Davis was elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Davis could be active as the Cowboys' No. 2 running back ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue. The 26-year-old has appeared in three games this season, logging 89 snaps on offense and 275 on special teams. He's carried the ball three times for just six yards.

The Cowboys activated Hooker (toe) from injured reserve Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Hooker remains listed as questionable, but his activation ahead of Monday night's game against the Raiders would suggest he has a good chance to play. With Juanyeh Thomas (migraines) placed on the reserve/NFI list last week, Hooker's return would be welcomed by Dallas' struggling defense.

Carter had two carries for six yards and gathered in five of seven targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.

Carter's 44 percent snap share marked his highest workload since Week 7, which can be attributed to Emari Demercado's early exit due to an ankle injury. Carter ended up playing one more offensive snap (33-32) than Bam Knight, who led the backfield with nine touches for 45 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. Demercado's status for Week 12 is unclear, but if he misses any time and Trey Benson (knee) isn't activated from injured reserve, Carter would split the backfield with Knight for at least this coming Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that the Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Patriots, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Hendrickson has not played since Week 8 and appears to be trending toward sitting out versus New England on Sunday, which would mark his fourth consecutive missed game. The standout pass rusher could reportedly require surgery this offseason to address a core-muscle injury but intends to delay the procedure in order to retake the field and contribute for Cincinnati this season. That said, the Bengals currently sit at a 3-7 record, and Henderson's plans could change if the team is ultimately eliminated from playoff contention.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Bethune suffered a right high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals and is expected to miss multiple weeks, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Shanahan said that Curtis Robinson will be the next man up at middle linebacker for the 49ers, who are already without Fred Warner (ankle) for the rest of the season. Bethune had recorded double-digit tackles in five straight games prior to being injured in the first half versus Arizona. Though the 24-year-old linebacker looked poised to miss multiple games, Shanahan said that Bethune is expected to avoid a stint on injured reserve.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Cowing's (hamstring) 21-day practice window will likely be opened following the 49ers' Week 14 bye, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Cowing has yet to play this season after he injured his hamstring during training camp. The 2024 fourth-round pick has dealt with hamstring issues for most of his two seasons in the league. He recorded four catches for 80 yards on very minimal playing time as a rookie last season.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Palmer (undisclosed) will be limited in practice, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Palmer appears to have emerged from Buffalo's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, in which he caught two of five targets for 17 yards, at less than full health. Monday's official practice report will reveal the nature of his injury. The Bills are holding a walkthrough Monday, so the extent of Palmer's on-field activity Tuesday and Wednesday figures to be more telling as to his odds of gaining clearance in time to suit up on the road against Houston on Thursday.

The NFL issued a one-game suspension to Chase for unsportsmanlike conduct during Cincinnati's loss to the Steelers in Week 11, ruling him out for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

According to Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chase is appealing the suspension, which he received after he spat on Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey in Sunday's 34-12 loss. As Ben Baby of ESPN.com relays, there is notable precedent for Chase's suspension being upheld; Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from Philadelphia's Week 1 win over the Cowboys after spitting in the direction of quarterback Dak Prescott following the game's first play from scrimmage, which the NFL viewed as akin to a one-game ban. Assuming Chase's appeal is unsuccessful, Tee Higgins will be in position as the clear No. 1 receiving option for quarterback Joe Flacco in Week 12, while wideout Andrei Iosivas and tight end Noah Fant could also be beneficiaries of increased opportunities in the passing game.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Jacobs suffered a knee contusion in Sunday's win over the Giants, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

LaFleur said injured reserve is not on the table, and Jacobs can potentially still play next Sunday against the Vikings. By all accounts, Jacobs has avoided a serious injury. If Jacobs does need to miss any time, Emanuel Wilson played 71 percent of the offensive snaps against New York and would be in line to handle RB1 duties for Green Bay.

Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London (knee) is considered week-to-week, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

"He could come back and feel much better," Morris said. "We just don't know." London reportedly suffered a sprained PCL in Sunday's overtime loss to the Panthers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It sounds like London will miss at least next Sunday's game against New Orleans, but Morris wasn't ready to rule out his star receiver for that contest. Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge and Carlos Washington will all be in line for bigger pieces of the target pie in Atlanta while London is sidelined.
