  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Expected to play Sunday

    Lamb (hip) is listed as questionable but should play Sunday against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Lamb was added to the Cowboys' Week 6 injury report Friday, but he looks to be trending toward active status Sunday, unlike quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb). Official confirmation of the wideout's status will arrive when Dallas' inactive list is posted ahead of the team's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Willie Snead WR | MIA

    49ers' Willie Snead: Bumped up from practice squad

    The 49ers elevated Snead from the practice squad Saturday, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

    Snead will be included on the 49ers' gameday roster for the first time this season, but he's not a lock to be active for Sunday's game in Atlanta. The 49ers already have five healthy receivers (Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Ray-Ray McCloud and Danny Gray) and may not need Snead as a depth option.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Discipline from league not imminent

    Adams isn't expected to face any possible discipline stemming from his shove of a credentialed photographer Monday in the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs until his legal situation pertaining to the incident is resolved, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Adams was charged Wednesday with a city ordinance violation of assault, with his citation stating that he "did, by an intentional, overt act, inflict bodily injury or cause an unlawful offensive contact" on the photographer, who reportedly suffered from whiplash and a headache along with a possible concussion. A preliminary court date of Nov. 10 has been set, but Adams will remain on the field for Las Vegas until the legal case ends and the NFL decides whether or not to levy punishment on the star receiver. Because Adams was criminally charged, the NFL could view the incident as a violation of the personal conduct policy, which could result in him serving a suspension and/or paying a fine even if the legal charges are dropped.

  • Deonte Harty WR | BAL

    Saints' Deonte Harty: Placed on IR

    The Saints placed Harty (foot) on injured reserve Saturday.

    The fourth-year receiver typically hasn't been a major part of the Saints' offensive game plan during his time in the NFL, but his absence for at least Sunday's matchup with the Bengals will loom larger than normal with each of New Orleans' top three receivers -- Michael Thomas (foot), Chris Olave (concussion) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) either ruled out for the contest or considered unlikely to play. Harty, who had recorded two receptions for 13 yards while also handling return duties in four of the Saints' first five games, won't be eligible to come off IR until the team's Week 10 matchup with the Steelers on Nov. 13.

  • Patriots' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Moved up from practice squad

    The Patriots elevated Humphrey from the practice squad Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    With Nelson Agholor (hamstring) getting downgraded to out for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Humphrey will move up from the practice squad to bolster the Patriots' depth at receiver. While playing in all five of the Patriots' games to date, Humphrey has produced only two receptions for 20 yards across 125 snaps on offense.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Considered game-time decision

    Higgins (ankle), who is officially questionable for Sunday's contest against the Saints, is viewed as a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Bengals won't make a decision about Higgins' status before monitoring him in pregame workouts, so fantasy managers likely won't get confirmation about his availability until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The wideout was listed as a limited participant at Friday's practice after missing sessions Wednesday and Thursday with the sprained ankle.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Unlikely for Week 6

    Olave (concussion), officially listed as questionable, is unlikely to play Sunday against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Even though Olave upgraded to full practice participation Friday, multiple Saints beat reporters suggested the rookie wideout didn't actually do much on the field during the open portion of the session. Olave also needs clearance from an independent neurologist to formally exit the concussion protocol, and Schefter's report suggests that's unlikely to happen prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Olave's status won't be known one way or the other until 90 minutes prior to kickoff, but if he's unable to suit up, the Saints will be down each of their top three receivers. Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (groin) have already been ruled out for the contest.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Expected to face Browns

    Meyers (knee), who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Meyers missed two games with a knee injury earlier in the season, though he returned in Week 5 to post a seven-reception, 111-yard performance against the Lions. He logged three limited practices throughout the week and is likely to be able to lead the Patriots' receiving corps once again against the Browns.

  • Keith Kirkwood WR | BAL

    Saints' Keith Kirkwood: Added to 53-man roster

    Kirkwood was signed to the Saints' active roster Saturday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    The Saints receiving corps could be shorthanded for a Week 6 matchup against the Bengals, as both Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (groin) have been ruled out. Kirkwood has been active for one game this season and tallied one reception, though he could have an expanded role Sunday.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Joins active roster

    Shaheed was signed to the Saints' active roster Saturday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    The Saints are poised to have a shorthanded receiving corps, with Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals. With Deonte Harty (foot) also sidelined, it's possible that Shaheed will serve as both a depth receiver and returner on special teams.
