The Vikings won't activate Jefferson (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, ruling him out for Sunday's game against Denver, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jefferson has been a limited participant in practice since the Vikings designated him for return last Wednesday, but the star wideout still isn't ready to return to game action. His next chance to return to action will come Week 12 against the Bears on Nov. 27, after which Minnesota will have a bye. If the team still isn't 100 percent certain about Jefferson's health by Week 12, the Vikings could have additional incentive to keep him off the 53-man roster for another game. In any case, Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell will lead the Vikings' wide receiver room until Jefferson is ready to return.

The Chargers elevated Bynum to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Bynum will join Los Angeles' active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver, with both Keenan Allen (shoulder) and Jalen Guyton (groin) listed as questionable for Sunday's affair. Bynum, a rookie wideout, has yet to appear in his first NFL game after recording 1,093 receiving yards over the course of his collegiate career.

The Chargers elevated Erickson to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Erickson was likely added to the Chargers' active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver, as both Keenan Allen (shoulder) and Jalen Guyton (groin) are listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The veteran wideout has spent the majority of the year on Los Angeles' practice squad, and his most recent in-game action came back in 2022 with the Commanders.

The Jaguars activated Washington (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.

Washington hurt his knee against the Falcons in Week 4 and was placed on IR soon thereafter. That Week 4 contest has been his only game action of the season, and he logged just one offensive snap and one special-teams snap before getting hurt. Washington doesn't figure to see much action as a receiver upon his return, though he could be immediately featured as a kick and/or punt returner with Jamal Agnew (shoulder) landing on IR on Saturday.

Jacksonville placed Agnew (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.

Agnew hurt his shoulder in this past Sunday's loss to San Francisco, and his move to IR means he'll need to sit out at least four games. The veteran wideout has worked as the Jaguars' primary kick and punt returner this season while also tallying nine catches on 12 targets for 90 yards as a receiver. Parker Washington (knee) was activated from IR in a corresponding move and could take Washington's place as both a return man and depth wideout.

Pascal (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The 28-year-old wide receiver failed to log a single practice this week, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive for Sunday's contest. Greg Dortch has a chance to see increased opportunities on Arizona's offense in Pascal's stead.

Young (abdomen) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Young will miss his 10th game of the season in Week 11, this time due to an abdominal injury he sustained in Week 10 versus the Commanders. Dee Eskridge could see a couple extra snaps at receiver Sunday as a result of Young's absence.

Jeudy (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Vikings after practicing fully Friday.

Jeudy was added to the Broncos' Week 11 injury report Thursday after being listed as a limited participant at practice with a hip injury, but the wideout was able to log all on-field work Friday, setting the stage for him to face Minnesota on Sunday. In eight games to date this season, Jeudy has compiled a 30-371-1 line on 43 targets, a rate of production that's down from his pace during the 2022 season, when he hauled in 67 of his 100 targets for 972 yards and six TDs in 15 contests.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll suggested Friday that Lockett (hamstring) is truly questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett was listed as questionable with the same injury three weeks ago, when he put up an 8-81-1 line on Cleveland's top-notch secondary. He then avoided a game designation the past two weeks, but it sounds like his status is up in the air this time around after being held out of practice three days in a row. Carroll mentioned that the wide receiver did some running Friday and told reporters that he'll take things day by day with Lockett ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. A matchup with the division-leading 49ers four days later also could be a factor here, though losing to the Rams on Sunday would make it tough for the Seahawks to win any NFC West tiebreakers unless they win both of their games against the 49ers over the ensuing three weeks. Seattle has a brutal stretch of games after Sunday, facing the Niners, Cowboys, Niners and Eagles over the following four contests.

Guyton (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Guyton appears to have picked up the groin issue in practice, as he was a late addition to the Week 11 injury report after a limited practice Friday. Fellow wide receiver Keenan Allen (shoulder) also is listed as questionable while tight end Gerald Everett (chest) has been ruled out, so the Chargers' passing game could be shorthanded Sunday.
