Abdullah is questionable for Monday's matchup against New Orleans due to an illness, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Abdullah wasn't originally on Atlanta's injury report, but he was added Saturday afternoon after coming down with an illness. The 26-year-old has logged 47 defensive snaps and two tackles through three games this season.

Green Bay placed Brinson (calf/groin) on injured reserve Saturday.

Brinson hurt his calf during the preseason and didn't suit up for the Packers' first three games. He logged a limited practice this Wednesday but slipped and injured his groin, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, and was then a DNP both Thursday and Friday. Though Brinson's placement on IR means the Packers now have an open roster spot, they didn't add anyone to the active roster or elevate any players ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, so they'll enter that contest with a 52-man roster.

Jennings (knee) won't play Monday against the Falcons, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Jennings suffered a knee injury last Sunday versus the Raiders and wasn't able to practice at all this week. Unsurprisingly, he's been ruled out from playing on Monday Night Football. With Carl Granderson (ankle) also out this week, both Myles Cole and Chris Rumph seem to in line for larger roles on defense.

The Rams signed Bachman from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Saturday.

Bachman spent a portion of training camp with the Rams before signing to the practice squad in early September. He's evidently made a positive impression, as Los Angeles has elected to promote him to the active roster despite the fact that he's yet to see gameday action this season. Bachman will assume the roster spot vacated by tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle), who landed on IR on Friday. However, Bachman doesn't stand to see many opportunities on offense with the Rams currently fielding a relatively healthy wideout corps.

The Giants elevated Haener from their practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Haener was active for last Sunday's win against Tennessee but didn't get into the game. He was subsequently waived Monday after New York traded for J.J. McCarthy, but Haener then rejoined New York as part of the team's practice squad Wednesday. His elevation for Week 4 likely means Haener will back up Jameis Winston for a second straight week, as Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com notes that McCarthy likely hasn't yet had enough time to familiarize himself with the Giants' playbook.

Brown (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Monday's Week 4 matchup against Atlanta.

Brown missed last Sunday's loss to Las Vegas due to a hamstring injury. However, he logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and has been cleared to suit up Monday. Brown's primary role for the Saints this season has been as a kick and punt returner, and he has no targets on offense so far while logging nine offensive snaps through two games.

The Broncos signed Prentice from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Prentice had been elevated from the practice squad for each of the first three weeks of the campaign, so this move was necessary for the fullback to continue to see action on game days. The 29-year-old has logged most of his work this season on special teams but does have one catch on one target for two yards over 18 offensive snaps.

Seattle signed Jones from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The Seahawks needed running-back depth ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Chargers after rookie Jadarian Price (chest) was placed on IR. Jones should slide into the team's No. 3 RB role behind Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. Jones was previously elevated from the practice squad twice this season and has logged 39 snaps, all on special teams.

Hansen (knee) has been deemed questionable to play against Dallas on Sunday.

Hansen played all 71 of Houston's defensive snaps in Week 3 versus Indianapolis but picked up a knee issue along the way. He logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and was handed a designation of questionable heading into the weekend. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Hansen is expected to start and call defensive plays for the Texans on Sunday in the absence of Azeez Al-Shaair (groin).

The Buccaneers elevated Stick from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against Green Bay, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Stick signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in early September to serve as organizational QB depth. He'll now get a chance to be active on game day due to starter Baker Mayfield being set to miss multiple weeks with a thumb injury. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels is slated to start behind center during Mayfield's absence, and Stick will provide a veteran option -- albeit one with only six career games of regular-season action -- should Daniels need to exit or struggle significantly.
