The Eagles activated Cooper (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Giants.

Cooper hurt his shoulder in Week 3 against the Rams and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a pair of full practices to end the week, though he's still questionable to play Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, Cooper had a minor role on offense, logging 20 offensive snaps over three games without seeing a target. However, if he's able to suit up Sunday, Cooper could be a bit more involved since top wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out.

The Buccaneers elevated Bazelak from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus New Orleans, Scott Smith of Tampa Bay's official site reports.

Bazelak signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent in May and ended up on the team's practice squad after being waived in late August. While neither of the team's top two quarterbacks -- Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater -- have an injury designation heading into Sunday, Mayfield dealt with a knee issue during the week and Bridgewater missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an issue with his teeth before participating in full Friday. Bazelak could end up being inactive as the emergency third QB for Sunday's clash against the Saints.

Payne (toe) is questionable to play against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

Payne didn't practice at all this week due to a toe injury. He's been deemed questionable to face Kansas City, and head coach Dan Quinn said Saturday, "He is dealing with a toe that's bothered him. So just kind of working through that to get him into that spot but I'll know more over the next day and a half," per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. If Payne isn't able to give it a go Monday, Eddie Goldman could be in line for more snaps at defensive tackle.

The Patriots elevated Jennings from their practice squad Saturday.

Jennings was also elevated each of the past two weeks. He played exclusive on special teams in Week 6 against New Orleans before logging eight offensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps last Sunday versus Tennessee, carrying five times for 18 yards. Jennings has now been elevated three times, so he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be eligible to suit up for the Patriots after this weekend.

The Bills activated Hairston (knee), who remains questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, off injured reserve Saturday.

Prior to Saturday, Hairston had been on IR all season after suffering an LCL sprain in his right knee in late July. The rookie cornerback was designated to return this past Monday and logged a trio of limited practices, though it's uncertain if he'll be active Sunday. Whenever Hairston gets into a game, it will be his NFL debut.

Thomas (migraine) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Denver.

Thomas has been dealing with a migraine for over a week. He was initially deemed questionable for Week 8 on Friday's injury report but has since been downgraded to out and won't travel to Denver. Markquese Bell started and played 100 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps last week against Washington and figures to log a hefty workload again Sunday.

The Jets placed Reynolds (hip) on injured reserve Saturday.

Reynolds appeared on Friday's injury report due to a hip injury. Not only has he been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but the injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on IR for the veteran wide receiver. Reynolds will be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 13 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 30 the earliest he is eligible to return. With Reynolds on IR and Garrett Wilson (knee) ruled out for Week 8, the Jets' wide receiver corps will consist of Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams and Brandon Smith.

The Giants activated Gano (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Gano is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but his activation from IR -- coupled with the Giants not elevating Younghoe Koo from the practice squad -- indicates that he will play Week 8. Gano missed the Giants' last five games after sustaining a groin injury during pregame warmups in Week 3 against the Chiefs. He went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in the two regular-season games prior to his injury.

Gay didn't practice Saturday due to a back injury and is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Kansas City.

Gay was a late addition to the Commanders' Week 8 injury report, as he didn't have any practice limitations prior to Saturday. Washington currently doesn't roster another kicker, even on its practice squad, so the team would need to sign one before Monday's game as insurance in the event Gay isn't able to suit up.

The Falcons changed London's status to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hip injury, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

London didn't show up on Atlanta's Week 8 injury report until Friday as a limited participant with the hip issue, and the team then didn't tag him with a game-day designation. With the slight downgrade, his status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff to see if he'll be available. London currently sits with a 38-469-2 receiving line on 63 targets in six games this season, and if he's active he likely will be working with quarterback Kirk Cousins because regular starter Michael Penix (knee) is trending toward sitting out, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
