McLaurin (quadriceps), who is listed out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, could be at risk of being sidelined through the Commanders' Week 12 bye, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After missing four straight games due to a quadriceps injury, McLaurin suffered an aggravation in his return to action in Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs. The Commanders quickly ruled him out ahead of their Week 9 contest, and the wideout also appears likely to be held out for next Sunday's matchup with the Lions. Rapoport suggests that with a Week 12 bye on the horizon, the Commanders could be motivated to keep McLaurin sidelined for their Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins in Madrid to give the 30-year-old additional time to heal. For however long McLaurin is out, more volume in the passing attack will be available for wideout Deebo Samuel and tight end Zach Ertz, as well as the Commanders' other depth receivers.

Burton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

The 2024 third-rounder has been a healthy scratch for the first nine games of the regular season. Burton's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 16, but he's unlikely to play unless the Bengals need depth at wide receiver or a returner on kickoffs.

Oliver (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Oliver is set to miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Rams. The Titans are on a bye Week 10, so he'll have extra time to recover and return for Week 11 against the Texans on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Kupp (heel/hamstring), who is officially questionable to play Sunday versus Washington, is not expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coming out of a Week 8 bye, Kupp first appeared on the injury report Wednesday due to a heel injury, and he was then listed with an additional hamstring issue Thursday. After not practicing Friday, he entered the weekend deemed questionable, and he looks to be trending toward missing his first game of the season. With Kupp on track to sit out, rookie Tory Horton will likely move into the No. 2 wideout role behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba for Seattle. With depth wideouts Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quadriceps) already ruled out, the Seahawks elevated Cody White and Ricky White from their practice squad to round out the position group.

Shaheed, who is questionable to play against the Rams on Sunday due to a hip injury, is likely to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Shaheed logged season-high marks with nine catches and 12 targets last Sunday against Tampa Bay but also suffered a hip injury. He logged a trio of limited practices this week, which appears to be enough for him to play Sunday. Shaheed will thus likely work in his usual No. 2 wideout role behind Chris Olave.

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

McCloud joined the Giants' practice squad Oct. 23 and is likely to make his team debut in Week 9 against the 49ers. His primary contribution could be as a kick returner, as he's tallied 91 kick-return yards across four games this season.

Bandy was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

With Marvin Mims (concussion) being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Bandy has been elevated to the active roster for what could be his first regular-season game as a Bronco. The wide receiver finished the preseason with six catches for 59 yards while logging 13 yards on two punt returns. Bandy will likely operate in a reserve capacity as the second punt returner behind Riley Moss. He will also be the fifth wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Trent Sherfield.

White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The undrafted free agent out of UNLV could see his first NFL opportunity Sunday night, replacing the injured Dareke Young and Jake Bobo in a substantial special teams capacity, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

White has played five offensive snaps and six special teams snaps to this point in 2025, and he will look to continue to accumulate playing time during the Seahawks' Week 9 matchup with the Commanders. The 26-year-old wide receiver was elevated to fill in on special teams for the injured Dareke Young and Jake Bobo, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Burks was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Burks joined the Commanders' practice squad in mid-October after a lengthy recovery from a collarbone injury. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out, Burks has the chance to be active for the first time since Week 6 of the 2024 campaign.
