Irving (shoulder/foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Though he carried a questionable tag into Sunday, Irving will end up being cleared to play, as expected, after he logged a trio of full practices this week. The second-year back will be suiting up for the first time since Week 4, and because of the length of his absence due to a subluxation of his left shoulder as well as a sprained left foot, Irving is expected to be eased back into the mix with a lighter workload than usual. Head coach Todd Bowles hasn't provided any specifics regarding what sort of limitations Irving might be under, so the 23-year-old could carry some risk as a fantasy lineup option for Week 13. Sean Tucker and Rachaad White are still expected to have roles in the game plan, though both could see their snaps scaled back compared to previous weeks now that Irving is back in the fold.

Knight (knee), who is officially questionable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Knight was limited in all three practices this week while managing the knee issue, but he looks like he'll be cleared to play in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) have both been ruled out for the contest, so Knight should serve as Arizona's top running back. However, Michael Carter should get a fair amount of offensive snaps as well, particularly on passing downs.

Irving (shoulder/foot), who is officially questionable to play Sunday against Arizona, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

If Irving does indeed play, he'll be taking the field for the first time since Week 4. The second-year running back set himself up to suit up this weekend with a trio of full practices Wednesday through Friday, but he won't necessarily get a full workload right off the bat. Schefter notes that Tampa Bay doesn't want to "overdo it with Irving," suggesting that his snap count could be managed to some extent. That said, Irving could still earn enough touches to make a tangible impact in the contest and in fantasy box scores.

The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Jones will be available to play Sunday against the Vikings. He appeared in five regular-season games for the Saints before being cut in late October and mostly contributed on special teams.

The Seahawks signed Gaskin off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Gaskin re-joined the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday, and he'll now be an official member of the team's active roster after George Holani (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Gaskin last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Vikings, when he appeared in five games and contributed mostly on special teams as a returner on kickoffs.

The Seahawks placed Holani (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Holani was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Titans in Week 12. The injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which means Holani will be required to miss at least the next four games, making him eligible to make his return in Week 17 against the Panthers on Saturday, Dec. 27. Rashid Shaheed and Cody White will handle return duties on kickoffs in Holani's absence, and Cam Akers and Myles Gaskin will provide backfield depth behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

The Chargers elevated Williams from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

Williams will be elevated for the third straight game and will provide additional depth at running back due to Omarion Hampton (ankle) being out. The 28-year-old Williams has carried the ball three times for a loss of one yard so far this season and will likely have a limited role again Sunday. This is the final time this season that the team can elevate Williams, and they will have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to appear in another game.

The Chargers signed Patterson to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

Patterson will provide additional depth at running back during Sunday's matchup versus the Raiders, as Omarion Hampton (ankle) will be sidelined for at least one more game. Patterson had already been elevated from the practice squad the maximum three times, carrying the ball 21 times for 75 yards across those appearances.

The Buccaneers waived Wright on Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Wright is headed to waivers just two weeks after he was signed to the active roster from the practice squad. The 26-year-old carried the ball just three times for six yards across three games played and will now look to catch on with another team.

Brooks didn't get any carries but caught both of his targets for nine yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over Detroit.

On a day when six different Packers -- including three WRs -- got at least one carry, Brooks was invisible in the running game. However, he did notch a pair of catches to ensure his name appeared in the box score. Brooks has 11 rushes and 10 catches on the campaign as Green Bay's No. 3 RB, so it's not out of the norm for him to be featured more as a pass catcher than as a ball carrier during his limited offensive snaps.
