Brown (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Monday's Week 4 matchup against Atlanta.

Brown missed last Sunday's loss to Las Vegas due to a hamstring injury. However, he logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and has been cleared to suit up Monday. Brown's primary role for the Saints this season has been as a kick and punt returner, and he has no targets on offense so far while logging nine offensive snaps through two games.

The Broncos signed Prentice from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Prentice had been elevated from the practice squad for each of the first three weeks of the campaign, so this move was necessary for the fullback to continue to see action on game days. The 29-year-old has logged most of his work this season on special teams but does have one catch on one target for two yards over 18 offensive snaps.

Seattle signed Jones from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The Seahawks needed running-back depth ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Chargers after rookie Jadarian Price (chest) was placed on IR. Jones should slide into the team's No. 3 RB role behind Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. Jones was previously elevated from the practice squad twice this season and has logged 39 snaps, all on special teams.

Hansen (knee) has been deemed questionable to play against Dallas on Sunday.

Hansen played all 71 of Houston's defensive snaps in Week 3 versus Indianapolis but picked up a knee issue along the way. He logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and was handed a designation of questionable heading into the weekend. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Hansen is expected to start and call defensive plays for the Texans on Sunday in the absence of Azeez Al-Shaair (groin).

The Buccaneers elevated Stick from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against Green Bay, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Stick signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in early September to serve as organizational QB depth. He'll now get a chance to be active on game day due to starter Baker Mayfield being set to miss multiple weeks with a thumb injury. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels is slated to start behind center during Mayfield's absence, and Stick will provide a veteran option -- albeit one with only six career games of regular-season action -- should Daniels need to exit or struggle significantly.

The Eagles elevated Deguara on Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

Deguara signed to Philadelphia's practice squad in mid-September after spending time with the 49ers and Giants during training camp. The Eagles are in need of tight-end depth with Dallas Goedert (knee) ruled out for Week 4 and both Grant Calcaterra (back) and Eli Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) still on IR. However, Philadelphia also elevated veteran Zach Ertz again Saturday, and all of Ertz, Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins figure to be ahead of Deguara in the pecking order.

Humphrey signed a practice-squad contract with the Broncos on Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Humphrey was released by Denver on Friday but quickly inked a deal to remain in the organization. However, Gabriel notes that the Broncos aren't elevating anyone for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco, so Humphrey won't be active while he resides on the practice squad. The veteran wideout has logged just three offensive snaps so far this season and didn't catch his only target.

The Panthers elevated Reed from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

If Reed gets into Sunday's matchup versus Detroit, it will be the first regular-season action of his NFL career. The 23-year-old spent all of last season on Carolina's practice squad but wasn't elevated at any point. Reed's opportunity comes after Xavier Legette (knee) was placed on IR on Saturday, and Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup.

The Jets elevated Shepard from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Shepard is set to suit up on game day for the second straight week. Last Sunday in Detroit, the veteran wideout logged a healthy workload of 30 offensive snaps -- third-most among New York wideouts -- and caught his only target for three yards. Shepard could also garner a significant role this Sunday with Adonai Mitchell again ruled out due to a finger injury.

The Chargers elevated Herbert from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's matchup in Seattle.

Herbert will get the opportunity to work his brother, QB Justin Herbert, for a second straight week. In Week 3 versus Buffalo, the tight-end Herbert logged just one offensive snap and six special-teams snaps without logging any stats. He'll likely have a minor role again this Sunday despite starter Charlie Kolar (forearm) having already been ruled out.
