The Jets elevated Charles from their practice squad Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Charles will get his first chance to suit up in an NFL contest this season after being activated for the Jets' season finale as a rookie last year. New York currently has a healthy wide receiver corps, so Charles isn't likely to see much (if any) action on offense Sunday versus Denver.

Harry has been elevated to Minnesota's active roster ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The 2019 first-round pick out of Arizona State was moved from the Vikings' practice squad to their active roster for the second week in a row. Expect Harry to play strictly on special teams, as he played six total snaps last week (none of which came on offense).

Covey (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Covey left Philadelphia's Week 4 win over Washington late with a head injury, but he's since cleared concussion protocol and has no injury designation this coming Sunday. The Utah product is the Eagles' main punt returner, tallying 151 return yards on nine chances this season.

Tennessee activated Philips (knee) from injured reserve on Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Philips began the regular season on IR after suffering an MCL injury in a preseason contest versus the Vikings. He appears to be fully recovered from the issue, as he was able to practice in full each day this week. Philips caught eight of 13 targets for 78 yards over four games in an injury-plagued rookie campaign last year, and he'll now look to work his way up a receiver depth chart that's headed by DeAndre Hopkins. Philips could play more than a minor role in his season debut Sunday with Treylon Burks ruled out with a knee injury.

The Jaguars placed Washington (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

Washington had already been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Buffalo due to a right knee injury, and he'll now need to sit out at least four games before he's able to get back on the field. The rookie wideout saw just one offensive snap and one special-teams snap in his NFL debut Week 4 versus Atlanta.

The Bengals elevated Lassiter from their practice squad Saturday.

This is the first time Lassiter has been elevated this season after returning to Cincinnati's practice squad in late August. The Kansas alum got into one contest with the Bengals last year, tallying eight offensive snaps and recording no stats in Week 12 against the Titans. Lassiter probably won't see a prominent role Sunday in Arizona, though his elevation may be an indication that Tee Higgins (ribs) is on the wrong side of questionable for the contest.

The Rams signed Trammell to their active roster Saturday.

Trammell had been elevated from the practice squad each of the previous three weeks, so Los Angeles was required to sign him to the active roster in order to have him for gameday again. The third-year wideout has worked almost exclusively on special teams this year, logging just one offensive snap in Week 2 versus San Francisco. Trammell also saw some punt return work in Week 4, and he could be used in that role more often moving forward.

Adams (shoulder) is expected to practice in some capacity Saturday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

It remains to be seen what level of practice participation Adams will garner, but given the All-Pro target returned to Sunday's game after injuring his shoulder, it would be surprising if the veteran ultimately wasn't deemed healthy enough to play against his former team Monday night. Expect more information to be revealed in the coming hours.

Kupp (hamstring) has been activated off injured reserve Saturday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles.

The All-Pro receiver is thus set to take the field with a new-look Rams offense that has generated plenty of potent plays with previously unheralded rookie Puka Nacua and 2021 second-round pick Tutu Atwell. Expect Kupp to be a featured target, but perhaps not to the level of past seasons given the emergence of the aforementioned duo.

Covey (concussion) is listed as questionable to play against the Rams on Sunday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Covey entered concussion protocol Monday after suffering a head injury late in Sunday's win over Washington. He didn't practice Wednesday but promisingly followed a limited session Thursday with a full practice Friday. That seems to give Covey a good chance of playing Sunday -- if he's able to do so, he'll likely continue to feature as the Eagles' primary punt returner.
