Raymond secured three of three targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 31-30 win over Chicago.

The 5-foot-7 wideout led all Detroit receivers in playing time with 49 snaps on offense, but he was a secondary target for Jared Goff behind Amon-Ra St. Brown. Raymond also has yet to find the end zone while only being targeted twice within the red zone all season. Even though he should maintain his high slotting on the depth chart in the continued absences of DJ Chark (ankle), Jameson Williams (knee) and Josh Reynolds (back), Raymond has not shown much upside in his six games with a prominent role.

Watkins caught all four of his targets for 80 yards in Monday's loss to the Commanders.

Watkins had averaged a mere one catch per game through the first nine weeks, but he made a much bigger impact this time around, setting season highs in both catches and yards. There could be more targets to go around in the coming weeks with Dallas Goedert out indefinitely due to a shoulder injury, though it's still hard to get too excited about Watkins, who has just 17 targets on the year.

Lazard (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Lazard is maintaining his same listing from Monday's estimated report, but the Packers haven't provided any indication he suffered any setback with his shoulder issue after he played 60 snaps in this past Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Cowboys. Since sitting out a Week 8 loss to Buffalo with the injury, Lazard has played north of 85 percent of the snaps on offense while stringing together a 7-132-1 receiving line on 14 targets. Lazard is expected to be ready to go for Thursday's game against the Titans, but the Packers' final Week 11 injury report Wednesday will reveal whether he carries a designation into that contest.

Watson (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

As expected, the ankle issue that resulted in Watson being labeled as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report doesn't look to be anything that will prevent him from playing in Thursday's game against the Titans. The rookie wideout will be looking to build on his breakthrough performance in the Packers' overtime win over the Cowboys last weekend, when he hauled in four of eight targets for 107 yards and three touchdowns.

The Texans signed Bachman to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Bachman was last let go by the Giants prior to the start of the 2022 season, but he's since joined Houston's practice squad Tuesday where he'll serve as an emergency depth option at wide receiver. The 26-year-old posted a monster preseason performance for the Giants back on Aug. 21, where he caught 11 passes for 122 yards and two scores in a 25-22 win over the Bengals.

Humphrey was cut from the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday.

Humphrey played in each of New England's first six games this season, recording two catches on four targets for 20 yards. The 24-year-old was previously let go by the Patriots this season and subsequently brought back, which could happen again. If not, Humphrey will work to earn an opportunity elsewhere.

The Packers designated Cobb (ankle) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

The transaction confirms that Cobb was cleared to participate in Green Bay's practice Tuesday, though the extent of his activity isn't known after he sat out each of the team's last four games with a right ankle sprain. According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Cobb is being treated as day-to-day and could be an option to return to the 53-man roster to play in Week 11, even though Green Bay faces a quick turnaround for a Thursday night matchup with the Titans. The Packers will presumably wait and see how Cobb checks out following their practice Wednesday before deciding whether to add him to the roster by Thursday's 4 p.m. EST deadline. If cleared to play, Cobb should immediately step back into his role as the primary slot receiver.

The Broncos waived Cleveland on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Cleveland was let go from Denver on Tuesday, after he appeared in six games for the team this season and corralled just two receptions for 28 yards in that span. The third-year receiver began his career with the Broncos back in 2020, but he'll now search for playing opportunities elsewhere.

Cole was held without a catch on two targets in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

Cole was limited by a minor knee injury before returning to full participation in practice this past Thursday, but he managed to play north of 40 offensive snaps Sunday for the first time since Week 4, occupying the slot with Hunter Renfrow (oblique) on injured reserve. Cole's additional playing time didn't translate to production, however, while Davante Adams and Mack Hollins combined to see 20 targets from quarterback Derek Carr. Cole likely retains a similar role again Week 11 in Denver, but he's still low on the pecking order in the Raiders' aerial attack.

Moore was targeted once and recorded a six-yard reception across his 15 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Jaguars.

The absence of Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and the early exit of JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) didn't yield more playing time for Moore, whose 24 percent offensive snap share matched his mark from the Week 9 win over the Titans. Rather than Moore, it was Justin Watson (45 snaps) and Kadarius Toney (28 snaps) who saw the biggest spikes in playing time among the Kansas City wideouts. In addition to losing reps at receiver to Toney, Moore also yielded punt-return duties to the trade-deadline pickup after a string of miscues on special teams in recent weeks.
