The Saints cut Jackson from the practice squad Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Jackson loses his spot on the practice squad to fellow wide receiver Samori Toure, who was signed Tuesday. Jackson appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Titans last season but didn't draw a single target on 46 offensive snaps.

Coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday that he's optimistic Harris (ankle) will be able to play Sunday against the Broncos, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Harris remains on injured reserve but was designated for return 13 days ago, opening his 21-day practice window. Harris has been sidelined since he was injured in Week 3 against the Raiders. Quan Martin, Jeremy Reaves and Darnell Savage have been handling safety duties for the Commanders.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Porter (hip) will be limited in practice this week, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Porter was forced from Sunday's loss to the Bears with the injury, but it doesn't sound like it's an overly serious issue for the star cornerback. Darius Slay and James Pierre would likely handle cornerback duties for Pittsburgh if Porter needs to miss any game action.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Pickens (knee/calf) will practice Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Schottenheimer said Monday that Pickens has a bruised shin, which is curiously neither a knee nor calf issue, but it sounds like the star wide receiver will be in good enough shape to play Thursday against Kansas City. Pickens hung a 9-146-1 receiving line on Philadelphia last week as he continues to deliver a career-best campaign.

Jackson (toe) returned to practice Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report, but he doesn't appear to be in serious danger of missing Thursday night's game against the Bengals. The QB is looking to bust a three-game slump -- he's averaged 174 passing yards per game with a 1:2 TD:INT mark over the last three weeks -- in a juicy matchup against Cincinnati's league-worst defense.

Bourne was not targeted as a receiver in Monday's 20-9 win over the Panthers.

Bourne was on the field for just six offensive snaps (nine percent) against Carolina, failing to draw a target during his brief appearance in the primetime tilt, and the 29-year-old was marginalized completely with Ricky Pearsall returning from a knee injury in Week 12. Bourne had a brief run of fantasy utility earlier this season when the 49ers' receiver room was plagued by injuries, but it would require another absence from one of the team's starters for a similar situation to repeat itself. Even deep-league managers can safely move on from Bourne ahead of Sunday's matchup in Cleveland, if they haven't done so already.

Robinson brought in his only target for eight yards in Monday's 20-9 win over Carolina.

Robinson recorded just one reception for the second week in a row despite finishing third in snaps (54 percent) among San Francisco's receiving corps. The 30-year-old was already struggling to fit in with the 49ers this season, and the return of QB Brock Purdy in Week 12 hasn't helped the veteran receiver's target share. Robinson can safely be left off fantasy rosters when the 49ers visit the Browns on Sunday.

Head coach Andy Reid said that Gray (concussion) won't participate in Tuesday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

With Gray not yet cleared for practice after entering the concussion protocol following Sunday's overtime victory over the Colts, he would appear to be a long shot to play Thursday in Dallas. Assuming Gray ends up being ruled out for the Thanksgiving Day matchup, Robert Tonyan and Jared Wiley would be next in line to provide depth at tight end behind Travis Kelce.

The Saints waived Grupe on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Grupe knocked down a career-best 87.1 percent of his field-goal tries in 2024, but his accuracy had cratered during his third NFL season. After missing attempts from 38 and 47 yards in the Saints' Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Grupe's conversion rate for the season dropped to 69.2 percent, placing him last among all NFL kickers with at least 20 attempts. The Saints have signed Cade York to their practice squad following a tryout, and he'll presumably be elevated or signed to the 53-man roster to step in as the team's new kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Miami.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Metcalf (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice early in Week 13 prep, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Metcalf battled an ankle issue during this past Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears, but he still played 61 of the Steelers' 72 snaps on offense on his way to finishing with five catches for 22 yards on eight targets. The injury isn't believed to be anything that will prevent Metcalf from playing this weekend against Buffalo, but he'll likely need to advance to full practice participation by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation.
