The Philadelphia Eagles have signed veteran cornerback Bradley Roby, according to James Palmer of NFL Network. The 31-year-old corner will help bolster an Eagles' secondary that has been susceptible to the pass over the first four weeks of the season. Palmer noted that Roby has played a significant amount of his career defending the slot, which is a specific area of need for the Eagles. The nine-year veteran has 370 tackles, 85 passes defended, and 11 career interceptions over his stints with the Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, and New Orleans Saints. The Saints waived him back in August during their roster cutdown.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Amari Rodgers has been signed off the practice squad to the team's active roster. The third-year wideout is unlikely to make an impact as a receiver behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and Isaiah McKenzie so this appears to be a special teams/depth move for the Colts. The 24-year-old has just 20 catches for 249 yards and one score over 32 career games between the Packers and the Texans.

Buffalo Bills EDGE Von Miller (knee) wants to play in Week 5 in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Miller was speaking on his podcast, "The Von Cast," and said "Hopefully I look amazing tomorrow and everybody will give me the green light to go play in the game. If I was a betting man I'd say you'll see Von Miller in London." The 34-year-old veteran tore his ACL on Thanksgiving during the 2022 season and has not appeared in a game since. It's encouraging to hear that he will practice this week but he would need to be cleared by the team, regardless of how he feels, before he is able to suit up. The Bills could use another playmaker on the defensive side of the ball after cornerback Tre'Davious White tore his ACL in Week 4. The Bills D/ST already has a nice matchup against the Jaguars in Week 5 but the potential return of Miller would give them even more of a boost.

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson and safety Eddie Jackson didn't practice on Tuesday, which puts their status in doubt for Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders. Both players missed Week 4 against the Denver Broncos and the fact they missed Tuesday's practice is not a great sign for their availability on TNF. The Bears' secondary is already shorthanded with nickelback Kyler Gordon on IR so both Johnson and Jackson would need to log a limited session on Wednesday in order to have a chance to play on Thursday. Either way, the arrow is pointing up for Washington QB Sam Howell and the Commanders' offense.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (other) did not practice on Tuesday, per beat writer Brad Biggs. Claypool was inactive for Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos and was not with the team on Monday either. A DNP on Tuesday most likely means he won't play on Thursday Night Football for the Bears' Week 5 game against the Washington Commanders. This has been an odd situation, to say the least, and at this point, it feels more than likely that Claypool won't take another snap for the Bears this year. Last season, Chicago traded away what became a first-round pick to the Steelers to acquire Claypool. In 10 total games with the Bears, the 25-year-old wideout has caught just 18 balls for 191 yards and one score.

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (groin) to their practice squad on Tuesday and waived cornerback Essang Bassey and released wide receiver Michael Bandy from the practice squad in corresponding moves. Smith began the season on Injured Reserve with the New Orleans Saints due to a groin injury he suffered in training camp, but he's apparently healthy now and will have another opportunity in Denver as he reunites with his former head coach Sean Payton. The 27-year-old remains well off the fantasy radar for now. In his five seasons with the Saints since 2018, Smith has put up 131 receptions (196 targets) for 1,764 yards and 18 touchdowns in 66 games (35 starts). He had just 19 catches for 278 yards and one score in 15 games (six starts) in 2022.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (hamstring) said his hamstring is good after the time off and he feels like he can make his 2023 debut in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. "I'm ready to go," Williams said. The second-year wideout was suspended for gambling for the first four games of the season but is now eligible to return and is expected to be active this Sunday for the first time in 2023. While the former first-rounder has intriguing big-play abilities, he played in just six games in his rookie campaign due to a knee injury and is going to begin in a supporting role in the Lions passing attack until he gets up to speed this year. Williams deserves to be rostered pretty much everywhere, but inserting him into your starting lineups in Week 5 is pretty risky.

Washington Commanders wide receivers Jahan Dotson (ankle) and Curtis Samuel (quadriceps) were both listed as limited practice participants on the team's estimated practice report for Tuesday. The team didn't officially practice. Dotson is listed as limited for the second straight practice, while Samuel was upgraded after being a DNP on Monday. Both wideouts are worth monitoring before Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears, but as long as neither have a setback on Wednesday, they figure to have a good shot at playing. Neither Dotson nor Samuel have done much in the first four games, but they both found the end zone in the Week 4 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and have a great matchup in Week 5 against Chicago. Dotson is the more attractive fantasy play as the No. 2 behind Terry McLaurin.

Free agent wide receiver Denzel Mims is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad on Tuesday. The 25-year-old was traded from the New York Jets to the Detroit Lions on July 20 but was released by Detroit just two months later. Given Mims' track record since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, there's a low probability he'll make a significant impact on the struggling Steelers' offense even if he makes his way onto the active roster. He has just 42 receptions for 676 yards and zero touchdowns after three years in the NFL.

