The Raiders elevated Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Week 14 will be Jackson's second elevation this year, with the wide receiver being elevated for the Raiders' Week 7 game against the Chiefs due to the absence of Alex Bachman. The 26-year-old Jackson logged nine percent of offense snaps in the 31-0 loss, but he is likely in for a slightly increased workload this time around, as Dont'e Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out alongside Bachman (thumb) for this Sunday's contest.

The Jets placed Brownlee (hip) on injured reserve Saturday, Susanna Weir and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.

Brownlee suffered a hip injury in the Jets' Week 12 loss to the Ravens and has not been able to suit up since. The starting slot cornerback was traded to the Jets by the Titans in late September, logging 68 percent of defensive snaps or better from Week 6 through Week 11. Now subject to the four-week minimum required by injured reserve, the earliest the cornerback can return is Week 18 against the Bills. Ja'Sir Taylor will likely take over at slot cornerback in the starter's absence, with newly signed Jordan Clark backing Taylor up.

The Rams did not activate Atwell (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Atwell logged a trio of full practices this week, as he did last week after his practice window was opened Nov. 26. However, Los Angeles has decided to keep the wideout stashed on IR, possibly because the team isn't prepared to clear an active roster spot for him. The Rams have until Dec. 17 to activate Atwell if they want him to be eligible to play again this season. For the time being at least, Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield will work as the club's depth wide receivers behind the heavily targeted Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

The Jets signed Cook to the active roster Saturday, Susanna Weir and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.

With Justin Fields (knee) ruled out, Cook will be the backup to Tyrod Taylor for Sunday's divisional contest with the Dolphins. The quarterback was elevated twice this season, once in Week 3 to be the backup to Taylor and once in Week 8 to be the backup to Fields.

Adams (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Adams logged a full practice Friday after being unable to participate in both sessions earlier in the week. The full practice was a promising sign for the safety, but the downgrade to doubtful implies the veteran suffered a setback in his recovery. If Adams is unable to suit up, Isaiah Oliver is next in line to start at free safety opposite Malachi Moore. The Jets' secondary has also received an influx of new help for Sunday's contest with the signing of Jordan Clark and the elevation from the practice squad of defensive backs Tre Brown and Nik Needham.

The Falcons signed Thompkins to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

To make room for the signing, safety DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Thompkins was elevated twice this season, once for Week 6 against the Bills and last Sunday against the Jets. The wide receiver played just nine offensive snaps between the two outings, catching both of his targets for 23 total yards. Like Hellams, the 25-year-old Thompkins is primarily a special teams player and will likely fill that role for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

The Packers waived Heath on Saturday.

Heath played in 11 games for the Packers this season, totaling six receptions for 86 yards on seven targets. The waiving of the wide receiver likely has to do with the potential return of both Jayden Reed (foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist). Heath will now revert to the waiver wire, and if he clears, he will become a free agent or moved to the Packers' practice squad.

The Jaguars activated Murray (neck) from injured reserve Saturday.

Murray was a full participant in practice during Week 14, and the activation from injured reserve means he has a good chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts. The veteran safety last played in Week 7 against the Rams, and he logged 371 defensive snaps in the 2025 regular season before sustaining the neck injury. The absence of current starter Andrew Wingard (concussion) could also be a key factor influencing Murray's chances to play.

The Jaguars waived Schrader on Saturday.

Schrader has been a healthy scratch since the Jaguars re-signed him to the active roster Oct. 8, so, unsurprisingly, the running back is being waived. The team will continue to roll out Travis Etienne as the starter, with Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen present in a rotational capacity. Schrader will likely sign with the Jaguars' practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Jaguars elevated Trammell from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.

With Travis Hunter (knee) on injured reserve and Parker Washington (hip) questionable for Sunday's game, Trammell will provide depth to a wide receiver room led by Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers. A recent addition to the practice squad after being waived from the active roster, the 27-year-old Trammell has played in five games this season, accumulating three receptions for 46 yards on 10 targets.
