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.

Xavier Hutchinson WR | HOU
Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Will have competition Week 9
Hutchinson could see a reduction in targets Week 9 against Denver, as both Nico Collins and Christian Kirk shed their injury designations Friday.
Hutchinson experienced an uptick in targets the last two weeks when both Collins and Kirk were impacted by injuries, but their returns should suppress Hutchinson's production. He typically sees a high snap volume whether or not the team is dealing with injuries to other receivers, so Hutchinson will be on the field often and still in a position to make some kind of impact.

Christian Kirk WR | HOU
Texans' Christian Kirk: Ready to return Week 9
Kirk (hamstring) logged a full practice Friday and carries no injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Both Kirk and Nico Collins (concussion) were full participants Friday and enter Week 9 with no designation. Kirk missed the last two games and four overall this season due to a balky hamstring. That's limited him to 10 catches, 109 yards and zero touchdowns over three games.
-
Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Carries no designation Week 9
Collins (concussion) was a
Collins, who cleared the concussion protocol Thursday, logged a pair of full practices heading into the weekend. The injury forced him to miss last week's win over San Francisco, but Collins remains the team's leader in targets (46), catches (26) and yards (339). He also has three touchdowns, tying him with fellow wideout Xavier Hutchinson.

Austin Trammell WR | JAC
Jaguars' Austin Trammell: Signed to active roster
The Jaguars signed Trammell to the active roster from the practice squad Friday.
Trammell has spent all season with the Jacksonville practice squad and was elevated once, though he has yet to see game action. He'll likely serve primarily as a special-teamer while taking the roster spot of Travis Hunter (knee).
-
Tim Patrick WR | JAC
Jaguars' Tim Patrick: Ruled out for Week 9
Patrick (groin) won't play Sunday against Las Vegas.
Patrick injured his groin against the Rams in Week 7. The Jaguars were on bye last week, but that didn't provide enough time for Patrick to fully recover, though he did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week. Austin Trammell was signed to the active roster off Jacksonville's practice squad Friday and could get some offensive snaps in Patrick's absence.
