The Eagles elevated Jones to the active roster Saturday.

Jones was able to haul in his lone target for three yards in the Eagles' 31-17 win over the Dolphins in Week 7, but he played just 16 offensive snaps. After Quez Watkins (hamstring) was placed on IR on Oct. 17, Jones was signed to the team's practice squad to provide depth behind A.J. Brown -- whom Jones played with in Tennessee in 2021 -- DeVonta Smith and Olamide Zaccheaus. With another week of practice and reps under Jones' belt, the 2011 first-round pick could see more opportunities Sunday against the Commanders.

The Chargers elevated Erickson to the active roster Saturday.

It's the first time Erickson has been called up from the practice squad since joining the Chargers on Aug. 30. The move could be a precautionary one, with Joshua Palmer (knee) listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

The Vikings signed Jackson to their active roster Saturday.

Jackson was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad for the third time of the season for Week 7 against the 49ers, when he played on special teams and managed to haul in his lone target for seven yards. With his maximum number of elevations being filled out, coupled with key injures to wide receivers Jalen Nailor (hamstring) and Justin Jefferson (hamstring), the team elected to sign Jackson to its active roster. He'll continue to see work on special teams and could see more snaps on offense over the next few games.

Skowronek (Achilles) is questionable for Week 8 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Skowronek has been dealing with an Achilles injury for several weeks but has yet to miss a game. He logged a trio of limited practices this week and will head into Sunday with a questionable designation for the second straight contest. The wideout has served a minor role in Los Angeles' passing game this season, recording two catches on five targets for 13 yards while adding one rush for 11 yards through seven games.

Isabella was reverted back to the Bills' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The 2019 second-round pick was promoted to Buffalo's active roster ahead of the team's Thursday night affair, but he's since been reverted back to the practice squad. Isabella has recorded 33 receptions for 447 yards and three touchdowns throughout his five-year NFL career.

Pascal (neck) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Baltimore, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Pascal sat out Week 7 action with a neck injury, but it looks like he'll be ready to suit up in Week 8. He's drawn more than one target in only one game this season, back in Week 4 at San Francisco.

Dortch (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Baltimore, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Dortch missed practice Friday with an ankle injury he presumably sustained during the week, putting his status for Week 8 in limbo. If he can't play Sunday, it will likely force Arizona to lean a bit more on Rondale Moore out of the slot.

Montgomery (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Zach Cox of New England Sports Network reports.

The 30-year-old running back dealt with knee and personal issues throughout the week, but it seems as if he was able to move past those setbacks, as he was a full participant in Friday's practice. Through seven games, Montgomery has recorded 127 return yards as the Patriots' primary kick returner.

Lockett (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday after being listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

According to Condotta, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Lockett made it through practice without any issues and is expected to be active ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. The wide receiver didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his absences may have been more so out of a matter of caution than a result of him not being healthy enough to participate. Still, cautious fantasy managers will want to check back in Sunday to make sure Lockett is active for his matchup with a tough Cleveland secondary.

Johnson (hamstring) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

According to head coach Sean Payton, Johnson will be a game-time decision after injuring his hamstring during Thursday's practice, per Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site. Given Johnson's inability to practice Friday and the high risk of further complications with playing through soft-tissue injuries, the wide receiver is more likely than not to sit out Sunday. Official word on Johnson's status will come when the Broncos release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
