The Lions signed Ricci to the practice squad Sunday.

Ricci was cut by the Vikings Aug. 26 and had not yet been signed to a practice squad or roster this regular season. The tight end likely was signed for additional depth amid the absences of Sam LaPorta (back), Brock Wright (neck) and Shane Zylstra (ankle).

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Collins suffered a quad injury during Cleveland's loss to the 49ers on Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN reports.

Collins is set to undergo imaging on his quad after being carted off in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup. If the 30-year-old is forced to miss any games, Shelby Harris should fill in as one of the team's starting defensive tackles.

Restrepo (ankle) was carted off the field toward the end of the fourth quarter of the Titans' 25-3 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Restrepo made his NFL regular-season debut in Week 12 and finished with two catches (on six targets) for 26 yards. He was elevated to the active roster to play in Sunday's game and hauled in his lone target for 15 yards, but he suffered a serious ankle injury late, which puts his availability for the rest of the 2025 season in jeopardy.

Gilman recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup in Thursday's 32-14 loss to the Bengals.

Gilman also played on all 83 defensive snaps, the seventh time this season he's played on every defensive snap. Gilman has 34 tackles (18 solo), three pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble in seven games with the Ravens since being traded by the Chargers in early October.

Al-Shaair cleared the league's concussion protocol and returned to Sunday's game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Al-Shaair did not miss much before returning to his role as the Texans' middle linebacker and defensive signal caller. Christian Harris will take a backseat to the captain and will likely not have many more defensive snaps.

Jones finished with six tackles (one solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Thursday's 32-14 loss to the Bengals.

The defensive tackle stripped the ball and fell on it himself as the Ravens tried to keep themselves alive for a late comeback. Jones also played on more half of the defensive snaps for the 10th time in his 11 games this season. He has 33 tackles (15 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two pass breakups on the year.

Starks made six tackles (one solo) in Thursday's 32-14 loss to the Bengals.

The safety has now made at least four stops in every game but two this season. He has also played on more than 90 percent of the defensive snaps in all 12 contests. For the year, Starks has 65 tackles (34 solo) and two interceptions.

Al-Shaair is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.

Al-Shaair is being evaluated by medical staff after going down on a tackle in the fourth quarter. Before leaving, the middle linebacker logged eight tackles (four solo). If the captain is unable to return, Christian Harris will likely take over the middle linebacker position, with play-calling duties for the Texans' defense going to Henry To'oTo'o.

Buchanan finished with seven tackles (five solo) in Thursday's 32-14 loss to the Bengals.

The rookie fourth-round pick also played on at least 58 percent of the defensive snaps for the 11th time in 12 games this season. Buchanan now has 87 tackles (48 solo) on the year, to go along with a pass breakup and a forced fumble.

Juszczyk (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Juszczyk exited in the fourth quarter with a rib injury. The fullback is a key part of the 49ers' rushing attack, and if he is unable to return, the role will likely be filled by a blocking tight end such as Luke Farrell or Jake Tonges
