  • Tutu Atwell WR | MIA

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Remaining on IR for Week 14

    The Rams did not activate Atwell (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Atwell logged a trio of full practices this week, as he did last week after his practice window was opened Nov. 26. However, Los Angeles has decided to keep the wideout stashed on IR, possibly because the team isn't prepared to clear an active roster spot for him. The Rams have until Dec. 17 to activate Atwell if they want him to be eligible to play again this season. For the time being at least, Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield will work as the club's depth wide receivers behind the heavily targeted Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

  • Falcons' Deven Thompkins: Signs with active roster

    The Falcons signed Thompkins to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    To make room for the signing, safety DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Thompkins was elevated twice this season, once for Week 6 against the Bills and last Sunday against the Jets. The wide receiver played just nine offensive snaps between the two outings, catching both of his targets for 23 total yards. Like Hellams, the 25-year-old Thompkins is primarily a special teams player and will likely fill that role for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

  • Malik Heath WR | ATL

    Malik Heath: Waived by Green Bay

    The Packers waived Heath on Saturday.

    Heath played in 11 games for the Packers this season, totaling six receptions for 86 yards on seven targets. The waiving of the wide receiver likely has to do with the potential return of both Jayden Reed (foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist). Heath will now revert to the waiver wire, and if he clears, he will become a free agent or moved to the Packers' practice squad.

  • Jaguars' Austin Trammell: Elevated for Week 14

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

    With Travis Hunter (knee) on injured reserve and Parker Washington (hip) questionable for Sunday's game, Trammell will provide depth to a wide receiver room led by Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers. A recent addition to the practice squad after being waived from the active roster, the 27-year-old Trammell has played in five games this season, accumulating three receptions for 46 yards on 10 targets.

  • Jalen Brooks WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Jalen Brooks: Elevated for Sunday

    The Cardinals elevated Brooks 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.

    The absence of wide receivers Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (chest) and potentially Xavier Weaver (hamstring) give Brooks a huge opportunity in Sunday's contest. The 2023 seventh-rounder was elevated alongside Trent Sherfield to be a starting wide receiver for quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Brooks has received zero targets with only four offensive snaps played this year, but he ended the 2024 season with 12 receptions for 177 yards and a touchdown on 30 targets.

  • 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 | DET

    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.
