The Saints elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Austin and fellow practice squad wide receiver Dante Pettis will be on the Saints' active roster for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Both will provide depth at wideout due to Chris Olave (concussion) and Bub Means (ankle) being on injured reserve and Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) ruled out. Austin opted to stay in New Orleans on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Blair was elevated from the Falcons' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

It's the second time Blair has been elevated to the active roster this season. He played in Week 1 against the Steelers, during which he logged six snaps on special teams and did not record a stat. Blair will likely reprise that role Sunday against the Saints and is unlikely to see snaps on offense.

The Chiefs elevated Ross from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Ross will be elevated for a second straight game due to JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) being ruled out. Ross played seven snaps on offense during the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers but did not see any targets from Patrick Mahomes.

Cracraft (shoulder) was a full practice participant Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Cracraft has practiced in full all week, and he could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game. He appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2023, during which he logged nine catches (on 12 targets) for 121 yards and one touchdown.

The Giants elevated Hodgins from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Carolina in Germany, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Hodgins had previously been elevated in Weeks 5 and 6, and he recorded one catch for five yards while logging 38 offensive snaps in those two games. The fifth-year pro's elevation for Week 10 comes as a result of Darius Slayton being ruled out for the contest against Carolina while in the NFL's concussion protocol. Hodgins isn't likely to see heavy volume Sunday, but he should get some opportunities to contribute as he did in the previous two games for which he has suited up this season.

London, who is listed as questionable Sunday with a hip injury, is expected to play against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris previously told Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com on Friday that he "felt good" about London's chances of playing Week 10, and nothing on that front seems to have changed as Sunday's game approaches. Expect Atlanta to officially confirm London's status when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Robinson (toe/hip) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Dolphins, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Jordan Whittington and Robinson were each cleared of their respective injury designations, which means the Rams will be at full capacity at wide receiver for one of the few times this season. Expect Robinson to see less work than last week, when he caught the game-winning touchdown, in part because Puka Nacua will be back after being ejected early in the Week 9 win over the Seahawks.

The Buccaneers elevated Callaway from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Callaway was elevated for the first time last week to face Kansas City and logged two offensive snaps without drawing a target. Tampa Bay can use all the help it can get at receiver due to Chris Godwin (ankle) being lost for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) out for a third straight week and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) questionable against the 49ers on Sunday. Even with all of those injuries, Callaway doesn't figure to be a major factor versus San Francisco given his snap count last week.

Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill's availability for Monday's contest appears to be up in the air after his wrist injury prevented him from practicing Friday and Saturday. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, head coach Mike McDaniel declined to offer a firm word on Hill's Week 10 status earlier Saturday, merely noting that the receiver "will do everything possible to play, but we'll see." Fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on reports pertaining to Hill leading up to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Olave (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After suffering his second concussion in a month, and third concussion in a calendar year, this was expected. The star target will be out at least until mid-December, at which point it's possible the team will decide whether it's worth bringing back Olave altogether given New Orleans likely won't be in the playoff hunt. Expect more information regarding his playing status to come later in November.
