Johnston (shin), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, appears likely to play after practicing fully Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though players who end the week with a full practice session typically end up playing in the subsequent game, Johnston's status won't be officially clarified until the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If he does suit up, Johnston will likely take on his usual key role in the Chargers' wideout corps alongside Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen.

Thomas (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is not expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Thomas logged a trio of limited practices this week as he tries to return from the ankle injury he suffered in a Week 9 win over Las Vegas. Despite the step forward in practice activity from the week before, Thomas still looks poised to miss a second straight contest to give his ankle more time to heal. Assuming Thomas is inactive, Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers are likely to work as the Jaguars' top two wideouts, with Dyami Brown slated for the No. 3 role. Thomas' ability to practice three times in limited fashion this week suggests that he has at least a decent chance of returning in Week 12 versus Arizona on Nov. 23.

Adams, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle due to an oblique injury, is likely to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The report seems to confirm Rams head coach Sean McVay's acknowledgement from Friday, when he relayed that he expected Adams to play. The veteran wideout missed practice Wednesday but was able to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting that his oblique issue isn't debilitating. If Adams does indeed participate in the big NFC West clash, he'll look to extend a three-game streak of getting into the end zone.

London (illness/back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, plans to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

London sat out the Falcons' first practice of the week before advancing to limited participation Thursday and Friday. The star wideout apparently feels well enough to try to play Sunday, though he may not be 100 percent while he manages both an illness and a back issue. London's availability -- if he does indeed play -- is a big deal for Atlanta's passing game, as he's exceeded 100 receiving yards in four of the past five games in which he's taken the field.

Ridley (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, is likely to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley missed each of Tennessee's past three games while dealing with an injured hamstring. He was able to log a trio of limited practices Wednesday through Friday following Tennessee's Week 10 bye, and the veteran wideout now seems ready to return to game action. If Ridley does indeed suit up Sunday, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and the other members of the Titans' wideout corps could each take a step down in the team's pass-catching pecking order.

The Broncos waived Sherfield on Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

The move comes after the Broncos signed Lil'Jordan Humphrey from the Giants' practice squad to the active roster Wednesday. Sherfield served in a depth role at wide receiver and posted three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards across 10 regular-season games. He could garner interest on the waiver wire from teams looking to add a wide receiver who can also contribute on special teams.

The Lions elevated Meeks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The elevation of Meeks gives the Lions additional depth at wide receiver in case rookie third-rounder Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) is unable to play against the Eagles on Sunday. It's Meeks' second elevation of the season, and during his first appearance against the Browns in Week 4 he played 13 snaps (four on offense, nine on special teams) without showing up in the box score otherwise.

The Lions elevated Kennedy from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Kennedy's elevation gives the Lions depth at wide receiver in case rookie third-rounder Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) is unable to play against the Eagles on Sunday. Kennedy appeared in four regular-season games in 2024, and he gives Detroit another option as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

The Giants elevated Cambre from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

It's the first time Cambre has been elevated to the Giants' active roster this season, and he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Packers. The undrafted rookie gives the Giants an additional return option on punts and an extra option at wide receiver in the absence of Darius Slayton (hamstring).

The Bills elevated Davis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Davis was taken off the practice squad injured list in late October after recovering from a lingering knee injury, and the 2020 fourth-rounder is poised to suit up for Buffalo for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Given his connection with Josh Allen during four seasons with the Bills, Davis could be utilized in the offensive gameplan alongside Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer, especially in the absence of tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). During the 2023 regular season with the Bills, Davis caught 45 passes (on 81 targets) for 746 yards and seven touchdowns across 17 games.
