The Saints elevated Callaway to the active roster Saturday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

This is the second time Callaway has been promoted to the active roster since he signed with the Saints' practice squad Nov. 21. He played 11 offensive snaps in Week 13 against the Lions without recording a stat. The move comes with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers after not practicing all week.

The Bears elevated Johnson to the active roster Saturday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson joined the Bears' practice squad Oct. 10 after being cut by the Giants in late August ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. The elevation comes with Chicago's wide receiver corps significantly banged up ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against the Lions. Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) are both questionable while Equanimeous St. Brown has been ruled out for Week 14 with a pectoral injury.

The 49ers signed Conley to their active roster Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The 31-year-old wideout is in line to appear in his fourth game of the year Sunday after signing with San Francisco's active roster Saturday. Conley has played 28 total snaps (19 offensive and nine on special teams) over his three appearances this season, and he'll likely serve as a depth piece in the 49ers' wide receiver room in Week 14.

Reed (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Reed was a limited participant in practice all week, but that was evidently enough to escape an injury designation Saturday. Christian Watson (hamstring) was predictably ruled out ahead of Monday's contest, which means Reed will likely be relied on to stretch the field and make explosive plays, something he did reliably in the beginning of the season. The rookie has tallied at least four receptions in all but one game dating back to Week 7, but he's averaging just 11.2 yards per reception after registering an eye-popping 16.9 yards per catch through the first four games of the season.

Watson (hamstring) was ruled out Saturday ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It would have been a surprise to see Watson, who missed three games to begin the season with a hamstring injury, active Monday despite reassurances from the dynamic receiver this one wasn't as severe as the one to start the 2023 campaign. Expect the likes of Jayden Reed (chest), Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks to shoulder the load in Watson's absence.

Winfree was waived by the Colts on Saturday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Winfree hadn't appeared in a game in almost a month, so it's no surprise that Indianapolis decided to part ways with the 27-year-old wideout. The fourth-year pro appeared in seven games for the Colts this season, failing to haul in his only target and playing 90 total snaps (21 offensive and 69 on special teams).

The Buccaneers elevated Moore from the practice squad Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

This is the third straight game Moore has been promoted from the practice squad, which means the Bucs would have to sign him to their active roster if they wanted to play him for the rest of the season. Moore hasn't registered a catch in his two appearances this season and his split has limited snaps between offense and special teams.

Campbell (knee) was added to the injury report Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Packers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Despite receiving a lucrative contract this past offseason, Campbell has been essentially demoted to return duties, as the veteran has played just 54 offensive snaps total dating back to Week 6. If the speedy wideout, who wasn't listed on the injury report prior to Saturday, is unable to play, Gunner Olszewski could step into the top returner role.

The Colts elevated Montgomery to their active roster Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Montgomery joined the Colts' practice squad Aug. 31 after being let go by the team two days prior ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. He has been called up from the practice squad the past two weeks and has mainly been utilized on special teams. Montgomery likely will continue to serve on special teams while also providing depth at wide receiver.

Cooper (ribs) cleared concussion protocol Saturday and is in line to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cooper, whom the Browns listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, was a limited participant in Friday's practice. Though he didn't practice fully at any point this week, he was apparently able to bypass a return to full-contact work and gained clearance from an independent neurologist -- the final state of the five-step concussion protocol. The Browns also predictably elevated Joe Flacco to the active roster, and while the team hasn't officially confirmed the veteran quarterback will make his second consecutive start, it seems likely Cooper will be catching passes from the 38-year-old Sunday. The 29-year-old wide receiver tallied three catches on five targets across 23 snaps before being forced out of last week's loss to the Rams, so fantasy managers shouldn't have many reservations slotting Cooper back into lineups.
