Sauls reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

After waiving Younghoe Koo on Tuesday, the Giants turned to Sauls to serve as the starting kicker against the Vikings on Sunday, when he made both of his field-goal attempts from 27 and 39 yards while nailing his lone point-after try. Sauls will likely be elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of their Week 17 tilt against the Raiders.

Wease reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The undrafted rookie out of Missouri was called up from the practice squad and made his NFL regular-season debut during Sunday's loss against the Bengals. He ended up playing 21 of 59 offensive snaps (35.6 percent) and finished with two catches (on four targets) for 32 yards, with both of his receptions occurring inside the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. Wease's increased workload on offense came after Dee Eskridge was removed from Sunday's game in the third quarter due to a toe injury. Wease would be a top candidate to be elevated to the Dolphins' active roster for this Sunday against the Buccaneers if Eskridge is unable to play.

Bortolini (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the 49ers.

Danny Pinter will remain at center for the rest of Monday's game. Now that he's in the league's concussion protocol, Bortolini is in jeopardy of being sidelined for the Colts' Week 17 home tilt against the Jaguars this Sunday.

Matavao reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Matavao logged 21 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets but played behind all four of Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jack Stoll. Matavao didn't draw a single target against New York.

Ricci reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Ricci played 24 snaps (14 on offense, 10 on special teams) during the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday, but he did not show up on the box score otherwise. He's been elevated from the practice squad twice this season, and he's eligible to be called up once more over the final two games of the regular season.

Ehlinger reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Ehlinger was inactive as the Broncos' emergency QB3 for Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Ehlinger hasn't played a single snap this season.

Badgley reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday.

Badgley was brought up from the practice squad to serve as the Bills' kicker in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns after Matt Prater (quadriceps) was forced to miss his first game of the season. He made his lone field-goal attempt from 41 yards and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries. If Prater is unable to progress enough in his recovery to play Week 17 against the Eagles, Badgley would likely be summoned from the practice squad once again.

Alexander reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) inactive against the Packers, Alexander played one offensive snap but didn't produce anything in the box score. The 28-year-old hasn't drawn a regular-season target since 2022 with the Lions.

Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Blair played nine of 77 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Cardinals but wasn't targeted in the passing game, as he operated as Atlanta's WR4 behind Darnell Mooney, Drake London and David Sills. Blair doesn't have a catch across two appearances this season.

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

Sims was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster and made his 2025 regular-season debut during Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He played seven of 57 offensive snaps without recording a target, but he also played six snaps on special teams and returned two kickoffs for 55 yards. Sims is eligible to be elevated to the active roster twice more this season, and he could be brought up from the practice squad for Arizona's Week 17 tilt against Cincinnati on Sunday.
