  • Dylan Drummond WR | ATL

    Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Bumped up to roster for Week 12

    The Falcons elevated Drummond from their practice squad Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Drummond's presence is needed due to Drake London (knee) being ruled out for Week 12. Drummond will likely serve in a depth wideout role Sunday, as he did after his previous two elevations this season, when he tallied seven total offensive snaps without seeing any targets across Weeks 8 and 9. Since Drummond has now been elevated three times, Atlanta would need to sign him to the active roster in order for the Eastern Michigan product to play again for the team during the regular season beyond Week 12.

  • Rams' Brennan Presley: Elevated for Week 12

    The Rams elevated Presley from their practice squad Saturday.

    Presley signed with Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in late April and had a strong preseason, but he was ultimately left off the team's initial 53-man roster. The Oklahoma State product subsequently signed with the Rams' practice squad, and he's getting his first elevation in Week 12. Whether Presley sees any snaps on offense could depend on whether Xavier Smith (concussion) is able to play.

  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Lands on injured reserve

    The Seahawks placed Horton (groin/shin) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Horton was set to miss a third consecutive game due to shin and groin injuries. His placement on injured reserve means he'll be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 16 against the Rams on Thursday, Dec. 18 the earliest he can be activated from IR. Horton's extended absence means Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Jake Bobo and Cody White are all slated for more work on offense behind WR1 Jaxon Smith-Njigba, while Shaheed should continue to operate as the Seahawks' primary punt returner.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Brandin Cooks: Let go by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Cooks (personal) on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The two sides mutually agreed to part ways earlier this week, and Saturday's transaction makes that official. The veteran wideout will hit the waiver wire, and he could garner interest from teams looking to add another pass-catching option for the rest of the 2025 campaign. Through 10 regular-season games with New Orleans, Cooks caught 19 passes (on 25 targets) for 165 yards.

  • Titans' Xavier Restrepo: Elevated from practice squad

    The Titans elevated Restrepo from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Restrepo is slated to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Seahawks on Sunday. Given his college connection with quarterback Cam Ward, coupled with the absences of Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (fibula - IR), Restrepo could see some snaps on offense right off the bat, though it would likely be in a rotational role behind the likes of Chimere Dike, Van Jefferson, Mason Kinsey and James Proche.

  • Titans' Xavier Restrepo: Slated to make NFL debut Week 12

    The Titans are expected to elevate Restrepo off the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    With Calvin Ridley (fibula - IR) sidelined for the rest of the season and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) ruled out for Week 12, the Titans will add depth to their wide receiver corps by calling up Restrepo from the practice squad. Restrepo signed with the Titans in late April as an undrafted free agent, and he could be involved in the offense immediately due to his college connection with Cam Ward. Restrepo caught 69 passes for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games during his final season in Miami with Ward as the starting QB.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Expected to return Week 12

    Godwin (fibula) is expected to be play in Sunday night's game against the Rams, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

    Godwin drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after posting an LP-FP-LP practice log during Week 12 prep, but the veteran wide receiver is on track to return from a five-game absence due to a fibula injury. It's unclear whether he will operate on a snap count Sunday, but his return would mean less targets to go around for Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard and Cade Otton. Godwin has appeared in just two regular-season games in 2025, recording six catches (on 14 targets) for 52 yards.

  • Xavier Smith WR | LAR

    Rams' Xavier Smith: Questionable for SNF

    Smith (concussion) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Bucs, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Smith was concussed in last Sunday's win over the Seahawks but was able to log a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday. However, Smith is still in the protocol. If Smith is unable to play Sunday night, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield would be next up for wideout snaps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

  • Steelers' Ke'Shawn Williams: Good to go for Week 12

    Williams (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Williams was concussed in last week's win over the Bengals but was able to gain clearance for Week 12. The wide receiver has logged just four offensive snaps this season but has played 48 on special teams across six appearances.

  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Deemed questionable for Week 12

    TeSlaa (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    TeSlaa was limited in all three practices this week as he continues to work through an oblique injury. The issue first popped up last weekend, and TeSlaa was still able to play Sunday versus Philadelphia, so there's reason to be optimistic that he'll suit up. Even if TeSlaa does play, he probably won't be heavily involved, as the rookie has seen more than one target just once through 10 games this season.
