Davis' teammate John Brown was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to a knee injury.

Davis was already lined up for a main role in Sunday's game against the Chargers, but he'll now get at least two more games in a top-three role due to his veteran teammate being moved to IR. Perhaps that extra bit of responsibility is enough to break a tie for those managers choosing between deeper WR options.

Coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that Dorsett (foot) will shed his walking boot soon, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Dorsett is making progress after undergoing surgery Nov. 3 to clean out bone spurs in his right foot. Nevertheless, Carroll admitted that the 2015 first-round pick isn't close to a return. A return to practice is Dorsett's next step in recovery.

Hinton will start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Saints, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

The undrafted rookie is the Broncos' best option at the position following news that their entire quarterback room will need to quarantine after being in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Hinton is officially listed as a wide receiver on the Broncos' practice squad, but he played quarterback for Wake Forest for three seasons before transitioning to wideout in 2018. With limited practice reps at the position, Hinton figures to utilize his legs just as much as his arm. He'll officially be elevated to the active roster Sunday morning.

Aiyuk won't be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's game against the Rams, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Aiyuk's next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Bills, a Monday night game. Deebo Samuel, Richie James and Kendrick Bourne figure to command most of the work in three-wide sets Sunday.

Hinton is expected to play at quarterback for the Broncos in Sunday's game against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hilton currently resides on the Broncos' practice squad and is officially listed as a wide receiver. However, he played quarterback for Wake Forest for three seasons before transitioning to wideout in 2018. The Broncos are expected to be creative, meaning the rookie likely won't get all of the work at quarterback. Nevertheless, he's an intriguing fantasy option since he's listed as a WR but carries the floor of a QB. He'll need to be activated from the practice squad before Sunday's game.

Harris (neck) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

The 22-year-old was originally considered questionable for Sunday's contest after not practicing all week, but he's now been downgraded to out due to the stinger. Marquez Callaway is the likely option to take over return duties in Harris' absence.

The Colts have officially activated Dulin off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dulin spent the minimum three-week requirement on IR before being designated to return earlier in the week. Practice seemingly went well and he will now be available versus Tennessee. However, he is not expected to make much of an impact on offense due to a plethora of receivers ahead of him on the depth chart.

The Chiefs signed Kemp to their active roster Saturday, Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest reports.

Kemp was on the team's practice squad prior to getting promoted. He has only seen action in one game this year and ended up with one reception for 11 yards. The 25-year-old pass catcher now sits at No. 5 on the Chiefs' depth chart.

Montgomery (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Montgomery suffered this hamstring injury at some point during the practice week and won't be able to play through it. In turn, Dwayne Washington will be the main backup to the tandem of Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray. Montgomery's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Falcons.

Harris (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Harris didn't practice at all this week after picking up a stinger in last week's win over Atlanta, so he's certainly trending in the wrong direction. If the 22-year-old is ultimately ruled out, Marquez Callaway and Alvin Kamara could see more work in the return game.
