due to a triceps injury. He'll now be required to miss at least the next four games while on injured reserve, and the earliest he can be activated is ahead of the Falcons' Week 11 home clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 16.
