Osborn (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Osborn, who was unable to practice this week, was listed as questionable ahead of the contest, and he'll now target a return to action Oct. 13 against the Texans. In his absence Ja'Lynn Polk, DeMario Douglas and Kendrick Bourne -- who was activated from the PUP list Saturday -- figure to lead the Patriots' Week 5 WR corps, with Tyquan Thornton and Kayshon Boutte also available versus Miami.

Carter (ribs) is active Sunday against the Panthers.

Carter opened Week 5 as a DNP, but he returned to close out the week with limited sessions, paving the way for him to take the field. He'll handle return duties for the Bears against Carolina, with likely limited opportunities on offense.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Walker is a rookie fourth-round pick, but he's yet to make his NFL regular-season debut. Deonte Harty (knee) is also inactive, so Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace are the Ravens' only active wideouts versus Cincinnati.

Woods (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Woods didn't practice Thursday, but after returning to a limited session field Friday, he approached the contest listed as questionable. Now that his active status has been confirmed, Woods -- who has caught three of five targets in four games to date for 28 yards -- is slated to return to a complementary role in Houston's offense, with Tank Dell (chest) back in action after a one-game absence and set to reclaim his key role alongside fellow WRs Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs.

Harty (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Despite being a full participant, Harty landed on the injury report Friday and was questionable due to a knee issue. Harty has played only six offensive snaps this season, but in his absence, Justice Hill and Tylan Wallace will likely have increased opportunities in the return games.

Beckham (knee) is listed as active Sunday at New England.

Beckham joined the Dolphins on May 3, but his debut with the team was delayed to start the season as he continued his recovery from an offseason procedure. The specific body part was clarified to be his knee once the team designated him for return this past week, and he proceeded to put together three straight full practices before the team listed him as questionable for Week 5 action. Miami officially activated Beckham from the reserve/PUP list Saturday and now has cleared him outright one day later upon posting its list of inactives. The Dolphins' passing game doesn't hold much promise with Tyler Huntley and not Tua Tagovailoa (IR, concussion) under center, and Beckham also will have to contend for looks with the team's top WR duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, so he may take some time to make an impact.

Jackson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

With Jordan Addison returning to the lineup for the Vikings' Week 4 win over the Packers after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury, Jackson has found himself as the odd man out of the Minnesota receiving corps. The fifth-year wideout is inactive for the second week in a row after he played just 10 total snaps on offense in the two games that Addison missed.

Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

The rookie third-round pick out of Western Kentucky had been active for each of the Jets' first four games, but he played just three total snaps (two on offense, one on special teams) in Weeks 1 through 3, and he didn't see the field at all in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos. Corley will now find himself on the inactive list for the first time all season while the Jets have five wide receivers suit up ahead of him.

Kupp (ankle) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Packers, but the Rams are hopeful that the wide receiver will be ready to return to the lineup following their Week 6 bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Since suffering a left high-ankle sprain in the Rams' Sept. 15 loss to the Cardinals, Kupp hasn't practiced in any capacity and is set to miss a third consecutive game Sunday. The Rams are apparently optimistic that Kupp will be able to resume on-field work coming out of the bye week, however, and if he experiences no setbacks during Week 7 prep, the expectation is that he'll suit up for the team's Oct. 20 game against the Raiders. With Kupp and Puka Nacua (knee) both out of the lineup, the Rams have handed more opportunities to Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson, but no members of the group have emerged as a consistent No. 1 target for quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Woods (foot) is in line to suit up in Sunday's Week 5 contest versus Buffalo, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Woods popped up on the injury report this week due to a foot injury. He didn't practice Thursday but was able to participate in a limited fashion Friday, which looks to have been enough for him to take the field Sunday. Woods isn't likely to see extensive opportunities since Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell are all healthy and ahead of him in the receiver pecking order.
