Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Expected to play in Week 9
Shaheed, who is questionable to play against the Rams on Sunday due to a hip injury, is likely to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Shaheed logged season-high marks with nine catches and 12 targets last Sunday against Tampa Bay but also suffered a hip injury. He logged a trio of limited practices this week, which appears to be enough for him to play Sunday. Shaheed will thus likely work in his usual No. 2 wideout role behind Chris Olave.

Ray-Ray McCloud WR | NYG
Giants' Ray-Ray McCloud: Elevated for Week 9
McCloud was elevated from the Giants' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
McCloud joined the Giants' practice squad Oct. 23 and is likely to make his team debut in Week 9 against the 49ers. His primary contribution could be as a kick returner, as he's tallied 91 kick-return yards across four games this season.

Michael Bandy WR | DEN
Broncos' Michael Bandy: Elevated for Week 9
Bandy was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
With Marvin Mims (concussion) being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bandy has been elevated to the active roster for what could be his first regular-season game as a Bronco. The wide receiver finished the preseason with six catches for 59 yards while logging 13 yards on two punt returns. Bandy will likely operate in a reserve capacity as the second punt returner behind Riley Moss. He will also be the fifth wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Trent Sherfield.

Ricky White III WR | SEA
Seahawks' Ricky White: Elevated for Week 9
White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The undrafted free agent out of UNLV could see his first NFL opportunity Sunday night, replacing the injured Dareke Young and Jake Bobo in a substantial special teams capacity, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Cody White WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cody White: Elevated for Week 9
White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
White has played five offensive snaps and six special teams snaps to this point in 2025, and he will look to continue to accumulate playing time during the Seahawks' Week 9 matchup with the Commanders. The 26-year-old wide receiver was elevated to fill in on special teams for the injured Dareke Young and Jake Bobo, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Treylon Burks WR | WAS
Commanders' Treylon Burks: Elevated to active roster
Burks was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Burks joined the Commanders' practice squad in mid-October after a lengthy recovery from a collarbone injury. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out, Burks has the chance to be active for the first time since Week 6 of the 2024 campaign.

Dylan Drummond WR | ATL
Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Joins active roster
Drummond was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Drummond has once again been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. Drummond played six offensive snaps during the Week 8 loss to the Dolphins. The elevation provides additional receiving depth to a corps that has been banged up. Both Drake London and Darnell Mooney are clear of injury designation following Friday's practice, but Drummond's presence will still provide additional safety at the wide receiver position.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: Green light for Week 9
Jones (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Jones has been working through a lingering knee issue since early October. His practice reps were limited Thursday and Friday, but he's avoided an injury tag for Week 9 after practicing without restrictions Saturday. Jones recorded seven catches (on 10 targets) for 146 yards over the two games prior to the Cardinals' Week 8 bye. Jacoby Brissett was the starter in those two games, and the veteran quarterback will draw the start against Dallas while Kyler Murray -- who is listed as questionable for Week 9 due to a foot sprain -- will serve as the backup if active.

James Proche WR | TEN
Titans' James Proche: Back with active roster
The Titans elevated Proche to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site report.
Proche's elevation provides Tennessee with much-needed depth at wide receiver, as Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) are both dealing with injuries ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Chargers. Proche, an SMU product, is likely to contribute both offensively and on special teams Sunday.

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Colts' Laquon Treadwell: Elevated Saturday
The Colts elevated Treadwell to their active roster Saturday.
The Ole Miss product is now in line to join the Colts' active roster for the second time in the last three weeks. In the Week 7 matchup against the Chargers, Treadwell played 12 special-teams snaps and didn't record an offensive stat. Now back with the active roster, he's likely to play a similar role in the Week 9 matchup against the Steelers.
