Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Tuesday that Beckham (undisclosed) will have his 21-day practice window opened this week, per NFL.com.

Beckham began the season on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, but it appears the 31-year-old wide receiver's return to practice is imminent. Once fully healthy, Beckham will have an opportunity to claim the No. 3 wide receiver role right off the bat behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Across 14 regular-season games for the Ravens last season, Beckham posted 35 catches (on 64 targets) for 565 yards and three touchdowns.

Washington secured his only target for eight yards during Miami's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Washington played 26 percent of the offensive snaps in his NFL debut. The rookie sixth-round pick missed the first three games of the season due to a quadriceps injury, but he played the same amount in Monday's loss to Tennessee as Braxton Berrios and Dee Eskridge, who was elevated from the practice squad. Washington will look to earn a bigger role against the Patriots on the road in Week 5.

Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant during the Buccaneers' walk-through session Tuesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Johnson was able to suit up for Week 4 against the Eagles after missing Week 3 against the Broncos due to an ankle injury. He's started this week with back-to-back limited participation designations, and Wednesday's injury report will provide more clarity on his status for Thursday's NFC South showdown against the Falcons. Smith has played 53 snaps (34 on offense, 19 on special teams) and registered one carry for no gain and one target through three-regular season games.

Palmer (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Palmer is highly unlikely to play in Thursday's game at Atlanta, having entered the concussion protocol during Sunday's win over the Eagles. He was filling in for Jalen McMillan (hamstring) as the No. 3 receiver, a role that then fell to Sterling Shepard. With McMillan also listed as a non-participant so far this week, Shepard may again join Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as a regular presence in three-wide formations.

McMillan (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

McMillan missed Sunday's win over the Eagles and isn't look good for Thursday at Atlanta. Trey Palmer replaced him as the No. 3 receiver and caught a TD early on against the Eagles, but Palmer then left the game with a concussion, thrusting Sterling Shepard into a significant role for the first time in years.

McCloud (ankle) is listed as limited on Tuesday's injury report, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

McCloud has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions ahead of Thursday's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers. If he is able to practice in at least a limited fashion once more, it will bode well for his chances of being available in Week 5. KhaDarel Hodge would figure to see increased work behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney if McCloud is sidelined for the contest.

Evans (knee/calf) was limited in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Evans was listed as a non-participant Monday, so it's encouraging to see him upgrade his participation level, even if Tampa Bay was only having another walk-through session. The star wideout figures to have a good chance to suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Falcons. If Evans can upgrade to a full practice session Wednesday, however, it would mitigate any concerns about his health. The veteran wideout is coming off a 8-94-1 receiving line on 14 targets during Week 4's win over the Eagles, with his catches, yards and targets all being season-best marks.

Jiles was cut from the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Jiles signed with New England's practice squad last Tuesday, but it appears he wasn't able to prove enough in his week with the team to keep his spot. He'll now have to find another opportunity.

Adams (hamstring) informed the Raiders on Tuesday that he prefers to be traded rather than to continue playing in Las Vegas, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Adams, who missed the Raiders' 20-16 win over the Browns in Week 4 due to a hamstring injury, is unhappy with his current situation and has informed the team of his desire to be dealt elsewhere, although no official trade request was made. Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports that internally, the organization had already planned to reevaluate Adams' tenure in Las Vegas ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 4. Adams compiled 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets through the first three games of the season, and there should be no shortage of teams around the league interested in acquiring the veteran wideout.

Berrios was not targeted during Miami's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Berrios logged his first game of the regular season without a target Monday. He remains without a catch through four appearances, though, despite having drawn four targets combined in the first three weeks of the season. Berrios, and the Dolphins' passing game as a whole, will look to bounce back Sunday in a road divisional matchup against the Patriots.
