Olave (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Olave was contained to just one limited session (Friday) during Week 6 prep as he dealt with an illness, but it won't stop him from being available Sunday. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's active, he'll be looking to build upon the 39-537-1 line on 54 targets that he's accrued through the first five contests of the campaign.

The Steelers elevated Smith from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Bucs.

With Michael Pittman (foot), Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) all injured and out for Week 6, Smith will bring up the rear of the Steelers' wideout depth chart behind DK Metcalf and rookie Germie Bernard.

The Chiefs elevated Watson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Watson signed with Kansas City earlier this week and will provide the team with experience at wide receiver after Rashee Rice (hamstring) was ruled out for Week 6. Tyquan Thornton (ankle) was also lost to injured reserve two weeks ago.

The Chiefs elevated Armstrong from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

With Rashee Rice (hamstring) out and Tyquan Thornton (ankle) on injured reserve, Armstrong and Justin Watson were both elevated from the practice squad Saturday. The Chiefs are extremely thin on experienced wide receivers headed into Week 6. Armstrong has never appeared in a regular-season NFL game.

The Packers elevated Owen from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

With Skyy Moore (ankle) sent to injured reserve in a corresponding move and Savion Williams (ankle) still questionable for his potential season debut, Owen will bring up the rear of the Packers' wideout depth chart. Owen appeared in two games with Green Bay last regular season, logging one snap on offense and 19 on special teams.

The Chargers activated Lambert-Smith (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Kansas City.

Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 against Arizona and has been sidelined since. He was able to post an LP/LP/FP practice log this week, but it's not yet certain that he'll suit up Sunday. Should Lambert-Smith be active, he could see some opportunities on offense given the injuries to fellow wideouts Tre' Harris (hamstring - out) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps - questionable).

The Packers activated Williams (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Williams remains questionable for Sunday night against the Cowboys, but the transaction Saturday paves the way for him to play versus Dallas. With Skyy Moore (ankle) joining Jayden Reed (neck) on injured reserve Saturday, Williams could see offensive snaps behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, and there's a real chance Williams takes over WR3 duties in Green Bay moving forward. Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant are his main competitors for snaps on offense.

The Steelers elevated Johnson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Johnson hasn't appeared in a regular-season NFL game since 2024, when he caught one pass for nine yards across three appearances with Pittsburgh. With Michael Pittman (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) placed on injured reserve and Ben Skowronek (calf) ruled out, Johnson figures to be active against Tampa Bay.

The Saints elevated Tillman from the practice squad Saturday.

With Chris Olave (illness) listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Tillman will provide emergency depth at wide receiver. He played one offensive snap in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

The Packers placed Moore (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Moore wasn't able to return after injuring his ankle last Sunday against the Bears, and in the midst of not practicing during Week 6 prep, he was seen wearing a boot on his left boot and using a scooter to move about the locker room, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Moore thus will miss at least the next four games, meaning his next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Nov. 15 against the Vikings. In Moore's absence, some combination of Bo Melton, Savion Williams (ankle) and Matthew Golden likely will handle return duties.
