Skowronek (thigh) is active for Monday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Skowronek made a late appearance on the Rams' Week 10 injury report, logging no activity Saturday due to a thigh injury. It won't prevent him from suiting up Monday, and there's also an expectation he may enter the starting lineup in the wake of Robert Woods' torn ACL, per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. Such a development may come to pass, but the rookie seventh-round pick has just three receptions (on three targets) for 30 yards in seven appearances to date. Skowronek also will have to contend for snaps and looks from Matthew Stafford with Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson and newcomer Odell Beckham. As a result, a wait-and-see approach may be the prudent one to take with Skowronek, who averaged 13.4 yards per catch and scored 13 TDs in 45 collegiate games between Northwestern and Notre Dame.

Beckham is listed as active Monday at San Francisco, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

After the Browns waived him last Monday, Beckham made his new destination known Thursday, choosing the Rams over the Packers. With L.A., he'll have a role right away due to Friday's development in the receiving corps. Robert Woods suffered a torn ACL in practice, which sets up Beckham to be a regular target for Matthew Stafford behind Cooper Kupp and alongside Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek. Beckham has only made 13 appearances the last two seasons due to injuries, combining for 40 catches (on 77 targets) for 551 yards and three touchdowns, but a turnaround could be imminent in a more pass-happy Rams offense.

Although he played in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets, Beasley (ribs) only played nine offensive snaps (two catches for 15 yards), and coach Sean McDermott noted Monday that the team was "trying to get him through that game," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

That sounds like coach speak for the team not really needing to push it with the chain-moving Beasley in a blowout win against a weak opponent. Although Beasley didn't have an injury designation coming into the game, he's missed some practice time ever since taking a shot in a win against Miami on Halloween. Beasley did catch eight balls in last week's much closer loss to the Jaguars, so it looks like the team will be simply managing his reps (especially in practices) until he's further past the injury.

Jennings was cut from the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

Jennings was added to the Raiders' practice squad last week but didn't join the active roster in Week 10. He'll now part ways with the organization after fullback Sutton Smith was signed to the practice squad Monday.

Harry (knee) was listed as a limited on Monday's practice estimate.

Though Harry approached Week 10 action listed as questionable, he logged a season-high 35 snaps in Sunday's win over the Browns. With no reported setbacks in the contest, it's likely his listed limitations Wednesday reflect that his practice reps would have been managed Monday had the team practiced. At this point, there's nothing to suggest that Harry's availability for Thursday night's game against the Falcons is in danger.

Shepard (quadriceps) worked off to the side during Monday's practice but didn't take part in team or individual drills, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

With a week to go until the Giants' next game Nov. 22 in Tampa Bay, Shepard still has time to prove he's recovered from a left quad strain. Even so, the fact that he's not yet ready to practice coming out of the Giants' Week 10 bye isn't the most encouraging sign. New York will wait and see if Shepard is able to get back on the field in some capacity when the team reconvenes for its first official Week 11 practice Thursday.

Coach Sean McDermott said McKenzie is "fine" after briefly leaving Sunday's win over the Jets due to an injury, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports. He caught one of three targets for 12 yards and had two carries for 17 yards and a touchdown.

McKenzie returned to the field after suffering the injury, so it doesn't appear to be much of a concern. The 26-year-old played 13 offensive snaps and was one of four different Buffalo players to notch a rushing touchdown Sunday, which was his first score of the season.

Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Lamb (arm) is "going to be fine" for the team's Week 11 game in Kansas City, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lamb exited in the second half of Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons with an arm contusion, but not before turning in his second-best fantasy outing of the season (six receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets). The blowout nature of the contest may have prompted Dallas to exercise caution with Lamb, but the second-year wideout should be ready to handle a full workload by the time the weekend arrives. McCarthy wouldn't commit to Lamb turning in a full practice when the Cowboys resume workouts Wednesday, though the coach expects the receiver to be available in some capacity, according to Mark Lane of WFAA News Dallas.

Dortch reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Dortch was elevated from Arizona's practice squad for a second straight week during Sunday's loss to the Panthers. However, he played just one offensive snap against Carolina and wasn't targeted.

Shepherd was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Shepherd was signed to Arizona's practice squad Wednesday but will part ways with the organization less than a week later. The 26-year-old has yet to make a regular-season appearance in 2021.
