Sherfield (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Sherfield was able to increase his workload at practice as the week went on and he'll be able to go Sunday against New York. The wide receiver has been limited to just one catch for nine yards over the last three games.

Wilson (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Wilson practiced in a limited fashion this past week and headed into to the contest listed as questionable, but on Friday the wideout relayed that he planned to play Sunday. With his active status now confirmed, Wilson should continue to lead the Jets' wideout corps in Week 11, though the 2022 first-rounder did acknowledge that his elbow issue could hamper him some. To what degree remains to be seen, but assuming he's able to handle his normal snap allotment, or close to it, Wilson - who's recorded at least seven catches and 12 targets in each of his last four contests - will have a chance to maintain his high-volume role in the team's passing game.

Slayton has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders with an arm injury, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. He recorded four catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on five targets prior to his departure.

The Giants initially listed Slayton as questionable to return to the contest after he took a big hit to his right arm on a third-down play on the Giants' final possession of the first half, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. He wasn't on the field for the Giants' first drive of the second half, however, and was downgraded to out. The Giants should offer more details on the extent of Slayton's injury in the days to come, but for now, his status will bear watching heading into the team's Week 12 game versus New England.

Lockett (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams.

For five weeks running, Lockett has been impacted by a lingering hamstring injury, which didn't allow him to practice at all during Week 11 prep. A questionable designation for Sunday's game followed, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Lockett was in line to suit up. With his availability now confirmed, Lockett will be looking to improve upon his 2-10-0 line on four targets that he put up against L.A.'s defense back in the season opener.

Samuel was ejected from Sunday's game against the Giants for his role in a fight that occurred late in the second quarter, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. He'll finish the game with one catch for five yards on two targets.

The fight occurred in the aftermath of Sam Howell's eight-yard touchdown run, when some Commanders players took offense to a late hit Howell took while crossing the goal line. Samuel and Giants cornerback Cor'Dale Flott were tossed from the contest for their involvement in the fight.

Hill (hand) returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

After injuring his hand, Hill headed to the locker room to get his injury checked out but was subsequently able to return to the contest. Prior to his first-half exit, Hill had caught all seven of his targets for 80 yards and a TD.

Hill headed to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Raiders with an apparent hand injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Prior to his departure from the contest, Hill had caught all seven of his targets for 80 yards and a TD. In his absence, Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson are in line to lead the Dolphins' Week 11 WR corps.

Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest with the Lions, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Jones will be a healthy scratch for a second straight week as Chicago squares off with Detroit. The wide receiver has been limited to just three catches for nine yards over the eight contests he's appeared in this season.

Cooks (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

With Zay Jones returning to Jacksonville's wide receiver corps Sunday, it's not a surprise Cooks won't suit up in Week 11. The 25-year-old has appeared in four games for the Jaguars this season, playing a total of 52 snaps (39 offensive and 13 on special teams) and failing to record a single stat.

Brown, who is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, isn't expected to require a long-term recovery from his knee injury and could be fully healed in 1-to-2 weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brown wasn't able to practice in any fashion this week after he emerged from his big performance in the Texans' Week 10 win over the Bengals with the injury. Fortunately, the knee concern isn't a significant one, and Brown should have a realistic chance at returning to action Week 12 against the Jaguars on Nov. 26 if he can practice in some fashion leading up to the contest. Over his last two outings, Brown has produced a 13-325-1 receiving line on 14 targets, perhaps cementing himself as a regular in three-wide sets over Robert Woods in the process.
