Eskridge (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Eskridge has played a limited role on offense for the Seahawks this season, but he's emerged as the team's top kick returner since returning from a six-game suspension to begin the campaign. During the Week 12 loss to San Francisco on Thanksgiving, he tallied 140 yards on four returns (including a 66-yarder) and carried once for 10 yards. It's unclear if Eskridge is at risk of missing this Thursday's game in Dallas, but if he does sit out, DeeJay Dallas could take over kick-return duties.

Erickson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Erickson was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 12 loss to Baltimore. He had a significant role in that contest, finishing third among the team's wideouts in offensive snaps (34) while producing one catch for 17 yards on three targets. With both Mike Williams (knee) and Joshua Palmer (knee) on IR and No. 2 wideout Quentin Johnston dealing with a rib injury, Erickson has a good chance to be active again this coming Sunday versus New England. For that to happen, the Chargers would need to sign him to their 53-man roster.

Washington reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday.

Washington played two snaps apiece on offense and special teams but didn't record any stats. The 2022 fifth-round pick will now wait for his next chance to be called up for action.

The Colts reverted Montgomery to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Montgomery logged three offensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps without recording any stats in Sunday's Week 12 win over Tampa Bay. That was his first NFL action since 2021, when he played in three games for the Jets and tallied three catches on six targets for 36 yards. Montgomery can be elevated from the practice squad twice more by the Colts this season before they'd need to sign him to the active roster in order to play him.

Sims reverted to Houston's practice squad Monday.

Sims saw playing time on both offense and special teams Sunday and recorded a fair catch his lone punt-return opportunity. The 26-year-old has appeared in two games this season for Houston and is now eligible to be elevated just once more before he'd have to be signed to the active roster.

The Broncos reverted Sills to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sills garnered his third straight practice-squad elevation ahead of Week 12's win over Cleveland, and he played on five offensive snaps without logging any stats. If Denver wants to deploy Sills for another game, the team would first need to sign him to the active roster.

The Bills reverted Isabella to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Isabella was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Eagles, and he didn't see any targets on two offensive snaps. The veteran wideout was more impactful on special teams, totaling 12 snaps and returning one kickoff for 25 yards. Isabella has been elevated from the practice squad twice this season, so the Bills can elevate him one more time before they'd have to sign him to the active roster in order to utilize him on gameday.

Jones is listed as active for Monday's matchup with the Vikings, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Jones' active status is notable, as he has been a healthy scratch the last three weeks. He will now be available to provide depth at receiver if needed, as well as a special-teams contributor.

Blair reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

Blair saw playing time on both offense and special teams during Atlanta's Week 12 win over the Saints but failed to record any stats. The 25-year-old will now wait for another opportunity to be called up for action.

Coach Zac Taylor said that Higgins (hamstring) has a chance to return to action next Monday at Jacksonville, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "I think so," Taylor relayed. "We'll see what we can get out of him this week as it goes."

Higgins has missed three games since hurting his hamstring in a Nov. 8 practice. The Bengals won't reconvene for practice until Thursday, at which point Higgins could take the first step toward playing again. Until that happens, Trenton Irwin will continue to see an increased role alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd in the team's passing game.
