NFL Player News

Boyd (back) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Boyd was added to the injury report Saturday due to the back issue, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up for Week 11. The 30-year-old wasn't targeted over the previous two games while playing through a shoulder injury, but he's now past that issue and is expected to be more involved in the offense, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. Even if that's the case, Boyd has limited fantasy upside, as he caught just 21 passes for 184 yards and no touchdowns in the first seven games of the season.

Tipton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Despite the Saints having three wide receivers on injured reserve and five on the active roster, Tipton will remain in street clothes Sunday while Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Cedrick Wilson, Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis will man the position. Tipton's next chance for game action will come after a Week 12 bye on Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Rams.

Osborn is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

With Osborn a healthy scratch Sunday, the Patriots' Week 11 wideout corps will be comprised of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk, Kendrick Bourne and Javon Baker.

Adams (illness/wrist) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Adams -- who had been listed as questionable for the contest -- missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday but logged a full session to close the week, with interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich noting Friday he expected the wideout to play Sunday, per Rich Cimini of ESPN. With his Week 11 availability confirmed, Adams is in line to continue to function as a key pass catcher for QB Aaron Rodgers opposite Garrett Wilson (who is averaging 10 targets a game), an arrangement that so far has resulted in Adams recording a 20/206/1 receiving line on 39 targets in four contests since arriving in a trade with the Raiders.

Wilson (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Browns.

Wilson has missed two of the last three games, first due to a hip injury and then a shoulder issue, but after being listed as limited on all three Week 11 practice reports, he'll be back in action Sunday. The Saints currently have three wide receivers -- Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) -- on injured reserve, and Mason Tipton is a healthy scratch, so Wilson will be vying with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the elevated Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis for snaps. In his last three appearances, Wilson has accrued a 10-119-1 line on 13 targets.

Cooper (wrist), who is listed as questionable, is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cooper, who was listed as a limited practice participant this past week, has been working with a soft cast on his wrist. If he is able to suit up versus Kansas City, Cooper could still be limited in some capacity. Either way, the wideout's status is worth verifying when the Bills' inactive list is posted 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Titans are reportedly optimistic about Boyd (back) playing Sunday against the Vikings, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.

Boyd was added to the Titans' Week 11 injury report Saturday due to a back issue, but it appears as though the wideout will be available versus Minnesota. Either way, official confirmation of Boyd's status is slated arrive once the Titans' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. Overall, Boyd has compiled a 21/184/0 receiving line on 30 targets in nine games, but he's coming off back-to-back zero-catch outings.

Adams (illness/wrist), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, remains in line to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich previously relayed after Friday's practice that Adams was expected to play Sunday, so Rapoport's report adds to wideout's positive outlook. However, fantasy managers planning on deploying Adams in Week 11 lineups will still want to confirm approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff that the star receiver is in fact active for the contest.

The Jaguars elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Jones started the regular season on the Bears' active roster, but outside of Week 1, he was a healthy scratch before being waived Oct. 25. The 2022 third-round pick signed with Jacksonville's practice squad four days later, and he'll likely make his Jaguars debut against the Lions on Sunday.

New Orleans elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

It's the second straight week that Austin has been elevated from the practice squad. He played 29 snaps (25 on offense, four on special teams) in Week 10 against Atlanta, during which he caught both of his targets for 36 yards. Austin could see similar usage against the Browns on Sunday if Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) is unable to play.
