Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Elliss has battled separate injuries of late, and he'll now miss his second straight game with the hamstring issue. Que Robinson should see an increased role in Elliss's absence.

Nubin (neck) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against New England.

Nubin missed each of New York's past two contests while dealing with a neck issue. He was able to log an LP/FP/FP practice progression this week to set up his return to game action on Monday Night Football. Dane Belton, who has been starting in Nubin's stead, will likely return to a reserve role against the Patriots.

Nixon recorded seven tackles (seven solo) in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Nixon suffered a stinger in Green Bay's Week 12 win over the Vikings, but he still managed to suit up on a short week. He played 100 percent of defensive snaps while also logging his second-highest tackle total of the season.

Atwell (hamstring) wasn't activated off IR ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Carolina, Mike Masala of Rams Wire reports.

Atwell was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and logged three full practices this week. Head coach Sean McVay expressed upon Atwell's return to practice that he expected the wideout to be activated for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, but that didn't end up happening by Saturday's deadline. Atwell will now look to make his return to game action next Sunday against Arizona.

Cooper recorded eight tackles (two solo) in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Cooper was on the injury report with a foot injury leading up to the contest, though he still played nearly all of the defensive snaps. His eight tackles were his highest mark since Week 9, while he's managed to take a step forward in his second year as a pro.

McKinney recorded six tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

McKinney remains one of the most important players in the Packers' defense, as he's been on the field for every defensive snap this season. His six tackles were an average performance by his standard, albeit his highest total since Week 10.

Williams recorded nine tackles (three solo) in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Williams finished second on the team with nine tackles, matching his second-highest mark of the campaign. He's topped a 90 percent defensive snap rate in each of his last three games, during which he's recorded 22 total tackles with two interceptions.

Carter (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Carter was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, but he'll now miss the next month of action. He has appeared in two games this season and worked exclusively on special teams.

Diggs was elevated from Seattle's practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Diggs signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday, but it may not take long for him to make his first appearance with the team since 2023. He could take on a starting role if Ty Okada (oblique) cannot suit up.

The Panthers signed King to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

King will now have an opportunity to make his NFL regular-season debut after joining the active roster. The 22-year-old should help bolster the team's depth in the secondary, as Jaycee Horn (concussion) and Corey Thornton (leg) are both dealing with injuries.
