We’ve elevated K Jason Sanders and LB Troy Reeder for Sunday’s game and placed WR Omar Cooper on injured reserve 📰: ht

What happened: Kicker Jason Sanders and linebacker Troy Reeder were elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game. Wide receiver Omar Cooper was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Why it matters: The elevations provide immediate special teams and defensive depth for the matchup. Cooper's designation removes him from the receiving rotation, clearing a spot on the 53-man roster while he recovers.

What to watch: Permanent roster decisions will be required in the coming weeks if Sanders or Reeder are needed beyond their standard elevation limits.
