Chisena reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Chisena caught his only target for six yards while playing two of the team's 70 total offensive snaps in Sunday's overtime loss to the Buccaneers. Additionally, he logged 17 snaps with the special-teams unit, failing to record any stats on those snaps. The wide receiver can be elevated to the active roster one more time before Carolina would officially have to sign him.

Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Due to injury woes in New Orleans' receiving corps, Austin has been a regular in the offense the past three games, including Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams, when he hauled in all three targets for 31 yards and recorded a nine-yard carry. He also ranked second in snaps (43 of 70) among the team's healthy wide receivers behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling (53, 2-36-1 line on three targets). Considering the Saints have used the maximum three elevations on Austin, he'll need to be signed to the active roster in order to play this coming Sunday at the Giants.

Doubs (concussion) was a limited practice participant Monday.

After sustaining a concussion against the 49ers in Week 12, Doubs didn't practice at all last week and eventually was ruled out ahead of last Thursday's game versus the Dolphins. He then was on the field in full uniform Sunday and followed it up with an official limited session to begin Week 14 prep. Clearly, Doubs has made some progress through the protocol for head injuries, but it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared by an independent neurologist before this Thursday's contest at Detroit.

Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.

Bobo handled a 32 percent snap share but couldn't draw a target for the third time in four games. Barring an injury ahead of him on the depth chart, Bobo has little fantasy value.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that McConkey (knee) is "working through a couple things," and it remains to be seen if he will practice this week, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

McConkey did all of the heavy lifting Sunday against the Falcons, securing nine of 12 targets for 117 yards, but he exited late with a knee injury and was unable to return. It's unclear if he's dealing with a day-to-day or week-to-week type of injury. McConkey should be considered questionable for next Sunday's AFC West bout with the Chiefs. If McConkey needs to miss time, the Chargers will roll with Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark, Jalen Reagor and Derius Davis at wide receiver.

Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman's knee injury isn't believed to be a long-term thing, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Harbaugh said Bateman's knee is sore, and he's getting treatment this week. Bateman played 18 snaps in Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Eagles before leaving with the injury. In Bateman's absence, it was Tylan Wallace, not Diontae Johnson, who took over opposite Zay Flowers, with Nelson Agholor remaining the WR3. The Week 14 bye is coming at the right time for Bateman.

Johnson played zero offensive snaps in the Ravens' loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Acquired from the Panthers ahead of the trade deadline, Johnson played 17 offensive snaps in his Week 9 debut for the Ravens. In four games since, Johnson has played a total of 22 snaps on offense. He has one catch for six yards across five games with his new team. Speaking with the media Monday, coach John Harbaugh hinted at something going on behind the scenes when asked about Johnson's lack of playing time, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, saying, "At this time, I'm going to have to wait. There are moving parts we're going to have to figure out and explore." Baltimore doesn't seem all that interested in giving Johnson any sort of look on offense unless there's an injury.

Woods was elevated to the Browns' active roster Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Oklahoma product was elevated alongside Kadarius Toney to provide depth at wide receiver for Monday night's matchup against the Broncos, with Cedric Tillman (concussion) and David Bell (hip) both sidelined. Woods last saw regular-season NFL action with the Browns in 2022, appearing in 10 games and catching five of his 10 targets for 45 yards over 144 offensive snaps. He's expected to see minimal offensive work and may contribute on special teams in Week 13.

Toney was elevated to the Browns' active roster Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 2021 first-round pick from Florida's elevation to the active roster ensures depth at wide receiver, with Cedric Tillman (concussion) in line to miss his second consecutive game in Monday night's matchup against the Broncos. Toney has appeared in one game for the Browns this season, playing five offensive snaps and taking one carry for minus-7 yards. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in the Browns' wide receiver corps in Week 13.

Reynolds (hand) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Browns, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Reynolds will not be activated from injured reserve in time for Monday night's contest. The Broncos had listed him as questionable on Saturday's final injury report. In Reynolds' absence, the Broncos will continue to roll with Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims at wide receiver. Reynolds' next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Colts following Denver's Week 14 bye.
