  • Cardinals' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated to active roster

    The Cardinals elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Emari Demercado (ankle) will be sidelined for Sunday's game, so the Cardinals are in need of depth at running back. Johnson has a chance to be active for the first time this season for Sunday's game against the Packers, though he'd likely work behind Michael Carter and Bam Knight.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Taken off injured reserve

    The Bears activated Homer (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Homer opened the season on injured reserve due to a calf injury he sustained during the preseason in August. He was a full participant in practice over the past two weeks, and his activation from IR indicates that he's on track for his season debut Sunday. With D'Andre Swift (groin) expected to play Sunday and Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson slated to serve in reserve roles out of the backfield, Homer likely will see most of his playing time on special teams.

  • Chargers' Nyheim Hines: Elevated for Week 7

    The Chargers elevated Hines from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Hines will be elevated to the Chargers' active roster for a second straight week and will be available to play against the Colts, the team that drafted him in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Hines primarily served on special teams during the Chargers' Week 6 win over the Dolphins, when he turned three kickoff returns into 97 yards. However, the veteran running back could be deployed out of the backfield to spell Kimani Vidal if Hassan Haskins (chest) is not cleared to play Sunday.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Elevated for Week 7

    The Patriots elevated Jennings from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Jennings will be elevated for a second straight week and be available to play against the Titans on Sunday. He played seven snaps on special teams against the Saints in Week 6, and the 24-year-old running back will likely be limited to that role while TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson handle the work out of the backfield.

  • Ameer Abdullah RB | IND

    Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Joins active roster

    The Colts signed Adbullah from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out, leaving the Colts in need of running back depth behind Jonathan Taylor and DJ Giddens. Abdullah was active in Weeks 5 and 6, logging a total of three carries for 13 yards and a touchdown, and he'll now have a permanent spot on the roster.

  • Sione Vaki RB | DET

    Lions' Sione Vaki: Ruled out for Week 7

    Vaki (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Vaki is set to miss his third straight game with the groin injury. He has been active only once this season, as he was sidelined by a hamstring injury earlier in the campaign.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | IND

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Won't face Chargers

    Goodson (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Goodson practiced in limited fashion Friday, but that won't be enough for him to take the field in Week 7. This will mark his third consecutive absence and leave DJ Giddens as the backup to Jonathan Taylor.

  • Packers' Pierre Strong: Elevated from practice squad

    The Packers elevated Strong from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Strong caught on with the Packers' practice squad in early September after being let go by the Browns with an injury settlement. The 2022 fourth-rounder will be available to play against the Cardinals on Sunday and will provide the Packers backfield depth, as Josh Jacobs' status is up in the air due to a calf injury and illness.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Elevated for Week 7

    The Cowboys elevated Davis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Davis opted to stay in Dallas as a member of the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. He'll be elevated to the active roster for the first time this season, and he will provide help on special teams and backfield depth behind Javonte Williams and Jaydon Blue for Sunday's NFC East tilt against the Commanders.

  • Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR

    Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Elevated for Week 7

    The Rams elevated Rivers from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Rivers was signed to the Rams' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Week 7 against the Jaguars marks Rivers' first elevation of the season, and he'll most likely see the field on special teams while serving as a backfield depth option behind Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter.
