Overshown (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

It was previously reported that Overshown is in line to make his season debut in Week 11 after recovering from a very serious knee injury. He practiced in limited capacity throughout the week, but he has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cardinals, as expected.

Thomas (migraine) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas has been dealing with a migraine for the last three weeks, and he's missed two games as a result. He turned in a full practice Saturday, which is a positive sign for his return, though his status won't be official until shortly before Monday night's kickoff.

Sanborn (groin) has been ruled ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Sanborn will be in for his second consecutive absence after being unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. He was supplanted as a starting linebacker in Week 5, though he still contributes some defensive snaps as well as on special teams.

Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Johnson was a limited participant in Friday's practice after playing through his groin injury before the Week 8 bye. Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic said head coach Jonathan Gannon made it sound as if Johnson had a good chance to play Monday.

Wilson (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson missed Dallas' Week 8 loss to the Broncos and will be in line for his second consecutive absence. With Juanyeh Thomas (migraine) questionable, the Cowboys could be very thin in the back end of their secondary in Monday's matchup against the Cardinals.

Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Johnson landed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury after Week 3 and returned to practice Wednesday. He turned in full practice sessions Thursday and Friday but will wait until at least Week 10 to be activated.

Bandy was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Marvin Mims (concussion) being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bandy has been elevated to the active roster for what could be his first regular-season game as a Bronco. The wide receiver finished the preseason with six catches for 59 yards while logging 13 yards on two punt returns. Bandy will likely operate in a reserve capacity as the second punt returner behind Riley Moss. He will also be the fifth wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Trent Sherfield.

Lewis was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The 41-year-old veteran was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Texans. Injuries to Lucas Krull (foot) and Nate Adkins (knee) will render them unable to compete Sunday, so the Broncos will turn to Lewis to provide offensive and special teams value behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman.

Niemann (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Niemann has been exclusively a special-teams contributor this season, logging 115 snaps for the Packers unit before suffering a pectoral injury in last Sunday's win over the Steelers. Niemann's move to the injured reserve makes room for linebacker Kristian Welch to be signed to the active roster. Welch will likely take over Niemann's special-teams snaps for the foreseeable future.

Patterson was elevated from the Chargers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Patterson will be elevated to the active roster for the second straight week as the Chargers have an injury-riddled running back room. He had 11 rushing attempts in a blowout win over the Vikings in Week 8 and could be the primary change-of-pace back to Kimani Vidal in Week 9.
