Le’Veon Bell has been promoted to the active roster.

It sounds like Bell will now be a permanent fixture in Baltimore’s backfield after a strong game in Week 6, and he should be rostered in all leagues with Latavius Murray (ankle) banged up. The former All-Pro could be a solid FLEX against the Bengals this weekend.

The Colts have activated Sam Ehlinger from injured reserve.

Ehlinger could immediately be the No. 2 quarterback behind Carson Wentz, and his mobility makes him an ideal backup that can create if forced into action. Indy notably released 2020 fourth-round pick Jacob Eason in a corresponding move.

The Colts have waived Jacob Eason.

A fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Eason being released already is a surprise, but Indianapolis feels better about Sam Ehlinger as a developmental prospect, and Brett Hundley also remains on the roster behind Carson Wentz. Eason will undoubtedly get another shot elsewhere, but it’s not a great sign that he couldn’t stick around for what was thought to be a perfect landing spot.

The Vikings released Ameer Abdullah.

Minnesota activated Kene Nwangwu from injured reserve, and Abdullah is being waived to make room. The veteran running back might land back with the Vikings practice squad, but we’ll see.

The Vikings activated Knee Nwangwu (knee) from injured reserve.

Nwangwu is set to make his NFL debut after missing the first six weeks with a knee injury suffered in the preseason. Minnesota was excited about Nwangwu during the summer, and he might make an impact as a receiver in particular as a rookie this season.

Nick Chubb (calf) has been ruled out for Week 7.

This isn’t a surprise with the Browns playing on a short week this Thursday night against the Broncos. Cleveland will be relying on a combination for D’Ernest Johnson, Demetric Felton, and John Kelly this week. This will be Chubb’s second consecutive missed game, but hopefully he can return after the long layoff following the Thursday nighter.

The Browns elevated John Kelly from the practice squad.

Kareem Hunt (calf) is officially headed to injured reserve, and Kelly will take his roster spot. With Nick Chubb (calf) uncertain for Thursday night, there’s a chance Kelly gets some work against the Broncos in Week 7.
