The Cowboys activated Revel (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Now that the rookie third-rounder has been activated from IR, he is eligible to make his NFL debut against the Raiders on Monday. Revel was a limited participant in practice during Week 9 prep, and with additional rest courtesy of the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, he'll look to practice in full during the coming week. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered during his final collegiate season at East Carolina.

The Bills placed Jackson (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Jackson was injured during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. The nature of his injury isn't yet known publicly, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games. Jackson has appeared in three games this season, logging 30 defensive snaps and another 13 on special teams.

Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Jennings played just five offensive snaps before being forced out of a Week 10 win over the Buccaneers. Though he was active enough to be listed as limited on the injury report for the second day in a row, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com noted that Jennings was spotted working out on a side field during the media-access portion of Tuesday's session, making it unclear whether the running back actually mixed into drills. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was also listed as limited and was seen working out on the side, so the availability of both backs for Thursday's game against the Jets is uncertain. With Stevenson missing his second game in a row in Week 10 and Jennings exiting the contest early, rookie TreVeyon Henderson took full advantage as he amassed 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches to perhaps earn himself a larger role even after the New England backfield is back to full strength.

Boutte (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday.

According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, Boutte was spotted working out off to the side during the media-access portion of Tuesday's session, so it's unclear if he was able to mix into drills at some point. With the Patriots unlikely to hold anything more than a light walkthrough Wednesday, Boutte could have a tough time proving that the hamstring injury is behind him ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets. While the third-year wideout was sidelined in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, rookie Kyle Williams benefited from the biggest boost in playing time among New England wideouts and made the most of his two targets, taking his lone reception to the house for a 72-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

Herbert (groin) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Herbert has appeared in just two games this season, logging 17 snaps on special teams. He's far off the fantasy radar.

McDonald (quadriceps) was estimated as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.

McDonald was estimated as DNP on Monday, so it appears McDonald is tracking toward playing Thursday night against the Patriots. McDonald is coming off a monster Week 10 performance against the Browns, where he piled up five tackles (four solo), including 4.0 sacks, and five QB hits on 71 percent of the defensive snaps.

The Patriots listed Stevenson (toe) as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Though Stevenson went down as a limited participant for the second day in a row, it's unclear how extensively he mixed into drills with his teammates. According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, Stevenson and fellow running back Terrell Jennings (knee) were spotted working out off to the side during the portion of Tuesday's session that was open to the media. Given that Stevenson's toe injury has already kept him out for two games, he may be hard-pressed to gain clearance on a short week, and his snaps could be limited if he does suit up. TreVeyon Henderson (knee) turned in a full practice Tuesday and profiles as the preferred fantasy option among New England running backs for Week 11 after he accounted for 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Phillips (foot) was estimated as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report.

The Jets have held back-to-back walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday ahead of Thursday night's game against the Patriots. Phillips has appeared in all nine games this season, recording 25 tackles (10 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass breakup on 59 percent of the defensive snaps.

Henderson (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Estimated as a limited participant Monday on the Patriots' initial weekly practice report, Henderson took every rep in Tuesday's session to erase any concerns about his availability for Thursday's game against the Jets. The makeup of the New England backfield remains unclear, however, as Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were listed as limited participants for a second straight day and were spotted mostly working off to the side Tuesday, per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. The status of Stevenson in particular will bear watching, as a third straight absence could set the stage for another big performance from Henderson. The rookie second-round pick erupted for 147 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries against the Bucs in Week 10.

Jones (elbow) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Jones inked a three-year contract extension last week and looks ready to rock for Thursday night's game against the Jets after he was listed as limited Monday. Jones has appeared in all 10 games this season, recording 43 tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, nine pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one fumble recovery. Jones has also returned 15 punts for 234 yards and one touchdown.
