The Commanders signed DeGennaro to the practice squad Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

DeGennaro signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent, though he was cut in August. He will get another opportunity to make an NFL roster, and while that could happen in Washington, he likely wouldn't do anything to benefit fantasy managers.

Bowers (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

The Raiders are likely just managing Bowers' reps after he's decimated both the Saints and Chiefs in back-to-back games since making his 2026 debut in Week 3. He has 16 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns on a whopping 25 targets across two appearances. Bowers is the weekly TE1 in fantasy every week no matter the matchup.

The Giants signed Haener to the 53-man roster off their practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

It's the second time this season that Haener has been signed to the 53-man roster. Jameis Winston is the Giants' starter while Jaxson Dart (knee) is on injured reserve, but Haener might serve as the backup until recent acquisition J.J. McCarthy gets comfortable with the playbook and offensive gameplan.

Dennis (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Dennis suffered an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' Week 4 loss to the Packers on Sunday. The Bucs are still awaiting the results of his MRI, but the injury is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to be sidelined for Thursday night's contest. In Dennis' absence, Christian Rozeboom will be the sole depth option at inside linebacker behind Alex Anzalone and Josiah Trotter.

Morrison (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Morrison will end up missing two consecutive games due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained during Week 4 prep, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 18. In Morrison's absence, the Buccaneers will lean more heavily on Zyon McCollum, Jacob Parrish and Keionte Scott in the secondary.

Yurosek (undisclosed) practiced Wednesday.

It's unknown how involved Yurosek was during practice, though it appears he could be nearing a return after landing on injured reserve to begin the 2026 campaign. The 24-year-old appeared in 12 regular-season games in 2025, amassing two catches (three targets) for 14 yards.

McGregor (pectoral) was placed on the Jets' injured reserve list Wednesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

McGregor will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a pectoral injury he sustained during the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Bears. His move to IR opens up a spot on the 53-man roster, which the Jets filled with Nate Lynn, who signed with the team's practice squad following the conclusion of training camp in late August.

The Vikings signed Jones to the practice squad Wednesday.

Jones was active for Sunday's win over Miami but didn't log a snap. He was waived Monday, though he will remain in Minnesota for now as a member of the practice squad.

The Dolphins signed Washington to the practice squad Wednesday.

Washington was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 15-10 loss to Minnesota. With De'Von Achane (knee) out for the remainder of the 2026 campaign, Washington could see more action with the Dolphins moving forward, though he likely won't have much of a role behind Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright.

Bateman (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

It's a new injury for Bateman, and the same can be said for Zay Flowers, who was limited with a foot injury Wednesday. With Lamar Jackson (ankle) set to miss Week 5 against the Falcons, Bateman is an uninspiring fantasy bet if he plays.
