Ridley caught seven of eight targets for 122 yards and carried twice for 14 yards during Sunday's 25-20 win against the Bills.

The 28-year-old tied for the team lead in targets and led Jacksonville in both receptions and receiving yards as Trevor Lawrence passed for more than 300 yards for the first time this season. Ridley topped 100 receiving yards in the season opener but totaled just 110 yards over the subsequent three games, and his resurgence in production Sunday is a welcome sight after a few quiet performances.

Douglas exited Sunday's game against the Saints with a head injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to being forced out of the contest, Douglas caught one of his two targets for 24 yards. In his absence, DeVante Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne are available to handle the Patriots' Week 5 WR duties.

Olszewski is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

The 26-year-old will suit up for the second time this year, and he'll likely be Pittsburgh's main kick returner this Sunday. Olszewski returned one kick for no yards during his only appearance this season.

Jones sustained a knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bills in London and is questionable to return.

Jones had been listed as questionable heading into the day with a knee issue that had sidelined him for Jacksonville's previous two games, but it's unclear if his departure Sunday is an aggravation of the prior health concern or if he's dealing with a new injury. Either way, Jones will presumably be evaluated in the locker room before the Jaguars determine whether he's fit to return to the game for the fourth quarter. He recorded three catches for 23 yards and a touchdown prior to his exit.

Metchie (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

The 23-year-old was labeled questionable for Week 5 due to an illness, but it's not a surprise he's suiting up Sunday after he put in a full practice Friday. Metchie has just four catches for 52 yards in three games this season and is likely to operate as Houston's No. 4 wideout in Atlanta with Nico Collins, Robert Woods and Tank Dell all available.

Reynolds (groin) is active for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

After a week in which he logged a pair of capped practices due to a groin injury, Reynolds will be available to the Lions offense Sunday and may even serve as the top target for quarterback Jared Goff with Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) sidelined. Reynolds is welcoming second-year pro Jameson Williams to the lineup for the first time this season after the latter served a four-game gambling suspension. Having said that, Williams is slated to have a limited role off the bat, so Reynolds should have easy access to targets while working with TE Sam LaPorta and WRs Kalif Raymond and Marvin Jones.

Williams (non-injury) is listed as active Sunday versus the Panthers.

With a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy behind him, Williams will be available to the Lions offense for the first time this season. On its face, the situation would seem to be a positive one for the second-year pro with top wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) sidelined. However, coach Dan Campbell mentioned earlier in the week that Williams would be eased into action, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that Williams was slated for a limited role. Thus, it'll be difficult to trust Williams to produce Sunday, even with St. Brown out.

Claypool (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Miami acquired Claypool on Friday, giving him minimal time to learn the playbook. Given that, it comes as little surprise that he won't suit up for his new squad just two days later. His next chance to play will come in Week 6 against Carolina.

Beckham (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Beckham, who didn't practice at all before being sidelined in Weeks 3 and 4, was able to work Wednesday through Friday this week -- albeit in a limited fashion -- and he'll be back in action Sunday, as will fellow WR Rashod Bateman (hamstring), who missed last weekend's contest against the Browns. With that, QB Lamar Jackson will have his top three wideouts (Beckham, Zay Flowers and Bateman) available for the first time since Week 2. In the two contests that he has played in this season, Beckham has caught five of his seven targets for 66 yards.

St. Brown (abdomen) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Panthers.

After a week in which he was sidelined at practice due to an abdominal injury, St. Brown will miss his first game since Week 4 of last year and just the second game of his two-plus campaigns in the NFL. With St. Brown out, the Lions' receiving corps will be paced by WR Josh Reynolds (groin) and TE Sam LaPorta, though Jameson Williams will be making his season debut alongside those two and the likes of fellow WRs Kalif Raymond and Marvin Jones.
