Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Denver, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Johnson ended the week with back-to-back DNPs, and he will shift his focus to being available for Week 4 against the Eagles. Sterling Shepard was elevated from the practice squad and will provide depth for the Bucs' wide receiver corps Sunday.

The Eagles elevated Campbell from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Campbell played 22 snaps on offense but did not register a target during the Eagles' 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2. He'll serve as a rotational wide receiver again for Week 3 against the Saints after A.J. Brown (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game.

Humphrey signed a contract with the Broncos on Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Humphrey was out of practice-squad elevations, so this move isn't entirely surprising. The long-time Bronco put together a solid performance in Week 2, tallying 50 receiving yards despite a dismal display overall by the offense. It's unlikely those same opportunities will be available in Week 3 as Devaughn Vele is cleared to play after missing the previous week due to a ribs injury.

Detroit elevated Patrick from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Patrick was elevated for the Lions' Week 2 game against the Buccaneers, during which he played 32 snaps on offense and caught two passes (on four targets) for 12 yards. The Lions will be able to elevate Patrick one more time following Sunday's game against the Cardinals, after which they would have to sign the 30-year-old wide receiver to the active roster should they wish for him to continue to play in Detroit.

The Lions elevated Robinson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Robinson wasn't able to secure a spot on the Lions' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 2014 second-round pick opted to stick around on Detroit's practice squad. He played 17 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023 and finished with 34 catches (on 49 targets) for 280 yards.

The Dolphins elevated Ezukanma from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Ezukanma had been dealing with a foot injury this week, but it doesn't appear to be a concern and he'll be available to suit up for the Dolphins' Week 3 game against the Seahawks on Sunday. Ezukanma has appeared in three regular-season games for the Dolphins since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Dolphins elevated Eskridge from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Eskridge and fellow practice squad wideout Erik Ezukanma will both be elevated due to Grant DuBose (shoulder) being placed on IR and rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington (shoulder) being listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Seattle. Eskridge has a chance to suit up against the Seahawks, who selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Dolphins placed DuBose on injured reserve Saturday due to a shoulder injury.

DuBose popped up on the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday with a shoulder injury, and he was unable to practice Thursday and Friday. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but his move to IR will force him to sit out for at least the next four games. The earliest DuBose will be able to return will be Week 8 against the Cardinals on Oct. 27. Both Dee Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, and one of them could be signed to the active roster for as long as DuBose is sidelined.

The Buccaneers elevated Shepard from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

After spending the first eight years of his NFL career with the Giants, Shepard signed with the Buccaneers in June. While he wasn't able to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, the 2016 second-round pick opted to stick around in Tampa Bay on the practice squad. With Kameron Johnson (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Shepard's elevation to the active roster will provide depth in the Bucs' wide receiver corps behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer.

The Bears elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Johnson was elevated for the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Texans, during which he played seven snaps (one on offense, six on special teams). If he's active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Johnson will likely be limited primarily to special teams even with veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) ruled out for a second straight week.
