Williams reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Williams was elevated as a precaution but did not play in the game, even though Sean Tucker (quadriceps) was inactive. Williams suited up to watch Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell absorb all of the offensive snaps. The running back also did not see any reps with the special teams unit in the contest.

Stick reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Stick served as the team's backup quarterback behind Jalon Daniels for the third consecutive week as Baker Mayfield (thumb) remains sidelined but once again did not see any playing time. With Sunday's loss to the Steelers marking the third time this season the Buccaneers have activated Stick, they will now need to sign him to the active roster for the 2019 fifth-round pick to be eligible to appear in another game.

McLaughlin connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try during the Buccaneers' 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

It was the second time this season that McLaughlin made four field goals, including a 53-yarder in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter to force Sunday's game into overtime. He has yet to miss a kick this season, and his 14 made field goals are tied for third-most in the NFL behind Spencer Shrader (18) and Will Reichard (15). The Buccaneers will be on the road for three of their next four games, starting with Week 7 against the Panthers on Oct. 25.

Boswell went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 26-19 overtime win against Tampa Bay.

Boswell converted multiple field goals for the second week in a row and the fourth time overall in 2026. The kicker pulled his first field-goal attempt of the day wide left from 48 yards out in the first quarter, but he responded by adding makes from 52, 39 and 20 yards before the end of regulation. Boswell has now gone 13-for-17 on field-goal tries, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making all 12 of his PATs over the team's first six contests this year.

Smith reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Smith played 41 of the Steelers' 79 offensive snaps in their 26-19 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday, good for third on the team at wide receiver behind DK Metcalf (75) and Germie Bernard (74). With that said, he did not draw any targets, and his only impact on the box score in Week 6 was a tackle in kick coverage. Whether he's back with the active roster in Week 7 could depend on the status of Ben Skowronek (calf).

Johnson reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson played three offensive snaps in the Steelers' overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. The wide receiver did not appear in the box score.

Wicks caught two of four passes for 24 yards during the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Wicks' 24 receiving yards were his second-lowest of the season, but he still finished third among Eagles pass catchers in that category Sunday behind DeVonta Smith (75) and Dallas Goedert (61). Week 6 was the Eagles' first game with Tanner McKee under center, and with Jalen Hurts (calf) out for the rest of the season, the scoring floors of Wicks and the other Philadelphia pass catchers figure to be lower moving forward. That said, the Eagles have a juicy Week 7 matchup on Monday, Oct. 26 against the Cowboys, whose defense ranks in the bottom-10 in the league in fantasy points allowed per game to wide receivers.

Slye went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs during Sunday's 26-20 win over the Colts.

Slye was able to make multiple field goals in a contest for the second time this season and first time since Week 2. The kicker converted attempts from 29 and 56 yards in the third quarter before adding makes from 49 and 44 yards in the fourth. Slye has now gone 9-for-10 on field-goal attempts, including 1-for-2 from 50-plus yards, while making all seven of his extra-point tries over six contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Tillman reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Tillman was elevated to provide insurance at receiver as Chris Olave was dealing with an illness ahead of Sunday's victory over the Giants. Ultimately, Olave was able to suit up, relegating Tillman to a limited role, as he played only four snaps on offense and one on special teams while failing to produce any output in the box score.

Evans (Achilles) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Commanders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Evans limped to the locker room late in the second quarter and was grabbing at his right Achilles. He missed practice all week leading up to Monday night's game with Achilles soreness and a ribs injury, and it was apparent during the game that he wasn't close to 100 percent health. He still managed to catch three passes for 94 yards on five targets before heading to the locker room. It would be a shock if Evans returns against Washington, considering the 20-3 halftime lead and Evans' importance for the Niners moving forward this season. Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Malik Turner could close this one out at wideout against Washington.
