Former first-round pick Kaiir Elam needs a new place to play.

Elam's stay with the Cowboys came to an end on Saturday when they waived the cornerback to make room on the roster for running back Malik Davis. Elam was acquired in a trade with the Bills this offseason.

Elam appeared in 10 games and made seven starts for the Cowboys. He had 29 tackles and one pass defensed during his time in Dallas.

Davis was signed off of the team's practice squad. He has appeared in four games for the Cowboys, including the last three contests. He has seven carries for 26 yards on the season.

The Steelers made a couple of changes to their injury designations on Saturday.

Defensive end Cam Heyward and cornerback Darius Slay were listed as questionable to play on Friday, but the team announced that they no longer have any kind of designation. That leaves both players on track to play against the Bears.

Heyward missed practiced on Wednesday and Thursday with an ankle injury, but returned to practice Friday. Slay has been making his way back from a concussion.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) remains questionable to play. Edge rusher Alex Highsmith (pectoral) is listed as doubtful and not expected to play against Chicago.

Eagles center Cam Jurgens is good to go for Sunday against the Cowboys.

Jurgens, who had been listed as questionable with a concussion, has now fully cleared the protocol. The Eagles announced today that Jurgens will play and has no injury designation.

The Eagles also announced that DeVonta Smith will play but will fly to Dallas separately from the team, for personal reasons that the team did not disclose.

Philadelphia's offense suffered a blow when right tackle Lane Johnson suffered a foot injury last week, and Johnson will be out for at least a few weeks. But otherwise the Eagles feel good about their offense.

The Eagles are three-point favorites on the road against the Cowboys on Sunday.
