The 49ers placed Bartch (foot) on injured reserve Monday.

Bartch sprained his foot against Cleveland in Week 13 and will now be required to miss the remainder of the regular season. He'll be eligible to return to action if San Francisco makes the playoffs, but in the meantime Spencer Burford is slated to take over as the starter at left guard.

The Lions signed O'Connor (knee) to the practice squad Monday.

O'Conner appears to have fully recovered from a knee injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve Nov. 14. The veteran defensive lineman and the Lions reached an injury settlement one day later, and he appears to have recovered enough to return to Detroit as a member of the team's practice squad.

Dickerson is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chargers due to a calf injury.

Dickerson appeared to sustain the injury in the second quarter of Monday's game. Brett Toth will remain at left guard for as long as Dickerson is out of the game.

Morrison (hamstring) was estimated as a full participant in Monday's practice walkthrough, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Morrison has been dealing with a hamstring issue throughout the campaign and has missed each of Tampa Bay's past three games. While it's certainly promising that the rookie cornerback was deemed a full participant Monday, it's also worth noting that he logged three full practices last week and still didn't suit up Sunday against New Orleans. It remains to be seen if Morrison will be able to return to action against Atlanta on Thursday.

Wirfs (oblique) was considered a limited participant at the team's walkthrough Monday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official website reports.

Wirfs was unavailable for the team's Week 14 loss to the Saints due to an oblique injury that he suffered the week prior against Arizona. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Thursday night's contest against the Falcons.

The NFL suspended Cleveland for three games Monday due to violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy.

Cleveland has served mostly as a blocker on special teams this season, though his absence means Baltimore's depth on the offensive line will be depleted for the next three games. He's eligible to return Week 18 against the Steelers on Jan. 4.

Morris suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Morris drew the start at left tackle in Week 14, but he was forced to exit the game after just one play due to a knee injury. Esa Pole replaced him in the contest, and if Jawaan Taylor (elbow) remains sidelined moving forward, Pole could remain in the starting lineup.

Head coach Dave Canales said Monday that the Panthers won't open Hunt's (biceps) 21-day practice window this week, but there is optimism that the sixth-year offensive lineman will return before the end of the 2025 season, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Hunt was placed on injured reserve in mid-September after he tore his biceps during the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to practice, but there's a chance that the 2020 second-rounder could be activated off injured reserve before the end of the season. Jake Curhan will remain as Carolina's starting right guard for this Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Saints.

Teller (calf) is expected to miss Sunday's contest against the Bears, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Teller will be out again in Week 15 according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The offensive lineman is dealing with a calf injury, and Teven Jenkins will likely draw another start at right tackle in his absence versus Chicago.

Jones reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jones was elevated from the practice squad each of the past two weeks. He logged six of 62 offensive snaps Sunday against Tampa Bay and carried four times for 32 yards while also recording 16 snaps on special teams. Jones' offensive work Sunday came entirely in garbage time with the Seahawks holding a big lead, and he doesn't figure to be a big part of the offense in future games for which he's active unless there are injuries ahead of him in the RB pecking order.
