Batty (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Batty sustained the knee injury in training camp and has missed the entire season to this point. He remains questionable for Minnesota's Week 7 matchup against the Eagles but should be nearing his debut.

The Commanders activated Cosmi (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, but he remains questionable to play Sunday against the Cowboys.

Cosmi is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered during the Commanders' playoff run in January. His activation from the PUP list indicates he is on track to play in Week 7, and if he is cleared to play, he'll likely take over as the starting right guard while Andrew Wylie reverts to a reserve role.

Murphy was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.

Murphy had appeared in all six of the Chargers' games this season, tallying 12 total tackles. He's played primarily on special teams throughout his career and is a decent candidate to find a new opportunity around the league.

The Commanders activated Jones (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Jones sustained a hamstring injury during the Commanders' Week 2 loss to the Packers, which was severe enough for him to necessitate a stint on injured reserve. He was a full participant in practice all week, but his activation from IR indicates that he is on track to play in Week 7. Jones would serve on special teams and in a reserve role at cornerback should he be cleared to play Sunday.

Monk (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Monk has been sidelined all season but is now cleared for his return. He's still considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against Arizona, and his status will become official shortly before kickoff.

Hekker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to an illness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The illness is a new issue for Hekker, who is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. The Titans don't have a punter on the practice squad, which means Joey Slye and Brandon Allen may have to handle punting and holding duties, respectively, if Hekker is not cleared to play.

Schlottmann is expected to start at center Sunday against the Broncos, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

John Michael Schmitz (concussion) has been ruled out and won't travel with the team to Denver. That leaves Schlottmann next in line at center. He played 32 snaps after Schmitz departed in Week 6, so Schlottmann should have some chemistry with Jaxson Dart.

The Jets activated Weston (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

The undrafted rookie logged a full practice Friday, and his removal from injured reserve indicates that he is on track to make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday. Weston opened the season on IR due to a groin injury.

Golston (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Golston played in both Weeks 5 and 6 after missing time with an injury earlier in the season. It's unclear how serious his neck issue is, but he won't travel with the team to face the Broncos in Week 7. Golston has contributed primarily on special teams.

Haggard (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Haggard sustained a shoulder injury during the Buccaneers' Week 6 win over the 49ers, which prevented him from practicing all week. He'll be sidelined for Monday night's contest, which puts 2024 sixth-rounder Elijah Klein on track to start at left guard for the second time this season.
