Allen (heel) is active for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Rams.

The veteran wideout was able to work back to a full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, and his Week 4 return now is official. Allen will be taking the field for the first time since Week 1, when he provided a 4-29-0 line on 11 targets. With Allen back in the fold Sunday, rookie first-round pick Rome Odunze, who's coming off a career-best 6-112-1 line against the Colts in Week 3, is expected to slide back into a No. 3 receiver role versus Los Angeles.

Olave (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

Olave suffered a hamstring injury at Friday's practice, going down as a limited participant and earning a questionable tag for Week 4. While insiders like Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported this weekend that the wide receiver was expected to suit up Sunday, Olave's status ultimately came down to a pregame warmup, when he was seen donning a sleeve on his right leg, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. Now that Olave is confirmed to be available, he'll look to keep his recent momentum going after combining for a 10-167-1 line on 12 targets the last two contests.

Davis (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

After being deemed day-to-day by coach Doug Pederson on Wednesday, Davis subsequently logged three straight limited practices before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his Week 4 availability confirmed, Davis is slated to maintain his role in Jacksonville's offense alongside fellow starting WRs Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas, barring any setbacks or in-game limitations. Through three contests to date, Davis has parlayed his 16 targets in that span into a 8/123/0 receiving line.

Chark (hip) is on track to return to practice this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Chark is currently on IR, but it looks like his 21-day practice window will open up shortly. Once the wideout is back up to speed, he'll have a chance to reclaim a key role in a Chargers' WR corps that's currently led by Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey.

Bourne (knee) is expected to have his practice window opened this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bourne, who is on the PUP list, continues to progress in his recovery from an ACL tear he sustained last October. Assuming he does return to practice this coming week, it remains to be seen how long it will be before he's ready for game action, but barring any setbacks, Bourne will eventually have an opportunity to reclaim a key role in a New England wideout corps currently led by DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk.

Beckham, who is bouncing back from an unspecified offseason procedure, is on track to have his 21-day practice window opened this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

That said, while Beckham (who is on the PUP list) appears to be trending toward a return to practice, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero notes that things remain fluid in terms of the wideout's status and his return timeline has yet to be determined. Once he's deemed ready to rejoin Miami's lineup, Beckham will have an opportunity to claim a key complementary role behind top WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Olave (hamstring) is slated to test things out in warmups, but Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that the Saints are "confident" the wideout will be able to face the Falcons on Sunday.

Olave -- who is officially listed as questionable -- was added to the Saints' Week 4 injury report after suffering a hamstring injury during Friday's practice. However, it appears as though he's trending toward being available for Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, barring any pre-game setbacks.

Olave (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Olave was previously reported to be a game-time decision as he works his way through a hamstring injury he suffered at practice Friday. He now appears set to play, but his status will likely be made official following the team's warmups prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff against the Falcons.

Davis (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Houston, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Davis was limited at practice throughout the week with a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 3 against the Bills, but he now appears set to play against Houston. The wide receiver will likely participate in the team's pregame workouts prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and afterward an official decision will be made on his availability.

Johnson (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Johnson returned to practice Friday after missing Thursday's session with a groin injury and now appears to be on track to suit up against Cincinnati. The wide receiver caught eight of 14 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 versus the Raiders, and he'll likely remain busy against the Bengals.
