With Greenard injured, Texans activate Harris

Texans defensive end Jonathan Greenard will be placed on the injured reserve after suffering a calf injury in practice this week, according to ESPN. Greenard must miss at least four weeks while on the injured reserve.

To replace Greenard the Texans are activating rookie linebacker Christian Harris from the injured reserve.

Harris, who was drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft out of Alabama, suffered a hamstring injury in training camp and missed the entire preseason. He was placed on the injured reserve and was designated to return earlier this month prior to the Texans' game against the Jaguars on Oct. 9.

Alexander Wilson won’t play against Jets: Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson will miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets because of a pulled hamstring, and backup Brett Rypien will get the start.

Wilson was ruled out Saturday, less than 24 hours after coach Nathaniel Hackett said he figured Wilson's playing status would be a gameday decision.

Veteran Josh Johnson will be elevated from the practice squad to serve as Rypien's backup.

Wentz placed on injured reserve: Carson Wentz went on injured reserve Saturday, meaning the Washington Commanders will be without their starting quarterback for at least the next four games.

Wentz had surgery to repair a broken finger. Taylor Heinicke is set to start for Washington against Green Bay on Sunday with rookie Sam Howell backing up.

Packers activate Watkins: The Green Bay Packers have placed wide receiver Randall Cobb and offensive lineman Jake Hanson on injured reserve while activating Sammy Watkins.

Watkins has missed four games with a hamstring issue. The designation means Cobb (ankle) and Hanson (bicep) must miss at least four games.
