Jacobs (knee), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against Minnesota, will go through pre-game warmups before Green Bay decides whether he'll be active, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter shares that Jacobs' knee is still "tender" despite the fact that it is structurally sound. It's also important to note that the Packers play again Thursday on Thanksgiving versus Detroit, so the veteran running back will have a short turnaround if he does suit up Sunday. Fantasy managers who roster Jacobs should have a contingency plan in place for at least Week 12 since his status is very much up in the air and probably won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff.

Fidone (foot) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official sitereports.

Fidone was ruled out for Week 12 on Friday due to what appears to be a nagging foot injury he's dealt with all season. The 23-year-old, who primarily contributes on special teams, will now be out for at least the next four games.

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.
