Saunders was cut from the Texans' practice squad with an injury settlement Tuesday.

Saunders signed with Houston's practice squad Sept. 29, but he will now return to the open market. The wide receiver has yet to make his NFL debut after going undrafted in April, and his next opportunity will likely come with another team's practice squad.

The Cardinals signed Quitoriano from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

The move gives the Cardinals extra depth at tight end on the 53-man roster after Hunter Long (knee) was placed on injured reserve, with Kenny Yeboah taking Quitoriano's place on Arizona's practice squad. Quitoriano has yet to take the field this season, but he's now slated in as the TE3 behind Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins. Quitoriano played in 17 regular-season games for the Falcons in 2025, when he contributed on both special teams and offense but did not see a target.

Bankston was signed to the Packers' practice squad Tuesday.

Bankston will return to the practice squad with Green Bay after being released by the team Sept. 29. The running back has yet to be elevated to the active roster for a contest this season, and he could get his chance Week 5 against the Bears if Chris Brooks (ankle) is unavailable.

The Cardinals signed Yeboah to the practice squad Tuesday.

With Hunter Long (knee) on injured reserve, the Cardinals addressed the tight end position by signing Teagan Quitoriano from the practice squad to the active roster, with Yeboah taking Quitoriano's place on the scout team. Yeboah last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Jets, when he contributed on both offense and special teams and finished with five catches (on eight targets) for 47 yards and a touchdown across nine games.

The Cardinals placed Long (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Long left Sunday's game against the Giants due to a knee injury, which is severe enough for the sixth-year pro to go on injured reserve. As such, Long will be required to miss at least the next four games, so Week 9 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 8 is the earliest he is eligible to return. In order to add more depth at tight end behind Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins, the Cardinals signed 2022 fifth-rounder Teagan Quitoriano from the practice squad to the active roster.

Cooper (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve by the Packers on Tuesday.

Cooper suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, and he will now spend the rest of the season on IR. In his absence, Zaire Franklin and Isaiah McDuffie will operate as the team's primary options at inside linebacker.

McMillan was signed to the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday.

McMillan will replace fellow running back Jacardia Wright (foot) on the team's practice squad following Wright's placement on the practice squad injured list Tuesday. The team decided to sign McMillan over veteran Joe Mixon (foot) after Mixon failed a physical.

The Eagles placed Bigsby (abdomen) on injured reserve Tuesday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Bigsby will require core muscle surgery for an abdominal injury that he picked up during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams. The fourth-year pro will be required to miss at least the next four games, so the earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 8. Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, and with Bigsby on IR, Will Shipley could be the Eagles' starting running back for Week 5 against the Jaguars on Sunday in London.

The Commanders placed Lane (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Lane was diagnosed with a fracture and dislocation of his left ankle, a season-ending injury he suffered during the Commanders' 30-13 loss to the Colts on Sunday in London. The second-year pro will finish the 2026 regular season with two catches on as many targets for 25 yards, 84 yards on seven punt returns and 295 yards on 12 kickoff returns across four games. Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown are candidates to take over as Washington's returners in Lane's absence.

The Broncos signed Ross to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

The undrafted rookie out of Virginia spent all of the offseason and training camp with the Broncos but was unable to crack the 53-man roster. He's back with Denver on the practice squad, and he's a candidate to be elevated to the active roster for as long as Pat Bryant (ankle) is sidelined.
