The Buccaneers are slated to place Perriman (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Perriman thus will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Saints, leaving Tyler Johnson, Scotty Miller and Jaelon Darden as the reserves behind starting wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Assuming he clears league protocols in time, Perriman's next chance to play will be Sunday, Dec. 26 at Carolina.

The Panthers have promoted Snead to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's tilt versus the Bills, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

Snead has gone back and forth between the practice squad and active roster all season. He will again help provide depth at wide receiver and presumably contribute on special teams.

Thielen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Bears, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

This is a somewhat surprising development as there were conflicting reports whether Thielen was even able to participate in Saturday's practice. Mark Craig of The Star Tribune reported Friday that Thielen would essentially be considered a game-time decision for Monday's pivotal divisional matchup, though a questionable designation on the team's final injury report would bode well for a possible return. If eventually ruled active for Monday, the star wideout would miss just one week after suffering a high ankle sprain during the Week 13 loss to the Lions.

The Bengals have elevated Taylor to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.

Taylor has spent the season on Cincinnati's practice squad after failing to make it through final roster cuts. With several healthy pass catchers ahead of him on the depth chart, any impact Sunday will presumably come on special teams -- most likely on punt returns, a notable failing for the team last week.

Fountain reverted back to the Chiefs' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Fountain was elevated to the active roster for Thursday's game against the Chargers, his second time dressing for a contest on the season. He played exclusively on special teams and did not record a stat.

Wallace (concussion) will play Sunday against the Packers.

Wallace suffered the concussion in the Ravens' Week 14 contest against the Browns. After missing practice Wednesday, Wallace was able to practice in full Thursday and Friday. The rookie will continue to provide depth at wide receiver and work on special teams Sunday when the Ravens take on the Packers.

Moore was placed on the Ravens' practice squad COVID-19 list Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Moore has been with the Ravens since going undrafted out of Tennessee-Martin in 2020. The wideout has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he'll try to get healthy and change that before the 2021 campaign comes to a close.

Reagor and the Eagles will no longer play Washington on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The two-day delay will also aid Quez Watkins' chances of clearing the necessary protocols and returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but if he's not available Tuesday, Reagor could benefit from a slight bump in targets.

Watkins and the Eagles will no longer play Washington on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Philadelphia has thus far avoided a team-wide outbreak of the virus, though Watkins is the lone player on the roster currently residing on the COVID-19 list. The Eagles haven't indicated where Watkins stands in his bid to return from the list, but the two-day delay for the Week 15 game could be enough time for him to gain clearance. If Watkins is ultimately unable to play Tuesday, the Eagles would likely turn to Jalen Reagor, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Greg Ward to pick up reps alongside No. 1 receiver DeVonta Smith.

Smith and the Eagles will no longer play Washington on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. The two-day delay could also help Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) get healthier, as he had been listed as questionable for the Week 15 contest before the game was postponed Friday. While Hurts was sidelined in the Eagles' Week 13 win over the Jets, Gardner Minshew filled in admirably at quarterback but didn't show much of a rapport with Smith, who finished with two receptions for 15 yards on four targets.
