- Charvarius Ward Jr. is on injured reserve with a concussion and will miss at least three more games, with Week 12 the earliest potential return after the Week 11 bye.
- Kenny Moore II returned from an Achilles absence, while Justin Walley and Jaylon Jones remain on IR and Xavien Howard retired earlier this month.
- Long spent most of 2024 with Indianapolis after joining the practice squad, re-signed in March, suffered a training-camp groin injury, and was released with an injury settlement.
- The 2019 third-round pick has 79 career games and 12 starts, won Super Bowl LVI with the Rams, and offers special-teams value if elevated.
