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

Strong was brought up to the Packers' active roster Saturday to give the team additional depth in the backfield. However, he ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's loss to the Broncos after Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) were cleared to play. Strong hasn't played a single regular-season snap despite being elevated from the practice squad three times, and he won't be allowed to play for Green Bay for the rest of 2025 unless he's signed to the active roster.

Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday.

Bandy was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers, reeling in his only target for a 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter while playing two offensive snaps in the contest. The wide receiver was helping fill in for Pat Bryant (hamstring) in Week 15, but he was still a relative afterthought as Courtland Sutton (60), Lil'Jordan Humphrey (46), Troy Franklin (34) and Marvin Mims (21) logged more snaps on offense. Bandy will now need to be officially signed to the active roster to appear in another contest with Denver this season.

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

Ehlinger was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad Saturday. He was a healthy inactive during Denver's 34-26 win over Green Bay on Sunday, during which starter Bo Nix played every single offensive snap while Jarrett Stidham served as the backup. Ehlinger is eligible to be elevated to the active roster twice more during the regular season.

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

With Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on injured reserve, Ricci was elevated behind Shane Zylstra and Anthony Firkser. Ricci logged 12 offensive snaps and another 14 on special teams but didn't produce anything in the box score against the Rams during Sunday's loss.

Brown reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With Travis Homer (ankle) inactive for Week 15 against Cleveland, Brown was called up as the Bears' RB3 behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. Brown ended up playing just one offensive snap and six more on special teams, recording one tackle.

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

Sherfield was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week ahead of Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans, failing to record any stats while playing 14 snaps on offense and 17 snaps with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver helped fill in for Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring), who were both unavailable in Week 15, as well as for fellow wideout Andre Baccellia (neck) was stretchered off the field late in the second quarter. Sherfield could be elevated one more time in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Brooks reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.

Brooks played 47 snaps on offense -- second most among Arizona wideouts -- during the Cardinals' 40-20 loss to the Texans. He finished with one catch (on three targets) for 19 yards and contributed on special teams with five kickoff returns for 132 yards. Brooks is eligible to be called up from the practice squad once more this season, which could happen in Week 16 against the Falcons. The Cardinals are dealing with injuries at receiver to Marvin Harrison (heel), Xavier Weaver (hamstring) and Andre Baccellia (neck).

Ayomanor recorded one reception (on one target) for 17 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers.

Ayomanor recorded a 17-yard catch on Tennessee's opening possession and looked to be in for a big role in the offense. However, he wasn't targeted again and now has been held to only one catch in three straight contests.

Tunsil (oblique) is set to be monitored at practice in the coming days, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Tunsil suffered an oblique injury in Sunday's win over the Giants, and head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the team will see how the offensive lineman's "movement and strength" is at practice this week. Quinn explained that if Tunsil can play, then he will suit up in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Spears rushed the ball three times for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers. He added two receptions (on two targets) for two yards.

Spears was on the field for only 20 offensive snaps, his lowest mark since his season debut in Week 5. His longest gain went for 20 yards and came during garbage time in the blowout loss. Spears has been a peripheral option in the Tennessee backfield, and the Titans have shown no signs of shifting work away from Tony Pollard.
