Carolina signed Landers to its practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Just a week after being cut from Seattle's practice squad, Landers has found another chance with a new team. The undrafted rookie boasts impressive athleticism, but he hasn't gotten a chance to show it on the field yet.

Palmer caught his only target for an eight-yard gain in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

The speedy rookie logged a solid 34 snaps, but Baker Mayfield looked the way of Deven Thompkins four times to Palmer's one. The week-to-week production of both depth wideouts will remain difficult to trust as long as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are healthy in front of them.

Coach Matt LaFleur said that Watson (hamstring) hasn't been medically cleared as of Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The wideout was listed as limited at Tuesday's walkthrough, but Watson relayed to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic that he plans to be active Thursday against the Lions. Considering LaFleur's comments, Watson still has a hurdle or two to clear before the Packers will feel comfortable allowing him to make his season debut. There's a chance his Week 4 status will be a game-time decision.

The Chargers signed Fehoko off of Pittsburgh's practice squad Tuesday.

After Mike Williams went down for the season Sunday with a torn ACL, it makes sense for the Chargers to add some depth to their wide receiver room. Fehoko's path to targets is a narrow one though, as he'll likely be behind Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston, at least to start.

The Chargers placed Williams (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

This is merely a procedural move after an MRI confirmed Monday that Williams suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Week 3 action against the Vikings. He'll end his 2023 campaign with 19 catches on 26 targets for 249 yards and one touchdown in three appearances. In Williams' place, Joshua Palmer and rookie first-rounder Quentin Johnston are expected to see bigger roles alongside No. 1 wide receiver Keenan Allen.

Baltimore signed Demus to its practice squad Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

As the team deals with a plague of injuries to its wide receiver room, it decided to bring Demus on board to provide some depth at the position. He's yet to see any regular-season NFL action, but that could change relatively soon given Baltimore's injury luck so far this year.

Zaccheaus caught two passes on three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday's victory over the Buccaneers.

Zaccheaus didn't receive a single target in his first two games as an Eagle, but Jalen Hurts looked his way on three occasions Monday, one of which resulted in a 34-yard touchdown pass. Zacchaeus' expanded role was enable by the absence of No. 3 WR Quez Watkins (hamstring). If Watkins misses more time, Zaccheaus should continue to catch the occasional pass, but the vast majority of the Eagles' wideout targets go to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Watson (hamstring) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers logged their first on-field work of Week 4 prep with a walkthrough, and Watson got in some reps as he pushes to make his season debut Thursday against the Lions. The wideout said, "that's the plan," when asked Tuesday by Matt Schneidman of The Athletic if he'll be back this week, but confirmation of his status may not come until 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. EDT kickoff.

Tennessee signed Smith to its practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Smith was waived by Carolina prior to Week 1, but he's found another opportunity to make an impression with a new team ahead of Week 4. Tennessee's pecking order for targets is pretty well-established after three weeks though, so it would take a slew of injuries for Smith to see a significant number in 2023.

Skowronek brought in his only target for three yards during Monday's 19-16 loss to the Bengals.

Skowronek found his only reception of the game at the start of the third quarter and was on the field for just 12 snaps through the entire game. While "Skow" is on top of the pecking order behind the starting trio of Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell and Van Jefferson, that role hasn't led to much of an impact in the stat column through three weeks.
