  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 | ATL

    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.

  • 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.

  • Tom Kennedy WR | DET

    Lions' Tom Kennedy: Limited offensive workload in win

    Kennedy did not garner a target while recording 120 yards on kickoff returns and 21 yards on punt returns in Thursday's 44-30 win over Dallas.

    Kennedy was set to operate in a more significant role on offense due to Amon-Ra St. Brown trending toward sitting with an ankle injury, but St. Brown was ultimately able to play. As a result, Kennedy's offensive snaps dropped to five total in Week 14, a significantly smaller figure than the 41 snaps on offense he logged Thanksgiving against Green Bay. The wide receiver has filled in admirably for Kalif Raymond (ankle) as a return specialist for Detroit over the last two weeks, compiling 201 kickoff return yards and 42 yards on punt returns. Whenever Raymond is able to return, Kennedy, who was signed to the active roster prior to Week 13 action, may become a healthy scratch on game days.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Clear for Sunday's contest

    Godwin (fibula) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Godwin followed up Wednesday's limited walkthrough with a full session Thursday and another limited practice Friday, but his lingering fibula injury won't impact his availability for Week 14. Meanwhile, fellow WRs Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck), both of whom were designated for return from injured reserve this week, were ruled out, meaning Godwin's competition for targets Sunday will include WRs Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard, TE Cade Otton and RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White.

  • Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Could have bigger role Week 14

    Zaccheaus may be in line for more targets Sunday versus Green Bay with Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Zaccheaus began the season promisingly with four catches for 42 yards against Minnesota in Week 1, but he's surpassed that yardage total just once since. Over his past four games, he's been almost entirely a non-factor with just four total catches (on eight targets) for 30 yards. However, Odunze's absence should open up more opportunities for multiple Bears pass catchers, including wideouts Zaccheaus, Luther Burden and DJ Moore as well as tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. With that being said, the Packers rank in the top half league-wide in most categories versus wide receivers, so Chicago's struggling passing game could be challenged to produce.

  • Malik Cunningham: Goes back to practice squad

    Cunningham reverted to Detroit's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transactions log.

    Cunningham played just one of the Lions' 62 offensive snaps during Thursday's 44-30 win versus the Cowboys, taking a direct snap for one yard in the middle of the third quarter. The Lions can still elevate him from the practice squad to the active roster two more times this season.

  • Alex Bachman WR | LV

    Raiders' Alex Bachman: Won't suit up against Denver

    Bachman (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Bachman has contributed primarily on special teams, and he will miss his third game of the campaign. While he's served only as pass-catching depth, the Raiders will be shorthanded at wide receiver with Dont'e Thornton (concussion) also sidelined.
