The Bengals elevated Morgan to the active roster Saturday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Morgan played 11 games for the Bengals last season, catching three of 10 targets for 18 yards on 146 offensive snaps. He's spent the entire season on Cincinnati's practice squad, but he'll get an opportunity Sunday versus the Steelers because John Ross (foot) is now on IR.

Lazard (abdomen) was not activated off injured reserve Saturday and thus will not be able to play Week 10, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lazard wasn't seen at practice Friday, which seemed to indicate the Packers wouldn't be activating the talented wideout ahead of the team's Week 10 tilt. Expect another dose of Marquez Valdes-Scantling operating as the No. 2 option with Equanimeous St. Brown (knee), Malik Taylor and Darrius Shepherd providing additional depth at the position. It's worth noting the team seems to feel confident Lazard will be ready for Week 11, which would mark his first start since late September.

The Packers elevated Winfree to the active roster Saturday.

Winfree will make his Packers debut Sunday against the Jaguars. The team needs the depth because Allen Lazard (abdomen) isn't quite ready, and both Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) and Darrius Shepherd (shoulder) are considered questionable. If neither is active, Winfree will line up as the No. 4 receiver, and that will come with even more responsibility if tight end Robert Tonyan (ankle) is out.

The Bears have listed Robinson (knee) as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Vikings.

Robinson practiced in limited fashion for the third consecutive day Saturday and is looking like a true game-time decision. It should be noted the Bears have a Week 11 bye, so they could opt to err on the side of caution with their star receiver so he can have an extra week to recover. If he does ultimately sit the contest out, Darnell Mooney and Anthony Miller would be the team's primary pass catchers, while Riley Ridley and Dwayne Harris could also see some extra work.

The Buccaneers placed Mickens on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It is unclear if Mickens has tested positive for the illness or if he has just had close contact with someone who has. His absence for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers is not expected to make a difference in the team's offensive game plan.

Scott worked out for the Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Scott, who played at Clemson with Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, previously worked out for Houston. He's kicked around NFL practice squads for three seasons, aligning with the Chargers, Cowboys and Colts since coming out early in 2017. The Texans are well stocked at wide receiver, so they could be looking at Scott as a potential returner. He received considerable experience returning punts and kickoffs at Clemson. Houston currently ranks middle of the pack in both punt (8.0 YPR, 17th) and kickoff returns (20.8, 20th).

Kupp (oblique) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Seattle, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Following a Week 9 bye, Kupp was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a full session Friday. He should be ready for his usual workload come Sunday, facing a Seahawks defense that's repeatedly been torched by quarterbacks and wide receivers.

Cracraft (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Cracraft upgraded to limited participation for Friday's practice, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday. In last week's loss to the Packers, he handled an 89 percent snap share and received five targets, but his usage is set to shrink in Week 10 if he's able to play, as Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne have both been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Taylor (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Taylor practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday, so he should be good to go barring a setback. The 26-year-old wideout was left out of the equation in last week's loss to the Packers when Richie James stepped up, and he could be pushed further down the depth chart with Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne both returning to action.

Hart (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Hart has mainly served as wide receiver depth this season, playing just a handful of offensive snaps and receiving no targets through six games. His availability is important for Sunday's divisional tilt, however, as rookie Freddie Swain (foot) is considered questionable. The Seahawks have only three fully healthy receivers, and their backfield is banged up as well. If Hart's able to play but Swain can't go, the former should get some tread behind Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and David Moore.
