  • Dalen Cambre WR | NYG

    Dalen Cambre: Back with practice squad

    Cambre reverted to the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Cambre was elevated for the third game in a row before Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots, but failed to record any stats while playing two snaps on offense and 12 more on special teams. The wide receiver was once again active while Jalin Hyatt was a healthy scratch. Cambre will now have to be officially signed to the active roster in order to appear in another contest with New York this season.

  • Kaden Prather WR | BUF

    Kaden Prather: Works out for Atlanta

    The Falcons worked out Prather (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Prather was selected in the seventh round of this year's NFL Draft by the Bills but battled a hamstring injury for most of training camp and the preseason, and was eventually cut ahead of Week 1. Now healthy, Prather will try to find work elsewhere.

  • Kevin Austin: Cut by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Austin on Tuesday.

    Austin has appeared in three games for New Orleans this season but failed to catch his lone target across 37 offensive snaps. He could be a candidate to return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

  • Brandon Smith WR | NYJ

    Brandon Smith: Gets cut from practice squad

    The Jets cut Smith from their practice squad Tuesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

    In a corresponding transaction, the Jets signed cornerback Samuel Womack to their practice squad. Smith was waived from the Jets' active roster back in October before re-signing with the practice squad mere days later, so he could be a candidate to be brought back into the organization at some point down the line.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Puts in full practice

    Pickens (calf/knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Dallas listed Pickens as a non-participant and a limited participant on two of their practice reports last week while he dealt with the same two injuries, but he proceeded to play 53 snaps in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day win over Kansas City and finished with six catches for 88 yards on a season-high 13 targets. Now that he's already achieved a full listing on Dallas' second practice report of Week 14, Pickens is seemingly locked in for Thursday's game against the Lions. On the heels of another big game, the former Steeler looks like a must-start option versus a leaky Detroit defense that lost one of its starting cornerbacks in Terrion Arnold (shoulder) to a season-ending injury in Week 13.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Steelers' Adam Thielen: Scooped up by Pittsburgh

    The Steelers claimed Thielen off waivers from the Vikings on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of Pittsburgh's official site reports.

    The oldest active receiver in the NFL, the 35-year-old Thielen didn't appear to have much juice left during his second stint in Minnesota earlier this season. He managed just eight receptions for 69 yards on 18 targets in 11 appearances before the Vikings made him a healthy inactive for this past Sunday's loss to Seattle. After requesting and being granted his release, Thielen has caught on with a Steelers team lacking in quality receiver depth beyond No. 1 option DK Metcalf, so he could have an immediate opportunity to push the likes of Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek for reps. Though he'll benefit from an upgrade in quarterback play in Pittsburgh with Aaron Rodgers under center, Thielen is still unlikely to see enough of a jump in his production in his new locale to warrant much fantasy interest.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Misses practice, iffy for Thursday

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that St. Brown (ankle) won't practice Tuesday, but the wideout could still be available for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    St. Brown has yet to practice in any fashion since exiting early in the Lions' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers due to a left low-ankle sprain. Campbell acknowledged that the receiver's condition has improved since then and the Lions are leaving the door open for St. Brown to play Thursday, even though he would likely be operating at less than 100 percent. For his part, St. Brown told Birkett that he wants to go through a pregame workout to see how the injury affects his ability to cut and change directions before making a decision on whether he can play. If St. Brown is forced to miss his first game of the season, Tom Kennedy would likely step in as the primary replacement at slot receiver after he recorded four catches for 36 yards on four targets following St. Brown's departure in the loss to Green Bay.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | DET

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Likely to miss Week 14

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Raymond (ankle) is unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    Raymond is typically a tertiary target in the Detroit passing attack, but if he hadn't been nursing an ankle injury of his own, he might have been a candidate to see an expanded role Thursday with the status of top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) uncertain. The Lions will list Raymond as a non-participant Tuesday for the second straight practice, and he's expected to be formally ruled out for the Week 14 game following the release of Wednesday's injury report.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Not ruled out from playing in 2025

    San Francisco general manager John Lynch reiterated Tuesday that he's still "hopeful" Aiyuk (knee) will play at some point this season, though he acknowledged that he wasn't sure how realistic the wideout's return might be, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Lynch noted that Aiyuk is continuing to take part in rehab work for the surgery he underwent last October to address ACL and MCL tears in his right knee, but the 49ers have thus far declined to put out a target date for when the 27-year-old might be ready to practice. As David Lombardi of SFStandard.com suggests, the decision as to whether Aiyuk suits up in 2025 likely falls on the wideout's shoulders. While the 49ers would seemingly welcome him back if he's healthy enough to play, Aiyuk may not be as motivated to suit up after San Francisco voided approximately $26 million on his contract back in late July. Aiyuk is still on San Francisco's books through 2028, though the team will likely look to trade him this offseason if a suitor is willing to pick up most of his remaining salary. Releasing Aiyuk is another possibility, but the 49ers would incur a dead-cap charge of $29.585 million if he's cut outright without a post-June 1 designation.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Targeted three times in loss

    Bech caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.

    Despite exiting the contest momentarily with a chest injury before returning in the third quarter, Bech still managed to log more offensive snaps (27) than both Tyler Lockett (25) and Dont'e Thornton (14) in the Raiders' first game since former offensive coordinator Chip Kelly's firing. Although he's in a tough matchup against the Broncos in Week 14, Bech will continue to battle for the WR2 role behind Tre Tucker.
