Hall (oblique) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Hall was held out of practice all week and will miss a second consecutive game due to an oblique injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday that he "expects [Hall] back after the bye," which puts the 2023 second-rounder on track to return for the Seahawks' Week 9 road contest against the Commanders, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Uchenna Nwosu will continue to see more rotational snaps at outside linebacker behind starters Boye Mafe and DeMarcus Lawrence while Hall is sidelined.

Woolen (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Woolen registered an FP-LP-FP practice log this past week, and his lack of an injury tag indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol heading into Monday's game. His return will mean less snaps in the secondary for Nehemiah Pritchett and Derion Kendrick.

The Broncos signed Ehlinger to the practice squad Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Ehlinger primarily served as the Broncos' emergency quarterback early in the season, but he never entered a game. He was bounced from the active roster Friday but quickly rejoined the team.

Love (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Love missed three of the Seahawks' last four games due to a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice all week, and his status for Monday night's game may not be officially known until the Seahawks announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes prior to the 10:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada would see their snaps on defense decrease if Love is cleared to return.

Meyers (knee/toe), who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, will have his status determined by a pregame workout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Meyers resumed practicing in a limited capacity Friday after having been a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, and he now looks like a true game-time decision for Week 7. Fantasy managers will want to prepare to have another lineup option available in the event that Meyers is made inactive for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. With tight end Brock Bowers (knee) expected to sit out versus Kansas City, an absence on Meyers' part would position receivers Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton and tight end Michael Mayer as the Raiders' top pass-catching options. After facing the Chiefs, Las Vegas will go on bye Week 8.

Witherspoon (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Witherspoon has been working through a lingering knee injury that has sidelined him for four of the Seahawks' last five games. He ended the week with back-to-back full practices, which indicates that he is leaning more toward the probable side of playing Monday. Witherspoon's return would mean less snaps to go around at cornerback for Nehemiah Pritchett and Derion Kendrick.

The Eagles elevated Jenkins from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.

Jenkins has been on the Eagles' practice squad all season with Saturday's elevation marking his first of the campaign. He's likely to serve primarily on special teams, if he is active Sunday against the Vikings.

Bowers (knee), who is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is not expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bowers returned to practice as a limited participant Friday after having sat out Wednesday and Thursday, but the second-year tight end is expected to miss a third straight contest due to his lingering PCL injury. The Raiders will then benefit from a Week 8 bye, which Bowers will use to rest up and target a return to action Week 9 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 2. Michael Mayer will operate as Las Vegas' top tight end if Bowers is indeed inactive, confirmation of which will arrive no later than 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe) appears a true game-time decision.

The 49ers activated Givens (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday.

Givens started the regular season on injured reserve after sustaining a pectoral injury during training camp in early August. He was a full participant in practice all week, and his activation from IR indicates that he is on track to play against the Falcons on Sunday, though he's still listed as questionable.

The 49ers waived Willis on Saturday.

Willis was signed to the active roster in mid-September to give the 49ers added depth at tight end after George Kittle was placed on injured reserve due to a torn hamstring he sustained against the Seahawks in Week 1. With Kittle activated from IR on Saturday, Willis is no longer needed on the 49ers' active roster, though the latter could remain in San Francisco and sign with the team's practice squad.
