  • Dylan Drummond WR | ATL

    Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Reverts to practice squad

    Drummond reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Drummond was elevated from Atlanta's practice squad Saturday and played 15 offensive snaps during the Falcons' 24-10 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished that game with three catches on as many targets for 18 yards and returned the opening kickoff for 25 yards. Drummond has been elevated from the practice squad a maximum of three times this season, so he'll have to be signed to Atlanta's active roster in order to continue to play for the Falcons this season. That is a real possibility, given that Drake London (knee) is considered week-to-week due to a PCL sprain.

  • Chazz Surratt LB | SEA

    Seahawks' Chazz Surratt: Could be slated for IR stint

    Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that a stint on IR is a possibility for Surratt (ankle), Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Surratt was hurt Sunday against the Titans during a kickoff. Macdonald's comments suggest the injury is more than minor, though the head coach also stated placement on IR for Surratt and other Seahawks players "is really going to be a function of how some of these tests come back and how they progress throughout the rest of the week." Surratt has played almost exclusively on special teams this season, so any time he misses will primarily affect that unit.

  • Pierre Strong: Back to practice squad

    Strong reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Strong was elevated to the active roster for the second time this season ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, and he was active for the contest after the Packers ruled out Josh Jacobs (knee). Despite Jacobs' absence, Strong didn't up seeing the field during Sunday's win, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks handled all of the offensive snaps out of the backfield. Strong could be elevated to the active roster for a third and final time ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Lions if Jacobs is not cleared to play.

  • Tyrice Knight LB | SEA

    Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Set to return to practice Wednesday

    Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said Knight (concussion) is on track to return to practice Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Knight suffered a concussion Week 11 against the Rams and didn't play this past Sunday versus Tennessee. Macdonald's comments suggest Knight is showing improvement, but he'll need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he's able to suit up for game action. Knight's practice participation level this week should provide more insight into his chance of suiting up for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

  • Anthony Firkser: Back with practice squad

    Firkser reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Firkser was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-27 overtime win against the Giants, failing to record any stats while playing three snaps on offense and seven snaps with the special-teams unit. The tight end finished as a distant second option at his position with Brock Wright logging 60 snaps on offense, but he did finish ahead of Ross Dwelley (2). With Sam LaPorta (IR, back) likely sidelined for the rest of the regular season, Firkser should have another opportunity to be elevated in the near future.

  • Josh Metellus SAF | MIN

    Vikings' Josh Metellus: Highest tackle total of season

    Metellus recorded 12 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Packers.

    Metellus failed to play 100 percent of defensive snaps for the first time since Week 3, though that didn't impact his production. He logged a season high in tackles, also marking the second consecutive game that he's recorded double-digit stops.

  • Ty Okada SAF | SEA

    Seahawks' Ty Okada: Looking at extended absence

    Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Okada could be placed on injured reserve due to an oblique injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Okada injured his oblique during the first half of Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans, which prevented him from returning for the second. A stint on injured reserve would require Okada to miss at least four games, so if the move takes place before the Seahawks' Week 13 clash against the Vikings, he would be eligible to return in Week 17 against the Panthers on Saturday, Dec. 27. Okada has started in each of Seattle's last seven games, but the Seahawks could be getting reinforcements at safety this week as Julian Love (hamstring) is eligible to be activated off IR.

  • Bailey Zappe QB | CLE

    Bailey Zappe: Returns to practice squad

    Zappe reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Zappe was elevated to serve as the backup quarterback behind Shedeur Sanders in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders, failing to play in the game. With Dillon Gabriel clearing concussion protocol Monday, Zappe will likely have to wait for another chance to be active for a contest down the road this year.

  • Blake Cashman LB | MIN

    Vikings' Blake Cashman: Season-high 16 tackles

    Cashman recorded 16 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Packers.

    Cashman recorded double-digit stops for the fifth consecutive game and also logged his highest solo tackle total of the campaign. He has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in all six of his healthy games this season and should remain one of the more consistent IDP contributors at linebacker for the rest of the campaign.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Candidate for injured reserve

    Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Holani (hamstring) could be placed on injured reserve, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Holani was forced to leave during the first half of Sunday's game against the Titans due to a hamstring injury, which prevented him from returning. The injury appears to be severe enough to warrant an extended absence, and he could be placed on injured reserve ahead of the Seahawks' Week 13 clash against the Vikings. With Kenny McIntosh (knee, IR) done for the year, Seattle may call up Velus Jones from the practice squad to serve as the RB3 behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet moving forward.
