Kevin Austin Jr. WR | NO
Saints' Kevin Austin: Back to practice squad
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Austin played a season-high 38 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Panthers, catching three of five targets for 33 yards. With Devaughn Vele going down with a shoulder injury against Carolina, Austin could be in line for an elevated Week 16 role against the Jets.

Adrian Martinez QB | SF
Adrian Martinez: Returns to practice squad
Martinez reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.
Martinez was elevated from the practice squad for Week 15 and served as the backup to starting quarterback Brady Cook in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars while Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) were unavailable. Martinez can still be elevated two more times this season.

Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Suffers ankle injury
Gordon is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Steelers after suffering an ankle injury in the second quarter.
Gordon was hurt on his second carry of the game as he was hit hard in the backfield. He managed to limp off the field with the help of trainers, though there aren't further details at this time.

Shedrick Jackson WR | LV
Shedrick Jackson: Moves back to practice squad
Jackson reverted to Las Vegas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jackson was elevated this weekend ahead of Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia. He logged four offensive snaps and one snap on special teams in the loss without producing any output. Since he's already been elevated three times, Jackson would need to be signed to the active roster to be active on gameday for the Raiders again this season.

Velus Jones Jr. WR | SEA
Velus Jones: Reverts to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Jones was elevated for the third game in a row ahead of Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts, failing to record any stats while playing one offensive snap and 20 snaps on special teams. The running back will now need to be officially signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game this season.

Coleman Owen WR | IND
Coleman Owen: Back to practice squad
Owen reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Owen was brought up from the practice squad Saturday to provide depth at wide receiver in the absence of Anthony Gould (foot). Owen ended up playing solely on special teams and returned one punt for two yards and two kickoffs for 52 yards. The undrafted rookie is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad twice more this season.

Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU
Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Back with practice squad
Jordan reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.
Jordan was elevated for Week 15 and made his NFL debut in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. Though he wasn't expected to take on a prominent role Sunday, Jordan ended up seeing ample work with Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest and with Woody Marks missing the entire second half with an ankle injury. Jordan turned 15 carries into 101 yards while reeling in both of his targets for 17 yards in the team's win. He notably played 28 of the team's 67 offensive snaps, seven more than backup Dare Ogunbowale (21). If both Chubb and Marks are sidelined Week 16, Jordan will likely operate as the team's lead option on the ground this coming Sunday against the Raiders.

Pierre Strong Jr. RB | GB
Pierre Strong: Returns to practice squad
Strong reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Strong was brought up to the Packers' active roster Saturday to give the team additional depth in the backfield. However, he ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's loss to the Broncos after Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) were cleared to play. Strong hasn't played a single regular-season snap despite being elevated from the practice squad three times, and he won't be allowed to play for Green Bay for the rest of 2025 unless he's signed to the active roster.

Michael Bandy WR | DEN
Michael Bandy: Returns to practice squad
Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday.
Bandy was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers, reeling in his only target for a 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter while playing two offensive snaps in the contest. The wide receiver was helping fill in for Pat Bryant (hamstring) in Week 15, but he was still a relative afterthought as Courtland Sutton (60), Lil'Jordan Humphrey (46), Troy Franklin (34) and Marvin Mims (21) logged more snaps on offense. Bandy will now need to be officially signed to the active roster to appear in another contest with Denver this season.

Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN
Sam Ehlinger: Reverts to practice squad
Ehlinger reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Ehlinger was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad Saturday. He was a healthy inactive during Denver's 34-26 win over Green Bay on Sunday, during which starter Bo Nix played every single offensive snap while Jarrett Stidham served as the backup. Ehlinger is eligible to be elevated to the active roster twice more during the regular season.
