Weekly rows describe the supplied week, not a dated transaction. Observed dates show when a record was checked, not when a contract or roster move took effect. Conflicting records remain separate. Only retained observations are shown; game-day status belongs to the availability report.
These recorded moves do not form a complete career history. Current membership and effective time are not inferred from these moves.

Link to this moveRegular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.

Jordan Battle intercepted Malik Willis twice and Ja'Marr Chase made a one-handed 45-yard score as Cincinnati reached 3-2 and left Miami at 0-5.
Cincinnati declared Swayze Bozeman out, Chicago is unlikely to get Dayo Odeyingbo back, and the Giants are checking Colton Hood for a concussion, while Houston lost David Montgomery earlier in Nashville.
Both receivers were questionable after injuries in the loss to Jacksonville, with Chase in the concussion protocol, but are expected to face the winless Dolphins.
