The Cowboys cut Brooks (knee) from the practice squad with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brooks was placed on the practice-squad injured list Wednesday but will now be free to look for a new opportunity elsewhere after appearing in one game with Dallas this season.

The Seahawks cut Scott from the practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Scott signed with the Seahawks' practice squad earlier this month but is being replaced by Tyrone Broden. Scott has yet to appear in a regular-season game this season.

Kirk (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against San Francisco.

With Nico Collins (concussion) and Kirk both ruled out, the Texans are left with Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and Braxton Berrios as the favorites for playing time at wide receiver. Noel made a splash last week with four catches for 77 yards on seven targets in a 27-19 loss at Seattle, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be the main beneficiary in terms of playing time this week. Kirk, meanwhile, has now missed Weeks 1, 2, 7 and 8 with hamstring injuries.

Collins (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Meanwhile, Christian Kirk (hamstring) has also been deemed out for the contest. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, in the absence of Collins and Kirk, look for the Texans to lean heavily on TE Dalton Schultz, along with rookie wide receivers Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins as well as Xavier Hutchinson. Wilson adds that both of Houston's injured WRs -- who didn't practice this week -- have a chance to return to action Nov. 2 against the Broncos.

Broden signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Following the preseason, Broden inked with the Seahawks' practice squad but was let go earlier this month. He's now back with Seattle, taking the spot of Tyler Scott.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that the 49ers may designate Aiyuk (knee) to return from the reserve/PUP list next week, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Aiyuk is a shade more than one year removed from tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee Week 7 of last season. Once the 49ers make the aforementioned transaction, be it next week or beyond that point, the team will have a 21-day window in which to evaluate Aiyuk in practice to determine his return to action. Shanahan added that San Francisco currently is in "week-to-week mode" with Aiyuk, meaning he may need a few weeks to get up to speed before gaining clearance to play.

Pearsall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Houston, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Pearsall hasn't practiced since September and will now miss a fourth straight game. Meanwhile, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) may return to practice next week, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. For now, Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are the team's starting wide receivers.

Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks exited in the second half of last Sunday's win at Arizona due to a calf injury, and coach Matt LaFleur told Zach Kruse of USA Today on Wednesday that the third-year wide receiver wasn't in line to practice this week. Wicks indeed didn't mix into drills Wednesday through Friday and thus will miss his first game of the season. The Packers have two other question marks in the receiving corps, with Christian Watson (knee) awaiting activation from the reserve/PUP list and Matthew Golden (hip) added to the injury report Friday as limited. Green Bay's current healthy options at the position are Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams.

Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Watson still hasn't logged a full practice, remaining limited Wednesday through Friday this week. The Packers will need to activate him from the reserve/PUP list Saturday in order to have Watson available Sunday night. Should that happen, Watson likely will start off in a part-time role, even if fellow speedster Matthew Golden (questionable - hip) is limited or absent.

Cooper (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Cooper was designated for return from injured reserve Thursday, opening his 21-day practice window, but he's yet to be activated after practicing in full Friday. Cooper has yet to see a target on offense through three appearances this season.
