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

Dortch joined the Bills' practice squad Aug. 31 after being released by the Lions. The wide receiver has likely been elevated to handle punt return duties, with the team's current listed returner being starting slot cornerback Dee Alford.

The Ravens elevated Moore from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Devontez Walker (groin) listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Moore has a chance to suit up as a depth addition to the Ravens' wide receiver corps as the team takes on the Colts. Moore played in 14 regular-season games for the Commanders in 2025, catching 11 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown.

The Raiders elevated White from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

White is set to suit up for the Raiders because the team has three wide receivers currently on injured reserve. Dont'e Thornton (undisclosed), Justin Shorter (undisclosed) and Corey Rucker (undisclosed) all must miss at least four games, allowing White to show out as a valuable depth option for the receiving corps and special teams unit.

The Packers elevated Melton from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Melton is all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Vikings as a temporary replacement for Savion Williams (ankle) as he recovers from his injury on IR. Melton played in 16 regular-season games for the Packers in 2025, catching four passes for 107 yards and a touchdown. The wide receiver also played 186 special teams snaps, making him a versatile elevation for the Week 1 divisional showdown.

The Jets placed Patrick (groin) on injured reserve Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Patrick was ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest after Friday's practice. The wide receiver's groin injury seems to be lingering, so the 32-year-old will spend some time on IR. Patrick will be eligible to return from IR after four games, meaning Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith will likely see a greater share of reserve opportunities with the Jets' wide receiver corps.

The Saints have elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Austin signed with the Saints' practice squad Sept. 2 after being waived by the team on cutdown day. The wide receiver will likely see minimal targets, as he is set to be the fifth option. If Austin does see the field, the majority of his snaps will likely occur on special teams.

The Giants signed Cambre to a contract Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The Giants waived Cambre during cutdown day before signing the wide receiver to the practice squad Sept. 2. The second-year player out of Louisiana will likely be a reserve option if Malik Nabers (knee) has not quite recovered enough from his 2025 ACL tear to suit up.

The Lions and St. Brown agreed to a restructured contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per Spotrac, $26 million of St. Brown's salary was converted into a signing bonus, which alone created $20.8 million in cap space to give the Lions more flexibility for the next two seasons. St. Brown has been one of the most productive receivers since being selected by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, having logged 100-plus catches and 1,000-plus receiving yards in each of the last four years. He finished the 2025 regular season with 117 catches (on a career-high 172 targets) for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns across 17 games. He'll once again lead a Lions pass-catching group that also includes Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa and Sam LaPorta.

The Eagles placed Gray (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Friday.

It's unclear what type of injury Gray is working through, nor when he picked it up, but his placement on the injured list means he is not eligible to be called up to the active roster for at least four games. The Eagles signed Xavier Gipson to the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Cowing returned two punts for 17 yards in the 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams in Week 1.

Cowing also saw five snaps on offense but wasn't' targeted by Brock Purdy. With De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) injured against the Rams and Ricky Pearsall (knee) out for the season, Cowing is looking like the Niners' current WR4 behind Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and Demarcus Robinson.
