The Giants activated Gray (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Gray was able to practice in full all week. This activation was the last step in the 26-year-old's ability to suit up for the Giants' Week 12 matchup versus the Lions. The third-year pro will likely see depth running back duties behind both Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy, assuming Gray is active.

The Lions elevated Firkser to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.

Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad in early November. The 30-year-old will likely be a depth piece behind Brock Wright and Ross Dwelley now that starter Sam LaPorta is expected to be out for the remainder of the season. Firkser, a seven-year pro, has 78 career games under his belt but hasn't appeared on the stat sheet since 2022.

Reed (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and does not carry an injury designation for Week 12.

Reed was moved to injured reserve Oct. 1 after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4 versus the Browns. His return in Week 12 will be a major boost for the Lions' secondary, as Terrion Arnold (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday. Reed recorded 16 tackles and an interception prior to his injury.

Wallace (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against San Francisco, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Wallace was unable to participate in practice this week after sustaining a shoulder injury in the Panthers' Week 11 overtime win over the Falcons. The 22-year-old has 52 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, so far this season. With Christian Rozeboom also out for Week 12, Bam Martin-Scott and Claudin Cherelus will likely see more snaps in their place.

Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against San Francisco, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Rozeboom didn't practice all week after suffering a hamstring injury in the Panthers' Week 11 win over the Falcons. The 28-year-old has 91 tackles and one forced fumble so far this season. Bam Martin-Scott and Claudin Cherelus could both see more snaps with Rozeboom unavailable.

Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers and will remain on IR for now.

Johnson hasn't played since Week 2 and underwent core-muscle surgery in late September. The veteran cornerback was designated to return from IR on Nov. 14, but he's not yet ready to return to game action. Johnson was able to practice in full both Thursday and Friday this week, so there appears to be a decent chance he'll be activated in time to play next Friday versus the Eagles.

The Saints elevated Pettis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Falcons.

Pettis made his season debut with the Saints in Week 10, serving as the team's punt returner in place of Rashid Shaheed, who was traded to Seattle. Coming out of the team's bye week, it appears Pettis will continue his role as a returner in Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta.

Gordon (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 game against Pittsburgh and will remain on IR for the time being.

Gordon has been on injured reserve due to a calf issue since Oct. 25. He was designated to return Wednesday and logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week, but he's not yet ready to suit up for game action. The Bears have a short week with their next game set for Black Friday versus Philadelphia, which may have played a part in the decision to hold out Gordon for Sunday.

The Bears elevated Kalinic from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Pittsburgh.

This is Kalinic's first elevation of the campaign after he signed with Chicago's practice squad in late August. The 28-year-old has played in nine career NFL games -- seven in 2022 with Indianapolis and two in 2024 with the Rams -- and has yet to see a passing target. The Bears have three other healthy tight ends (Cole Kmet, Colston Loveland and Durham Smythe) on the roster, so Kalinic could be on the outside looking in for any offensive snaps Sunday.

The Cardinals elevated Brown from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Brown was added to Arizona's practice squad in mid-October. He made his first appearance with the team in Week 11 against San Francisco, recording 11 offensive snaps and 10 on special teams. The 31-year-old will again be available for Week 12 as TE4 behind Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Josiah Deguara should Brown be active.
