The Bears elevated Carlson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

It's the third and final time that Carlson can be elevated from the practice squad by the Bears this season, and he would have to be signed to active roster in order to continue to play for Chicago in 2025. He would serve as the Bears' TE3 behind Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland if Durham Smythe (calf) is unable to play against the Giants on Sunday.

The Vikings placed Okudah (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.

Okudah entered the league's concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during the Vikings' Week 8 loss to the Chargers. He was unable to play against the Lions in Week 9, and by being placed on injured reserve, he will be required to miss at least the next four games. That makes Week 14 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 7 the earliest that Okudah can be activated from IR. Fabian Moreau could see more defensive snaps at corner for as long as Okudah is sidelined.

The Commanders elevated Chosen from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With wide receivers Noah Brown (groin/knee) and Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) on injured reserve, and corps leader Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) also out, Chosen will provide some much-needed depth at the position for Sunday's matchup with the Lions. The 32-year-old has participated in one game this year, the Commanders' Week 7 loss to the Cowboys, when he caught all four of his targets for 36 yards.

The Vikings elevated Kiner from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Kiner will join the Vikings' active roster for the first time this season after he signed with the team's practice squad in mid-September. His elevation gives the Vikings emergency depth in the backfield in case Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) is not cleared to play against the Ravens on Sunday.

Wooden (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wooden sustained a shoulder injury during the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to be sidelined for Week 10. The third-year defensive lineman has 23 tackles (11 solo) through eight regular-season games.

Banks (neck) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Green Bay's matchup versus the Eagles on Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Banks suffered an injury during the team's Week 9 loss to the Panthers but is seemingly healthy again. The 28-year-old should resume his role as the starting left guard during Monday's matchup.

Hobbs (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Hobbs suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain during the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers. The injury was severe enough for him to miss practice all week, and the expectation from head coach Matt LaFleur is that the 2021 fifth-rounder will also be sidelined for Week 12 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Parsons (pectoral) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Parson logged a trio of limited practices while tending to a pectoral injury, but the fifth-year pass rusher has been cleared to play in Week 10. Parsons has logged 6.5 sacks through eight regular-season games, which is second most on the Packers behind Rashan Gary (7.5) and 10th most in the NFL.

Tom (back) is questionable for Green Bay's matchup versus the Eagles on Monday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Tom has been a limited participant in practice throughout the week as he continues to battle a back injury. The 26-year-old should still be in line to play in Monday's game versus the Eagles however, as he has played through this injury for multiple weeks.

Walker (calf) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

A calf injury limited Walker in practice Thursday and Friday, but he shed an injury tag for Week 10 after logging a full session Saturday. In the four games since the Packers' Week 5 bye, Walker has accumulated 29 tackles (13 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two pass defenses.
