Reed (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Reed was a limited participant in practice all week, but that was evidently enough to escape an injury designation Saturday. Christian Watson (hamstring) was predictably ruled out ahead of Monday's contest, which means Reed will likely be relied on to stretch the field and make explosive plays, something he did reliably in the beginning of the season. The rookie has tallied at least four receptions in all but one game dating back to Week 7, but he's averaging just 11.2 yards per reception after registering an eye-popping 16.9 yards per catch through the first four games of the season.

Watson (hamstring) was ruled out Saturday ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It would have been a surprise to see Watson, who missed three games to begin the season with a hamstring injury, active Monday despite reassurances from the dynamic receiver this one wasn't as severe as the one to start the 2023 campaign. Expect the likes of Jayden Reed (chest), Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks to shoulder the load in Watson's absence.

Winfree was waived by the Colts on Saturday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Winfree hadn't appeared in a game in almost a month, so it's no surprise that Indianapolis decided to part ways with the 27-year-old wideout. The fourth-year pro appeared in seven games for the Colts this season, failing to haul in his only target and playing 90 total snaps (21 offensive and 69 on special teams).

The Buccaneers elevated Moore from the practice squad Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

This is the third straight game Moore has been promoted from the practice squad, which means the Bucs would have to sign him to their active roster if they wanted to play him for the rest of the season. Moore hasn't registered a catch in his two appearances this season and his split has limited snaps between offense and special teams.

Campbell (knee) was added to the injury report Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Packers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Despite receiving a lucrative contract this past offseason, Campbell has been essentially demoted to return duties, as the veteran has played just 54 offensive snaps total dating back to Week 6. If the speedy wideout, who wasn't listed on the injury report prior to Saturday, is unable to play, Gunner Olszewski could step into the top returner role.

The Colts elevated Montgomery to their active roster Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Montgomery joined the Colts' practice squad Aug. 31 after being let go by the team two days prior ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. He has been called up from the practice squad the past two weeks and has mainly been utilized on special teams. Montgomery likely will continue to serve on special teams while also providing depth at wide receiver.

Cooper (ribs) cleared concussion protocol Saturday and is in line to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cooper, whom the Browns listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, was a limited participant in Friday's practice. Though he didn't practice fully at any point this week, he was apparently able to bypass a return to full-contact work and gained clearance from an independent neurologist -- the final state of the five-step concussion protocol. The Browns also predictably elevated Joe Flacco to the active roster, and while the team hasn't officially confirmed the veteran quarterback will make his second consecutive start, it seems likely Cooper will be catching passes from the 38-year-old Sunday. The 29-year-old wide receiver tallied three catches on five targets across 23 snaps before being forced out of last week's loss to the Rams, so fantasy managers shouldn't have many reservations slotting Cooper back into lineups.

Robinson secured one of three targets for 21 yards during the Steelers' 21-18 loss to the Patriots on Thursday.

Robinson was targeted twice earlier in Thursday's matchup, but his lone reception came on the final play of the game when the Steelers tried to pull off a miracle with a long field and no timeouts. He's now tallied double-digit receiving yards in four consecutive games, securing eight of 11 targets for 71 yards during that time. However, the 30-year-old's results haven't been enough to make him a fantasy-relevant option.

Eskridge (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after logging a limited practice session Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Eskridge sat out Thursday's practice with a rib injury and returned Friday in a limited capacity. The injury forced him to sit out the Seahawks' Week 13 loss to the Cowboys. If Eskridge is unable to play Sunday, Zach Charbonnet (knee) figures to be the next man up for kick return duties, assuming he's able to suit up for the contest.

Goodwin (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Goodwin had missed Cleveland's last four games with a concussion, but after a full practice session Friday, he also appears to have passed the final phase of the protocol for head injuries by gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. The 33-year-old wideout made eight appearances for the Browns this season, catching three of his 11 targets for 10 yards.
