Sherfield was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Sherfield will be on the active roster for the second game in a row after he was called up for last week's loss to the Rams, when he tallied one target across nine offensive snaps. The 29-year-old should once again serve as Arizona's fourth wideout behind Michael Wilson, Andre Baccellia and fellow practice-squad elevation Jalen Brooks. Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) will both remain sidelined. Sherfield will be eligible for one more practice-squad elevation with the Cardinals this season.

Powers (biceps) has been ruled out for Denver's matchup versus Green Bay on Sunday.

Powers was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday but will have to wait at least one more week before making his return. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since the Week 5 win over the Eagles and must be activated before he's eligible to play.

The Cardinals elevated Brooks from the practice squad Saturday.

This is the second straight practice-squad elevation for Brooks. The 25-year-old logged two catches (on three targets) for 32 yards to go along with three kickoff returns for 66 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Rams. With Greg Dortch (chest) on IR and both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) ruled out again, Brooks will once again serve as the Cardinals' No. 4 wideout versus Houston on Sunday.

Zinter (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Bears.

Zinter made his season debut during the Week 14 loss to the Titans but ended up suffering a back injury after playing just five snaps. With Wyatt Teller (calf) out as well, Teven Jenkins should be in line to start at right guard during Sunday's game.

Nichols (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Nichols was already ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston after he sustained a knee injury during last week's loss to the Rams. With Arizona already eliminated from playoff contention, this transaction means that the 29-year-old will now miss the remainder of the season on IR. Nichols totaled three tackles over four appearances in 2025.

Although he was added to the 49ers' injury report Saturday, McCaffrey (back) is expected to play against the Titans on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

McCaffrey popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a back issue, but at this time, the injury isn't considered severe enough for him to miss Sunday's contest. If McCaffrey suffers a setback or operates on a snap count, then Brian Robinson, Isaac Guerendo and Jordan James would be in line for more work out of the 49ers' backfield. McCaffrey's official status may not be announced until the 49ers submit their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jules (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Baltimore.

Jules is still battling the ankle injury he sustained during the Week 14 loss to the Bills. Daijahn Anthony and Tycen Anderson could be in line for increased usage if Jules ends up being unable to play in Sunday's matchup.

Las Vegas elevated Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Jackson was elevated for the second week in a row after playing four snaps during last week's loss to the Broncos. He'll once again serve as the Raiders' fifth wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Tyler Lockett and Dont'e Thornton. This was also the third time that Jackson was called up from the practice squad, marking the final time that he was eligible to he elevated this season. He'll now have to be signed to the active roster to play any further games for the Raiders this year.

The Patriots placed Jennings (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.

As expected, Jennings will go on injured reserve due to a concussion, and with just four games left in the regular season, he won't be eligible to play for the Patriots until the postseason. D'Ernest Johnson was signed off the practice squad to New England's active roster in a corresponding move, and he'll serve as the team's RB3 behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson to close out the regular season.

Chandler (knee) was ruled out Saturday for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Chandler has been sidelined since Week 1 while dealing with a knee injury, and he was designated to return from IR on Dec. 3. The 27-year-old was a full participant during practice this week, but he'll remain out for at least one more game. Chandler will have to be restored to the active roster by Dec. 24, or else he'll revert to IR for the remainder of the season. His next opportunity to play will be the Week 16 contest versus the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 21.
