Jakobi Meyers WR | LV
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Doubtful for Sunday
Meyers (ankle) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful Saturday for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
With Meyers likely to join Davante Adams (hamstring) on the sideline for Week 6, second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell will have few weapons to work with in his first start of 2024. Meyers had played in each of the Raiders' first five games, and he drew 19 targets over the past two weeks while Adams was out of the lineup. Meyers sat out the Raiders' first two practices of Week 6 before returning to the field Friday as a limited participant, and though he appears on track to be inactive for Sunday's contest, he'll have a good chance to play Week 7 against the Rams if he doesn't miss any additional practice time.

Josh Reynolds WR | DEN
Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Shifts to IR
Reynolds (hand) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Reynolds underwent finger surgery earlier this week, and as a result won't be eligible to return until early November. The Broncos have a number of wide receivers that could step to replace Reynolds between Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele, but it remains to be seen which of the crew truly stands to operate as the No. 2 behind Courtland Sutton.

Parris Campbell WR | PHI
Eagles' Parris Campbell: Signed to active roster
The Eagles signed Campbell to their 53-man roster Saturday.
Campbell had already been elevated from the practice squad three times this season, so Philadelphia was required to sign him to the active roster in order for the speedy wideout to play Sunday versus Cleveland. The 27-year-old has been playing a significant role in the Eagles' offense in recent games due to the absences of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, and in Week 4 he logged a season-high 84 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Campbell probably won't play that much in Week 6 with both Brown and Smith slated to return, but he could remain on the roster as a depth receiver for the remainder of the campaign.

Ryan Miller WR | TB
Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Moves up to active roster
The Buccaneers elevated Miller from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Miller is getting his first elevation of the campaign due to fellow wideouts Trey Palmer (concussion) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) being ruled out for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Jalen McMillan is also questionable for the contest due to a hamstring issue. Miller played in one contest with Tampa Bay last year, logging two offensive snaps without any targets and 12 special-teams snaps versus Carolina in Week 13.

Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Bills' Curtis Samuel: All ready for Monday
Samuel, who missed practice time this week with a toe issue, does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Jets.
Samuel has at least two targets in every game this season, but some assumed the offseason addition would thrive significantly more in the Joe Brady offensive scheme, similar to the duo's days in Carolina. Expect Samuel to continue to operate in a depth role, as top wideout Khalil Shakir (ankle) is trending in the right direction for Monday's game.
-
Mack Hollins WR | BUF
Bills' Mack Hollins: Good to go for Monday
Hollins, who was limited in practice this week with a shoulder issue, does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Jets.
Hollins has compiled six targets in each of the past two games, but the big-bodied wideout hardly has anything to show from it, as he's tallied just three total catches for 32 yards over the past two weeks. With Khalil Shakir (ankle) trending in the right direction, Hollins will likely share the pass-catching duties with the full complement of Bills wideouts.

Kendrick Bourne WR | NE
Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Expects to play
Bourne (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is expected to play, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Bourne played just 27 percent of the team's snaps in his 2024 debut last week after missing the first four games following the 2023 October ACL tear. Expect the veteran wide receiver to be more involved in the gameplan this week as the Patriots debut the 2024 No. 3 overall pick, Drake Maye, in his first professional start.

Jaelon Darden WR | CLE
Browns' Jaelon Darden: Gets elevated for Week 6
Cleveland elevated Darden from its practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Darden will be available for the Browns for the second time this season at the Eagles. In his first outing in Week 1 versus the Cowboys, he returned five punts for 72 yards and four kickoffs for 97 yards.
-
Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Questionable for Monday
Shakir (ankle) will be a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is expected to be listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The news dump comes before the Bills take part in practice Saturday, so it's possible something will change. Assuming Shakir does practice, it would mark the first time the 24-year-old has participated in any fashion over the past two weeks.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 27 yards on TNF
Jennings had three receptions (five targets) for 27 yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.
Jennings saw the field for nearly half (49 percent) of San Francisco's offensive plays Thursday, a number which has mirrored his snap count this season aside from his standout performance against the Rams back in Week 3. Since that three-score game, the veteran slot man has produced just seven catches for 128 yards with no trips to the end zone over his last three contests. Jennings remains an option for those in deeper formats when the 49ers host the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20.
