The Raiders signed Dorsett to their practice squad Tuesday.

Dorsett is in a familiar position after spending almost all of last season on Las Vegas' practice squad. He received one elevation but ended up being a healthy scratch for that contest. Dorsett has played in parts of eight NFL campaigns but hasn't appeared in a regular-season contest since 2023. He'll likely serve as organizational wideout depth for the Raiders, with a gameday elevation potentially dependent on the health of the team's WRs on the active roster.

Durant (hamstring) likely won't be suiting up for Sunday's game against the Texans, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer was not very optimistic about the starting cornerback's chances of playing in Week 4. Durant sustained a hamstring injury during the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the Commanders and has not practiced since suffering the injury. With current starter Shavon Revel (knee) also dealing with an injury, third option Ameer Speed may start at cornerback opposite DaRon Bland for Sunday's game.

Black turned four carries into 17 yards and failed to haul in his lone target during the 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Black accumulated 95 scrimmage yards on 22 touches through the first two games of the regular season and was a regular rotational piece in the offense behind Christian McCaffrey. However, Black observed most of Sunday's game from the sidelines, seeing the field for only eight of the 49ers' 54 offensive snaps (14.8 percent) compared to McCaffrey's 45 snaps. Keeping McCaffrey healthy is a top priority for the 49ers, so Black figures to see more playing time moving forward in order to preserve the former's workload. The 49ers will remain home for Week 4 to host the Broncos this Sunday.

The Giants placed Burns (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Burns' move to injured reserve comes just one day after the team announced that he would miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL suffered during Sunday's win over the Titans. The 2019 first-round pick recorded eight tackles (four solo) across his three outings before getting hurt, and in his absence, Kayvon Thibodeaux should take over as the primary edge rusher opposite Abdul Carter.

The Texans signed Ogunbowale off the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday.

Ogunbowale settled for the Raiders' practice squad after being trimmed from the team's roster during August's cutdown day. The running back now returns to Houston, where he participated in 129 offensive snaps and 281 special-teams snaps over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

The Raiders waived Shorter (undisclosed) from injured reserve Tuesday.

Shorter signed a reserve/future contract with Las Vegas in early January before landing on IR in May due to an undisclosed issue. It's unclear where he stands in his recovery, but the 26-year-old no longer will be free to sign with another club once he's healthy. Shorter has participated in 17 regular-season games over two NFL campaigns and has played primarily on special teams. He's yet to record a touch or target on offense.

Ramsey revealed Tuesday that he played through a broken right wrist during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

Ramsey broke his right wrist on the Steelers' first defensive series of Sunday's game, but he powered through the injury and finished with eight tackles (four solo) while playing every single defensive snap. Ramsey's status for Thursday's game against the Browns is dependent on whether he can wear a cast that would be protective enough to significantly reduce the risk of aggravation. Brandin Nichols (concussion) and Asante Samuel would both be in line for more defensive snaps if Jalen Ramsey is unable to play in Thursday's AFC North showdown.

The Packers released Bankston from their practice squad Tuesday.

Bankston's tenure in Green Bay has come to an end less than three weeks after first joining its practice squad. The 23-year-old wasn't elevated for any games and will now look to catch on with another team.

Bourne hauled in two passes on three targets for 22 yards during the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Bourne's first target of the game came early in the first quarter, but he wasn't looked at by Jacoby Brissett again until late in the fourth, when the duo connected on passes of 14 and eight yards on back-to-back plays on a drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by Brissett. Bourne played 48 of 87 offensive snaps (55.2 percent), which was third-most among Cardinals wide receivers behind Michael Wilson (81) and Marvin Harrison (67). Bourne is up to a 12-108-0 receiving line (14 targets) through three regular-season games, and he's seemingly ahead of Harrison and behind Wilson and Trey McBride on Brissett's go-to list in the passing game. Up next is a Week 4 road tilt against the Giants this Sunday.

The Raiders signed White from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

White began the campaign on Las Vegas' practice squad but has already been elevated for game day the maximum three times. He's collected three catches on six targets for 28 yards, with all three receptions going for touchdowns. Jack Bech (forearm) landed on injured reserve Tuesday, and White could immediately take Bech's role as the Raiders' No. 3 wide receiver.
