Washington, which lacks receiver depth, signed Robert Foster off Green Bay's practice squad, a source confirmed. Foster, an undrafted free agent out of Alabama in 2018, caught 27 passes for 541 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games with Buffalo two years ago. He caught three passes last season. Alabama.com first reported the news. Washington slot receiver Steven Sims is I'm injured reserve while rookie Antonio Gandy-Golden is dealing with a hamstring injury.
Randy Gregory has been removed from the Commissioner's Exempt list and is eligible to play Sunday at Washington now that he is on the 53-man roster. The Cowboys waived defensive back Saivion Smith and wide receiver Ventell Bryant, who had been on injured reserve. Gregory last played in a game in the 2018 playoffs against the Los Angeles Rams because of a suspension.
Rookie LB Tae Crowder, who scored the game-winning TD late Sunday vs. Washington, was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. He will miss at least three games. The Giants signed DE Jabaal Sheard off the Jaguars practice squad to take his roster spot.
The Packers placed CB Parry Nickerson on injured reserve. Sunday at Tampa was his first action of the season but he left with a hamstring injury. Technically they're down to 50 on the roster but will be at 51 once the James Burgess signing becomes official after COVID protocols. They also released WR Kalija Lipscomb from practice squad.
Timmy Jernigan, who the Broncos released Tuesday, played 10 snaps in Sunday's win over the New England Patriots.But Monday Broncos coach Vic Fangio had said both DE DeMarcus Walker and DE Dre'Mont Jones, who are on injured reserve at the moment, have a chance to play Sunday against the Chargers. So the Broncos will need roster spots for one, or both, of them if they are indeed ready to play. Cornerback A.J. Bouye, also on injured reserve right now, is close to returning as well.
The Packers are signing LB James Burgess Jr. to their roster, according to ESPN's Field Yates. He had been on the Falcons' practice squad but previously played in 27 career games (including 21 starts) with the Browns and the Jets. The Packers were at 51 on their active roster so they did not have to make a corresponding move.
With three roster spots open the Panthers filled two of them by signing S Kenny Robinson and OL Sam Tecklenburg off their practice squad. They signed S Sean Chandler off the Giants practice squad to fill the other spot. Carolina added four players to its practice squad in CB Josh Hawkins, DT Mike Panasiuk, DE Greg Roberts and RB Michael Warren. WR Keith Kirkwood (clavicle) and S Juston Burris (ribs) were placed on IR so they will miss at least three weeks.
To make room for Kobe Smith on their practice squad, the Bucs waived safety D'Cota Dixon. The Bucs also waived wide receiver John Hurst from the active roster.

Titans also added TE Parker Hesse and removed DB Greg Mabin and DB Maurice Smith.
Titans activated TE MyCole Pruitt to the active roster and DB Breon Borders to the practice squad from the Covid – Reserve list.

The Rams have signed kicker Kai Forbath off the Bears' practice squad and in a corresponding move placed OLB Ogbo Okoronkwo (Elbow) on injured reserve, the team announced. The move comes after rookie kicker Samuel Sloman continued to struggle in a 24-16 loss to the 49ers, as he missed an extra point attempt and struggled to place a kickoff where needed. "He's got to improve," Sean McVay said about Sloman on Monday. Sloman is 7-9 on field goal attempts and 15-18 on extra points.
More from Broncos' win in New England: --Phillip Lindsay had five carries for 9 yards or more in the game by himself and that was the most the Broncos have had of 9 yards or more, overall, in any game this season. --Also in the run game, however, the Broncos three running backs (Lindsay, Melvin Gordon and Royce Freeman) have now had 23 percent of their carries go for no gain or negative yardage. Broncos have faced some difficult defensive fronts, but they've been spotty at point of attack.
After going through the game a couple more times, some items from Broncos' win in N.E.: --Trouble still found in 3 WR with two interceptions and sack allowed Sunday. Season totals for all QBs in three-wide is 11 sacks allowed, 8 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles. Broncos have scored three TDs from three-wide sets this season. --Fangio's pressure packages worked with three sacks and an interception in 16 snaps against the Patriots w/ five or more rushers, including scrambles and penalty snaps.
Mike Tomlin confirmed that second-year ILB Devin Bush will undergo surgery to repair his ACL on Wednesday.

Tomlin said he expected Robert Spillane to be the "primary" guy to pick up Bush's duties. FB Derek Watt (hamstring) and DB Mike Hilton (shoulder) will be limited in practice this week, while RG David DeCastro (abs) and WR Diontae Johnson (back) will practice Wednesday.
