Xavier Restrepo WR | TEN
Xavier Restrepo: Reverts to practice squad
Restrepo (ankle) reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Restrepo was elevated to the Titans' active roster for a second consecutive week, and he played 11 of 59 offensive snaps during Tennessee's 25-3 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. He finished the game with a 15-yard catch late in the fourth quarter, but he suffered an ankle injury during that play that was severe enough for him to be carted off the field. The undrafted rookie out of Miami showed promise in his two regular-season appearances with the Titans, but his ankle injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the rest of 2025.

49ers' Matt Gay: Returns to practice squad
The 49ers reverted Gay to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Eddy Pineiro missing the past two weeks due to a hamstring injury, Gay has stepped in and gone 4-for-4 on field goals as well as 4-for-4 on PATs. San Francisco is on bye Week 14 and Pineiro is trending toward active status when the team returns to action Week 15, so Gay's tenure as the club's kicker may have come to an end.

Charlie Smyth K | NO
Saints' Charlie Smyth: Back to practice squad
Smyth reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smyth beat out Cade York for the Saints' starting kicking job during Week 13 prep, and the former had a promising NFL debut during Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Dolphins, when he drilled his lone field-goal attempt from 56 yards and successfully converted on an onside kick late in the fourth quarter. Smyth will likely be elevated to the Saints' active roster for a second consecutive game and be available for this Sunday's NFC South clash against the Buccaneers.

Dante Pettis WR | BUF
Saints' Dante Pettis: Goes back to practice squad
Pettis reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Pettis got his third elevation of the season for Sunday's Week 13 loss to Miami. He logged three snaps on offense without recording any targets, though the veteran wideout also played nine snaps on special teams and returned two punts for 12 yards along with two kicks for 47 yards. Since Pettis has already been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster to suit up for the Saints again during the regular season.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Ruled out with head injury
Jennings (head) will not return to Monday's game against the Giants, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Jennings exited the game early in the second quarter and was last seen headed into the locker room. It's unclear if he was diagnosed with a concussion, though additional details should emerge following the game. TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson should see a heavy workload for the rest of the game as the only healthy running backs that are active for the Patriots.

John Wolford QB | MIN
John Wolford: Reverts to practice squad
Wolford reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Wolford was elevated to the Vikings' active roster for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, when he served as Minnesota's backup quarterback behind Max Brosmer due to the absence of J.J. McCarthy (concussion). Wolford didn't up playing during Sunday's 26-0 loss, and with McCarthy expected to clear the league's concussion protocol, the former is unlikely to be elevated to the Vikings' active roster for their Week 14 clash against the Commanders.

Trayveon Williams RB | CLE
Trayveon Williams: Back with practice squad
Williams reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Williams elevated for the third game in a row ahead of Sunday's 31-14 win over the Raiders, failing to record any stats while playing 14 snaps on special teams. The running back didn't garner an offensive snap while Kimani Vidal (51) and Jaret Patterson (15) operated ahead of him in the backfield. With Omarion Hampton (ankle) nearing a return to action, Williams will likely remain on the practice squad or operate in an extreme depth role moving forward.

Keleki Latu TE | BUF
Keleki Latu: Returns to practice squad
Latu reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Latu was elevated to the Bills' active roster for Sunday's game against the Steelers due to the absence of Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), though the former played just four of 74 offensive snaps. It was the third time Latu was elevated from the practice squad, which means he would have to be signed to Buffalo's active roster in order to continue to play for the team this season.

Pharaoh Brown TE | IND
Pharaoh Brown: Placed back on practice squad
The Cardinals reverted Brown to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Brown got his third straight elevation ahead of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay and played seven of Arizona's 61 offensive snaps along with seven snaps on special teams. He didn't get any targets, which was also the case in his first two appearances this season. Since Brown has been elevated the maximum three times, he'll need to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up again with the Cardinals during the regular season.

Deven Thompkins WR | LV
Falcons' Deven Thompkins: Back to practice squad
Thompkins reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Thompkins was elevated to the Falcons' active roster for a second straight game due to the absence of Drake London (knee). Thompkins played just nine of 69 offensive snaps during the Falcons' 27-24 loss to the Jets on Sunday, but he made the most of his limited playing time as he caught both of his targets for 23 yards while adding a five-yard rush. He also played five snaps on special teams and turned three kickoff returns into 63 yards. Thompkins is eligible to be elevated from Atlanta's practice squad once more this season, and that could come as soon as Week 14 against the Seahawks this Sunday if London is not cleared to return.
