Cornell Powell WR | PIT
Cornell Powell: Shifts back to practice squad
Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Powell made his NFL debut as he was activated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's win over the Chargers. The second-year wideout figured to provide depth for Kansas City with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR and JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) ruled inactive. However, Powell did not log a target and ultimately played just one of his 16 snaps on offense Week 11. The 25-year-old will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Chiefs practice squad this season.

DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins: Starts hot, fades
Hopkins recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 91 yards in Monday's 38-10 loss to the 49ers.
Hopkins was questionable to play entering Monday's matchup due to a hamstring injury, but he showed few signs of that issue early in the game. He recorded three receptions for 40 yards on the team's first two offensive possessions and ended the first half with seven catches and 77 yards. However, the Cardinals' offense collapsed in the final two quarters, which resulted in Hopkins' production following suit. Despite the disappointing close to the game, he has earned at least 12 targets in four of his five games on the campaign.

Marcus Kemp WR | WAS
Marcus Kemp: Goes back to practice squad
Kemp reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kemp was elevated from Kansas City's practice squad for the third time in four games, though he once again failed to record an offensive statistic. The 27-year-old wideout also continued to primarily play on special teams, as 17 of his 21 snaps came in this phase Week 11. Kemp will now require a full spot on the active roster in order to suit for the Chiefs again this season.

DeAndre Carter WR | CLE
Chargers' DeAndre Carter: Still factor in passing game
Carter caught all three of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
The return of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams figured to relegate Carter back to his return duties, but the speedy receiver immediately returned to a prominent role after Williams suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter. Expect Carter to continue to be a mainstay in the Chargers' three-wideout packages until the duo of Allen and Williams is completely healthy.

Stanley Berryhill III WR | DET
Stanley Berryhill: Returns to practice squad
Berryhill reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic.
Berryhill was bumped up from Detroit's practice squad for the second game in a row after being let go from the team's active roster Nov. 7. However, the 5-foot-9 receiver was once again a nonfactor on offense, as he did not record a statistic while playing just three of his 14 snaps from scr The Lions will likely exercise Berryhill's last available practice-squad elevation if wideouts Josh Reynolds (back) and DJ Chark (ankle) are sidelined for the team's Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants.

Brandon Johnson WR | LV
Brandon Johnson: Heading back to practice squad
Johnson reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Johnson played a relatively prominent role after being elevated from the Broncos' practice squad for the first time Week 11, as he caught one of his two targets for two yards. The rookie's 22 offensive snaps also ranked third amongst Denver's receiver corps, slotting in behind Courtland Sutton (59) and Kendall Hinton (56) but ahead of Jalen Virgil (seven) and Montrell Washington (six). With KJ Hamler (hamstring) expected to miss multiple weeks, Johnson could stand to see similar usage if No. 2 wideout Jerry Jeudy (ankle) remains sidelined Week 12 against Carolina.

Trenton Irwin WR | SF
Trenton Irwin: Returns to practice squad
Irwin reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Irwin played a season-high 46 offensive snaps after being elevated for the third game in a row ahead of Sunday's win over the Steelers. As a result, the practice-squad wideout logged career highs in receptions, yards and targets while serving as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, who played 54 and 52 offensive snaps, respectively. Irwin will now require a full spot on the active roster in order to continue suiting up for the Bengals this season, though it's likely he'll serve as the team's best option if star wideout Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is not available Week 12.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | TEN
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Goes on injured reserve
The Giants placed Robinson (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Robinson was forced from Sunday's loss to the Lions early in the fourth quarter with a knee injury, and afterward he needed crutches to move around the locker room. One day later, coach Brian Daboll revealed that Robinson sustained a torn ACL in his right knee, thereby ending the rookie second-round pick's season. Robinson will finish his first year as a pro with 23 catches (on 31 targets) for 227 yards and one touchdown, while his two carries went for a combined minus-1 yard. In Robinson's absence, the Giants will rely on Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay and a host of depth options at wide receiver.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Hurts groin on MNF
Moore (groin) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Moore got the ball on Arizona's first offensive play and came up limping after getting tackled for a loss of six yards. The slick and rainy conditions in Mexico City may have factored into the injury, as there was no indication that Moore was hurt coming into the game.
-
Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Three catches against Giants
Raymond caught three of seven targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 31-18 win over the Giants.
The return of DJ Chark (ankle) corresponded with Raymond matching his season high in targets, but Raymond put up the lowest yardage of any game this season in which he had at least four looks. However, until Chark and/or Jameson Williams (knee) is up to speed in the offense, Raymond won't be hurting for snaps. Next up is a Week 12 matchup with Buffalo.
