Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Giants' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Gets third practice-squad elevation
The Giants elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Humphrey was also elevated each of the past two weeks and played a major role in the Giants' offense, logging 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 6 and 95 percent in Week 7. Darius Slayton (hamstring) is returning for Sunday's game after sitting out each of the past two weeks, so Humphrey will likely take on a lesser role, though he could still be the team's No. 3 WR option behind Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson. Since Humphrey has now been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be active for New York on gameday again beyond this weekend.

Darius Cooper WR | PHI
Eagles' Darius Cooper: Activated off injured reserve
The Eagles activated Cooper (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Giants.
Cooper hurt his shoulder in Week 3 against the Rams and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a pair of full practices to end the week, though he's still questionable to play Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, Cooper had a minor role on offense, logging 20 offensive snaps over three games without seeing a target. However, if he's able to suit up Sunday, Cooper could be a bit more involved since top wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Jets' Josh Reynolds: Lands on injured reserve
The Jets placed Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve Saturday.
Reynolds appeared on Friday's injury report due to a hip injury. Not only has he been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but the injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on IR for the veteran wide receiver. Reynolds will be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 13 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 30 the earliest he is eligible to return. With Reynolds on IR and Garrett Wilson (knee) ruled out for Week 8, the Jets' wide receiver corps will consist of Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams and Brandon Smith.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Now listed as questionable for Week 8
The Falcons changed London's status to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hip injury, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
London didn't show up on Atlanta's Week 8 injury report until Friday as a limited participant with the hip issue, and the team then didn't tag him with a game-day designation. With the slight downgrade, his status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff to see if he'll be available. London currently sits with a 38-469-2 receiving line on 63 targets in six games this season, and if he's active he likely will be working with quarterback Kirk Cousins because regular starter Michael Penix (knee) is trending toward sitting out, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Activated from PUP list
The Packers activated Watson (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Watson was limited in practice all week and drew the questionable tag for Week 8, but his activation from the PUP list Saturday is a positive sign for the 2022 second-rounder. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn right ACL that he sustained in Week 18 of the 2024 season against the Bears, but whether he plays Sunday may not be officially known until the Packers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Watson's return would bolster Green Bay's wide receiver corps, which will be without Dontayvion Wicks (calf) for Week 8 while rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden (hip) is listed as questionable.

James Proche WR | TEN
Titans' James Proche: Joins active roster
Proche was elevated to the Titans' active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
The veteran wideout is now in line to make his 2025 debut in the Week 8 matchup against the Colts. Proche's last in-game action came with the Browns in 2024, when he caught all three of his targets for 21 yards while also accumulating 172 kick-return yards across nine contests. Now with Tennessee's active roster, he could contribute both offensively and on special teams Sunday.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Jets' Josh Reynolds: Won't play Week 8
Reynolds (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Reynolds popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to a hip issue, and the injury is severe enough for him to not travel with the team to Cincinnati. With Reynolds and Garrett Wilson (knee) both ruled out for Week 8, the Jets' wide receiver corps will consist of rookie fourth-rounder Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams. The Jets are on a bye for Week 9, so Reynolds will have additional time to recover ahead of Week 10 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Officially cleared for Week 8
McLaurin (quadriceps) doesn't have a designation in advance of Monday's game against the Chiefs.
McLaurin's return in Week 8 will end a four-game absence due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained against the Raiders in Week 3. He and fellow wideout Deebo Samuel (heel) were full participants in practice all week, and their returns will boost a Commanders offense that will have Marcus Mariota serve as the starting quarterback in the absence of Jayden Daniels (hamstring). With McLaurin and Samuel back in the fold, there will be less targets to go around for the likes of Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey and Zach Ertz.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Good to go for Week 8
Samuel (heel) doesn't have a designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Chiefs.
Samuel was able to play through a heel injury during the Commanders' Week 6 win over the Chargers, but it prevented him from playing against the Cowboys in Week 7. The seventh-year pro was able to string together a full week of practices, and he and fellow wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will both suit up against Kansas City on Monday. The returns of Samuel and McLaurin will give the Commanders a much-needed boost on offense with Marcus Mariota under center after Jayden Daniels (hamstring) was ruled out for Week 8.

Jalen Brooks WR | ARI
Jalen Brooks: Cut with injury settlement
The Cowboys cut Brooks (knee) from the practice squad with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Brooks was placed on the practice-squad injured list Wednesday but will now be free to look for a new opportunity elsewhere after appearing in one game with Dallas this season.
