Rams head coach Sean McVay is making a pair of changes to the team's kicking unit.

McVay said on Friday that Harrison Mevis will handle the kicking duties against the 49ers. Mevis signed to the practice squad this week.

Joshua Karty has been the kicker for the Rams, but he has struggled all season and missed a pair of kicks in last Sunday's win over the Saints.

McVay said this week that the special teams have to improve beyond Karty and he also announced that Jake McQuaide will be the long snapper this weekend. Alex Ward has been handling those duties for the Rams so far this season.

Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards has been out of practice this week and head coach Ben Johnson gave an update on his condition at a Friday press conference.

Johnson said that Edwards had surgery to repair a broken hand this week. Edwards will not go on injured reserve and there's hope that he can play with a club on his hand at some point, but he's also dealing with a hamstring injury and there's a good chance he'll miss this Sunday's game against the Giants.

Edwards has 31 tackles in five games for the Bears this season. Noah Sewell has seen the bulk of the work at Edwards' spot during Edwards' previous absences from the lineup.

The Bears' full injury report for the Giants game will be released later on Friday.

Shedeur Sanders will be back as the No. 2 quarterback for the Browns this week.

Sanders was inactive for the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots due to a back injury, but he returned to practice this week and head coach Kevin Stefanski said he will be active against the Jets. Dillon Gabriel remains the starting quarterback for Cleveland.

Linebacker Carson Schwesinger played against New England, but suffered an ankle injury in the game. Schwesinger will be listed as questionable to play on Sunday.

Wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) is expected to be activated from injured reserve, but is officially listed as questionable. Tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring) and tackle Cornelius Lucas are also going to be in the questionable group. Lucas' injury is a new one and has not been disclosed yet.

Wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) is the only player who has been ruled out at this point.