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (concussion) was back on the practice field on Tuesday. It's good news for Musgrave as he and the team prepare for their Monday night contest against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5, but the rookie tight end will still need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol to get the green light to play after suffering a concussion in last Thursday's loss to the Detroit Lions. The Packers won't release their first official injury report of the week until Thursday, so we won't know more on Musgrave until then. The 23-year-old second-rounder has been involved in the offense through his first four games with 12 catches for 125 yards on 16 targets, but he has yet to score his first NFL touchdown.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is "very doubtful" to play in Week 5 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens this Sunday after he hurt his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. We'll have a better idea of whether Freiermuth will be able to play this weekend based on his practice status this week, but fantasy managers that have been starting him through the first four weeks of the season should already be looking for a backup plan if they don't have one already. Rookie Darnell Washington could serve as Pittsburgh's top pass-catching tight end if Freiermuth is inactive, while Connor Heyward could also be in the mix for a larger role in Week 5.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Kenny Pickett (knee) is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee and is scheduled to participate in practice on Wednesday as the team continues to evaluate him. "The more comfortable and functional is, the more work he'll get," Tomlin said. Pickett will most likely be limited, and his status for the Week 5 contest against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens is still up in the air after he was hurt in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. Even if the 25-year-old gets the green light to play this Sunday, he'll be a low-upside QB2 for fantasy managers. Backup Mitch Trubisky would make his first start of the year under center if Pickett is eventually ruled out this weekend.

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and the rest of the offense floundered in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Hodgins had another quiet game to close out Week 4 with three catches on three targets for 24 yards. Quarterback Daniel Jones was sacked a staggering 11 times and didn't have much time to throw at all behind an injured and ineffective offensive line. Hodgins also played a season-low 37 percent of the offensive snaps, although he was at least able to show up in the box score this week after putting up a donut in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It's impossible to trust Hodgins as a starting lineup option in fantasy right now. Through the first four weeks, he's registered eight catches for 88 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt was barely there in the team's 24-3 drubbing at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football to close out Week 4 action. Hyatt caught both of his targets on the night for just 10 receiving yards. The only good news on this night was that Hyatt played a season-high 60 percent of the offensive snaps. He made some noise in New York's comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 with two receptions for 89 yards, but the 22-year-old has been very quiet otherwise in a Giants offense where no pass-catcher has stood out through four games. That probably won't change, either, until the G-Men get their offensive-line woes figured out and allow quarterback Daniel Jones more time in the pocket. Hyatt should only be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues.

New England Patriots defensive end Matthew Judon (biceps) will have surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn right lower bicep and is expected to miss at least two months, according to a source. The team will know more after Judon's surgery about whether he has a chance to return this year. It's a big blow to the Patriots defense, and they also lost rookie first-round cornerback Christian Gonzalez in the Week 4 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys when he dislocated his shoulder. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues that have Judon rostered should move on to other options and leave him to the waiver wire. The 31-year-old four-time Pro Bowler picked up 13 tackles (10 solo), four sacks, five tackles for loss and nine QB hits in the first four games.

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell has had a very disappointing start to his first season with the Giants, and that continued in Monday night's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Campbell finished the embarrassing loss with three catches on five targets for a measly 15 receiving yards. None of New York's pass-catchers really had a chance in this one with quarterback Daniel Jones taking 11 sacks behind an incredibly beat up and suspect offensive line. The only good news for the 26-year-old is that he tied for second on the team with his five targets, trailing only Wan'Dale Robinson's six. Through four games, Campbell has 14 receptions on 21 targets for 62 yards and no TDs. For now, it's hard to recommend any Giants wideout as a starting lineup option in fantasy.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is back from his four-game gambling suspension and will make his season debut in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. Head coach Dan Campbell said Williams will likely be in a supporting role in his first game this Sunday at Ford Field. "If he does play, he can't play 60 plays," Campbell said. "That's not smart. So we can't do that to him." The No. 12 overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft played in just six games in his rookie year in his return from a serious knee injury, and he finished with one catch and one rushing attempt. Williams also missed more than two weeks of training camp with two different hamstring injuries, so fantasy managers that have been stashing him are going to need to be patient. But when the 22-year-old is fully immersed into the offense, he has the potential to be a big-play threat for an already explosive Lions offense.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (wrist) suffered a sprained wrist in the Week 4 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, according to a source. X-rays came back negative. Parham could make it back in Week 6 on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys after the Chargers' Week 5 bye, but it's not a guarantee. If the 26-year-old is unable to make it back coming out of the bye week, Gerald Everett would become an even more enticing tight end streamer for fantasy lineups. Parham has just six receptions on eight targets through four games in 2023, but he's already tied his career-high with three touchdowns. When he returns, he'll once again be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy.

The belief is that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is dealing with a mild hamstring injury that he suffered in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints, according to sources. It bodes well for his return following the team's Week 5 bye, but he'll undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday to confirm it. Evans left the game in the second quarter on Sunday and never returned, finishing with three catches for 40 yards in the win. The 30-year-old was seen riding a stationary bike on the sidelines and was trying to return, but Tampa held him out as a precaution. The bye week comes at a perfect time for Evans and his fantasy managers, as he should be back out there in Week 6 against the visiting Detroit Lions on Sunday, Oct. 15.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert ranks 28th among NFL tight ends in yards (88) through four games of the season and hasn't scored a touchdown yet. Since 2021 Goedert ranks fifth among NFL tight ends in receiving yards with 1,620, which makes his slow start this year more alarming. He leads the league since 2021 in average yards after the catch (6.8) and ranks second in yards per catch (13.1). The 28-year-old is currently averaging a career-low 6.8 yards per touch. The Eagles coaching staff wants to get Goedert more involved and expect him to get going soon. "Trust me I promise you he's still part of the plan of us wanting to get him the football. We need to get him the football," head coach Nick Sirianni said.
