Trent Sherfield WR | NE
Cardinals' Trent Sherfield: Elevated for Week 14
The Cardinals elevated Sherfield from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
With Marvin Harrison (heel) ruled out, Greg Dortch (chest) placed on IR, and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) listed as questionable, Sherfield is in line to be the second wide receiver behind Michael Wilson for Sunday's contest. This marks the 29-year-old's first practice squad elevation of the season, so the Cardinals would be able to elevate him twice more before needing to sign him to the active roster.

Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Has Week 14 designation removed
After the Commanders activated Brown (groin/knee) from injured reserve Saturday, they removed his designation for Sunday's game in Minnesota.
Brown now is available for his first game action since Week 2 after recovering from dueling groin and knee injuries. He'll be working with QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow), who will be back for the first time since Week 9, but the presence of fellow WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will make targets tougher to come by for Brown. In 13 regular-season appearances with Washington over the last two campaigns, Brown gathered in 38 of 63 targets for 489 yards and one touchdown.

Chris Moore WR | WAS
Chris Moore: Cut loose by Commanders
The Commanders waived Moore on Saturday.
Moore was activated off the practice squad early in the season but has had a minimal role for the Commanders' offense, going without a target in four of the last five games. With fellow wide receiver Noah Brown being activated off injured reserve and both Terry McLaurin and Treylon Burks healthy, the 32-year-old Moore had a diminishing role in the offense.

Greg Dortch WR | ARI
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Placed on injured reserve
The Cardinals placed Dortch (chest) on injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Dortch thus will miss at least the next four games due to the chest injury that didn't allow him to practice at all during Week 14 prep, meaning his next possible chance to play this season is Week 18 at the Rams. With Marvin Harrison (heel) out for Sunday's game against the Rams and all of Dortch, Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (wrist) on IR, Arizona's available wide receivers will be Michael Wilson, Andre Baccellia and practice-squad elevations Trent Sherfield and Jalen Brooks, while Xavier Weaver (hamstring) is questionable to suit up.

Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Comes off IR, still questionable
The Commanders activated Brown (groin/knee) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota.
Brown thus is poised for his first action since Week 2, as he seeks to put an end to a 10-game absence due to groin and knee injuries. The Commanders are turning back to second-year QB Jayden Daniels after he completed his recovery from a dislocated left elbow, so the passing game is as close to 100 percent as it has been since the very early stages of the campaign. Brown will be operating behind the top WR duo of Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel on Sunday, assuming he's made active about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Off injured reserve, still questionable
The Packers activated Reed (foot/shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
A shade more than two weeks removed from Green Bay designating Reed for return from injured reserve, he now officially has a chance for his first game action since Week 2, after which he underwent procedures to address a broken collarbone and a Jones fracture in his foot. Assuming he's active once the team posts its inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll rejoin a receiving corps that includes Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton, while Matthew Golden (wrist) also is listed as questionable like Reed.

Kevin Austin Jr. WR | NO
Saints' Kevin Austin: Elevated to active roster
The Saints elevated Austin from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.
Austin will be elevated for the third straight week and should continue to serve as a depth receiver and special teamer. This is the final time this season that New Orleans can elevate the 25-year-old, and the team will need to sign him to the active roster in order for Austin to appear in another game.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | PIT
Steelers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Elevated from practice squad
The Steelers elevated Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Valdes-Scantling could make his debut with Pittsburgh during Sunday's matchup after joining the practice squad early last month. The 31-year-old caught four passes for 40 yards across five appearances with the 49ers earlier in the season and will likely serve as a depth receiver versus Baltimore.
-
Jahan Dotson WR | PHI
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Ready for Monday
Dotson (toe) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game at the Chargers.
Dotson was limited in the first two practices of Week 14 prep due to a toe injury, but his return to all activity Saturday has him in the clear for Monday. In 12 games this season, he's had a few splash plays but mustered just a cumulative 11-206-1 line on 21 targets while working behind the top WR duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Busy as returner in Week 14
Turpin gained four rushing yards on his lone carry, caught both his targets for 26 yards and accumulated 176 yards on seven kickoff returns in Thursday's loss to the Lions.
The 176 return yards were a season high for Turpin, who got plenty of opportunities as the Dallas defense gave up five touchdowns and 44 points to Detroit. Turpin's 1,212 kickoff return yards in 2025 are a career high, putting him third in the NFL behind the Titans' Chimere Dike (1,282) and the Vikings' Myles Price (1,227), but his role on offense remains limited -- through 11 games, he's turned 34 total touches into 353 scrimmage yards and a receiving TD.
