McVay confirms Bachman will handle punt returns Sunday as Los Angeles changes its special-teams personnel.

The preliminary evaluation found an MCL sprain and ankle sprain; Cleveland has not announced a return date.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. returned to limited practice Thursday with a knee injury after missing Wednesday's session, the Giants' official report said. Left tackle Andrew Thomas remained out with a groin injury for a second consecutive day before Sunday's game against Arizona.

Jalen Ramsey and Yahya Black are active; Rico Dowdle and Cleveland’s two injured interior linemen are inactive for Thursday night.

Pittsburgh's Sunday victory adds a career milestone before Thursday's trip to Cleveland.

Four-year agreement follows Atlanta’s August acquisition; the reported $78 million includes $46.5 million guaranteed.

Zeitler’s reported one-year contract adds an active-roster guard, while LaFleur leaves his starting timetable open.

McVay’s Tuesday update offers hope at safety while Los Angeles works through injuries in the secondary and at tight end before visiting Philadelphia.

The veteran returns to Houston after four previous seasons, adding an experienced running back and special-teams contributor before the Dallas game.

Dallas’ coach says he overcoached Dak Prescott and would change the kickoff after the tying field goal in the loss to Baltimore.

Washington will leave its guard and safety home as the team prepares to face Indianapolis; other injury decisions remain open.

San Francisco expects no long absences for the three starters, while Mykel Williams approaches a practice return with Week 5 eligibility.

Chicago got three touchdowns from its replacement quarterback, 90 receiving yards from Kalif Raymond and three takeaways against Philadelphia.

The reported agreement is pending a physical. Washington has not yet confirmed a completed 53-man roster move for the veteran back.

Denver trailed 16-0 at halftime, then survived three fourth-quarter lead changes before Bo Nix scored the winner and Talanoa Hufanga sealed a 30-26 victory.

Baltimore won at the gun, Las Vegas erased an 11-point deficit, and the 49ers and Vikings held off late challenges.

Dallas tied the first NFL game in Rio with seven seconds left. Lamar Jackson found Zay Flowers, called timeout, and Tyler Loop won it 34-31 as time expired.

Minnesota scored without relying on a productive offense, then held Tampa Bay to three second-half field goals in a 23-16 win.

A hook-and-ladder opened the scoring, but George Kittle’s second fourth-quarter touchdown decided San Francisco’s 36-30 win.

Saturday elevations add receiver and linebacker depth after New York ruled five players out Friday.

Baun is also out, with Trotter expected to start beside Campbell against the Rams.

Mykel Williams is questionable after a full Friday practice; Bosa says a Week 6 return remains possible.

Seattle gets its quarterback back, while Washington turns to Marcus Mariota and both teams adjust to Friday injury decisions.

New York’s leading defense has adjusted with Andre Cisco and Dane Belton, but Detroit brings a 31-point-per-game attack.
