Morrison (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Tuesday.

Morrison was absent from practice for the second straight day in preparation for the Buccaneers' Thursday night showdown against the Cowboys. He will likely need to upgrade his practice availability Wednesday for an opportunity to play in Week 5.

Kieft (elbow) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday.

Kieft was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day. The 28-year-old was unable to play in Week 4 against the Packers with an elbow injury likely suffered the game prior. His availability is unclear with the Buccaneers on a short week against the Cowboys Thursday night. He will likely need to notch another productive practice Wednesday to increase his chances of playing.

Trotter (knee) was a full participant in practice Tuesday.

Trotter opened the week as a limited participant in practice Monday with a knee injury sustained in Week 4. With a full practice Tuesday, the 21-year-old should be ready to go for the Buccaneers' Thursday night matchup against the Cowboys. The second-round rookie has 33 tackles (17 solo), including one sack, one pass deflection, and one touchdown in three games this season.

The Seahawks placed Wright (foot) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

Wright was the only remaining running back on Seattle's practice squad, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. The 26-year-old is ineligible to be elevated to the active roster for the next four games, adding to an already injured running back group, with Zach Charbonnet (Knee - ACL) and Jadarian Price (chest) both on injured reserve.

McLaughlin didn't practice Tuesday due to a right groin/hip injury.

Though he wasn't included on the team's initial Week 5 injury report released Monday, McLaughlin's absence from practice a day later makes his status worth tracking as Thursday's game against the Cowboys approaches. For the time being, the Buccaneers still seem to be proceeding with the expectation that McLaughlin will be ready to play Thursday, as Greg Auman of Fox Sports relays that the team hasn't reached out to free agent kicker B.T. Potter, who served as McLaughlin's backup in the preseason.

Gray was released from the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

Gray appeared in 34 career regular-season games, recording 31 rushes for 79 yards and catching 16 of 18 targets for 104 yards. The 26-year-old did not appear in a game for Cleveland since signing with the team.

The Colts signed Watkins to the practice squad Tuesday.

Watkins last appeared in a regular-season game for Philadelphia in 2023, where he caught 15 of 21 targets for 142 yards and one touchdown in nine games. The 28-year-old has since struggled to remain healthy. Should he see the field with the Colts, he will likely act as a depth piece at wide receiver.

Jackson appears "unlikely" to play Sunday against the Falcons due to a "rarer type of ankle sprain" that could put him at risk of missing multiple games, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The ankle injury sidelined Jackson for the entire second half of last Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans, resulting in backup Tyler Huntley directing the offense for the final two quarters. Huntley now appears to be trending toward the Week 5 start while Jackson recovers from the ankle issue, which Rapoport suggests is an "unconventional" injury that's not necessarily a low- or high-ankle sprain. The Ravens are expected to take a week-by-week approach with their star quarterback, who isn't believed to be at risk of a long-term absence but could end up sitting out more than one game, depending on how he responds to rehab.

Miller (groin) was cleared of any injury designation Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Miller was waived by the Giants with an injury settlement in mid-August. Now, with no injury designation, the 27-year-old can re-sign with the Giants this season. The third-year pro played two games with New York in 2024, recording seven special teams snaps and one on offense.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Overshown (hamstring) is a "long shot" to play Thursday night against Tampa Bay, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Overshown will likely miss a fourth consecutive game with the Cowboys playing on a short-week Thursday night. The 26-year-old has not practiced since leaving Week 1 with a hamstring injury. Shemar James will continue to see more playing time in his absence.
