Deven Thompkins: Reverts to practice squad
Thompkins reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The wide receiver was elevated for Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints and played on eight of 53 offensive snaps, recording one carry for -2 yards. David Moore (46 snaps), Xavier Legette (44 snaps), Jalen Coker (24 snaps) and Jonathan Mingo (15 snaps) all played more than Thompkins in the first game since Carolina traded Diontae Johnson and with Adam Thielen (hamstring) still on injured reserve. Thompkins caught 22 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown across 2022 and 2023 with Tampa Bay.

Jalen Virgil WR | BUF
Jalen Virgil: Reverts to practice squad
Virgil reverted to Buffalo's practice squad Monday.
Virgil was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Dolphins as Amari Cooper (wrist) was unable to play. Virgil saw playing time on both offense and special teams but failed to record any stats.

Jahan Dotson WR | PHI
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Catches one long pass
Dotson made a spectacular catch for a 36-yard gain early in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Jaguars but was not targeted any other time.
A.J. Brown left with a knee injury shortly before halftime, and Dotson received his one opportunity of the game shortly after the break, reaching over Tyson Campbell's back on a long pass down the left and tipping the ball up to himself to make the grab. Jalen Hurts didn't look Dotson's way again the rest of the game, however, and his workload may be limited again in Week 10 against the Cowboys if Brown's injury proves minor. Brown's tests came back clean after the game and he appears to have a real chance to return without missing any time, but that's not yet guaranteed.

Byron Murphy CB | MIN
Vikings' Byron Murphy: Intercepts pass in win
Murphy recorded four solo tackles, an interception and a pass breakup in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
The cornerback also played on all 49 defensive snaps. Murphy has 39 tackles (33 solo), seven passes defensed, three interceptions and a forced fumble in 2024.

T.J. Edwards LB | CHI
Bears' T.J. Edwards: Productive in loss
Edwards tallied seven tackles (three solo) Sunday during Chicago's loss to the Cardinals.
Edwards' solid season continues as he's now compiled 60 tackles (35 solo) across eight games played. He will look to continue producing and add to his totals during the Bears' Week 10 matchup versus the Patriots.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | WAS
Chris Rodriguez: Goes back to practice squad
Rodriguez reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Brian Robinson (hamstring) sidelined Sunday at the Giants, Rodriguez came up third in snaps (20 of 62) among Washington running backs behind Austin Ekeler (29) and Jeremy McNichols (24). Having said that, Rodriguez paced the team in rushing yards with 52 on 11 carries, while Ekeler notched 14 touches for 83 yards from scrimmage, and McNichols turned eight rushes into 20 yards and didn't haul in his only target. The Commanders have used their maximum allotment of three elevations on Rodriguez, so he'll need to be signed to the active roster in order to make another appearance with the team.

Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Logs two more sacks in win
Greenard recorded 2.0 sacks and a pass defensed in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
