Reynolds (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, is considered "good to go," Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Along with Reynolds, the Lions are also listing Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) as questionable, but both wideouts look as though they'll be ready to handle their normal workloads Sunday. Considering that Reynolds was at least able to practice fully Friday before taking the questionable tag into the weekend, he may be in better health than St. Brown, who plans to play with a steel plate in his shoe to reduce pain. Official confirmation on the availability of Reynolds and St. Brown will arrive when the Lions release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's cleared of the injury designation as anticipated, Reynolds may shape up as a solid lineup option in deeper leagues. Through the first two weeks of the season, he's hauled in nine of 13 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

Toney (toe) is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After sitting out practices Wednesday and Thursday, Toney returned to the field Friday as a limited participant and took a questionable tag into the weekend. He'll go through a pregame workout early Sunday before the Chiefs determine whether he'll suit up or be inactive for the Week 3 contest. The Chiefs will release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

St. Brown (toe) is expected to suit up versus the Falcons on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

St. Brown is listed as questionable for Week 3 despite having practiced in full Friday, but the expectation is that he'll be on the field versus Atlanta. Official word on St. Brown's status should come roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when Detroit releases its inactive list. There's a chance St. Brown faces some workload limitations, however, considering that he plans to play with a steel plate in his shoe. Moreover, the Lions will next have a short turnaround for Week 4, with a Thursday night matchup against the Packers on deck.

Metcalf (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Metcalf played through the rib injury for much of last week's win over Detroit before missing practices Wednesday and Thursday. Metcalf was a full practice participant Friday, so Schefter's report adds credence to the notion that he'll play Sunday. However, official word on Metcalf's status won't arrive until Seattle releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Chiefs elevated Washington from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

A fifth-round pick of the Broncos in 2022, Washington was cut by the team during roster cut-downs in late August. Shortly thereafter, Kansas City signed him to its practice squad, but now that Richie James (knee) has landed on IR, Washington has been brought up to the active roster, likely to serve as the Chiefs' primary returner Sunday against the Bears. Washington averaged 8.5 yards on 32 punt returns and 18.9 yards on 18 kick returns in 15 games last season.

The Chiefs placed James (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

James failed to log a practice all week while dealing with an MCL injury. He played in just three offensive snaps in Week 2 against the Jaguars but plays an important role as the Chiefs' primary returner on special teams. He'll be forced to sit out for at least the next four games and is eligible to return in Week 7 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 22.

Hopkins (ankle) is in line to play Sunday at Cleveland, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Hopkins has been tending to an ankle injury since the beginning of Week 2 prep, but he was able to suit up last Sunday against the Chargers and hauled in four of five targets for 40 yards. He opened this week with a full practice Wednesday, only to be limited Thursday before sitting out Friday's session entirely. Despite the lack of activity to end the week, Hopkins was given a questionable designation for Sunday, and it appears active status will be confirmed for him about 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Vikings elevated Jackson to their active roster Saturday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The move corresponds with the Vikings placing wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday. Nailor played all 35 of his snaps on special teams in the first two games of the season and it's likely that Jackson will fill in that role for the Vikings' Week 3 contest against the Chargers on Sunday.

The Dolphins elevated Chosen to the active roster Saturday.

The move corresponds with Jaylen Waddle (concussion) being ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Broncos. Chosen was cut by the Dolphins on Aug. 29 but opted to join their practice squad Sept. 4. He played for the Cardinals and Panthers last season and registered 20 catches for 282 yards and a touchdown in 16 games.

Waddle (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Waddle was unable to pass the five-step concussion protocol, so expect River Cracraft and Braxton Berrios to see more playing time. The Dolphins also called up Robbie Chosen from the practice squad, and it's possible the speedster could also be used as the Dolphins attempt to get by without their stud receiver.
