Ja’Kobi Lane Nears Practice Return; Braden Smith Activated From IR

Wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane is expected to resume practicing this week as he works back from wrist surgery, while offensive tackle Braden Smith has been activated from injured reserve.

Lane went on injured reserve before Week 2 after having surgery on his wrist. His anticipated return to practice marks the next step in his recovery, though no game-status decision was included.

Roster moves

Smith has been cleared to return to the active roster after spending time on injured reserve with a foot injury.

Two players were also added to practice squads:

  • Quarterback Mark Gronowski
  • Wide receiver Bryce Oliver
