Cooks (wrist), officially listed as questionable, is likely to suit up Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cooks was absent from Houston's Week 9 game against the Eagles due to personal reasons stemming from his frustrations over not being traded. However, he returned to the team in preparation for its Week 10 matchup and closed the week with a pair of limited practices. Schefter also reports that Cooks traveled with the team, seemingly putting him in a good position to play Sunday. His status will become official shortly before the team's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Beckham (knee) is hoping to narrow the list of teams he is considering and ultimately sign a contract by the end of November, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Beckham has been linked to the Cowboys, Bills, Chiefs, Giants and 49ers, though it's unclear how many of those teams are serious contenders to sign him. While previous reports have suggested that Beckham would like to play by early December, he'd likely need to sign earlier than this report suggests to reach that goal. Either way, Beckham appears to have interest primarily from teams in playoff contention, so he could play a significant role in any postseason run.

Detroit elevated Berryhill from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Bears.

It will be the third consecutive week Berryhill is active for the Lions and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be added to the team's 53-man roster in order to suit up. He's played just one offensive snap through two weeks.

Burks (foot/toe) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks missed the minimum four games after suffering a turf toe injury back in Week 4. The rookie receiver had just 16 targets through the first four games of his career, but the Titans' passing offense has struggled mightily in recent weeks and could rely on Burks' big-play capabilities to turn things around.

Pringle (calf) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Pringle hasn't played since Week 3 and rejoins a resurgent Bears offense led by the dual-threat capabilities of quarterback Justin Fields. Pringle's return could cut into the snaps of Equanimeous St. Brown, who had played at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps in all but two of the last five weeks.

Dulin (foot) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Dulin wound up missing the minimum four games after injuring his foot back in Week 5. The veteran receiver had a combined four receptions in the three weeks prior to the injury and likely will return to a receiving corps that's more developed with the emergence of Alec Pierce and Parris Campbell.

Shenault caught three of four targets for 17 yards and rushed twice for 42 yards and a touchdown in Thursday night's 25-15 win over the Falcons.

Shenault took a lateral 41 yards to the house for the first touchdown of the game. He ultimately played nearly 40 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, marking a big increase from Week 9 and trailing only starting wideouts DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall. Although his usage and playmaking has been sporadic since joining the Panthers this season, Shenault's versatility and upside was on display in Thursday's victory.

Smith caught his only target for a 17-yard gain in Thursday night's 25-15 win over the Falcons.

Smith made his usual contribution, as he now sports 10 catches through 10 games this season. On Thursday, though, he was out-snapped by Laviska Shenault, who totaled five touches for 59 yards and a touchdown. While Shenault holds more explosive upside than Smith, the latter has at least makes the stat sheet as a depth pass catcher each week.

Cleveland (groin) is absent from the Broncos' final injury report ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Titans, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

After being limited at practice for consecutive days to start the week, Cleveland practiced in full Friday. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role on special teams and as depth at receiver.

Palmer is expected to serve as the Chargers' No. 1 receiver in Sunday's game at San Francisco with both Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) listed as out for the contest.

Following their Week 8 bye, the Chargers were without both Allen and Williams for the first time all season in last Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons. In their absences, Palmer stepped up to deliver his best performance of the season, reeling in eight of 10 targets for 106 yards. DeAndre Carter and Michael Bandy should continue to get expanded roles in three-receiver sets while Allen and Williams are out, but Palmer looks like the most reliable fantasy option among the Chargers' healthy receivers this week. The matchup with a formidable San Francisco defense isn't ideal on paper for Palmer, though the 49ers have done a better job at stifling the run game than the passing game this season.
