The Packers activated Reed (foot/shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

A shade more than two weeks removed from Green Bay designating Reed for return from injured reserve, he now officially has a chance for his first game action since Week 2, after which he underwent procedures to address a broken collarbone and a Jones fracture in his foot. Assuming he's active once the team posts its inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll rejoin a receiving corps that includes Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton, while Matthew Golden (wrist) also is listed as questionable like Reed.

The Saints elevated Austin from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Austin will be elevated for the third straight week and should continue to serve as a depth receiver and special teamer. This is the final time this season that New Orleans can elevate the 25-year-old, and the team will need to sign him to the active roster in order for Austin to appear in another game.

The Steelers elevated Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Valdes-Scantling could make his debut with Pittsburgh during Sunday's matchup after joining the practice squad early last month. The 31-year-old caught four passes for 40 yards across five appearances with the 49ers earlier in the season and will likely serve as a depth receiver versus Baltimore.

Dotson (toe) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game at the Chargers.

Dotson was limited in the first two practices of Week 14 prep due to a toe injury, but his return to all activity Saturday has him in the clear for Monday. In 12 games this season, he's had a few splash plays but mustered just a cumulative 11-206-1 line on 21 targets while working behind the top WR duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

The Chiefs signed Edwards to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

Edwards will officially join the active roster after logging four tackles (two solo) in his season debut during the team's Week 13 loss to Dallas. With Christian Roland-Wallace landing on injured reserve with a back injury earlier in the day, Edwards could take over as the team's starting slot cornerback going forward.

Haskins (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's game versus the Eagles, but he remains on injured reserve.

Haskins was a full participant in his second practice back since being placed on injured reserve in Week 8. It's still unclear if the 26-year-old will be activated for the Chargers' Week 14 game, but if he is, the team could be getting two additions to the backfield against the Eagles, as 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton's return is trending in a positive direction, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Should Hampton be activated off injured reserve, he will likely take a majority of the RB reps. It's yet to be known what Haskin's role would be, as Kimani Vidal is also healthy.

The Saints elevated Smyth from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

In his Saints debut last Sunday in Miami, Smyth connected on his only kick, a 56-yard field-goal attempt. Coach Kellen Moore told Jeff Nowak of WWL New Orleans on Wednesday that Smyth was expected to handle placekicking duties again in Week 14 over fellow practice-squad member Cade York, which now is official.

The Chiefs placed Roland-Wallace (back) on injured reserve Saturday.

Roland-Wallace had already sat out the team's Week 13 loss to Dallas and will now be forced to miss an additional four weeks. Mike Edwards, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding transaction, should step in as the team's starting slot cornerback going forward with Roland-Wallace sidelined.

The Colts activated Carlies (ankle) off injured reserve Saturday.

Carlies was originally listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. With his activation off injured reserve, he is clear of any injury designation. This comes after the 24-year-old was a full participant in practice all week. The second-year pro will likely play a rotational role at linebacker while also participating on special teams in his 2025 season debut, assuming he sees the field Sunday.

Lewis (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Jaguars.

Lewis will miss his fourth game of the season, this time due to an ankle injury that he seemingly picked up earlier in the week. Samson Ebukam and JT Tuimoloau should see increased playing time against Jacksonville in Lewis' absence.
