Eskridge (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 6 clash against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

The second-year wideout was able to overcome an early-week illness to return to limited practice participation by Thursday, so his availability was expected. Now that it's confirmed, Eskridge is slated to fill his usual No. 4 receiver role, one that's netted a meager 3-16 line on five targets thus far across five games.

Goodwin (knee/back) is active for Sunday's Week 6 clash against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

The veteran speedster will therefore be available to fill his usual No. 3 role against Arizona. Goodwin has logged at least 25 snaps from scrimmage in each of the four contests he's played in thus far, but that's resulted in just an 8-53 line on eight targets.

Kupp (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 6 clash against the Panthers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The star wideout was trending in the right direction at the end of the practice week despite a pair of limited sessions, and his active status is now confirmed. Kupp should therefore find himself in his usual voluminous role as the linchpin of the Rams air attack versus Carolina.

Anderson (illness) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tacked on to the Panthers' injury report Friday as a non-participant due to an illness, Anderson is feeling well enough to be available to the team Week 6. It's unclear if he'll be impacted in any way, but he nonetheless will be one of P.J. Walker's top targets with Baker Mayfield (ankle) sidelined. While Anderson has hauled in just 13 of 27 targets through five games, he's averaging 15.8 yards per catch, which is good for a tie for 12th in the NFL this season.

Bourne was forced out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a toe injury.

Prior to his exit, Bourne caught his only target for 17 yards. In his absence, Tyquan Thornton is in line to see added wideout snaps alongside Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker.

Ezukanma (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Although Ezukanma returned to practice Friday after sustaining an eye injury, he won't take the field due to the coach's decision. This will be his sixth consecutive game being a healthy scratch this season.

Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith served as the Saints' top receivers during walk-through drills ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

After handling 96 and 72 percent snap shares in Week 4 and 5, Callaway looks primed for a similar level of playing time Sunday. Fellow wideouts Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) are sidelined for their third and second game in a row, respectively, while rookie first-round pick Chris Olave is inactive after he was unable to clear the concussion protocol. Additionally, the Saints are without another depth wideout in Deonte Harty (foot), who was recently moved to injured reserve. Of the five receivers who are active for the Saints this week, Callaway and Smith have combined for 12 of the 13 receptions the quintet has recorded this season.

Smith and Marquez Callaway served as the Saints' top receivers during walk-through drills ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

After logging a season-high 66 percent of snaps on offense in the Saints' Week 5 win over the Seahawks while fellow wideouts Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) were out, Smith could see his playing time tick up even further Week 6. In addition to Thomas and Landry, rookie first-round pick Chris Olave (concussion) is inactive this week, and another depth wideout in Deonte Harty (foot) was recently moved to injured reserve. Of the five receivers who are active for the Saints this week, Smith and Callaway have combined for 12 of the 13 receptions the quintet has recorded this season.

Agnew is expected to serve as one of the Jaguars' top three receivers Sunday against the Colts with Marvin Jones (hamstring) inactive for the contest, Adam Stites of USA Today reports.

Both Christian Kirk and Zay Jones are expected to remain firmly ahead of Agnew in the pecking order at receiver, but Marvin Jones' absence at least opens up more work for Agnew, who tied his season low by playing just five offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Texans. While Zay Jones was sidelined with an ankle injury Week 4, Agnew served as Jacksonville's third receiver for the team's loss to Philadelphia and finished with four receptions for 50 yards and two touchdowns on six targets. Even in that contest, however, Agnew still played just 37 percent of the Jaguars' snaps on offense.

Toure (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.

Toure has yet to play this season. The rookie will continue trying to earn a chance to suit up, with his next opportunity being against the Commanders in Week 7.
