Michael Bandy WR | DEN
Broncos' Michael Bandy: Back to practice squad
Bandy reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Bandy made his 2025 regular-season debut during the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans on Sunday. He played a total of 14 snaps (six on offense, eight on special teams) while hauling in a 16-yard pass on his only target of the game. He also returned four punts for 30 yards, though he fumbled one of those punts late in the second quarter that was scooped up by the Texans and led to a Ka'imi Fairbairn 40-yard field goal four plays later. Bandy could be elevated to the Broncos' active roster for Thursday's game against the Raiders if Marvin Mims (concussion) is not cleared to play.

Dylan Drummond WR | ATL
Dylan Drummond: Reverts to practice squad
Drummond reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Drummond played just one snap on offense without recording a stat during the Falcons' 24-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. It was his second elevation to the active roster this season, which makes him eligible to be called up from the practice squad by Atlanta once more before he has to be signed to the active roster in order to continue suiting up for the team in 2025.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Listed as DNP on Monday
Mims (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Mims emerged from the Broncos' Week 8 win against the Cowboys with a concussion and wasn't able to practice in any capacity before being ruled out ahead of this past Sunday's game at Houston. With no listed activity to speak of yet for the third-year pro, he may be trending in the wrong direction to clear the protocol for head injuries and play Thursday versus the Raiders.

Konata Mumpfield WR | LAR
Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Fails to record a target
Mumpfield played 30 snaps on offense during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.
Despite another big day from Matthew Stafford (24-of-32 for 281 yards and four touchdowns), Tutu Atwell (hamstring) being out and Puka Nacua (chest) missing a chunk of the second half, Mumpfield failed to keep the momentum from his first NFL touchdown in Week 7 against the Jaguars in London. Mumpfield could find himself with a bigger role if Nacua's injury persists into a Week 10 divisional showdown with the 49ers, with Xavier Smith and Jordan Whittington also vying for additional playing time behind Davante Adams.

Danny Gray WR | PHI
Danny Gray: Signed to Philadelphia's PS
The Eagles signed Gray to the practice squad Monday.
Gray was let go by the Eagles with an injury settlement in early August due to a finger injury, but the 2022 third-rounder is now fully healthy and has reunited with Philadelphia as a member of the practice squad. Gray's only regular-season action in his NFL career came during his rookie campaign with the 49ers, when he registered one catch (on seven targets) for 10 yards and one carry for nine yards across 13 games.

Xavier Smith WR | LAR
Rams' Xavier Smith: Makes a pair of grabs
Smith secured two of three targets for 12 yards and returned two punts for 11 yards during Sunday's 34-10 win against the Saints.
With Tutu Atwell (hamstring) out and Puka Nacua (chest) leaving the contest early, Smith managed to record a nearly identical stat line to last week, albeit with only 13 snaps on offense, a significant decrease from last week. If Nacua were in line to miss any additional time with his injury, Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield would all be in line for additional work, with Smith likely to step into Atwell's role of field-stretching speedster for the Rams. A healthy Davante Adams will likely cap the fantasy fun to be had by the trio, however, with a divisional trip to San Francisco up next in Week 10.

Adonai Mitchell WR | NYJ
Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Just one reception in loss
Mitchell had one reception for two yards on one target in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.
Mitchell played four snaps on offense. He's still behind Ashton Dulin, who played seven snaps on offense. While it's encouraging that Mitchell is getting any targets following his demotion for a much-publicized mental error in Week 4 when he erased a would-be 76-yard receiving touchdown by dropping the ball prior to crossing the goal line, he's not likely to get much more playing time without injuries in the receiving corps.
-
Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Uninvolved in victory
Whittington failed to record a target during Sunday's 34-10 victory against the Saints.
Even with Puka Nacua (chest) missing a portion of the contest with injury and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) on IR, Whittington found himself blanked on the stat sheet for the first time since Week 1. Matthew Stafford once again had a monster game, with four more touchdowns and 281 yards through the air, so the volume for the receiving corps is there. If Nacua misses any time with his rib injury, Whittington would be a primary beneficiary, although he has yet to eclipse 42 yards receiving in a game and is still seeking his first touchdown on the season.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Remains healthy scratch
Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Mingo was activated from injured reserve ahead of Dallas' Week 8 matchup, but he'll be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive contest. It's unclear if he's still ramping up, or if the Cowboys are content with their wide-receiver depth for the time being.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Could return in Week 10
Coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that Pearsall (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Rams but will be evaluated mid-week, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Pearsall hasn't seen game action since Week 4, but the wideout appears to be inching closer to a return. Added context on that front will arrive no later than Wednesday, when the 49ers post their first Week 10 injury report. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) still not ready to have his practice window opened, the team's top healthy WRs currently are Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson.
