Fantasy Impact: A sixth-round pick for the Texans in this year's draft, Bond is set to make his NFL debut when he steps on the field Sunday. The Texans are lacking some depth at wide receiver right now, with go-to guy Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out.
Paulson Adebo (knee) has been placed on injured reserve and will be out for at least four weeks. (Source: Dan Duggan on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The veteran cornerback lands on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury, which means that he will be sidelined for at least four weeks while he recovers. New York is dealing with multiple injuries to key players in their secondary right now, so their defense could take a big hit if those continue to stack up over the next couple of weeks.

Fantasy Impact: Ingle will add depth in the secondary for the Rams with Kam Kinchens battling a hamstring injury.
Jimmy Horn Jr. officially signed with the Browns' practice squad on Friday. (Source: Mary Kay Cabot on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Horn opened the season with the Panthers, returning punts and kicks while also getting one target in the passing game during Week 1. The second-year pro out of Colorado fumbled a punt in the season-opening loss, which led to a Bears' field-goal. Horn was let go by the Panthers earlier this week and has joined his former college teammate Shedeur Sanders in Cleveland.

Fantasy Impact: The Panthers are signing Williams to their practice squad after opening up a spot with the promotion of linebacker Tyrel Dodson to their active roster. The rookie is not expected to play a prominent role for Carolina anytime soon, but he may compete and earn a roster spot if he performs well as a member of their practice squad.
Israel Abanikanda is signing a deal to join the Cowboys as a member of their practice squad. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Cowboys recently released Abanikanda, but they are bringing him back and giving him a spot on their practice squad. He isn't expected to be a consistent contributor for them moving forward, however, especially now that Tyler Goodson is a part of their active roster.
Bryce Oliver is signing a deal to join the Texans' practice squad. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Oliver was recently released by the Browns, but he will find a new opportunity in Houston with the Texans' practice squad. He is unlikely to make an impact at any point this season, however, so he remains irrelevant for fantasy purposes.
Mark Gronowski has been released from Houston's practice squad. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Texans signed Gronowski to their practice squad just over a week ago, but they are now releasing him and he will once again be on the open market. Houston currently has only two healthy QB's on their roster, with Graham Mertz set to miss the entire season with a torn ACL.
Jordan Mason (thumb) has been placed on injured reserve, knocking him out for at least the next four weeks. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Surprisingly, Mason is being placed on injured reserve due to a thumb injury that he is dealing with. It's not expected to be a long-term issue for him, but he is going to be sidelined for at least the next four weeks while he recovers. Aaron Jones Sr. will serve as the team's clear RB1 in his absence, with Minnesota also signing DeeJay Dallas to their active roster to help with depth.
The Cardinals released WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette from their practice squad. (Source: Josh Weinfuss on Twitter)

KhaDarel Hodge has been promoted to San Francisco's 53-man active roster. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hodge is being promoted to San Francisco's active roster after an impressive performance on special teams in the 49ers' season opener last week. This also helps shore up the team's depth at wide receiver after placing rookie De’Zhaun Stribling (ankle) on injured reserve. The veteran is unlikely to be relevant for fantasy purposes at any point, however.

De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) has officially been placed on injured reserve and will be sidelined for the next four weeks at least. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The 49ers' promising rookie wideout suffered an ankle injury during the team's season opener and is now landing on injured reserve as a result. He is going to be sidelined for at least four weeks while on IR, and his absence could extend beyond that depending on how his recovery goes. In the meantime, fantasy managers should expect Deebo Samuel Sr. and Demarcus Robinson to see an increase in work in the absence of Stribling.
Da'Shawn Hand (quad) has been placed on injured reserve. (Source: Marc Raimondi on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: As expected, Hand will officially land on injured reserve. He is officially sidelined for at least the next four weeks, but it has been reported that he is actually likely to miss the rest of the season due to this injury, although that has yet to be officially confirmed. His absence will further weaken an already underwhelming Falcons' defensive front.
