What happened: The cornerback's practice-squad call-up makes him eligible for Sunday's game-day group. Waxter returned to the roster on Sept. 7, five days after his Sept. 2 release.

Why it matters: The move adds another secondary option for this week's matchup with the Raiders. It also shows the staff wanted Waxter available quickly after bringing him back earlier this month.

What to watch: Sunday's inactive list will show whether Waxter dresses for the game. His status after this week will indicate whether the elevation was a one-game depth move or part of a longer look.
