Crowder (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Titans but is likely to play barring any setbacks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Crowder appears to be in line for his season debut after missing the Jets' first three games due to COVID-19 protocols and a groin injury. Schefter's report echoes several others earlier in the week that suggested Crowder is on track to play. With Elijah Moore (concussion) ruled out for the team's Week 4 contest, Crowder should handle his typical slot role and could quickly become a favorite target of rookie quarterback Zach Wilson.

Harry (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve and is eligible to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of role Harry will have within the offense after injuring his shoulder during the preseason. The offense under Mac Jones has been relatively reserved as last week saw just the second touchdown pass thrown through three games. A complicating offseason which saw Harry request a trade, rescind said request and then earn a rare series of compliments from coach Bill Belichick, all before injuring his shoulder in a preseason contest, leaves a bit of ambiguity regarding the 2019 first-round pick's status within the offense.

Boykin (hamstring) was not activated from injured reserve and will miss Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

It's unclear whether Boykin made the trip to Denver like his fellow injured reserve teammate, Rashod Bateman (groin), but in any case it sounds like both wideouts are likely close to making their respective 2021 debuts. Boykin has been a disappointment since joining the Ravens back in 2019 and probably will see a decreased role compared to years past with the emergence of Devin Duvernay coupled with the additions of Sammy Watkins and Bateman.

Bateman (groin) was not activated off injured reserve and therefore will not play Sunday against the Broncos, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Bateman did travel with the team to Denver, but he's evidently not quite ready to make his professional debut. The Ravens also opted not to activate Miles Boykin (hamstring) off injured reserve, meaning Sammy Watkins, Marquise Brown and Devin Duvernay will once again shoulder the majority of the pass-catching load.

St. Brown was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

St. Brown saw just six offensive snaps back in Week 2 during his first stint on the active roster this season, but it's possible the fourth-year wideout could see an increased role with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) on injured reserve. That being said, a lion's share of the workload is seemingly always guaranteed to the likes of Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, leaving St. Brown a high-end depth piece.

Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

This was hardly a surprise given Valdes-Scantling was expected to miss a couple of weeks. Equanimeous St. Brown was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad, but it's likely Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers will see an increased workload alongside usual stalwart Davante Adams.

The Cowboys activated Turner (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Turner will suit up for the first time this season Sunday. The 25-year-old wideout appeared in six games for Dallas last year and didn't record a target, as he played mostly special teams. He will likely garner a similar role in Week 4.

Allen (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Raiders, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Allen was a limited participant in practice earlier this week, but a full showing Saturday confirmed his status ahead of the critical divisional matchup. Through three games, Allen leads the team in targets (33) and catches (21) and is second in receiving yards (258) despite the emergence of Mike Williams as a co-No. 1 option.

The Seahawks elevated Thompson to their active roster from their practice squad Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Thompson was elevated from the practice squad prior Week 3 and made his NFL debut exclusively on special teams. His role will likely be similar during Week 4, but he may see some snaps on offense if Tyler Lockett (hip) and Dee Eskridge (concussion) are inactive against the 49ers.

The Steelers elevated White to their active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

White was elevated to the active roster ahead of Week 3 and made his NFL debut, catching two passes for 17 yards. Diontae Johnson (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) are both expected to play in Week 4, but Chase Claypool (hamstring) has already been ruled out. White's role will likely be limited, but he should still garner a few opportunities against the Packers. The 22-year-old wideout will revert back to Pittsburgh's practice squad after the game.
