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.

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.

Arizona elevated Wims from the practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Seahawks.

Wims will likely make his 2022 debut in Week 6 with Antoine Wesley (quadriceps) now on the injured reserve list. The Georgia product is another big-bodied receiver who can mimic some of the same offensive functions as Wesley.

Green Bay elevated Winfree from the practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jets.

It will be the third week this season Winfree is active for the Packers and the last time he's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad before he would have to be signed to the team's active roster in order to play. The 26-year-old wideout has one reception for 17 yards on three targets through two games this season.

Dallas placed Fehoko (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Fehoko was forced out of the Cowboys' win at the Rams in Week 5 early with a shoulder injury, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games as he recovers. KaVontae Turpin should see an increase in reps until Fehoko returns.

The Jaguars are optimistic that Jones (ankle), who is officially questionable, will play Sunday against the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Jones has been dealing with the ankle issue for a few weeks, missing Jacksonville's Week 4 game as a result before returning in Week 5. He logged three limited practices during the week, suggesting he has a reasonable chance of suiting up. With Marvin Jones (hamstring) already ruled out, Jones could see an increase in targets if he is able to play.

Allen (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful for Monday's contest against the Broncos.

Allen himself said it was unlikely he'd play Monday and instead turned his attention to getting prepared for the Seahawks in Week 7. DeAndre Carter has seen a significant snaps uptick in recent weeks with Allen sidelined, but it hasn't translated into many opportunities. Joshua Palmer could be the biggest beneficiary as the team's primary slot target against a Broncos defense that has been vulnerable at times against the aforementioned position.

Indianapolis signed Coutee from the practice squad to its active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Jacksonville.

Coutee has played just four snaps this season, all on special teams, but the Colts saw fit to sign him to their 53-man roster ahead of Week 6. With deep threat Ashton Dulin (foot) on the injured reserve list, it could make sense for the Colts to send Coutee down the field in his stead.

Jones (hamstring) has been downgraded to out and will not play Sunday against the Colts, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

It appears as if Jones' late-week injury will ultimately keep him out of the divisional matchup after all. The veteran has fluctuated between critical target hog and complete non entity in recent weeks so it's unclear exactly who benefits with Jones sidelined. Expect Jamal Agnew and possibly Tim Jones to see additional playing time as a result.

Agholor (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Browns.

Agholor played just seven snaps in last week's contest before exiting with a hamstring injury. While the pass catcher did manage to practice in limited fashion all week, the team evidently made the choice to downgrade Agholor after initially listing him as questionable. Expect Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton to see a bit more playing after both tallied 25-plus offensive snaps in Week 5.
