Sunday’s NFL roster update includes a new questionable designation ahead of the Buccaneers game, two practice-squad elevations, a significant injured reserve move involving a first-round rookie, and encouraging recovery news for a veteran tight end.
Injury report and game-day roster moves
- Cornerback Noah Igbinoghene was added to the injury report with a hand injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- Linebacker Nathaniel Watson has been elevated for game day.
- Wide receiver Anthony Gould has also received a game-day elevation.
Cooper headed to injured reserve
Wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is set to go on injured reserve because of an ankle injury. The move will sideline the rookie for a minimum of four games.
Cooper was selected with the 30th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He is expected to be available shortly after he satisfies the league’s four-game injured reserve requirement.
FitzPatrick cleared after Achilles surgery
Tight end John FitzPatrick has been cleared for full football activity after recovering from surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon suffered in December.
FitzPatrick remains a free agent as he completes his return from the major injury.
