  • Chris Collier: Returns to practice squad

    Collier reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Collier was elevated to the Raiders' active roster Saturday for the first time this season. However, he was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Raiders despite Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee) being inactive. Collier has not appeared in a regular-season game this year, and his last opportunity to do so is Week 18 against the Chiefs.

  • Clayton Tune QB | GB

    Clayton Tune: Returns to practice squad

    Tune reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Tune was elevated to serve as the team's No. 2 quarterback behind Malik Willis (shoulder) in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens with Jordan Love (concussion) unavailable. Tune completed one of four passes for eight yards while throwing an interception, logging eight snaps on offense. The interception came in the fourth quarter when Tune was thrust into the game with Willis briefly sidelined following an aggravation of his previous shoulder issue. With the Packers locked in as the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, it's possible that Love sits in Week 18 and Tune serves as the primary backup behind Willis against the Vikings.

  • Drake Dabney TE | GB

    Drake Dabney: Back with practice squad

    Dabney reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Dabney was elevated to the active roster to make his NFL debut ahead of Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens. The tight end ranked third at his position in snaps on offense behind Josh Whyle (30) and Luke Musgrave (20), failing to record any stats on seven offensive snaps. Dabney was also on the field for seven snaps on special teams, producing no output. The 23-year-old could be elevated again in Week 18 against Minnesota.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | ATL

    Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Zero catches against Bills

    Dotson finished with zero catches on one target in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.

    Dotson has now been held without a catch on six different occasions this season and has caught exactly one pass seven times. If the Eagles rest their starters in next week's regular-season finale against the Commanders, he could play a larger role, but with the second seed still a possibility with a win and a Bears loss, that may not be the plan.

  • Brayden Willis: Reverts to practice squad

    Willis reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Willis was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday night's 42-38 win over the Bears. The tight end helped fill in for George Kittle (ankle), but he logged just one snap on offense, far behind Jake Tonges (50) and Luke Farrell (27) in offensive snaps. Willis was able to secure one tackle while playing 24 snaps with the special-teams unit. If Kittle remains sidelined Saturday against the Seahawks, Willis could be elevated again for the team's final regular-season contest.

  • Bailey Zappe QB | NYJ

    Bailey Zappe: Reverts to practice squad

    Zappe reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Zappe stepped into the Browns' backup quarterback role behind Shedeur Sanders during Sunday's win over the Steelers due to the absence of Dillon Gabriel (shoulder). Zappe could reprise the QB2 role against the Bengals in Week 18 if Gabriel is not cleared to play.

  • Sal Cannella TE | CLE

    Browns' Sal Cannella: Returns to practice squad

    Cannella reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Cannella was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17, and he ultimately led all tight ends with four targets, reeling in two of them for 11 yards. With Harold Fannin (groin) unable to complete the game, Cannella was thrust into a more significant role, and he could be elevated again prior to Sunday's final regular-season contest against the Bengals.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Steven Sims: Back with practice squad

    Sims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Sims was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week, failing to record any stats while playing three snaps on offense. Michael Wilson (49), Xavier Weaver (38), Marvin Harrison (19) and Jalen Brooks (17) out-snapped him on offense, though Harrison aggravated his heel injury in the contest. Additionally, Sims returned five kickoffs for 132 yards and added a five-yard punt return in the team's 37-14 loss to Cincinnati. Sims seems likely to be elevated again for the team's final regular-season contest Sunday against the Rams.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Scores again in blowout win

    Perine had three carries for five yards and a goal-line touchdown in the Bengals' rout of the Cardinals in Week 17. He also caught a pass for eight yards.

    Perine played his lowest share of offensive snaps (31 percent) since Week 4, not counting when he got hurt Week 9 early in the loss to the Bears. Perine has been playing through an ankle injury, so it makes a certain amount of sense that he's playing fewer snaps.

  • JP Richardson WR | CHI

    JP Richardson: Back to practice squad

    Richardson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Richardson was elevated to the 49ers' active roster Saturday for the first time this season, but he was a healthy inactive for Sunday's win over the Bears. He's eligible to be elevated for Week 18 against the Seahawks, though that's unlikely to happen unless the 49ers are dealing with injuries to their wide-receiver corps.
