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.
Regular-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.

Arizona will keep its 2024 first-round receiver out of Sunday's game against Detroit while the deal is completed, and the remaining dispute is reportedly over the year of a second-round pick.
Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson, Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and Broncos guard Ben Powers drew the largest fines, and five players were docked for hip-drop tackles.
Dell, Braden Smith and Kayden McDonald returned to practice Wednesday. Houston still must make separate decisions on their activation.
