The Browns are quickly getting healthy in the backfield, so Clayton’s services were no longer needed as insurance for third-stringer Chris Ogbonnaya. Clayton wound up with a pathetic 12 yards on eight carries during his short stay.

It was an addition to the report. Never a great sign, especially on a short week. The Buccaneers aren’t carrying a practice-squad kicker, so expect some workouts as they try to find someone you won’t be starting in fantasy football with Jalon Daniels under center.

He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Long had played 91 snaps in his first four weeks with the Cardinals and will cede blocking duties to promoted practice-squadder Teagan Quitoriano for those of you in points-per-blocked-players leagues.

We’d heard word through former Eagles EDGE Brandon Graham on a post-game show that this was on the table following Week 4, but it’s still a stunner to see it come to fruition. Johnson cites that his “personal and family priorities” have changed in his post about retiring. The stalwart Eagles right tackle made two first-team All-Pro appearances and three second teams, along with six Pro Bowls. Markel Bell started in his stead in Week 4 and should be expected to get the playing time at right tackle going forward.

His 21-day practice window will open up. There’s obviously no rush to promote him to the active roster with the Browns already dressing three quarterbacks every week, so this is probably just starting a ticking clock on a trade or cut from the quarterback room.

Williams wasn’t eligible to return in Week 4 because of reserve/PUP list rules. It appears that he’ll have a real chance to go against Seattle in what figures to be a drag-out battle between two of the NFC West’s best.

This move makes much more sense in the wake of the Joe Mixon signing not actually coming to fruition. Henry will take Jadarian Price’s spot on the roster. Henry finished the preseason with 26 carries for 105 yards and a touchdown for the Commanders. He may eventually find some work in this room, though it probably won’t happen right away.

Alt suffered the injury in Week 4 when Nick Emmanwori slammed into him from behind while trying to down Justin Herbert. It sounds like there’s a real chance that he misses Week 5. Somehow, the 2025 Chargers offensive line has returned.

Sounds like we should be counting James out for Week 5’s game against the Broncos, and perhaps Week 6 as well. The safety did not play in Week 4’s loss to the Seahawks, leaving Tarheeb Still as the main slot cornerback with 2026 fourth-rounder Genesis Smith seeing an elevated role.

McConkey has spent this season as more minute to minute than day to day. He left Week 3’s game with a re-aggravation of his foot injury that was managed all week leading up to the game. It would be unsurprising to see him managed again this week, and he is no sure thing to suit up against the Broncos on Sunday.

The Ravens have a pair of rookie tight ends behind Smythe on the roster in fourth-rounder Matt Hibner and fifth-rounder Josh Cuevas. This ultimately may hurt Derrick Henry more than anyone as Smythe, a non-receiving threat, was a good blocker.
