  • Eric Wilson LB | MIN

    Vikings' Eric Wilson: Posts big stat line in Week 13 loss

    Wilson finished Sunday's loss to Seattle with 11 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks and four total tackles for loss.

    It was an ugly day for the Vikings as a team, but Wilson managed to put forth a strong effort on defense. His 11 stops led Minnesota and were a season-high mark for the veteran linebacker. Wilson's sack pushed him to 4.5 on the campaign, which is already a career-best total through 12 contests.

  • Rasul Douglas CB | WAS

    Dolphins' Rasul Douglas: Secures interception in return

    Douglas recorded six total tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 21-17 win over New Orleans.

    Douglas made his return to action after missing two weeks with a foot injury, most notably jumping in front of a pass from Tyler Shough in the second quarter for an interception. The pick was his first of the season, and he's now registered 42 total tackles (29 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed and a forced fumble over 10 games this year.

  • Jordyn Brooks LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Double-digit stops in win

    Brooks recorded 12 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Brooks was able to lead the team in takedowns in Week 13, securing double-digit stops for the third game in a row and seventh time overall this season. The linebacker is now up to 137 total tackles (77 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 12 contests this year.

  • Velus Jones: Returns to practice squad

    Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Jones was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings, most notably downing a punt from Michael Dickson in the fourth quarter. The running back didn't record any additional stats over his 17 snaps with the special-teams unit in the game. Jones can be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

  • Xavier Restrepo: Reverts to practice squad

    Restrepo (ankle) reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Restrepo was elevated to the Titans' active roster for a second consecutive week, and he played 11 of 59 offensive snaps during Tennessee's 25-3 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. He finished the game with a 15-yard catch late in the fourth quarter, but he suffered an ankle injury during that play that was severe enough for him to be carted off the field. The undrafted rookie out of Miami showed promise in his two regular-season appearances with the Titans, but his ankle injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the rest of 2025.

  • Matt Gay K | LV

    49ers' Matt Gay: Returns to practice squad

    The 49ers reverted Gay to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    With Eddy Pineiro missing the past two weeks due to a hamstring injury, Gay has stepped in and gone 4-for-4 on field goals as well as 4-for-4 on PATs. San Francisco is on bye Week 14 and Pineiro is trending toward active status when the team returns to action Week 15, so Gay's tenure as the club's kicker may have come to an end.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Back to practice squad

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

    Smyth beat out Cade York for the Saints' starting kicking job during Week 13 prep, and the former had a promising NFL debut during Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Dolphins, when he drilled his lone field-goal attempt from 56 yards and successfully converted on an onside kick late in the fourth quarter. Smyth will likely be elevated to the Saints' active roster for a second consecutive game and be available for this Sunday's NFC South clash against the Buccaneers.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    Saints' Dante Pettis: Goes back to practice squad

    Pettis reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Pettis got his third elevation of the season for Sunday's Week 13 loss to Miami. He logged three snaps on offense without recording any targets, though the veteran wideout also played nine snaps on special teams and returned two punts for 12 yards along with two kicks for 47 yards. Since Pettis has already been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster to suit up for the Saints again during the regular season.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Ruled out with head injury

    Jennings (head) will not return to Monday's game against the Giants, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Jennings exited the game early in the second quarter and was last seen headed into the locker room. It's unclear if he was diagnosed with a concussion, though additional details should emerge following the game. TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson should see a heavy workload for the rest of the game as the only healthy running backs that are active for the Patriots.

  • John Wolford QB | MIN

    John Wolford: Reverts to practice squad

    Wolford reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Wolford was elevated to the Vikings' active roster for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, when he served as Minnesota's backup quarterback behind Max Brosmer due to the absence of J.J. McCarthy (concussion). Wolford didn't up playing during Sunday's 26-0 loss, and with McCarthy expected to clear the league's concussion protocol, the former is unlikely to be elevated to the Vikings' active roster for their Week 14 clash against the Commanders.
