The Panthers activated Moton (illness) off the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Moton has been dealing with blood clots in his lung since the summer but appears closer to being ready to make his return. The Panthers will now have 21 days to officially activate the 2017 second-round pick, or else he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the season.

Campbell is expected to miss game action after spraining his right knee during Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Per Wolfe, the injury isn't believed to be as bad as the MCL tear Campbell sustained back in November of last year, and he hasn't been placed on the Patriots' injured reserve list as of Tuesday. Until he's back in football shape, rookie first-rounder Caleb Lomu projects to step in at left tackle.

Greenlaw's appeal of a one-game suspension was denied by the NFL on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The suspension stemmed from Greenlaw's actions during the 49ers' Week 5 win over the Seahawks, when he used his helmet to headbutt Ernest Jones during a skirmish on Seattle's sidelines. Greenlaw was unsuccessful in his appeal, so he'll be sidelined for San Francisco's Week 6 home game against the Commanders on Monday. With Garret Wallow (hamstring) facing a multi-game absence, Luke Gifford figures to step into a starting role at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and Jaden Dugger while Greenlaw is sidelined.

The Panthers placed Jackson (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Jackson will miss the remainder of the campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery. He was also nursing a knee injury and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2027 campaign.

Sherfield reverted to Buffalo's practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sherfield did not draw any targets in his seven offensive snaps during Monday's 37-34 overtime win against the Rams, but he did record two tackles (one solo) on special teams. Whether he's elevated again in Week 6 might depend on the availability of DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer, who both missed Monday's action due to shoulder injuries.

Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Tuesday that Garrett (knee) will not return to practice this week and will not play against the Cardinals on Sunday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Garrett underwent knee surgery following the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Australia and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. He's eligible to return from IR now that he's missed the four-game minimum, but Garrett has not progressed enough in his recovery to practice, even in a limited capacity. A six-week recovery timeline for the superstar pass rusher's return was reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and ESPN in late September, and if that timeline is accurate, then Garrett could be back in action for Week 7 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 25.

The Seahawks signed Jones to their practice squad Tuesday.

Jones is set to remain in Seattle despite having been waived from the team's active roster earlier in the day. The 29-year-old had played almost exclusively on special teams across the first four outings of the campaign and will likely be confined to a similar role if activated for another game.

Cameron caught three of six targets for 43 yards during the Jaguars' 19-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday in London. He also returned one kickoff for 18 yards and added a tackle on special teams.

Cameron opened Sunday's game in style, when he took the first kickoff of the contest 90 yards to the house for a touchdown, but that score ended up being nullified by a holding penalty on the Jaguars. The rookie sixth-rounder still managed to contribute offensively and finished third on the Jaguars in catches, targets and receiving yards, including a 32-yard catch early in the third quarter. Cameron's 22 offensive snaps were fourth-most among Jacksonville wide receivers, but his 6-97-1 receiving line (10 targets) over the last three weeks is noticeably better than Brian Thomas (3-25-1 on six targets) in that same span. The Jaguars will stay in London for a Week 6 AFC South showdown against the Texans on Oct. 18.

Dallas signed Demercado to its 53-man roster Tuesday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

The Cowboys waived Demercado ahead of their Week 5 contest versus the Buccaneers, but he's now back with the club as it prepares for Week 6. As long as starter Javonte Williams and Tyler Goodson remain available, Demercado projects to be used only sparingly, if at all.

Pitre will not need surgery and will not need to be placed on injured reserve as a result of the shoulder injury he suffered during Sunday's game at Tennessee, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pitre was wearing a sling after leaving Sunday's contest early, but it looks like he avoided a season-ending injury. Per Wilson, Pitre is considered week-to-week as the Texans gear up for a contest against the Jaguars in London in Week 6. It would be pretty surprising if he didn't at least sit out that game as he recovers, but he hasn't been officially ruled out yet.
