  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: In line to play Sunday

    Chase (illness), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game against Green Bay, is "trending toward playing," NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Chase was deemed questionable entering the weekend after missing Friday's practice due to an illness. The star wideout appears to be doing better, though Schultz notes that the Bengals will see how he feels Sunday morning before making a final decision on his status versus the Packers. Should Chase indeed be able to suit up, he'll be working with a new quarterback, as veteran Joe Flacco is slated to start behind center for Cincinnati after the team acquired him in a trade with Cleveland on Tuesday.

  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: Elevated for London contest

    The Jets elevated Williams from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    The Jets waived Williams on Oct. 4, but he was back with the team after signing with the practice squad Monday. He has mostly played on special teams this season as a returner on punts and kickoffs, and he'll likely reprise that role during Sunday's game against the Broncos in London, England.

  • Jets' Brandon Smith: Elevated for Week 6

    The Jets elevated Smith from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    It's Smith's first elevation of the season, and he is in line to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Broncos on Sunday in London, England. The 26-year-old wideout logged 10 catches (on 13 targets) for 113 yards through three preseason games with the Jets but was unable to crack the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

  • Steelers' Ke'Shawn Williams: Inked to Pittsburgh's active roster

    The Steelers signed Williams from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Williams joined the Steelers' practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Though he hasn't been elevated this season, the undrafted rookie out of Indiana could make his NFL regular-season debut against the Browns on Sunday due to the absence of Calvin Austin (shoulder). Austin's absence opens the door for Williams to serve on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

  • Cowboys' Parris Campbell: Elevated for Week 6

    The Cowboys elevated Campbell from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Campbell joined the Cowboys' practice squad in late September after fully recovering from an MCL sprain that he suffered during Dallas' training camp in late July. The veteran wide receiver is poised to make his Cowboys debut against the Panthers on Sunday, and he could be utilized on offense due to the absences of CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot). Campbell logged six catches (on eight targets) for 30 yards and a touchdown across five regular-season games in 2024 as a member of the Eagles.

  • Cowboys' Jalen Cropper: Signed to Dallas' active roster

    The Cowboys signed Cropper from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    The move corresponds with the Cowboys placing running back Miles Sanders (knee) on injured reserve. Cropper had been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster twice this season and played a season-high six snaps on offense during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets. The third-year wideout will likely see most of his playing time Sunday on special teams but could get some work on offense due to the absences of fellow wideouts CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot).

  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Won't play Week 6

    Mingo (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Mingo was not on the field for practice Thursday or Friday, and the third-year wideout will not make his 2025 regular-season debut against the team that drafted him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Mingo will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week, and his next chance to play will be Week 7 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Khadarel Hodge WR | ATL

    Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Will play against Buffalo

    Hodge (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bills, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    A groin injury prevented Hodge from playing against the Commanders in Week 4. With the Falcons on their bye for Week 5, Hodge had an additional week to rest and recover from his injury, and he has been cleared to make his return Monday after logging a full practice Saturday. Hodge has seen the field on both offense and special teams this year, but he has zero receptions on one target through three regular-season games.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Won't return Week 6

    Coker (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Coker was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and was a full participant in practice all week, but he'll have to wait until Week 7 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 19 for the next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut. Coker's absence means Xavier Legette and Hunter Renfrow will continue to work with rookie first-rounder Tetairoa McMillan in three-wideout sets.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Questionable for MNF

    Samuel (heel) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bears, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Samuel managed just one limited practice Friday during Week 6 prep as he tends to a bruised heel, but he has a chance to play Monday, unlike fellow WRs Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee), both of whom have been ruled out. Coach Dan Quinn told Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post on Saturday that the Commanders will "take it into Monday" regarding Samuel's availability, but ultimately his status may not be confirmed until about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
