Merritt was promoted to the active roster for each of the last two games, however, he did not record a catch while playing just nine of his 35 snaps on offense.     

With Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry being ruled out for Saturday's game, expect Merritt to be a little more involved and to slot in as the team's No. 4 receiver behind Rashid Shaheed, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway on Saturday.

The twenty-five-year-old was an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas State.
