Samuel (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 12 clash against the Saints, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports.

News had been trending upward on Samuel entering the weekend, with one report indicating he'd looked back to normal Friday after dealing with a hamstring issue Wednesday and Thursday. With his active status now confirmed, he'll assume his usual diverse role in a talent-rich 49ers offense against New Orleans.

Mooney left Sunday's game at the Jets with an apparent leg injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

On the first play of the Bears' second drive of the third quarter, Mooney stayed on the turf for a spell as he was tended to by team trainers. He then wasn't able to put any weight on his left leg as he was assisted to the locker room. The nature of the issue is unknown, but Chicago may have to go with Equanimeous St. Brown, Chase Claypool, Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle and Velus Jones at wide receiver for the rest of Week 12.

Hart (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Raiders.

Hart has played a limited role this season and will now find himself sidelined Week 12. Instead, Laquon Treadwell will find himself active against Las Vegas after being elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

Dortch (thumb) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

In the wake of his 103-yard performance last Monday against the 49ers, Dortch was revealed to be dealing with a thumb injury, but surgery was ruled out, and he was considered day-to-day by coach Kliff Kingsbury. Dortch proceeded to miss every Week 12 practice and entered the weekend as a game-time call, but a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN late Saturday noted he was unlikely to play. Indeed, that has come to pass, meaning the Cardinals will go with DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson, Andre Baccellia and Pharoh Cooper at wide receiver Sunday with Rondale Moore (groin) also unavailable.

Shakir (illness) won't practice Sunday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Shakir will be absent for the start of the Bills' work week as they prepare to play the Patriots on Thursday. The rookie receiver has seen his role increase as Jamison Crowder and Jake Kumerow continue to miss time due to ankle injuries. Shakir most recently played 45 percent of the team's offensive snaps Thanksgiving, but he failed to see any targets, and he hasn't recorded a catch since Week 10 against the Vikings, then Week 6 against the Chiefs before that. He'll continue working to grab a larger target share Thursday against the New England, if he can recover in time to play.

Woods (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Woods was active each of the team's last five games, but the rookie failed to carve out a significant role in the team's offense. He'll now work to earn a chance to play Week 13 against the Texans.

Rodgers (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Dolphins.

Rodgers was also a healthy scratch Week 11 after being claimed off waivers by the Texans on Nov. 16. He'll work to earn the opportunity to make his his team debut Week 13 against the Browns.

Marshall (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

The 22-year-old was considered questionable for Sunday's contest, but it's no surprise he'll be suiting up after he practiced Friday with no limitations. Marshall has 13 receptions for 290 yards and one touchdown in five games since Robbie Anderson was traded to the Cardinals, though he'll have to contend with another quarterback change with Sam Darnold taking over under center versus Denver.

Harry (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.

Harry was also a healthy scratch Week 10, before missing Week 11 due to an illness. The third-year wideout started the season on IR with a knee injury and has yet to carve out a consistent role with the Bears since getting healthy. He'll work to earn an active roster spot Week 13 against the Packers.

Duvernay (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

A late addition to the Ravens' Week 12 injury report, Duvernay had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday after the hamstring issue rendered him a limited participant at Friday's practice session. Ultimately, the injury wasn't enough of a concern to prevent Duvernay from suiting up Sunday, and the 25-year-old wideout isn't expected to face any limitations while serving in his usual starting role. Even with the Ravens having been without No. 1 wideout Rashod Bateman (foot) for their last two games and top tight end Mark Andrews for one of them, Duvernay has drawn just two targets between those contests.
