Thompson (undisclosed) was a participant in Monday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Thompson has returned to practice after missing the last two weeks with an undisclosed issue. It remains to be seen what practice and game-day designation the wide receiver will receive Wednesday, but there is a chance the fourth-round rookie could suit up for Sunday's opener against the Cardinals.

The Raiders signed Gurd to the practice squad Monday.

The Raiders waived Gurd on August 29 in preparation for the league's cutdown day. The undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati cleared waivers and will now have a chance to play for the team that originally took a shot on him. The tight end will now provide additional depth for Brock Bowers from the practice squad.

Small signed to the Lions' practice squad Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The running back ended the 2025 campaign on Detroit's practice squad, signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January, made the initial 53-man roster out of training camp this year and then got waived Sept. 2. Small did suffer a concussion during the Lions' final preseason, but he was let go without an injury designation or settlement, freeing him up to sign back to Detroit once he cleared waivers. The former Tennessee Volunteer has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game since coming out of college in 2024.

The Chargers cut Jennings from the practice squad Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings signed with the practice squad last Tuesday after being waived from the Chargers' 90-man roster on cutdown day. The wide receiver was cut to make room for cornerback Isas Waxter, who signed with the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Gordon (ribs) was able to practice with contact in Monday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Gordon has finally returned to practice without the non-contact jersey. The running back may be ready to go for Miami's Week 1 matchup with the Falcons on Sunday, but the team could hold him out. Gordon is set to be the No. 3 option behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, meaning the team will have no reason to throw him back into the fire when he could rest a week and return to full health.

Simon was waived from the Commanders' practice squad Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

The tight end was let go to make room for wide receiver Van Jefferson. Simon signed to the Washington practice squad last week. The former undrafted free-agent signing spent the 2025 campaign on the Falcons' practice squad but has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.

Kacmarek (undisclosed) was a full participant in Monday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Kacmarek was considered week-to-week after the Dolphins' final preseason game against the Falcons on Aug. 28. The tight end has recovered from his undisclosed issue quickly and is back in action just in time for the team's Week 1 matchup with the Raiders.

Jefferson signed with the Commanders' practice squad Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The wide receiver was released by Washington on Aug. 30. Jefferson has 166 career regular-season catches for 2,226 yards and 13 touchdowns across six different NFL campaigns. With the Commanders, he joins a receiver room that thins out significantly after veterans Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs.

The Giants released Slayton on Monday, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.

In the wake of Slayton getting cut, New York boasts a receiving corps led by Malik Nabers (knee) and supplemented by Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham. Considering the group is only four deep ahead of Week 1, it wouldn't be a surprise if Monday's move is merely procedural, and Slayton could be back on the Giants' practice squad, from which he would be allowed to get elevated a maximum of three times on game days.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) looks "awesome" in his rehab from a torn ACL, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Macdonald added that Charbonnet looks "dang good." The running back is on reserve/PUP to begin the season and will miss at least the first four games, but it sounds like he could return sometime next month. Seattle's backfield picture remains murky with rookie Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson all options to see snaps. Adding Charbonnet's name to the mix will only muddy the picture. Price looks like the best bet for fantasy production, but the coaching staff has an affinity for Charbonnet, especially near the goal line.
