  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Could practice Wednesday

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall (knee) will be evaluated Wednesday to see if he'll be able to practice this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Pearsall has missed two weeks of practice since injuring the PCL in his right knee Week 4 against the Jaguars, but like QB Brock Purdy, the wide receiver resumed conditioning work on the side last Thursday, indicating that he's making progress in his recovery. Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether or not Pearsall was able to mix into drills, but the 49ers appear to be getting healthier, with Purdy and TE George Kittle (hamstring) all potentially returning to practice in the near future.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Could miss a couple of weeks

    An MRI revealed that Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee Sunday, with the wideout reportedly expected to miss a couple of weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Confirmation from the team has yet to come, but at a minimum it looks like the Jets are in line to be without their top pass catcher this weekend against the Panthers. If that's the case, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard (personal) and Tyler Johnson would be candidates to see added WR reps in Wilson's absence.

  • Antwane Wells: Rejoins Giants' practice squad

    New York signed Wells to the practice squad Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Wells spent the offseason with New York but was cut in advance of Week 1. He and Giants starting quarterback Jaxson Dart demonstrated clear chemistry during their time together at Ole Miss, and given that New York is in need of added playmakers at the wide receiver position with Malik Nabers (ACL) done for the year, it's conceivable that Wells could earn an opportunity to make an impact.

  • Elijah Moore WR | BUF

    Bills' Elijah Moore: Active against Atlanta

    Moore is active for Monday night's game against the Falcons.

    Moore was healthy inactive last Sunday night against New England, but with Curtis Samuel (neck) out Monday night, Moore will draw back into the lineup. Moore has four catches for 64 scoreless yards this season.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Deemed inactive against Buffalo

    McCloud (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bills.

    Even with Darnell Mooney (hamstring) ruled out, McCloud will be a healthy inactive against Buffalo. It's pretty surprising considering the Falcons' lack of proven wide receivers behind Drake London, but Atlanta will roll with Casey Washington, David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge and Jamal Agnew behind London versus Buffalo.

  • Curtis Samuel WR | BUF

    Bills' Curtis Samuel: Won't suit up vs. Falcons

    Samuel (neck/ribs) is inactive for Monday's road game against Atlanta.

    Samuel was initially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup after logging a LP-DNP-LP practice slate, but he ultimately won't go. With Buffalo set to benefit from a Week 7 bye, Samuel will have extra time to get healthy and work to get back on the field Week 8 versus the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. With Samuel sidelined, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer are in line to lead the Bills' Week 6 WR corps, while Brandon Codrington and Ty Johnson will operate as the team's top kick returners.

  • Charlie Jones WR | CIN

    Bengals' Charlie Jones: Estimated as DNP

    Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Jones must have injured his ribs in Sunday's loss to the Packers, as he went into that contest battling some Achilles pain before being cleared to play. Jones has logged just four offensive snaps all season but handles kickoff and punt returns for the Bengals. If Jones is unable to play Thursday night against the Steelers, Jermaine Burton could get the call to handle return duties.

  • Falcons' Deven Thompkins: Elevated to face Bills

    The Falcons have elevated Thompkins for Monday's game against Buffalo, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Thompkins will get a chance to provide a depth role in the wide receiver room for the Falcons on Monday, with Darnell Mooney (hamstring) ruled out. Across seven regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2024, Thompkins secured all four of his targets for 20 receiving yards while also contributing in the return game. He'll revert to Atlanta's practice squad after Monday's contest.

  • Tay Martin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Tay Martin: Elevated to face Bears

    The Commanders have elevated Martin from the practice squad for Monday's game against the Bears.

    Martin will be elevated for a third consecutive game, meaning that to suit up for any further regular-season contests for the Commanders, the team will have to sign him to the active roster. In both of his prior appearances Martin drew exactly one target, but he could see expanded opportunities on Monday versus Chicago with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) ruled out, and Deebo Samuel (heel) expected to play through injury.

  • Commanders' Ja'Corey Brooks: Elevated for Week 6

    The Commanders have elevated Brooks from the practice squad for Monday night's matchup against Chicago.

    Brooks and Tay Martin have both been elevated Monday to provide depth at wide receiver, as both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) have been ruled out versus Chicago, while Deebo Samuel (heel) is officially listed as questionable but is expected to suit up. At 6-foot-5, Brooks could offer Washington some amount of playmaking upside in the red zone. The undrafted rookie wideout out of Louisville spent the offseason with the Commanders.
