- Chargers made the move to reinforce their edge rush with Khalil Mack sidelined by an elbow injury, and Jim Harbaugh said he expects Oweh to be available for Week 6 at Miami.
- Ravens sought a dependable deep safety after a 1-4 start and significant back‑end injuries, with Gilman expected to complement Kyle Hamilton, his former Notre Dame teammate.
