49ers' Robert Beal: Inactive for Week 12
Beal (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Beal was unable to practice during Week 12 prep while in the league's concussion protocol, which he wasn't able to clear ahead of Monday's contest. The third-year defensive lineman will aim to return to practice in the hopes that he can play against the Browns on Sunday.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: No timeline for return, per Gannon
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Harrison (appendix) doesn't have a timetable for a return to action, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. "When he's physically and mentally healthy to play, he'll play," Gannon noted.
Harrison has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy between Weeks 10 and 11, a span in which fellow WR Michael Wilson has broken out with a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets and even Greg Dortch has produced a 12-119-2 line on 15 targets. As for Harrison, he's in the midst of a multi-week recovery, and Gannon's comments seem to indicate the second-year pro isn't a candidate to retake the field Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Luke Gifford LB | SF
49ers' Luke Gifford: Cleared to play Monday
Gifford (hip/neck) is active for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Gifford had his practice reps limited during Week 12 prep due to hip and neck injuries, but the seventh-year pro has been cleared to play in Monday's game. He has split his snaps between defense and special teams this season, but he could have a more prominent role on defense Monday due to the absences of Tatum Bethune (ankle) and Fred Warner (ankle - IR). Gifford has accumulated 28 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense through 11 regular-season games.

Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Sitting out Week 12
Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the 49ers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.
Renfrow will once again be healthy scratch in Week 12, marking the sixth consecutive contest that that's been the case. The wide receiver appears to be more valuable from a leadership perspective with Carolina than he is for on the field production in 2025.

Jordan James RB | SF
49ers' Jordan James: Won't play Week 12
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
The rookie fifth-rounder has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut, with all of his missed games coming as a healthy scratch. James' next opportunity to make his debut is Sunday against Cleveland, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson or Isaac Guerendo were to miss time.

49ers' Jordan Watkins: Won't play vs. Carolina
Watkins (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
The rookie fourth-rounder will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive game, with his absence coinciding with the return of Ricky Pearsall in Week 11. Watkins' next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Browns, though he's unlikely to suit up unless Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson, Kendrick Bourne or Skyy Moore were to miss time.

Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: DNP on Monday's practice estimate
Turpin was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury and an illness, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Turpin earned his highest snap share (46 percent) since Week 4 during Sunday's win versus the Eagles, and he produced one catch (on two targets) for 48 yards and two carries for four yards. The reception marked his longest of the campaign, but he now is tending two a pair of health concerns ahead of Thursday's contest against the Chiefs. Wednesday's injury report will unveil whether or not Turpin has a designation for Week 13 action.

James Proche WR | TEN
Titans' James Proche: First catches of 2025
Proche recorded three catches on three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks.
Proche was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game and was active for his third contest of the season. He made his first catches of the 2025 season, highlighted by two third-down conversions on gains of 23 and 12 yards. Proche will likely remain active moving forward, though his role may diminish if Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) can return to the field.
