Parris Campbell WR | DAL
Eagles' Parris Campbell: Heads back to practice squad
Campbell reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With A.J. Brown (hamstring) out Week 2 against the Falcons, the Eagles elevated Campbell from the practice squad, but he wasn't targeted on his 21 percent snap share. His workload jumped all the way to 50 percent of the offensive plays during Sunday's win at New Orleans with Brown still sidelined and DeVonta Smith (concussion) and Britain Covey (shoulder) exiting with injuries. While Campbell's output (two catches for 13 yards on two targets) didn't jump off the screen, he appears poised to be a regular in Philadelphia's offense for as long as his banged-up teammates need to focus on their respective recoveries.

Sterling Shepard WR | HOU
Sterling Shepard: Reverts to practice squad
Shepard reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday.
Shepard didn't record any stats during Sunday's loss to the Broncos despite playing four snaps on offense. If Kameron Johnson (ankle) isn't good to go versus the Eagles next week, Shepard could be elevated for the second straight week.

Tim Patrick WR | NYJ
Lions' Tim Patrick: Goes back to practice squad
Patrick reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday.
For a second consecutive week, Detroit elevated Patrick from the practice squad, and he remained a regular in the offense. His snap share increased from 39 percent against the Buccaneers in Week 2 to 50 percent Sunday at Arizona, but his receiving output fell from 2-12-0 on four targets to one catch (on one target) for eight yards. Still, Patrick seems to be running as the Lions' No. 3 wideout behind starters Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, so he likely will make his way back to the active roster next Monday versus the Seahawks.

Erik Ezukanma WR | PHI
Erik Ezukanma: Returns to practice squad
Ezukanma reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The wide receiver played on 11 of 61 offensive snaps and did not catch either of his two targets from quarterback Tim Boyle late in the fourth quarter. The 2022 fourth-round pick has now appeared in four regular-season games for the Dolphins during his career.
-
D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dee Eskridge: Returning to practice squad
Eskridge reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Eskridge logged seven offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-3 loss at Seattle, catching his only target for 30 yards. He also returned a kick for 28 yards. With the Dolphins dealing with a bevy of injuries in their wide-receiver room, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get the nod again in Week 4.

Xavier Smith WR | LAR
Xavier Smith: Reverts to practice squad
Smith reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The wide receiver played seven snaps on special teams in his NFL debut against the 49ers on Sunday, returning one punt for 38 yards and making a fair catch. Smith signed with the Rams' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster out of training camp.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Allen Robinson: Goes back to practice squad
Robinson reverted to Detroit's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Robinson saw just one snap during Sunday's 20-13 win at Arizona and did not record any stats. As long as Detroit continues to lean on its running game and Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams remain available, it's difficult to imagine any other Lions wideout having any fantasy relevance.
-
Collin Johnson WR | LV
Collin Johnson: Reverts to practice squad
Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday.
In his second game this season, Johnson managed to record an assisted tackle while covering a kickoff and also saw two snaps on offense. He could be elevated again next week if Keenan Allen (heel) remains sidelined.
-
Trenton Irwin WR | SF
Bengals' Trenton Irwin: Inactive with Higgins back
Irwin (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Commanders.
With Tee Higgins making his 2024 debut after missing the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury, Irwin is the odd man out among Cincinnati's receiver group. Irwin did little with his increased playing time against the Patriots and Chiefs in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively, reeling in just two of eight targets for 11 yards.

Kendrick Bourne WR | ARI
Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Making progress
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Bourne (knee) continues to progress toward making his season debut, though the receiver is without a clear timeline to be activated from the reserve/PUP list, Khari Thompson of The Boston Globe reports. "Yeah, he's making great progress. He's running fast. He looks good in his routes. When he's ready to be out there, he'll be out there," Mayo said of Bourne.
Bourne will miss at least one more contest while he continues his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last October, but it's possible that he could return to practice after the Patriots' Sept. 29 game against the 49ers. Once he's back up to speed, the 29-year-old should reclaim a key role in the team's receiving corps, which has been led by DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk through the first three weeks of the season.
