McMillan (hamstring) was limited at Saturday's practice and subsequently was listed as questionable for Monday's contest at Kansas City, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

McMillan was a late addition to the Buccaneers' Week 9 injury report, indicating that he may have sustained the hamstring issue during Saturday's session. His status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff -- along with fellow WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) -- but with both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, knee) sidelined, McMillan would have a chance for an elevated snap share, assuming he's active.

The Saints placed Means (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Getting diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain typically equates to a multi-game absence, and the Saints have made it official for Means, ruling him out for the next four contests. He'll be first eligible to return Sunday, Dec. 8 at the Giants, but for the time being he'll join fellow WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve.

The Jaguars placed Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve Saturday.

Kirk already has been ruled out for the season following the broken left collarbone that he suffered last Sunday against the Packers, so this transaction is merely a procedural move. He'll join fellow WRs Devin Duvernay (lower body) and David White (knee) on IR, while Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, and Parker Washington, Tim Jones and practice-squad elevations Elijah Cooks and Austin Trammell are the healthy options at the position for Week 9.

The Chargers elevated Reagor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Reagor will give the Bolts some additional depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Browns. It's the third and final time he can be elevated from the practice squad, meaning he'll have to be signed to the active roster if the Chargers wish to continue playing him. Across his two regular-season outings, Reagor has caught all three of his targets for 76 yards.

The Chargers placed Rice (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.

Rice was already ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, but he will now be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season contests. The earliest Rice can return from IR is Week 13 against the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 1.

The Chargers activated Chark (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Chark is closing in on his season debut, and considering he capped Week 9 prep with back-to-back full practices, he may be able to make an instant impact in the Chargers' receiving corps, assuming he's made active about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If that comes to pass, Chark will have to contend with rookie Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer and Simi Fehoko for snaps and targets.

Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Kansas City.

After sitting out practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring concern, Shepard was able to return on a limited basis Saturday, giving himself a chance to be available for Week 9 action. Fellow WR Jalen McMillan showed up on the Buccaneers' injury report Saturday as limited due to a hamstring issue, so Monday's list of inactives will be key as to who may contribute in the passing game in the wake of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) being sidelined.

Cincinnati elevated Pryor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Pryor was unable to make the Bengals' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 26-year-old wide receiver opted to stick around on the practice squad. He'll give the Bengals depth at wide receiver and could make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday against the Raiders if Tee Higgins (quadriceps) and/or Charlie Jones (groin) are ruled out.

Cracraft (shoulder) will not be activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Buffalo, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Cracraft began the regular season on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury he sustained during training camp in August. His 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, but seeing as he was a limited participant all week, the Dolphins will take the cautious route and keep the 30-year-old wideout on IR for at least another week. Cracraft's next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Rams on Monday, Nov. 11.

Smith-Schuster (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Smith-Schuster thus will miss a second consecutive contest due to a hamstring injury. Aside from a 7-130-0 performance on eight targets Week 5 agains the Saints, he's been targeted just four times in his other five appearances this season. Whenever he's healthy enough to return to action, Smith-Schuster will have to vie with DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman for work in the Chiefs' receiving corps.
