  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Giants' Xavier Gipson: Signed to active roster

    The Giants signed Gipson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Gipson signed with the Giants' practice squad after being waived by the Eagles, and the wide receiver will get his first shot with his new NFC East team in Week 18. The 24-year-old is set to be the secondary kick and punt returner behind Gunner Olszewski, and he will likely see most of his reps Sunday with the special-teams unit.

  • Keith Kirkwood WR | BAL

    Ravens' Keith Kirkwood: Elevated for SNF

    The Ravens elevated Kirkwood from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday night's game against the Steelers.

    Kirkwood will draw his first elevation of the 2025 season in Week 18. With Rashod Bateman (illness) ruled out for Sunday's divisional clash, Kirkwood will likely sit on the active roster as a depth wide receiver. The majority of the snaps at receiver will likely go to Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, Devontez Walker, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester, with Kirkwood unlikely to see much action unless one of the aforementioned players succumbs to injury.

  • Jeshaun Jones WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jeshaun Jones: Elevated for Week 18

    The Vikings elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Jones will draw his first elevation of the season in Week 18. With Myles Price (ankle) ruled out ahead of the divisional contest, Jones will slot in as the No. 5 wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jalen Nailor and Tai Felton. Price is also the only listed punt returner on the Vikings' depth chart, so Jones could potentially see snaps at the position if it is not dominated by Ty Chandler or Felton.

  • Tejhaun Palmer WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Tejhaun Palmer: Signs with active roster

    The Cardinals signed Palmer from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Palmer has resided on the Cardinals' practice squad for the entirety of the 2025 season, but he will join the active roster for the Week 18 divisional contest. The wide receiver will likely function as a special-teams reserve player, as he is listed as the No. 5 option at receiver behind Michael Wilson, Xavier Weaver, Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Steven Sims: Elevated for Week 18

    The Cardinals elevated Sims from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Sims is set to play his third consecutive game for the Cardinals. The 28-year-old is likely to serve as the Cardinals' kick and punt returner for Sunday's game, as he has logged 187 kick return yards and five punt return yards over the last two contests. The wide receiver also has upside as the fifth receiving option behind Michael Wilson, Xavier Weaver, Jalen Brooks and tight end Trey McBride.

  • River Cracraft WR | WAS

    Commanders' River Cracraft: Elevated for Sunday

    The Commanders elevated Cracraft from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Cracraft has been elevated for consecutive weeks, finishing Christmas Day's loss against the Cowboys with just one snap on the special-teams unit. With Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore all healthy and active, Cracraft is likely in line to see the same minimal special-teams snap share in Sunday's game.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Won't play vs. Pittsburgh

    Bateman (illness) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Head coach John Harbaugh initially expressed optimism Friday that Bateman would be able to play in Sunday's pivotal AFC North tilt, but the fifth-year wideout will end up being sidelined after missing practice all week while battling through an illness. With Bateman sidelined, Lamar Jackson will lean more on Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, Devontez Walker, Tylan Wallace and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely in the passing game. Bateman will end the 2025 regular season with 19 catches (on 39 targets) for 224 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games. He'll aim to progress enough in his recovery to be available for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs should the Ravens advance with a win over the Steelers on Sunday.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Moves to IR

    The Giants placed Robinson (ribs) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Robinson wasn't able to practice during Week 18 prep due to a rib injury before New York ruled him out for Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys. He thus finishes the 2025 campaign with 92 catches (on 140 targets) for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns, much of it without 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers following his torn ACL from Week 4. Robinson is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and likely will be coveted coming off back-to-back 90-plus-catch seasons.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Placed on injured reserve

    The Packers placed Williams (foot/illness) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Williams was unable to practice for consecutive days in Week 18, and the wide receiver will officially need to miss at least four contests while he resides on IR. If the Packers can advance to the Super Bowl, Williams may be able to return for the game. The rookie third-rounder amassed 10 receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets while adding 11 rush attempts for 37 yards on the ground over 12 regular-season outings.

  • Packers' Jakobie Keeney-James: Signed to active roster

    The Packers signed Keeney-James from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    With Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) listed as doubtful and Savion Williams (foot/illness) placed on injured reserve, Keeney-James is likely set to fill the void at wide receiver for Sunday's game. If he plays, Week 18 would be the 25-year-old's first contest of the season, and he would likely be the No. 6 receiver behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Bo Melton.
