The Panthers elevated Chisena from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Chisena started the 2024 regular season on the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he was cut by Arizona on Oct. 11. He signed with the Panthers' practice squad Oct. 16, and he will be elevated to the active roster Saturday for the first time this season. Chisena played in four regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2023, with 53 of his 54 snaps coming on special teams.

Carolina signed Thompkins from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Thompkins will fill the spot on the Panthers' 53-man roster that was vacated by Miles Sanders, who was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to an ankle injury. Thompkins has played 14 snaps on offense across two regular-season games and rushed for minus-2 yards on one carry in Week 9 against the Saints.

The Eagles activated Covey (shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, and he carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams.

Covey suffered a shoulder injury in Week 3 against the Saints, which forced him to be sidelined for the Eagles' last seven games. The 27-year-old wideout was a full participant in practice all week, and he's progressed through his injury enough to play Sunday. Covey has logged seven catches on as many targets for 34 yards in three regular-season games.

Bateman (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's Week 12 contest against the Chargers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Bateman popped up on the injury report as a DNP on Thursday due to a knee issue, but the injury was apparently minor, as the wideout was estimated as a full participant at Saturday's walkthrough. As such, Bateman will be able to suit up against Los Angeles on Monday Night Football. He's tallied 11 catches on 17 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown over his past three games while working as Baltimore's No. 2 receiver behind Zay Flowers.

McConkey (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's Week 12 battle against Baltimore.

McConkey recorded a career-high 123 receiving yards against Cincinnati last Sunday, but he also picked up a shoulder injury. The rookie receiver logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to suit up for Monday Night Football. If McConkey misses the contest, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would be the Chargers' top two wideouts against the Ravens.

Cooks (knee) was not activated by the Cowboys on Saturday and will not play against the Commanders on Sunday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

A right knee infection landed Cooks on injured reserve Oct. 5, and he's since missed more than the required four games. The veteran receiver was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and was able to participate in a limited fashion in all three of Dallas' practices this week, though Friday was a walkthrough session. Despite his return to practice, Cooks isn't ready to return to the field against Washington on Sunday, but there's a possibility he will be activated ahead of next Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Giants.

Reynolds (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

For a second consecutive week, Reynolds was listed as a full participant on all three Broncos injury reports. However, he won't be activated from injured reserve just yet as he continues to ramp things up since fracturing a finger Week 5 against the Raiders. His next chance to suit up is Monday, Dec. 2 versus the Browns.

Bateman didn't practice Friday due to a knee injury.

Bateman wasn't listed on the Ravens' injury report Thursday, so his addition to it one day later is notable. Added context regarding the wideout's status will arrive Saturday via his participation level as well as his game status for Monday night's game against the Chargers. If, however, Bateman is limited or out versus Los Angeles, Diontae Johnson, Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace would be candidates to log more Week 12 WR snaps for Baltimore alongside Zay Flowers.

Cowing (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Cowing sustained a concussion in the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks and was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. The rookie wideout from Arizona has seen minimal offensive work through nine appearances this season, catching two of his three targets for 50 yards. Expect Ronnie Bell to serve as San Francisco's top punt returner with Cowing sidelined in Week 12.

Covey (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

Covey has missed the Eagles' last seven games due to a shoulder injury sustained the Week 3 win over the Saints. The Utah product practiced in full all week and appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's contest, but he must still be activated to Philadelphia's active roster in order to suit up. If Covey can play in Week 12, he'll likely assume the Eagles' top punt-returner duties and serve as a depth piece in their wide receiver room.
