Flowers (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, is being viewed as a game-time decision, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Flowers hurt his ankle last Monday against Tampa Bay and managed just one limited practice during the week while sitting out two sessions entirely. Given his minimal practice reps this week, it's no surprise that his status for Sunday's contest likely won't be clarified until 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Ravens release their inactive list. If Flowers can't suit up Sunday, Rashod Bateman will likely take over as Baltimore's No. 1 receiver.

Higgins (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, has "a real chance" of sitting out the Week 8 contest, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins injured his quad during practice Friday, resulting in him taking a designation into the weekend. Graziano notes that the wide receiver will be a game-time decision Sunday, so fantasy managers who roster Higgins should keep an eye on Cincinnati's inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Graziano also shares that there is "pessimism" about Higgins' likelihood of suiting up, and Andrei Iosivas will likely step in as the team's No. 2 wideout if Higgins ends up sitting out.

The Saints elevated St. Brown from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

St. Brown is being elevated from the practice squad for a second straight contest, after he played one offensive snap (no targets) versus Denver in Week 7. He projects to also handle a reserve role Sunday against the Chargers.

The Chargers elevated Reagor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Reagor seems like he'll get a chance to handle a depth role in Los Angeles' wide receiver room for a second straight contest due to Quentin Johnston being listed as doubtful for Week 8. The team has also elevated wide receiver Jaylen Johnson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

The Chargers elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Chargers also elevated wide receiver Jalen Reagor from the practice squad Saturday. Both Johnson and Reagor could suit up Sunday against New Orleans and handle depth roles in Los Angeles' depleted wide receiver corps,

The Raiders elevated Shorter from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Shorter may get a chance to suit up in a depth capacity Sunday versus the Chiefs. He was also elevated for the team's loss to the Rams in Week 7, a game in which he contributed on special teams and played just three offensive snaps.

The Buccaneers announced Saturday that Jarrett (knee) has been activated from IR, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Jarrett is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but it's encouraging to see him activated from IR in advance of the divisional matchup. If he's able to suit up Sunday, Jarrett will have opportunities to contribute in a Tampa Bay wide receiver corps that's without Mike Evans (hamstring) for Week 8 and Chris Godwin (knee) for the remainder of the year.

The Eagles activated Smith (ankle) from IR on Saturday and he does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Smith, a rookie fifth-round pick, may get a chance to make his regular-season debut for Philadelphia during Sunday's road matchup in Cincinnati. He's expected to handle a depth role in the Eagles' wide receiver corps, if not made a healthy scratch.

Buffalo elevated Virgil from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Virgil could get a chance to make his Bills debut during Sunday's game against the Seahawks. The depth wideout could also be a candidate to see some utilization in the return game for Buffalo, if needed.

The Titans elevated Kinsey from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Kinsey will help Tennessee fill out depth in the wide receiver room following the trade of DeAndre Hopkins to Kansas City. The former suited up for six regular-season games with the Titans in 2023, but logged only one reception for six yards in that span.
