Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Bachman was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over the Browns, recording two tackles (one solo) on kick coverage while playing nine snaps with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver played one offensive snap, failing to record any stats. He'll look to earn another shot with the active roster down the road.

Conley has an oblique injury and is listed as day-to-day by 49ers' coach Kyle Shanahan, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Conley has served as San Francisco's fourth receiver behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings has just one catch for four yards this season. Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell are the next receivers up on the depth chart behind him. First-round pick Ricky Pearsall (chest) could also return from the reserve/non-football injury list this week.

Cowing (shoulder) is considered day-to-day after being injured in Sunday's win over the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

A fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Cowing has played just four offensive snaps and 15 on special teams through four games. He's yet to see a target on offense but has returned six punts for 32 yards. Kyle Juszczyk handled punt-return duties after Cowing's injury Sunday.

Sims wasn't targeted over two offensive snaps, returned two punts for 10 yards and muffed a punt in Sunday's 24-20 win over Jacksonville.

After the Jaguars' initial drive of the game stalled, Sims had the mishap on a punt return, putting the visitors in business at Houston's two-yard line. From there, Trevor Lawrence found rookie Brian Thomas in the end zone for an early 7-0 lead. Sims has operated as the Texans' primary returner of punts and also handles kickoffs as well. That he was back returning kicks following the miscue suggests his return role still is intact. Sims also played on offense for first time in four games, as Houston was without Tank Dell (chest).

Williams (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Seahawks.

The wide receiver missed the last two games with an abdomen injury but was not listed on the injury report as of Thursday. Williams has yet to appear in a game this season. The Illinois product signed with Detroit as an undrafted free agent in May.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers haven't made a decision whether or not to open Pearsall's (chest) practice window this week, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Pearsall has resided on the reserve/non-football injury list since he suffered a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31, keeping him out of commission for the first four games of the campaign. He's eligible to return as soon as Week 5, but Shanahan appears to be keeping the situation close to the vest. Pearsall resumed working out during Week 2 prep, and he even ran routes on a side field on Sept. 20. With Deebo Samuel only missing one game (Week 3) due to a recent strained hamstring, the team may feel that they have a bit more leeway with Pearsall considering both Samuel and Aiyuk were able to suit up Sunday against the Patriots.

Washington (quadriceps) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Titans.

Washington thus is slated to make his regular-season debut after missing the Dolphins' first three games. In his return to action, the 2024 sixth-rounder will be in the mix (along with Braxton Berrios and Dee Eskridge) to log snaps behind top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but until Washington gets a full and productive game in, the rookie out of Virginia will remain a speculative fantasy option.

Palmer (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Palmer was forced out of Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a concussion, and given that the Buccaneers are on a short week, the wideout's status for Thursday's game against the Falcons is cloudy. With Jalen McMillan (hamstring) also banged up, the team's depth behind top WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin is currently taxed.

McMillan (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

McMillan was inactive for Sunday's win over the Eagles, so it's no surprise to see his DNP listing Monday. The 2024 third-rounder now has two more chances to see his listed participation level increase ahead of Week 5 action, but for now his status for Thursday's game against the Falcons is cloudy.

Shakir is contending with ankle soreness ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

With that in mind, coach Sean McDermott noted that the Bills will will monitor Shakir's status daily ahead of Week 5 action. The wideout thus appears likely to have his practice participation impacted, with further context on that front set to arrive Wednesday.
