Justyn Ross WR | KC
Justyn Ross: Back to practice squad
Ross reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Ross was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster for a second straight game Sunday due to JuJu Smith-Schuster being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Ross played seven of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps Sunday but failed to haul in his lone target. If the Chiefs elevate Ross from the practice squad again, they'll subsequently have to sign him to the active roster in order for him to play for the team again in 2024.

Tyrell Shavers WR | BUF
Tyrell Shavers: Reverts to practice squad
Shavers reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday.
Shavers was activated for the second time this season prior to Sunday's win versus the Colts as both Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper were ruled out due to wrist injuries. However, Shavers didn't play any snaps and will now wait for his next chance to be elevated.

Jalen Moreno-Cropper WR | NO
Jalen Moreno-Cropper: Reverts to practice squad
Moreno-Cropper reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Moreno-Cropper played 12 of 60 offensive snaps Sunday, which was four more than KaVontae Turpin, though the former did not register a stat. The Cowboys can elevate Moreno-Cropper to the active roster two more times this season, though the chances of that happening would significantly decrease if Brandin Cooks (knee) were to be activated from injured reserve.

K.J. Hamler WR | BUF
KJ Hamler: Returns to practice squad
Hamler reverted to Buffalo's practice squad Monday.
Hamler was elevated prior to Sunday's win over the Colts but ended up being inactive despite Keon Coleman (wrist) and Amari Cooper (wrist) both being out. Hamler will now wait for his next chance to be called up to play.

Deven Thompkins WR | LV
Deven Thompkins: Reverts to practice squad
Thompkins reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Thompkins played six snaps on offense during the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants and failed to record a stat. It was the second week in a row that Thompkins was elevated from the practice squad, and the Panthers can do so one more time before having to sign the 24-year-old wide receiver to the active roster.

Chris Blair WR | ATL
Chris Blair: Reverts to practice squad
Blair reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.
Blair was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to the Saints but ended up not playing. He was likely activated to provide insurance at receiver in case Drake London was limited due to a hip injury, but the latter was able to play without any setbacks.

Chris Conley WR | SF
49ers' Chris Conley: Expected back this week
Conley (hamstring) is expected to practice this week after missing Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
The wide receiver sustained the injury in the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Cowboys, and even with the team's bye in Week 9, was not able to return to practice leading up to game against Tampa Bay. Conley's return adds depth to a receiver room that is already missing Brandon Aiyuk due to season-ending ACL and MCL tears. Conley has one catch for four yards and no touchdowns on 154 offensive snaps this season.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Healthy scratch for Week 10
Eskridge (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Rams.
Eskridge has seen limited playing time over the Dolphins' last two regular-season games despite being signed from the practice squad to the active roster Oct. 25. With Eskridge sidelined Monday, rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington will handle kickoff- and punt-return duties.

River Cracraft WR | WAS
Dolphins' River Cracraft: Back in action Monday
Cracraft (shoulder) is active for Monday night's game against the Rams.
Cracraft thus is slated to make his regular-season debut Monday, but with Tyreek Hill (wrist) also active and available to start at wideout alongside Jaylen Waddle, Cracraft is in line to work in a complementary role. Also in the mix behind the top WR duo Week 10 are Odell Beckham and Malik Washington.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Active versus Rams
Hill (wrist) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Rams.
After practicing fully Thursday, Hill was listed as a non-participant Friday and Saturday before being deemed questionable for Monday's contest. With his active status versus Los Angeles confirmed, Hill will have an opportunity to maintain his standing as a focal point of Miami's offense in the absence of any significant restrictions or setbacks related to his wrist issue, which the wideout told ESPN's Lisa Salters is a ligament tear that he's been working through. In eight games to date, Hill has caught 34 of his team-high 56 targets for 446 yards and a TD, a rate of production down from his 2023 pace, but with QB Tua Tagovailoa back as Miami's starting QB, Hill's fantasy prospects going forward figure to be bolstered, provided his workload isn't impacted too much by the injury he's managing.
