Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Could be on snap count Week 1
Godwin (knee), who is listed as questionable but expected to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys, could be on a snap count for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Godwin was a full participant in Friday's practice, but the Buccaneers haven't yet officially cleared him for Week 1 while he makes his way back from the torn ACL and MCL sprain in his right knee he suffered in December. Though Godwin should ultimately gain clearance when the Bucs release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, the team looks as though it could continue to take a cautious approach to his early-season usage and ramp up his snap share as the 2022 campaign unfolds. Tampa Bay also has Russell Gage (hamstring) listed as questionable versus Dallas, while Mike Evans and Julio Jones are good to go.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: On pace to make debut Sunday
London (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is in line to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
London picked up a knee injury in the Falcons' exhibition opener and was unable to practice again until Week 1 prep. The rookie first-round pick thus was limited in all three sessions and entered the weekend with a designation. Assuming he's deemed active roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, London will join second-year tight end Kyle Pitts as quarterback Marcus Mariota's top two receiving threats.

Michael Thomas WR | NO
Saints' Michael Thomas: On track to play Sunday
Thomas (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, is slated to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After logging limited sessions during the entirety of Week 1 prep, Thomas was tabbed with a designation for the opener. He's been dealing with a hamstring issue since at least Aug. 21, but he looks destined to be available Sunday in some capacity for what will be just his eighth game since the start or the 2020 season. Assuming he's active, Thomas will serve as one of quarterback Jameis Winston's top wide receivers along with Jarvis Landry and rookie first-round pick Chris Olave.

River Cracraft WR | WAS
Dolphins' River Cracraft: Joins active roster
The Dolphins have called up Cracraft to their active roster ahead of Sunday's opening game agains the Patriots.
Cracraft was unable to earn a spot on Miami's final roster after training camp and subsequently signed with the team's practice squad. He is now available to suit up in Week 1 and help provide depth at wide receiver. However, he is more likely to provide contributions on special teams.
-
Chris Conley WR | SF
Texans' Chris Conley: Up from practice squad
Conley has been elevated from Houston's practice squad ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Colts.
Conley, who caught 22 passes for 323 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games for the Texans last season, is back in the mix for Week 1 snaps, though he's a speculative fantasy option at this stage while working in a wideout corps headed by Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Patriots' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Elevated from practice squad
The Patriots have elevated Humphrey from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
With Jakobi Meyers (knee) listed as questionable for the contest, Humphrey provides the Patriots with some added Week 1 wideout depth, plus he's also an option to contribute on special teams if he's active Sunday.
-
Britain Covey WR | PHI
Eagles' Britain Covey: Joins active roster
The Eagles have elevated Covey to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Lions.
Covey failed to make it through Philly's final roster cuts and subsequently reverted to the practice squad. Now, the undrafted rookie will perhaps see his first NFL action as the team's No. 5 wide receiver.
-
Juwann Winfree WR | HOU
Packers' Juwann Winfree: Elevated to active roster
Winfree has been promoted to the Packers' active roster for Sunday's opener against the Vikings.
Winfree was the odd man out at wide receiver during Green Bay's final roster cuts. However, with Allen Lazard (ankle) doubtful, he will now suit up and help provide depth at the position. Aside from Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers, Winfree will be the only active receiver who has ever caught a regular-season pass from Aaron Rodgers. Still, it remains to be seen how many snaps he ultimately sees.
-
Malik Turner WR | SF
49ers' Malik Turner: PIcked up for Week 1
Turner has been elevated to the 49ers' active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Bears, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Turner was unable to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster during final cuts and subsequently signed with the practice squad. However, he has since earned a spot on the Week 1 roster as the team's No. 6 wide receiver. Still, he is most likely to contribute on special teams rather than offense.
-
Andre Baccellia WR | ARI
Cardinals' Andre Baccellia: Signed to active roster
Baccellia has been signed to the Cardinals' active roster ahead of Sunday's opening clash against the Chiefs, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
With Rondale Moore (hamstring) ruled out, Baccellia has been called up to help provide depth at receiver. However, his most likely impact on the field figures to come on special teams. He will enter the game as the No. 5 wideout on the depth chart.
