Snead was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the 49ers on Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Snead has appeared in two games this season since being released by the 49ers on Aug. 29 and then signing with the team's practice squad Sept. 1. The ninth-year pro has one catch for nine yards on eight snaps in 2023.

Taylor was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the Jets on Saturday.

The wide receiver was also elevated for the team's Week 9 game against the Chargers. Over two appearances this season, Taylor has one catch for seven yards on two targets.

Turner was elevated off the practice squad by the Raiders on Saturday.

The wide receiver signed with Las Vegas' practice squad Oct. 16 and now has been elevated from it for three weeks in a row. The second-year pro has played in 11 games and 24 offensive snaps over two NFL seasons. Turner has yet to record a catch in the league.

The Seahawks activated Young (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Young was placed on IR on Sept. 4 after he sustained a groin injury during training camp and underwent surgery. He was able to get some full practice sessions in leading up to Sunday's game against the Commanders and is set to suit up for the contest. Young should provide depth at wide receiver behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Jefferson (hamstring) wasn't activated from injured reserve Saturday and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell tipped his hand about Jefferson's status earlier this week, when he suggested it would be "a little aggressive" for the receiver to play Week 10 when first eligible to return from IR. Though Jefferson was able to practice in a limited fashion this week and had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend, he'll ultimately miss his fifth consecutive game. Jordan Addison and Brandon Powell will likely play prominent roles Sunday, especially if wideout K.J. Osborn (concussion) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) are unable to suit up. Jefferson's next chance to play will come Week 11 against the Broncos on Nov. 19.

Diggs (back) wasn't listed on the team's final Week 10 injury report Saturday and is cleared for Monday's contest against the Broncos.

Diggs was added to Friday's injury report with a back injury, but fantasy managers can breathe easier now that the star wideout doesn't carry a designation into Monday's contest. For what it's worth, Diggs was listed as a limited participant in practice for a second consecutive day, so while he'll play, the 29-year-old receiver does appear to be dealing with a legitimate injury. Diggs seemed to dismiss the idea that his injury was anything serious, however, per joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Expect Diggs to see his usual workload in a potential juicy matchup against an up-and-down Denver defense.

Jones (thumb) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Texans, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Bengals designated Jones to return from IR on Wednesday. Although the team will be without Tee Higgins, (hamstring) plus Ja'Marr Chase (back) is listed as questionable, Jones will wait at least another week before making his return. Cincinnati called up wide receivers Shed Jackson and Stanley Morgan from the practice squad Saturday.

The Browns elevated Watkins to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Watkins has spent the season on the Browns' practice squad after being cut by the team ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. He's bounced around other practice squads the last two seasons and has not had the opportunity to suit up for a regular-season game. That could change Sunday with wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee) both out for Week 10.

The Bengals elevated Morgan from the practice squad Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

It's the second time Morgan has been promoted to the active roster since signing with the Bengals' practice squad Aug. 31. In his first appearance Week 9 against the Bills, Morgan played 10 special teams snaps. His elevation comes with Tee Higgins (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans and Ja'Marr Chase (back) listed as questionable.

Samuel (toe), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel practiced on a limited basis all week and looks poised to suit up Sunday even though he might be less than 100 percent healthy. The veteran receiver had been a critical part of the team's passing attack, recording at least four receptions in each of the past five games before missing last Sunday's win over the Patriots.
