Commanders waive WR Jacoby Jones, sign K Jake Moody
The Commanders officially added kicker Jake Moody to their 53-man roster on Tuesday and they announced another roster move as well.
They have waived wide receiver Jacoby Jones. Jones was signed to the roster last week.
Jones signed with the Commanders after going undrafted earlier this year and spent most of the season on the practice squad. He had one catch for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins in Madrid.
Moody replaces Matt Gay, who was released on Monday after missing a pair of field goals in the Dolphins loss. He was signed off of the Bears' practice squad and appeared in two games for Chicago earlier this season.
Mike Tomlin "optimistic" about Jaylen Warren's availability for Week 12
The Steelers may or may not have their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Bears. But they should have their top running back.
Via Brooke Pryor of ESPN, head coach Mike Tomlin said in his Tuesday press conference that he's "optimistic" about Jaylen Warren's availability for Week 12 after the running back suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Bengals. But, Tomlin noted, Warren's practice availability could be limited early in the week.
Warren leads the Steelers with 536 yards rushing, having also rushed for two touchdowns. Additionally, Warren has caught 25 passes for 219 yards with a TD.
Kenneth Gainwell would see the bulk of the carries if Warren is unavailable.
Tomlin also noted that cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) is likely to return this week while edge rusher Alex Highsmith (pectoral) will be limited in practice on Wednesday.
C.J. Stroud remains in concussion protocol, won't play in Thursday's Texans-Bills game
C.J. Stroud will miss at least one more game.
The Houston Texans quarterback remains in concussion protocol and will not play in Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Backup Davis Mills will continue to start at quarterback. Head coach DeMeco Ryans announced the update to reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Stroud hasn't played since sustaining a concussion in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. He'll miss a third consecutive game Thursday night.

The Texans have won their last two games with Mills at quarterback against the Jaguars and Titans to improve to 5-5 and remain in the AFC playoff hunt. Since taking over for Stroud against the Broncos, Mills has completed 60.3% of his passes for 234.3 yards per game with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. Houston's offense scored 36 points against the Jaguars and 16 points against the Titans in his two starts.
It's not clear at this point when Stroud will be able to return as the Texans find themselves in a fight down the stretch run of the season to make the playoffs. Houston would be the first team out of the seven-team AFC playoff field if the postseason started this week, a game behind the 6-4 Jaguars that they own a tiebreaker against because of their Week 10 win over Jacksonville.
Houston has a difficult schedule remaining with four games out of seven against projected playoff teams and another against the Kansas City Chiefs. After playing the Bills, the Texans face the Colts, Chiefs, Cardinals, Raiders and Chargers before concluding their season with another game against the AFC South-leading Colts.
