The Titans placed Townsend (knee/Achilles) on IR on Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Townsend suffered a knee injury during the Week 7 loss to Cleveland and is also now dealing with an Achilles issue. His placement on IR means he'll be sidelined for at least four games. Thomas Morstead was signed by Tennessee from the practice squad to the active roster to take Townsend's role as the team's punter.

The Bills waived Couch on Saturday.

Buffalo needed to clear a roster spot for cornerback Jordan Hancock (hamstring) to be activated off IR, and Couch's cut was the resulting roster move. Couch had seen action in four games with the team, logging a 71 percent defensive snap share Week 8 versus Baltimore but playing exclusively on special teams during his other three appearances. He's now free to seek work with another organization, though he could end up back on Buffalo's practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Bills activated Hancock (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable to face the Jets on Sunday.

Hancock suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against Detroit and was subsequently placed on IR. He was designated to return Nov. 4 and is now eligible to return to action after being activated Saturday. Hancock was a full participant in all three Buffalo practices this week, so he seems to have a good chance of being active Sunday.

Baker (knee) was not activated from the reserve/PUP list ahead of Sunday's clash against Indianapolis.

Baker was designated to return to practice Wednesday, but he isn't yet ready for game action. The veteran cornerback hasn't yet played for Miami after signing a one-year contract to join the organization last March. Baker's next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Nov. 22, in Buffalo.

Culp was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Culp signed with Minnesota's practice squad Oct. 28, and this is his first elevation since joining the organization. He last suited up for regular-season action in 2025 for Tampa Bay, when he caught his only target over 13 games for a six-yard touchdown. Assuming Culp is active Sunday, he'll boost the depth of a Vikings tight-end corps that will be without starter T.J. Hockenson (wrist).

The Vikings elevated Jones from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Jones has gotten into two games so far this season, catching his lone target for a 32-yard gain over nine offensive snaps. With Jauan Jennings (calf) ruled out for Sunday's battle against Green Bay and Jordan Addison (thumb) deemed questionable, Jones could serve as important depth at wideout for Kirk Cousins in the veteran quarterback's 2026 Minnesota debut.

West (knee) won't be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's Week 10 clash against the Cowboys, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

West has been on IR since Sept. 23 due to a knee injury. He upgraded to a full practice session Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, but the 49ers aren't yet ready to activate him. Prior to getting hurt, West logged action in two games, recording five tackles (one solo) over 49 defensive snaps and five special-teams snaps.

The 49ers aren't activating Hobbs (adductor) ahead of Sunday's tilt against Dallas, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Hobbs had his 21-day practice window opened Nov. 4, so the 49ers still have ample time to activate him before he'd need to miss the rest of the season. The veteran cornerback hasn't yet made his regular-season San Francisco debut after signing with the team on a one-year contract last March. Hobbs did manage to log a trio of full practices this week, so he seems to be progressing well toward a return to action.

Eboigbe (ankle) is questionable to suit up Monday against Baltimore.

Eboigbe hurt his ankle last Sunday against Houston and missed Thursday's practice. He was able to log limited sessions Friday and Saturday, however, to give himself a chance to play Monday. If Eboigbe can't give it a go, Nick Barrett could pick up many of his defensive snaps.

Perryman (pectoral), who is on IR, is officially questionable to suit up against Baltimore on Monday.

Perryman has missed the entire season to date due to a pectoral injury. He was designated to return Nov. 4 and logged an LP/FP/FP practice progression this week. Perryman would have to be activated from IR in order to make his season debut Monday.
