Nacua (hip) isn't expected to have limitations on his workload during Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Having said that, the Rams will keep an eye on Nacua's conditioning once he steps on the field, something that ultimately could impact his snap count, but they're operating under the assumption that he's good for his typical allotment, when healthy. He missed the last two games due to what was listed by the team as a hip issue but head coach Sean McVay termed "soreness in his groin" unrelated to the psoas discomfort that he tended to in training camp. In his only appearance this season in Week 1 versus the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, Nacua handled 70 percent of the offensive snaps and reeled in five of nine targets for 74 yards.

Coker (quadriceps) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday night's game against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coker previously played through an ankle issue in Weeks 2 and 3 before a strained quadriceps caused an early exit from last Sunday's loss at Cleveland. He then followed a DNP on Wednesday with back-to-back limited sessions to cap Week 4 prep, leaving him questionable heading into the weekend. If Coker is listed among the Panthers' inactives Sunday night, the likes of Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie, David Moore and Ja'seem Reed will be the wide receivers available behind clear No. 1 Tetairoa McMillan.

Evans (ribs) has said "he'll do his best to be out there" Sunday against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Evans exited in the second quarter of last Sunday's win versus the Cardinals after taking a big hit from Arizona safety Budda Baker and wasn't able to return. Evans then managed just one limited practice Friday before being listed as questionable for Week 4 action. Head coach Kyle Shanahan told Vic Tafur of The Athletic at the end of the week that Evans was lining up to be a game-time decision, and a pregame workout ultimately may determine his availability ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

McConkey (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Seattle, is likely to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McConkey was limited at Wednesday's session due to a foot injury and then didn't practice at Thursday, after which he was seen exhibiting a limp, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. McConkey again was limited Friday before drawing a questionable tag for Week 4 action. The current health concern isn't considered as serious as the rib issue he dealt with earlier this season, per Rapoport, so he should be good for his usual No. 1 WR role in the Chargers offense Sunday, assuming he's active.

Flowers (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Flowers carried a questionable tag into the weekend due to a lingering hamstring issue, but he's slated to suit up in Week 4 for a second straight week. Last Sunday against the Cowboys in Brazil, he handled a 33 percent snap share and hauled in five of six targets) for 84 yards, but per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Flowers isn't expected to be on a "pitch count" this Sunday, so he appears set for a full workload.

The Rams signed Bachman from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Saturday.

Bachman spent a portion of training camp with the Rams before signing to the practice squad in early September. He's evidently made a positive impression, as Los Angeles has elected to promote him to the active roster despite the fact that he's yet to see gameday action this season. Bachman will assume the roster spot vacated by tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle), who landed on IR on Friday. However, Bachman doesn't stand to see many opportunities on offense with the Rams currently fielding a relatively healthy wideout corps.

Brown (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Monday's Week 4 matchup against Atlanta.

Brown missed last Sunday's loss to Las Vegas due to a hamstring injury. However, he logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week and has been cleared to suit up Monday. Brown's primary role for the Saints this season has been as a kick and punt returner, and he has no targets on offense so far while logging nine offensive snaps through two games.

Humphrey signed a practice-squad contract with the Broncos on Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Humphrey was released by Denver on Friday but quickly inked a deal to remain in the organization. However, Gabriel notes that the Broncos aren't elevating anyone for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco, so Humphrey won't be active while he resides on the practice squad. The veteran wideout has logged just three offensive snaps so far this season and didn't catch his only target.

The Panthers elevated Reed from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

If Reed gets into Sunday's matchup versus Detroit, it will be the first regular-season action of his NFL career. The 23-year-old spent all of last season on Carolina's practice squad but wasn't elevated at any point. Reed's opportunity comes after Xavier Legette (knee) was placed on IR on Saturday, and Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup.

The Jets elevated Shepard from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Shepard is set to suit up on game day for the second straight week. Last Sunday in Detroit, the veteran wideout logged a healthy workload of 30 offensive snaps -- third-most among New York wideouts -- and caught his only target for three yards. Shepard could also garner a significant role this Sunday with Adonai Mitchell again ruled out due to a finger injury.
