Doubs is among five active wide receivers for the Packers in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Since Green Bay posted its final Week 3 injury report Friday, Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was placed on IR on Saturday and Christian Watson (hamstring) was among the team's inactives Sunday. As a result, Doubs has a prime opportunity to make his first big impact as a pro alongside veterans Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb. Doubs was the talk of Packers training camp and flashed his abilities during the preseason, but through two games he's been contained to six catches (on eight targets) for 64 yards.

Perriman (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 3 clash against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

As expected, the veteran speedster will be available on a day when the Buccaneers' receiving corps will be down Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee). Perriman played a key role in the Week 2 win over the Saints after Evans was ejected in the fourth quarter, catching what was essentially a game-sealing 28-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady. Given the volume of absences in the receiver corps Sunday, Perriman should be in line for an elevated role as a starter alongside Russell Gage.

McKenzie is questionable to return Sunday against the Dolphins due to heat-related issues.

Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, it felt like 100 degrees before kickoff and the temperature has had a major impact on the players. Dawson Knox is also questionable to return due to the same issue.

Gage (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Gage missed Friday's practice but was reportedly expected to be available, and it's now confirmed he'll play through his hamstring issue for the third time in as many games to open the season. Gage's presence will be especially critical Sunday considering the absence of Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee).

Wilson (ribs) has returned to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson caught all four of his targets for 46 yards before leaving the contest in the first half, but he came out of halftime ready to go. He'll look to continue his strong game in the second half.

Cobb (illness) is active for Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Cobb was absent from practice during Week 3 prep with an illness, but he's well enough as of game day to be available to the Packers offense. He's in line for a significant snap count alongside Allen Lazard and rookie fourth-round pick Romeo Doubs because Sammy Watkins (hamstring) landed on IR on Saturday and Christian Watson (hamstring) is inactive Sunday. Cobb has gathered in five of six targets for 51 yards through two games.

Watson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday in Tampa Bay, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Watson entered the weekend with a questionable designation after being capped to one limited session due to a hamstring injury. He'll join Sammy Watkins (hamstring, IR) on the sideline, meaning the Packers' top trio at wide receiver Sunday will be Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb (illness) and Romeo Doubs. Watson, a rookie second-round pick, will aim to get healthy for a Week 4 matchup with the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 2.

Allen (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

After sitting out Friday's practice, Allen will end up missing his second straight contest. In his continued absence, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter are in line to see added Week 3 wide receiver opportunities in the Chargers offense alongside Mike Williams.

Wilson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bengals with a rib injury.

Prior to leaving the game, Wilson caught all for of his targets for 46 yards. In his absence, Elijah Moore and Corey Davis are in line to head the Jets' Week 3 WR corps.

Pringle was forced out of Sunday's contest against the Texans with a calf injury.

Pringle is iffy to return to Sunday's game against Houston after he was seen walking to the locker room with an apparent calf injury. Before his departure, the speedy receiver caught one pass for 11 yards. Expect Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis to take on an expanded role for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Texans if Pringle isn't able to return.
