Tim Jones WR | JAC
Jaguars' Tim Jones: Elevated to Jags' active roster
The Jaguars elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Jones will give the Jaguars additional depth at wide receiver in the absence of Brian Thomas (ankle). Jones was elevated for the Jaguars' Week 9 overtime win over the Raiders, when he played 15 snaps each on offense and special teams and caught one pass for 15 yards on as many targets.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Status in question for Monday
Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks is aiming for his first game action since Week 7, when he injured his calf during a win at Arizona. He wasn't able to log more than a limited session this week, leaving his status for Week 10 up in the air. Fellow WRs Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Savion Williams (foot) also are questionable, while Christian Watson (knee) and Malik Heath (hip) don't have designations. It remains to be seen who among Golden, Wicks and Williams are available along with Romeo Doubs, Watson and Heath on Monday.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Clear for MNF
Watson (knee) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game versus the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Even before making his season debut in Week 8 following last season's ACL tear from Week 18, Watson has been limited in practice, which extended into Saturday's session, but it won't impact his ability to suit up on game day. As for the rest of Green Bay's receiving corps, Romeo Doubs isn't injured, Malik Heath (hip) doesn't have a designation and all of Matthew Golden (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) are listed as questionable. Considering Watson definitely is available, he should be considered one of QB Jordan Love's top pass catchers for Week 10 action.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Officially questionable for Week 10
Golden (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Of the five Green Bay wide receivers on the Week 10 injury report, three of them are questionable, with Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) joining Golden, while Christian Watson (knee) and Malik Heath (hip) have no designations. At the very least, Romeo Doubs, Watson and Heath are slated to be available Monday, but Golden, who managed just one limited session (Thursday) this week, is "day-to-day," as coach Matt LaFleur told Hodkiewicz earlier Saturday. Golden's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Dante Pettis WR | NO
Saints' Dante Pettis: Elevated from practice squad
The Saints elevated Pettis to their active roster from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
Pettis is set to make his season debut after signing with New Orleans' practice squad early last month. The 30-year-old is expected to serve as the team's punt returner in Sunday's matchup, replacing Rashid Shaheed, who was traded to the Seahawks earlier in the week.

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Colts' Laquon Treadwell: Signed to active roster
The Colts signed Treadwell to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
Treadwell played exclusively on special teams during the two games he was elevated to the active roster for. However, the 2016 first-round pick could be in line for an increased role during Sunday's matchup versus the Falcons, as Anthony Gould is questionable with a knee injury.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Activated from injured reserve
The Browns activated Tillman (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.
Tillman was a full participant in practice during Week 10 prep, and while he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, the expectation is that the third-year wide receiver will play, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site. With Isaiah Bond (foot) ruled out, Tillman could see heavy usage in his return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 4 against the Lions.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: 'Fighting' to play Week 10
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Saturday that Golden is considered "day-to-day" due to a shoulder injury, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
"It's one of these deals where [Golden] is fighting to play. We'll see how he's feeling today whether he goes out and practices," LaFleur relayed Saturday. Golden sustained a shoulder injury during the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Panthers, which limited his practice participation Thursday before he sat out of Friday's session. The Packers are dealing with several injuries at wide receiver, and Saturday's practice report will indicate the game-day designations for Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot) and Malik Heath (hip).
-
Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Back at practice Friday
Williams (foot) was a limited participant at practice Friday.
Williams missed practice Thursday with a foot injury, so his activity Friday represents a step in the right direction ahead of Monday's game versus the Eagles. Even so, he'll likely have to practice in full Saturday to avoid getting tagged with an injury designation when Green Bay publishes its last practice report of the week.
-
Malik Heath WR | GB
Packers' Malik Heath: Tending to hip issue
Heath (hip) was a limited participant at practice Friday.
Heath was a full participant at practice Thursday, so it's not immediately obvious when he suffered the hip injury. Either way, he'll now probably need to practice in full Saturday to avoid being given an injury designation on Green Bay's final practice report of the week.
