London (hip) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Dolphins, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Despite showing up as limited on Friday's practice report due to a hip issue, London initially wasn't tagged with a designation for Sunday's game, but the Falcons then changed his status to questionable Saturday, per Terrin Waack of the team's official site. With London's lack of availability now confirmed for Week 8 action, Atlanta's options at wide receiver will be Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Casey Washington, KhaDarel Hodge, Jamal Agnew and Dylan Drummond.

Golden (hip) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Golden was added to the Packers' injury report Friday after being a limited participant in the team's final practice of the week. While the wideout is trending toward active status, fantasy managers will still want to confirm that Golden is available once Green Bay's inactive list is posted 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, Rapoport relays that wideout Christian Watson (knee), who was activated from the PUP list Saturday, is also on track to play Sunday.

Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 8 but is in line to play Sunday at Pittsburgh, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Packers entered the weekend with a pair of question marks at wide receiver after Matthew Golden also earned the same tag as Watson following Friday's limited practice due to a hip issue. The Packers officially activated Watson from the reserve/PUP list Saturday after he logged three consecutive weeks of capped sessions, so, even though he's suiting up Sunday, he may operate on a restricted snap count in his first game action since he tore the ACL in his right knee Week 18 of last season. An active Watson and Golden will join Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams as Green Bay's available options at the position Week 8.

Brown (hamstring), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, could return to action Nov. 10 in Green Bay following the Eagles' Week 9 bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown wasn't able to practice at all this week due to a hamstring issue. Such injuries often require a multi-week absence, but Brown has the advantage of Philadelphia's upcoming bye -- as well as an extra day off in Week 10, as the Eagles play Monday night -- to try to get healthy and avoid missing additional time. In separate news, Schefter reported Saturday that Philadelphia is unlikely to move Brown ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline, despite the wideout having drawn heavy interest from teams around the league.

The Jets signed Smith from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Smith's addition to the active roster corresponds with the Jets placing Josh Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve. Smith was elevated to the Jets' active roster for Week 6 against the Broncos and played 12 snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll give the Jets an additional body on special teams, but he could also be in the mix for snaps on offense against the Bengals on Sunday due to the absences of Reynolds and Garrett Wilson (knee).

The Falcons elevated Drummond from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Drummond opted to stick around in Atlanta as a member of the practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Week 8 will be his first elevation of the season, and he would give the Falcons an extra body on special teams and depth at wide receiver if Drake London (hip) is not cleared to play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

The Texans on Saturday elevated Wayne to the active roster for Week 8 against San Francisco.

Wayne will join Houston's active roster, which will be without both Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom were ruled out. Wayne is expected to serve as the fifth wideout on the depth chart behind Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and Braxton Berrios.

The Giants elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Humphrey was also elevated each of the past two weeks and played a major role in the Giants' offense, logging 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 6 and 95 percent in Week 7. Darius Slayton (hamstring) is returning for Sunday's game after sitting out each of the past two weeks, so Humphrey will likely take on a lesser role, though he could still be the team's No. 3 WR option behind Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson. Since Humphrey has now been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be active for New York on gameday again beyond this weekend.

The Eagles activated Cooper (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Giants.

Cooper hurt his shoulder in Week 3 against the Rams and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a pair of full practices to end the week, though he's still questionable to play Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, Cooper had a minor role on offense, logging 20 offensive snaps over three games without seeing a target. However, if he's able to suit up Sunday, Cooper could be a bit more involved since top wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out.

The Jets placed Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve Saturday.

Reynolds appeared on Friday's injury report due to a hip injury. Not only has he been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but the injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on IR for the veteran wide receiver. Reynolds will be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 13 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 30 the earliest he is eligible to return. With Reynolds on IR and Garrett Wilson (knee) ruled out for Week 8, the Jets' wide receiver corps will consist of Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams and Brandon Smith.
