Watson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Initially slated to miss multiple games due to what was reported to be a high left-ankle sprain, Watson will miss only one contest as a result. Because he was limited in practice Wednesday through Friday, he may not be able to handle his typical workload, which was at least 54 percent of snaps in each of the first three weeks of the campaign. If he's not at full health, Watson likely will cede snaps to the likes of Dontayvion Wicks, Malik Heath and Bo Melton behind Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs.

Pittman (back) remains listed as questionable but is expected to be active Sunday against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per Rapoport, Pittman is dealing with a back issue that initially was thought to be something that could sideline the wideout multiple weeks. However, after putting in a full practice Friday, Pittman is trending toward active status. The Colts will confirm his status when the team posts its inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Davis (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears in London.

Davis was a limited participant in practice all week due to the knee injury, but the Jaguars saw enough from the veteran wideout to sign off on him playing in the London game. With rookie first-round pick Brian Thomas already emerging as a top target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and with tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) making his return Sunday following a four-game absence, Davis could find himself fourth or fifth in the pecking order for looks in the Jaguars passing game behind some combination of Christian Kirk, Travis Etienne, Thomas and Engram.

Davis (knee) remains listed as questionable but is expected to suit up in London on Sunday for Jacksonville's game versus Chicago, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Davis is dealing with a knee injury that kept him limited in practice all week, but he looks to have demonstrated enough progress in his recovery for the Jaguars to feel comfortable having him play Sunday. He'll be officially cleared upon the release of the Jaguars' inactive list, which will be posted 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Davis is likely to function as Jacksonville's No. 3 receiver, a role that has led to a modest 12-159-0 receiving line through five weeks on the campaign.

Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Ford-Wheaton has been active for all five of the Giants' games this season, though he has played only two total offensive snaps. He managed a limited practice Friday, so it's possible that he'll be able to return in Week 7.

Hodgins was elevated to the Giants' active roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Hodgins has spent most of the season on the Giants' practice squad, but he'll be elevated to the active roster for the second consecutive week due to Malik Nabers (concussion) being sidelined. Hodgins played 24 offensive snaps in Week 5 but did not earn a target.

Wilkerson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Wilkerson made a pair of appearances with the Raiders in 2023 but has yet to be active on game day in 2024. With Jakobi Meyers (ankle) officially listed as doubtful, Wilkerson has a chance to change that in Week 6.

Bachman was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Bachman has now been elevated to the active roster for three consecutive weeks. He played only one offensive snap on the first two occasions, though he could be slightly more involved, as Davante Adams (hamstring) is out and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful.

Adams (hamstring) could remain with the Raiders this season, despite recent trade discussions involving the star wideout, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter describes Adams' situation as "fluid and unpredictable" while pointing out that the wideout's trade outlook "seems to change weekly." Among the factors that may play into the likelihood of Adams being traded is his current hamstring injury, which will keep him out of action for a third straight game Sunday against the Steelers, as well as Las Vegas' reported asking price of at least a second-draft pick. Additionally, Las Vegas has expressed a reluctance to pay any of the $72.5 million remaining on Adams' contract, which runs through the 2026 season. Adams' potential to upgrade another team's passing game is unquestioned -- he has four straight campaigns of over 1,100 receiving yards and at least eight touchdowns on his resume -- but it remains unclear whether an organization will be willing to meet the Raiders' high asking price. For his part, Adams seems to be receptive to returning to action for the Raiders once he's healthy if a trade isn't worked out. Schefter notes that the 31-year-old veteran is a big supporter of second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who was appointed to the starting role this week in place of the struggling Gardner Minshew.

Downs (toe) is listed as questionable but is likely to play in Sunday's contest against the Titans, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Downs missed the first two practices of the week due to the toe injury, but he was able to return to a full practice session Friday. Though he'll take a designation into Sunday, the expectation is that the wideout will be cleared when Indianapolis releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow wide receiver Michael Pittman (back) is also listed as questionable, but Holder relays that his chances of suiting up "seem good," and quarterback Anthony Richardson is also looking likely to play despite being listed as questionable after sitting out Week 5. It's worth noting, however, that Downs tallied only three catches for 22 yards with Richardson at the helm Week 3 versus Chicago, while he recorded a 17-151-1 line between the previous two games with Joe Flacco under center for most of Week 4 and all of Week 5. Flacco is likely to return to a backup role Sunday if Richardson is active.
