Saturday’s 4 p.m. Eastern time deadline for Week 10 roster moves brought one notable injured reserve move: the Patriots put running back TreVeyon Henderson on IR the day before they play the Lions in Munich. The Titans moved guard Peter Skoronski and punter Tommy Townsend to injured reserve and signed Thomas Morstead, the Packers got Chris Brooks and Skyy Moore back with Josh Jacobs out, and the Steelers activated first-round pick Derrick Harmon for Sunday night in Cincinnati. Moves by the Texans, Colts, Browns, Dolphins, Lions and Chiefs, plus Travis Etienne Jr.’s return in New Orleans, are in our Saturday injury updates. Friday’s moves are in this roundup, and every move is on our transactions page.
Patriots put TreVeyon Henderson on injured reserve
Henderson had already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Detroit (9:30 a.m. ET, 16:30 Cairo). Going on injured reserve means he will miss at least four more games. The move came eight days after the second-year back said he had recently gone through “an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms.” He has said his tests “came back positive and reassuring,” but that “the cause of this remains unknown and unexplainable.”
New England also activated center/guard Greg Van Roten and fullback Reggie Gilliam from injured reserve and elevated guard Andrew Rupcich from the practice squad. Mike Reiss pointed out what the team did not do. It did not elevate running back Terrell Jennings, which suggests Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) will be active. Without him, the Patriots would have only Corey Kiner and Lan Larison at running back. Stevenson was limited in both practices in Munich, and Mike Vrabel said Friday that he was feeling “pretty good.” Reiss added that cornerback Kindle Vildor was not elevated either, so Charles Woods should be back.
Titans sign Thomas Morstead after Skoronski and Townsend go to IR
Skoronski and Townsend were two of the five Titans who were ruled out on Friday for Sunday’s home game against the Jaguars (see Friday’s injury updates). Putting them on injured reserve keeps both out for at least four games and opened roster spots. Tennessee filled them with veteran punter Morstead, guard Chandler Zavala and defensive back Isaiah Oliver. Running back Michael Carter was waived. Receiver Xavier Restrepo and linebacker Dominique Hampton will be standard elevations for the game.

Packers get Chris Brooks and Skyy Moore back
Green Bay ruled out Jacobs (finger) on Friday, and on Saturday it activated running back Brooks and receiver Moore from injured reserve before Sunday’s game against Minnesota. Rob Demovsky noted that with Moore back to return kicks, the Packers released receiver Coleman Owen. Tight end Whyle, who had already been ruled out, went to injured reserve, and tight end Drake Dabney was elevated from the practice squad. The full Week 10 out list is in Friday’s final injury reports.
On the other side of that game, the Vikings elevated tight end Devin Culp and receiver Jeshaun Jones. T.J. Hockenson is out, and Ian Rapoport called Jones insurance in case Jordan Addison (thumb), who is questionable, cannot play. Culp also changed his jersey number from 48 to 83.
Steelers activate Derrick Harmon for Cincinnati
Harmon went on injured reserve on Oct. 10 and returned to practice this week after missing four games. He was listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Bengals, with both teams 6-2 and first place in the AFC North at stake. Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in 2025 played in four games this season, with one start, before he got hurt. He has 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. To make room, the Steelers waived cornerback Terell Smith.
Cowboys put Tyler Goodson on IR and sign James Mitchell
Goodson had been ruled out for Sunday’s home game against the 49ers, and Dallas moved him to injured reserve. Jon Machota reported the rest of the moves: outside linebacker Tyrus Wheat was waived, defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard was activated from injured reserve, and tight end James Mitchell was signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. Jeremy Fowler noted that Mitchell’s move is a signing, not a standard elevation. Running back Israel Abanikanda and cornerback Derion Kendrick were elevated.
Panthers bring back Xavier Legette
Carolina activated Legette from injured reserve before leaving for New Orleans. He had been out since he hurt his knee in the Week 2 win over Atlanta, a game in which he had a 55-yard catch. He gives the Panthers a fifth active receiver. They also elevated cornerbacks Marco Wilson and Corey Thornton, who both started against Denver, because rookie Will Lee III (hamstring) is questionable. It is Wilson’s third elevation of the season and Thornton’s second. Three other players were in their 21-day practice windows, offensive lineman Brady Christensen, cornerback Mike Jackson and running back Jonathon Brooks. None of them was activated, so all three are out against the Saints.

Also on Saturday
The Saints signed tackle Easton Kilty to the active roster, elevated kicker Charlie Smyth and put defensive tackle Christen Miller on injured reserve. The Bills activated defensive back Jordan Hancock, released Te’Cory Couch and elevated quarterback Shane Buechele before Sunday’s game against the Jets, who activated safety VJ Payne and waived offensive lineman Kohl Levao. The Cardinals activated tight end Hunter Long and elevated receiver Zay Jones. The Seahawks elevated cornerback Trevon Diggs and tackle Bobby Hart for their game against the Raiders. The Falcons downgraded linebacker Divine Deablo to out and elevated safety Jammie Robinson and linebacker T.J. Quinn.
In Cincinnati, cornerback Jalen Davis, receiver Andrei Iosivas and guard Brian Parker II were not activated from injured reserve, and the Bengals ruled all three out for Sunday night. The Chargers and Ravens play on Monday night, so their deadline is Sunday. Waiver claims on Marquise Brown and Fred Johnson, whom the Eagles waived on Friday, are due by 4 p.m. ET on Monday.
