Las Vegas elevated Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Jackson was elevated for the second week in a row after playing four snaps during last week's loss to the Broncos. He'll once again serve as the Raiders' fifth wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Tyler Lockett and Dont'e Thornton. This was also the third time that Jackson was called up from the practice squad, marking the final time that he was eligible to he elevated this season. He'll now have to be signed to the active roster to play any further games for the Raiders this year.

Campbell was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

Campbell was also elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 14 win versus Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. But, he wound up being ruled a healthy scratch for the contest. Backup wideout Derius Davis (ankle) has already been ruled out, and starter Quentin Johnston (groin) is questionable. It's likely that Campbell will only be active if Johnston ends up being ruled inactive 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 pm ET kickoff.

The Rams activated Atwell (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.

Atwell doesn't have a designation for Sunday's tilt against the Lions, so his activation from injured reserve indicates that he's available to return from a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury. If he's active, Atwell will compete with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington for snaps at the WR3 spot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring). Prior to his extended absence, Atwell caught four passes (one nine targets) for 164 yards and one touchdown across six regular-season games.

The Colts elevated Owen from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Anthony Gould (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so Owen will serve as Indy's fifth wide receiver behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and Laquon Treadwell. Gould is also the primary kick returner and punt returner for the Colts, so, in his absence, Owen might see action in those roles. This marks Owen's first practice-squad elevation of the season, leaving two more opportunities for him to be elevated this year.

Thrash was waived by the Browns on Saturday.

The 24-year-old wideout was a healthy scratch in each of Cleveland's last two contests. Thrash appeared in nine games this season, catching 10 of 15 targets for 107 yards across 216 offensive snaps. In a corresponding move, the Browns added Garrett Dellinger to their active roster Saturday.

There is optimism in the Bears organization that Odunze (foot) will be available to play against the Browns on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Odunze did not play against the Packers in Week 14 due to a foot injury. He earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after failing to log a full practice during Week 15 prep, but it appears the second-year wideout is on track to return against Cleveland. Odunze's official status may not be known until the Bears announce their list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which would give fantasy managers time to explore their options in case the 2024 first-rounder is not cleared to suit up. DJ Moore, rookie second-rounder Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus and tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet would all be slated for more targets from quarterback Caleb Williams in the event that Odunze doesn't play.

Shepard didn't log any snaps during the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Shepard was active for the contest, but with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan available and the rest of the Buccaneers' receiving corps also healthy, the veteran wideout failed to see the field for the first time all season. With Tez Johnson running ahead of Shepard at the moment, the latter is a fantasy non-factor.

Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Johnson saw both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan return to the field Thursday, making it wholly unsurprising the rookie was limited to just one target and logged his lowest snap count (15) since his Week 1 NFL debut. Johnson was unable to convert that single look into a catch, making it two straight games without a reception. Provided the Buccaneers' receiving corps remains at full strength for the team's remaining three regular-season games, Johnson figures to be a fantasy afterthought.

Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad ahead of Thursday night's showdown with the Buccaneers. The wide receiver and special teamer logged three offensive snaps and five special teams snaps in the win over the division rival.

Bachman (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Bachman was unable to practice all week and will miss a second consecutive game due to a thumb injury. He's mostly worked on special teams this season, but his absence opens the door for Phillip Dorsett, Shedrick Jackson, Brenden Rice, Justin Shorter or DJ Turner to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game. Bachman's next opportunity to play is Week 16 against the Texans on Sunday, Dec. 21.
