The Dolphins signed Chosen to their active roster Saturday.

Chosen was elevated for Week 3 with Jaylen Waddle being ruled out with a concussion, and the former was able to haul in his lone target for a 68-yard touchdown from Mike White in the fourth quarter of the Dolphins' 70-20 blowout win over the Broncos. The addition of Chosen adds yet more speed and depth to a talented wide receiver corps behind Waddle and Tyreek Hill.

The Colts elevated Rodgers to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Rodgers' elevation is his first of the season. He projects to provide depth at receiver while also chipping in on special teams. It will be his first time suiting up since last season's stint with the Texans.

Hamler (pectoral/pericarditis) signed with the Colts' practice squad Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hamler underwent surgery in March to repair a partially torn pectoral before being diagnosed with pericarditis in late July. The latter issue led to him being waived by the Broncos with a non-football illness designation. His addition to the Colts' practice squad indicates his health is back up to par, so he will now look to make an impression at practice.

Harris was elevated to the Jaguars' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

This makes back-to-back weeks that Harris has been added to the active roster. He saw his first action of the season last week, when he logged seven offensive snaps and 17 on special teams. He projects to play a similar role Sunday versus the Falcons.

Thompson agreed to join the Seahawks' practice squad Friday, Tim Weaver of USA Today reports.

Thompson was waived earlier in the week in order to clear roster space that is now available again. He has spent the first five years of his career on both Seattle's active roster and practice squad. The 27-year-old has primarily been a special teams contributor this season.

Jennings (shin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Barring dramatic improvement leading up to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Jennings will miss his first game of the season after he sat out all three of the 49ers' practices this week due to the shin injury. Jennings' likely absence should open up more reps at receiver for Ronnie Bell and Ray-Ray McCloud. Both Bell and McCloud could be primed for even larger roles if top wideout Deebo Samuel (knee/ribs) -- who is listed as questionable -- isn't cleared to play.

Metcalf (ribs) was a full participant at Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf has been nursing a lingering rib injury, but his full participation at Friday's practice is a good sign for his status ahead of Monday's matchup with the Giants. He handled a lower snap share (72 percent) in Week 3 than he did the first couple games of the season, but he now appears to be trending in the right direction. Barring any setbacks, the fifth-year pass catcher is on track to take on his usual role on MNF.

Brown (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, with head coach Jonathan Gannon telling reporters that he wanted to observe the wideout in Friday's session before making any decisions for Sunday. Barring further updates, fantasy managers will want to treat Brown as a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. In the event Brown is inactive, added playing time would be on tap for Rondale Moore, Zach Pascal and Greg Dortch.

The Bengals placed Jones (thumb) on injured reserve Friday.

Jones, who suffered a thumb injury during Monday's win over the Rams, will thus miss at least four games, meaning the earliest he could be back in action is Nov. 5 against the Bills. While the 2023 fourth-round pick out of Purdue has been limited to one catch for six yards in three game to date, his absence represents a hit to the Bengals' special teams, as Jones has been serving as the team's primary punt returner.

Aiyuk (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Aiyuk has been practicing all week and might have been able to play in last week's game if the 49ers had played Sunday instead of Thursday. Deebo Samuel took advantage of Aiyuk's absence in the Week 3 win over the Giants with 126 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets, but the dual-threat receiver suffered a rib injury in the process and now is listed as questionable for Sunday's game between that and a knee injury. Facing a vulnerable defense without Samuel in the lineup is a best-case scenario for Aiyuk's expected production, though he still has sturdy touch and target competition coming from tight end George Kittle and running back Christian McCaffrey.
