Jones (calf) is expected to play in Monday night's game against the Broncos, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reported Saturday.

Coach Andy Reid said Jones should be all set to suit up for Monday's divisional rivalry. With this context, Jones' minor participation in Saturday's session was likely more for vet rest than anything else.

The Bears signed Moss to the practice squad and elevated him to the active roster Saturday.

The Bears waived Moss during cutdown day. The quarterback cleared waivers and signed back with the team's practice squad Saturday. The Bears required the QB on the practice squad so they could elevate him to the active roster ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Panthers, where he will likely be the emergency No. 3 QB behind Caleb Williams and Case Keenum as Tyson Bagent (back) deals with an injury.

Ajiake (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game with the Ravens.

Ahiake was questionable to play in Week 1 as he nursed a hamstring injury he likely sustained during the week. The linebacker's absence will leave a void on special teams. Second-round rookie CJ Allen is a likely candidate to take over some of the snaps that Ajiake will miss.

The Lions restructured Sewell's contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Lions converted $18.6 million of Sewell's contract into a signing bonus to free up cap space. The team also restructured the contract of Amon-Ra St. Brown, pointing to a potential move for either a high-value player or increased depth sometime soon.

Jones (calf) was at Saturday's practice session but only appeared to participate in warm-ups, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

Jones did not have a helmet on and also had a compression sleeve on his left calf. If the defensive tackle was unable to participate in Saturday's session, there is a very strong chance he will not suit up for Monday's contest against the Broncos.

The Giants signed Cambre to a contract Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The Giants waived Cambre during cutdown day before signing the wide receiver to the practice squad Sept. 2. The second-year player out of Louisiana will likely be a reserve option if Malik Nabers (knee) has not quite recovered enough from his 2025 ACL tear to suit up.

The Vikings converted Rodgers' $1.5 million in playtime incentives to a signing bonus Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Rodgers' contract conversion rewards the cornerback's proven value as a starter throughout the 2025 season. The 28-year-old ended 2025 with 66 tackles (47 solo), including two forced fumbles, and four passes defensed for one pick-six over 17 regular-season games. Another facet of the revised contract is that it creates additional cap space for the Vikings to make more moves during the 2026 season.

Mayer signed a three-year, $45 million contract extension with the Raiders on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.

The deal includes $30 million guaranteed, and the $15 million APY ranks fourth among current tight ends. Mayer has operated as the Raiders' TE2 for the past couple of seasons, but the fourth-year pro is expected to operate in an expanded role Sunday against the Dolphins in the absence of Brock Bowers, who is expected to miss at least one or two games after undergoing a meniscus trim procedure Tuesday. Mayer finished the 2025 regular season with 35 catches (on 50 targets) for 328 yards and a touchdown across 13 games.

Kraft and the Packers reached an agreement on a four-year, $75 million contract extension worth up to $92 million Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The deal includes a $26.5 million signing bonus, making Kraft the NFL's highest-paid tight end and under contract with the Packers through 2030, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Kraft was one of the most productive tight ends through the first half of the 2025 regular season before his campaign abruptly ended in Week 9 due to a torn ACL. He's not on the injury report for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Vikings, and the 2023 third-rounder is expected to be one of the top targets for Jordan Love in the passing game, alongside fellow tight end Jonnu Smith and wide receivers Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden.

The Lions and St. Brown agreed to a restructured contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per Spotrac, $26 million of St. Brown's salary was converted into a signing bonus, which alone created $20.8 million in cap space to give the Lions more flexibility for the next two seasons. St. Brown has been one of the most productive receivers since being selected by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, having logged 100-plus catches and 1,000-plus receiving yards in each of the last four years. He finished the 2025 regular season with 117 catches (on a career-high 172 targets) for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns across 17 games. He'll once again lead a Lions pass-catching group that also includes Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa and Sam LaPorta.
