Seahawks' Charles Cross: Unavailable for walkthrough
Cross (hamstring) was considered a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Cross sustained a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts, and he has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Thursday night's matchup with the Rams.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Undergoes surgery
Mahomes underwent surgery to repair his torn left ACL and LCL on Monday.
Mahomes was in Dallas on Monday to get a second opinion on his knee injury. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Mahomes tore the LCL in addition to the ACL in his left knee, making recovery potentially more complicated. The Chiefs noted that Mahomes' rehab will begin immediately, but a timeline for his return to the field has not been announced. Gardner Minshew will serve as the Chiefs' starter for the rest of the 2025 season.

Curl registered six tackles (three solo) during the Rams' 41-34 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Curl and Nate Landman were the only two Rams defenders to play every single defensive snap during Sunday's win.

Charlie Smyth K | NO
Saints' Charlie Smyth: Placed back on practice squad
The Saints reverted Smyth to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smyth has been New Orleans' kicker three straight weeks and has performed well, making four of five field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries. It seems likely that he'll kick again for the team in Week 16 versus the Jets, but he's out of elevations, so the Saints would need to sign Smyth to their active roster in order for him to be active on gameday. If New Orleans decides against doing so, Cade York -- who is currently on the club's practice squad -- would likely get an opportunity.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Big role late in blowout
Bigsby carried the ball 17 times for 57 yards in Sunday's blowout victory over the Raiders.
A total of 13 of Bigsby's 17 carries came after the Eagles went up 31-0 at the start of the fourth quarter. He wasn't particularly efficient, averaging 3.4 yards per carry on the day, but his fourth-quarter efforts helped the Eagles to an 11-minute, 22-second drive which killed off the game. Expect his role to shrink again next week if the Eagles aren't up big, as his 27 offensive snaps are equal to his total from the last five games combined.

Dalevon Campbell WR | LAC
Dalevon Campbell: Returns to practice squad
Campbell reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Campbell was elevated from the practice squad Saturday for a second straight game, but he ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chiefs despite the absences of Quentin Johnston (groin) and Derius Davis (ankle). Campbell is eligible to be elevated to the Chargers' active roster once more this season.

Kevin Austin Jr. WR | NO
Saints' Kevin Austin: Back to practice squad
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Austin played a season-high 38 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Panthers, catching three of five targets for 33 yards. With Devaughn Vele going down with a shoulder injury against Carolina, Austin could be in line for an elevated Week 16 role against the Jets.
