Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) wasn't listed on the Eagles' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Arcega-Whiteside was able to suit up against the 49ers after injuring his ankle in Week 1. The 24-year-old ended up only playing seven offensive snaps and has yet to record a target this season. The 2019 second-round pick will likely have limited involvement in the Eagles' passing attack once again in Week 3.

Higgins (shoulder) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Higgins officially is listed as doubtful after a limited practice Friday represented his only participation of the week. Coach Zac Taylor did suggest the Bengals would re-evaluate Higgins over the weekend, but there's no real expectation that he'll have improved enough to play. Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will lead the Cincinnati receiving corps this week, backed by Auden Tate and/or Mike Thomas filling in for the injured Higgins.

Hopkins appears to be in line to attempt to play through his rib injury Sunday against the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Meanwhile, Adam Schefter of ESPN notes that his sources indicate that the wideout is "pretty confident" he'll play, "but not 100 (percent he will)." Fortunately for those considering Hopkins in Week 3 fantasy lineups, the Cardinals kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday.

Thomas (illness/ankle) was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. He's still on the reserve/PUP list, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Thomas was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in September after a number of Saints coaches tested positive for the virus. Given the star wideout was already expected to miss the first six weeks of the season while recovering from June ankle surgery, the designation shouldn't dramatically change his recovery time. Thomas is first eligible to return Oct. 25 against the Seahawks following the team's Week 6 bye.

Dorsett was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

Dorsett hasn't played in an NFL game since 2019 and will likely provide depth at wide receiver with the Jaguars' entire pass-catching corps healthy ahead of Sunday's contest.

The Seahawks elevated Thompson to their active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.

Thompson will have a chance to make his NFL debut after being promoted to the Seahawks' active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings. The UDFA out of Toledo will provide depth to Seattle's wide receiver corps, as Dee Eskridge (concussion) is set to miss his second straight week.

The Steelers elevated White from their practice squad Saturday.

White has a chance to make his NFL debut after being elevated by the Steelers for Sunday's contest against the Bengals. The 23-year-old wideout will operate as a depth option with Diontae Johnson (knee) inactive. After the contest, he will revert back to the practice squad without having to pass through waivers.

Fehoko (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.

The same is true of fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs), so Fehoko's unlikely to play a role in Dallas' passing attack. The rookie fifth-round pick is yet to play a snap on offense in his career, having been limited exclusively to special teams duties through two weeks.

Cooper (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.

Cooper was banged up late in last week's win over the Chargers, but he was able to log full practices Friday and Saturday following a limited session Thursday to put any doubts about his Week 3 status to bed. He'll look for a performance closer to his dominant Week 1 showing (13 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns) than his quiet Week 2 (three catches for 24 yards).

Moore reverted to the Texans' practice squad Friday.

Moore was elevated from the practice squad to serve as depth at receiver with Danny Amendola (thigh) and Nico Collins (shoulder) unavailable for the Texans' Week 3 matchup against the Panthers. The 2016 fourth-rounder served mainly on special teams and played just two offensive snaps in the loss. Moore recorded a tackle on punt coverage, but he's unlikely to be a significant fantasy contributor if he rejoins the active roster at some point.
