  • Saints' Kevin Austin: Joins active roster Week 15

    The Saints elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Austin has bounced back and forth between the Saints' practice squad and active roster this season, and this will be his second straight practice-squad elevation. The 25-year-old tallied two offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps during last week's win over Tampa Bay, and it's unlikely he'll see much action while once again operating as the fifth wideout behind Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, Mason Tipton and Dante Pettis. Austin has logged just one target across four appearances this season. He is eligible to be elevated from New Orleans' practice squad to the active roster one more time for the remainder of this season.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Done for 2025

    The 49ers placed Aiyuk (knee) on the reserve/left squad list Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    The move means Aiyuk will not return for the rest of the season and will likely not be a part of the 49ers' plans from 2026 and beyond. Aiyuk has been recovering from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee that he sustained during the 2024 campaign, and it's unclear whether the 49ers will look to trade the 2020 first-rounder during the offseason or cut him from the roster outright.

  • Cardinals' Trent Sherfield: Elevated for Week 15

    Sherfield was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Sherfield will be on the active roster for the second game in a row after he was called up for last week's loss to the Rams, when he tallied one target across nine offensive snaps. The 29-year-old should once again serve as Arizona's fourth wideout behind Michael Wilson, Andre Baccellia and fellow practice-squad elevation Jalen Brooks. Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) will both remain sidelined. Sherfield will be eligible for one more practice-squad elevation with the Cardinals this season.

  • Jalen Brooks WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Jalen Brooks: Called up for Week 15

    The Cardinals elevated Brooks from the practice squad Saturday.

    This is the second straight practice-squad elevation for Brooks. The 25-year-old logged two catches (on three targets) for 32 yards to go along with three kickoff returns for 66 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Rams. With Greg Dortch (chest) on IR and both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) ruled out again, Brooks will once again serve as the Cardinals' No. 4 wideout versus Houston on Sunday.

  • Raiders' Shedrick Jackson: Elevated for Sunday

    Las Vegas elevated Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

    Jackson was elevated for the second week in a row after playing four snaps during last week's loss to the Broncos. He'll once again serve as the Raiders' fifth wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Tyler Lockett and Dont'e Thornton. This was also the third time that Jackson was called up from the practice squad, marking the final time that he was eligible to he elevated this season. He'll now have to be signed to the active roster to play any further games for the Raiders this year.

  • Chargers' Dalevon Campbell: Elevated for Week 15

    Campbell was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

    Campbell was also elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 14 win versus Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. But, he wound up being ruled a healthy scratch for the contest. Backup wideout Derius Davis (ankle) has already been ruled out, and starter Quentin Johnston (groin) is questionable. It's likely that Campbell will only be active if Johnston ends up being ruled inactive 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 pm ET kickoff.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | LAR

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Activated from IR

    The Rams activated Atwell (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Atwell doesn't have a designation for Sunday's tilt against the Lions, so his activation from injured reserve indicates that he's available to return from a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury. If he's active, Atwell will compete with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington for snaps at the WR3 spot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). Prior to his extended absence, Atwell caught four passes (one nine targets) for 164 yards and one touchdown across six regular-season games.

  • Coleman Owen WR | IND

    Colts' Coleman Owen: Elevated for Week 15

    The Colts elevated Owen from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Anthony Gould (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so Owen will serve as Indy's fifth wide receiver behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and Laquon Treadwell. Gould is also the primary kick returner and punt returner for the Colts, so, in his absence, Owen might see action in those roles. This marks Owen's first practice-squad elevation of the season, leaving two more opportunities for him to be elevated this year.

  • Jamari Thrash WR | CLE

    Jamari Thrash: Dropped by Cleveland

    Thrash was waived by the Browns on Saturday.

    The 24-year-old wideout was a healthy scratch in each of Cleveland's last two contests. Thrash appeared in nine games this season, catching 10 of 15 targets for 107 yards across 216 offensive snaps. In a corresponding move, the Browns added Garrett Dellinger to their active roster Saturday.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Optimism for Week 15

    There is optimism in the Bears organization that Odunze (foot) will be available to play against the Browns on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Odunze did not play against the Packers in Week 14 due to a foot injury. He earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after failing to log a full practice during Week 15 prep, but it appears the second-year wideout is on track to return against Cleveland. Odunze's official status may not be known until the Bears announce their list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which would give fantasy managers time to explore their options in case the 2024 first-rounder is not cleared to suit up. DJ Moore, rookie second-rounder Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus and tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet would all be slated for more targets from quarterback Caleb Williams in the event that Odunze doesn't play.
