What happened: McLeod comes up at linebacker and Muhammad at cornerback for tomorrow's game. It is another promotion for Jabbar Muhammad, who is in his first NFL season out of Oregon.

Why it matters: The move gives the game-day roster extra depth at two defensive spots without forcing a longer-term roster decision. Standard elevation also keeps both players available for special teams and rotational defensive snaps if needed.

By the numbers: Muhammad was listed as a first-year player out of Oregon on Sept. 29. McLeod was elevated Sept. 27, and both McLeod and Muhammad were elevated together on Sept. 20, making this at least their second shared game-week call-up of the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: Sunday's inactive list will show whether both elevations turn into uniforms. Snap counts would be the clearest sign of whether this was emergency depth or a larger role.
