Skowronek (hand) was not given an injury designation for Monday's clash against Miami.

Skowronek didn't practice Wednesday due to the hand issue, but he was able to finish the week with consecutive limited sessions. Those will be enough for the veteran wideout to take the field against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. Skowronek has seen most of his work on special teams of late, as he has logged just 13 offensive snaps as opposed to 29 special-teams snaps over the past two weeks.

Austin (calf) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Miami.

Austin was added to the injury report Friday, when he logged a limited practice session due to a calf issue. However, he was able to return to full participation Saturday and is clear to play on Monday Night Football. Austin has seen his offensive snap count trending down in recent weeks -- he hasn't been above 50 percent since Week 10 against the Chargers -- but he still figures to have a tangible role in the passing game while also working as Pittsburgh's primary punt returner.

Holiday was cut from Seattle's practice squad Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Holiday has spent the season on both the Chiefs' and Seahawks' practice squads. He has yet to appear in a game.

The Giants signed Cambre to their active roster from the practice squad Saturday. Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Cambre had already been elevated the maximum three times, so he was unable to appear in another game without being signed to the active roster. The 24-year-old hasn't recorded any catches this season and should continue to see the majority of his playing time on special teams.

The Broncos elevated Bandy from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Packers, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Bandy could make his third appearance of the season and would provide additional depth at receiver due to Pat Bryant (hamstring) being sidelined. Bandy has caught just one pass for 16 yards, and this marks the final time the team can elevate him.

Watson (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Cardinals.

Watson wasn't activated off injured reserve and will now be forced to miss another game. The Texans opened his 21-day practice window Wednesday, but the 29-year-old will have to wait at least another week to make his return.

The Saints elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Austin has bounced back and forth between the Saints' practice squad and active roster this season, and this will be his second straight practice-squad elevation. The 25-year-old tallied two offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps during last week's win over Tampa Bay, and it's unlikely he'll see much action while once again operating as the fifth wideout behind Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, Mason Tipton and Dante Pettis. Austin has logged just one target across four appearances this season. He is eligible to be elevated from New Orleans' practice squad to the active roster one more time for the remainder of this season.

The 49ers placed Aiyuk (knee) on the reserve/left squad list Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

The move means Aiyuk will not return for the rest of the season and will likely not be a part of the 49ers' plans from 2026 and beyond. Aiyuk has been recovering from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee that he sustained during the 2024 campaign, and it's unclear whether the 49ers will look to trade the 2020 first-rounder during the offseason or cut him from the roster outright.

Sherfield was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Sherfield will be on the active roster for the second game in a row after he was called up for last week's loss to the Rams, when he tallied one target across nine offensive snaps. The 29-year-old should once again serve as Arizona's fourth wideout behind Michael Wilson, Andre Baccellia and fellow practice-squad elevation Jalen Brooks. Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) will both remain sidelined. Sherfield will be eligible for one more practice-squad elevation with the Cardinals this season.

The Cardinals elevated Brooks from the practice squad Saturday.

This is the second straight practice-squad elevation for Brooks. The 25-year-old logged two catches (on three targets) for 32 yards to go along with three kickoff returns for 66 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Rams. With Greg Dortch (chest) on IR and both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) ruled out again, Brooks will once again serve as the Cardinals' No. 4 wideout versus Houston on Sunday.
