Douglas (ankle), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Douglas logged limited practices throughout the week, suggesting he's in a good position to play. However, his status will not become official until shortly before the team's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Douglas is active, he should command plenty of targets, with both Kendrick Bourne (knee) and DeVante Parker (concussion) sidelined.

The Bengals are hopeful that Chase (back) will be able to play Sunday against Houston, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Chase has dealt with a back bruise throughout the week after landing hard in a victory over the Bills in Week 9. He concluded the week with two limited practices but will go through pre-game workouts before his availability is decided. Chase is officially listed as questionable and his status will become official roughly 90 minutes before the team's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Darby was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the Falcons on Saturday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

The depth wide receiver seems to be replacing Mack Hollins, who is out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals with an ankle injury, per Bair. Darby, a 2021 sixth-round pick, has yet to appear in a game this season. Darby recorded two catches for 29 yards and no touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons.

Snead was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the 49ers on Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Snead has appeared in two games this season since being released by the 49ers on Aug. 29 and then signing with the team's practice squad Sept. 1. The ninth-year pro has one catch for nine yards on eight snaps in 2023.

Taylor was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the Jets on Saturday.

The wide receiver was also elevated for the team's Week 9 game against the Chargers. Over two appearances this season, Taylor has one catch for seven yards on two targets.

Turner was elevated off the practice squad by the Raiders on Saturday.

The wide receiver signed with Las Vegas' practice squad Oct. 16 and now has been elevated from it for three weeks in a row. The second-year pro has played in 11 games and 24 offensive snaps over two NFL seasons. Turner has yet to record a catch in the league.

The Seahawks activated Young (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Young was placed on IR on Sept. 4 after he sustained a groin injury during training camp and underwent surgery. He was able to get some full practice sessions in leading up to Sunday's game against the Commanders and is set to suit up for the contest. Young should provide depth at wide receiver behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Jefferson (hamstring) wasn't activated from injured reserve Saturday and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell tipped his hand about Jefferson's status earlier this week, when he suggested it would be "a little aggressive" for the receiver to play Week 10 when first eligible to return from IR. Though Jefferson was able to practice in a limited fashion this week and had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend, he'll ultimately miss his fifth consecutive game. Jordan Addison and Brandon Powell will likely play prominent roles Sunday, especially if wideout K.J. Osborn (concussion) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) are unable to suit up. Jefferson's next chance to play will come Week 11 against the Broncos on Nov. 19.

Diggs (back) wasn't listed on the team's final Week 10 injury report Saturday and is cleared for Monday's contest against the Broncos.

Diggs was added to Friday's injury report with a back injury, but fantasy managers can breathe easier now that the star wideout doesn't carry a designation into Monday's contest. For what it's worth, Diggs was listed as a limited participant in practice for a second consecutive day, so while he'll play, the 29-year-old receiver does appear to be dealing with a legitimate injury. Diggs seemed to dismiss the idea that his injury was anything serious, however, per joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Expect Diggs to see his usual workload in a potential juicy matchup against an up-and-down Denver defense.

Jones (thumb) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Texans, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Bengals designated Jones to return from IR on Wednesday. Although the team will be without Tee Higgins, (hamstring) plus Ja'Marr Chase (back) is listed as questionable, Jones will wait at least another week before making his return. Cincinnati called up wide receivers Shed Jackson and Stanley Morgan from the practice squad Saturday.
