The Browns elevated Proche from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday in advance of Sunday's contest against Kansas City, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Proche's elevation is his second in as many weeks due to Cedric Tillman being sidelined due to a concussion. Last Sunday versus Pittsburgh, Proche made the most of his two offensive snaps, recording two catches on two targets for 18 yards. He'll likely serve in a depth role at wide receiver and see limited work on offense again Sunday against the Chiefs.

Woods should maintain his role as the third wide receiver Sunday against the Chiefs, as Cedric Tillman has been ruled out.

Woods has eight targets and played 81.6 percent of the offensive snaps over the last two weeks while filling in for Tillman. Prior to his concussion, Tillman generated 44 targets and three touchdowns over five games, so the third wide receiver carries potential in a Jameis Winston-led offense. Cleveland hopes to use a more balanced run/pass ratio Sunday and minimize the opportunities for the Chiefs' offense; however, the Browns often play from behind and Winston has averaged 43.2 attempts per game over the last six weeks.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Johnson landed on IR in late October. He was designated to return Thursday, but he hasn't ramped up enough to return to game action this week. Johnson will need to be activated from IR before he's able to suit up on game day again. His next chance to play will be Sunday, Dec. 22 versus Dallas.

Davis (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Davis was held to limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, but he logged a full session Friday, suggesting that he's recovered from the issue in time to play Sunday. With the second-year wideout back at full health, he's expected to serve as the Chargers' top kick and punt returner in Week 15. Davis could also have increased offensive opportunities with Jalen Reagor (finger) sidelined Sunday.

Reagor (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Reagor was unable to practice all week after sustaining a finger injury in the Chargers' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. Derius Davis and DJ Chark could see increased offensive roles as depth options in the Chargers' wide receiver corps with Reagor sidelined in Week 15.

The Commanders cut Strachan from the practice squad Friday.

Washington needed Strachan's roster spot for kicker Greg Joseph. Strachan has bounced off and on the practice squad with the Commanders this season, but he hasn't appeared in a regular-season contest since last year with Carolina.

McConkey (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after being limited in practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

McConkey has logged six straight limited practice listings, and given that he was inactive for last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, his status for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET contest remains uncertain. Ideally, those considering him in Week 15 fantasy lineups will have added context regarding his status prior to the early wave of kickoffs, but if McConkey remains sidelined versus Tampa Bay, fellow wideouts Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would be in line to see added snaps and targets.

Shepard (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant.

The limited practice Friday represents Shepard's only participation this week, although there hasn't been any indication his foot injury is serious. He got either six or seven targets in each of the past three games, catching 13 of 20 passes for 121 yards in that stretch. If Shepard is declared inactive before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Trey Palmer and Rakim Jarrett will be the top candidates to take on extra WR snaps.

Evans (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Evans followed the same pattern as last week, returning to practice Friday as a limited participant after missing the prior two sessions. His lack of reps seems to be a matter of maintenance rather than inspired by genuine concern about his game availability, considering he took 85 percent of snaps on offense in last week's 28-13 win over the Raiders. Evans should again be busy Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles.

Meyers (ankle) remained limited at practice Friday.

Meyers also was limited Thursday, so he'll likely need to practice fully Saturday in order to go into Monday night's game against the Falcons without an injury designation. The wideout approached Week 14 action listed as questionable due to his ankle issue, but he was able to suit up for this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers while logging a 91 percent snap share and catching seven of his 10 targets for 67 yards in the contest.
