Funderburk (undisclosed) reverted to the Panthers' injured-reserve list Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.

The cornerback was waived/injured by Carolina a day ago. He will now need to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play in 2026. Funderburk recorded five tackles during the preseason.

Bell (eye) reverted to Cleveland's injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bell played in only one preseason contest due to an eye injury. He was waived/injured Sunday and went unclaimed, resulting on his placement on IR. Bell will need to sit out the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.

Sanders (undisclosed) reverted to the Broncos' injured-reserve list Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Sanders went unclaimed after being placed on waivers Sunday. The linebacker is now set to spend the entirety of the 2026 season on the Broncos' injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Bishop (suspension, undisclosed) reverted to the Bear's injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The move to IR means Bishop will be forced to miss the entire 2026 season unless an injury settlement is reached with Chicago. If he signs with another team, then Bishop will be required to miss three games while serving a suspension for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Banks (undisclosed) reverted to the Falcons' injured reserve list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Banks was waived by the Falcons on Sunday with an injury designation. The linebacker will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Minkins (undisclosed) reverted to the Cardinals' injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Minkins was not claimed off waivers by another team after being waived with an injury designation Sunday.

Minkins recorded two tackles (one solo) during the Cardinals' 42-38 loss to the Packers in Friday's preseason finale.

Bamba signed with the Jets' practice squad Monday, Eric Allen and Amanda Vogt of the team's official site report.

The cornerback suffered a knee injury during New York's preseason opener against Tampa Bay and missed the rest of training camp, but he appears to be healthy again. Bamba broke up four passes in that game and should have a chance to develop now that he's a member of the practice squad.

The Titans claimed Smith off waivers Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

The Chiefs waived Smith on Sunday. The cornerback suffered an injury in Friday's preseason finale against the Seahawks, but has promptly recovered from the minor rib issue. Smith was likely claimed as additional secondary depth because Joshua Williams (pectoral) will miss at least the first four games of the regular season on injured reserve.
