Dekkers signed with the Saints' practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dekkers will now remain in New Orleans after being cut from the team's practice squad just three days prior. The 24-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL game after throwing for 3,806 yards, 32 touchdowns and 10 interceptions across 13 games for Iowa Western in 2024.

Willis was elevated from the 49ers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The 2023 seventh-round pick from Oklahoma remained with San Francisco's practice squad after missing the active roster in late August, and he'll suit up for the first time this season Sunday. With George Kittle (hamstring) sidelined for the next four games at least, Willis could remain with the 49ers' active roster for the foreseeable future and serve as the No. 3 tight end.

Martinez was elevated from the 49ers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Martinez signed with the 49ers' practice squad after failing to make the Jets' 53-man roster in late August. Brock Purdy (shoulder) and Kurtis Rourke (knee) are both expected to miss San Francisco's Week 2 matchup against the Saints, so Martinez's signing ensures depth at quarterback. He's expected to back up Mac Jones on Sunday.

Prentice will be elevated to Denver's active roster form their practice squad for Sunday's matchup versus the Colts, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Prentice will now serve as the team's fullback for the second straight week as he was also elevated ahead of the team's Week 1 victory over the Titans. He will now be eligible to be elevated two more times this season.

Deguara was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Deguara signed with Arizona's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August, but he's now set to join the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. The Cincinnati product will provide the Cardinals with additional tight end depth with Tip Reiman (foot) sidelined in Week 2.

Morris was elevated from Jacksonville's practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Bowling Green product remained with the Jaguars' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August, and he's now set to play in the Week 2 matchup against the Bengals. Morris most recently appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Bills in 2024, catching five of his eight targets for 36 yards and one touchdown. He's likely to play as a depth option in Jacksonville's tight end corps Sunday.

Mims was elevated from the Titans' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

The Fresno State product failed to make Tennessee's initial 53-man roster in late August, but he remained with the team's practice squad. With Tyjae Spears (ankle) and Kalel Mullings (ankle) likely both missing the Titans' Week 2 matchup against the Rams, Mims is expected to serve as a depth piece in the team's running back corps.

Berrios (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's contest against the Buccaneers.

Berrios' absence in Week 2 comes as no surprise, as the first-year Texan was unable to practice all week after missing the team's Week 1 loss to the Rams due to a hamstring injury. With Berrios set to miss his second consecutive game Monday night, Jaylin Noel will likely serve as Houston's top punt returner.

Latu was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The 25-year-old failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster at the end of August, but he remained with their practice squad and is now in line to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Chiefs. Latu's signing provides Philadelphia with extra depth at tight end in Week 2 with Dallas Goedert (knee) set to miss the Super Bowl IX rematch.

Bowers (knee) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Chargers, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

According to Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee, head coach Pete Carroll said after practice that he expects Bowers to play Monday, but the questionable tag was expected after the second-year tight end missed the first two practices of the week before practicing in a limited fashion and with a knee brace Saturday. Per Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site, Bowers said he "felt fine" during practice Saturday. All indications so far have been positive, although Carroll has often been optimistic with his injury assessments throughout his career. It's a tricky setup with the Raiders poised to kick off the last game of the week at 10:00 p.m. ET on Monday, so fantasy managers with Bowers would be wise to pick up Raiders' No. 2 tight end Michael Mayer as a contingency. Chargers tight ends Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin also are options if Mayer is already rostered.
