O'Connell is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers due to personal reasons.

O'Connell did not participate in practice Thursday and Friday while attending to a personal matter, putting his availability for Sunday's AFC West tilt in doubt. He was the emergency QB3 in Week 1 against the Dolphins, and with the Raiders not carrying a quarterback on the practice squad, Las Vegas may just go with Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza as its quarterbacks for Sunday if O'Connell is not available to be the QB3.

Gore played nine offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps in the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions last Thursday night.

Gore did not appear in the box score, but the running back was a frequent pass blocker for Josh Allen in the Bills' offense. The practice squad elevation also participated in kick and punt coverage as he managed his role as the No. 3 running back in Ty Johnson's (hamstring) absence.

The Eagles cut Gray (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Now that he's a free agent, Gray will be eligible to sign and play for a team once he's fully healthy, though his best chance of inking a deal would be to sign with an organization's practice squad. Gray was a third-round selection of the 49ers in the 2022 NFL Draft, and the 13 regular-season games he's appeared in during his pro career all came in his rookie year.

Dortch reverted to the Bills' practice squad Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Dortch played a total of 12 snaps (four on offense, eight on special teams) and was the Bills' primary returner on special teams, logging 36 yards on three punt returns and turning two kickoffs into 51 yards. It's the second consecutive game in which Dortch has been elevated to the active roster, and he's eligible to be elevated only once more for the rest of the regular season. Should that happen, he would need to be signed to the active roster in order to play for Buffalo.

The Saints signed Donaldson from the practice squad to the active roster Friday.

Donaldson will join a Saints backfield that is led by Travis Etienne, with Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller providing depth at the position. Kamara didn't play in the Saints' Week 1 overtime loss to the Lions, with Donaldson being elevated from the practice squad and logging two carries for four yards and one catch for minus-2 yards. Kamara is available for Sunday's game against the Ravens, so Donaldson figures to see most of his playing time on special teams rather than on offense.

Hawes accrued zero targets during Thursday's 41-31 victory over Detroit.

Hawes started Thursday. He played in 37 of the team's 74 offensive snaps, adding seven on special teams. However, the 25-year-old went without a catch (or target) for a second consecutive game. Hawes finished the 2025 campaign with 16 catches for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Although there's a chance he will find the end zone this season, he could have trouble doing anything other than block while Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are in the equation.

Davis returned one kickoff for 31 yards during Thursday's 41-31 win versus the Lions.

Davis logged just eight offensive snaps in Week 2 despite Ty Johnson (hamstring) being inactive, and he did not record any carries or receptions. It appears unlikely he'll have much fantasy utility in the near future unless starter James Cook misses time.

Saylors logged one tackle on kick coverage and two kick returns for 58 yards during Thursday night's 41-31 loss to the Bills.

Saylors did not play a single offensive snap in the contest, spending all 18 reps on special teams. Jahmyr Gibbs consumed almost all of the rushing work for the Lions, leaving Sione Vaki with just 11 offensive snaps and one carry to Saylors' none. Saylors' main role for the team will likely remain on special teams, and the third-year player may lose his roster spot once Isiah Pacheco (back) returns from injured reserve.

Wilson was cut from the Browns' practice squad Friday.

The Browns signed Jimmy Horn to the practice squad. To make room, Cleveland cut ties with Wilson, who will search for another opportunity. The 22-year-old finished his final collegiate season at Baylor, where he amassed 44 catches for 591 yards and five touchdowns. Wilson also played a pivotal role on special teams.

Vaki recorded one carry for seven yards and caught his only target for 13 yards during Thursday's 41-31 loss at Buffalo.

Vaki was on the field for 11 of the Lions' 65 offensive snaps in Week 2, a similar workload to what he saw in Week 1. Barring an injury to starter Jahmyr Gibbs, Vaki seems unlikely to get the ball more than a couple times in any given game.
