Eskridge (concussion) isn't at the team facility Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The second-round rookie likely is still dealing with symptoms after suffering a concussion in his NFL debut. He played 12 offensive snaps in the 28-16 win over Indianapolis, taking two carries for 22 yards and one catch for six yards. Freddie Swain should pick up a few extra snaps If Eskridge is out for Week 2 against Tennessee.

The Bengals signed Irwin to their active roster Wednesday.

The Bengals placed Ricardo Allen on IR, which opened up a roster spot for Irwin. The 25-year-old has appeared in one contest for the Bengals in each of the past two seasons.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Beckham (knee) will be held out of Sunday's game against the Texans, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Per Ulrich, Stefanski clarified that Beckham hasn't suffered any setbacks with his surgically repaired left knee and is slated to continue to practice on a limited basis. According to Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, Stefanski also noted that ruling Beckham out at this stage of the week allows other receivers to get more reps in during practice and the coaching staff to cater its game plan accordingly. In this context, look for Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz to continue to see added work in the Browns' passing attack behind No. 1 receiver Jarvis Landry.

Cole (knee) is on track to return to practice this week, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

The Jets are also expected to get Jamison Crowder (illness) back in action, after he and Cole were both sidelined for the team's Week 1 loss to the Panthers. Wednesday's practice report will provide added context with regard to where Cole is at in his recovery from a knee issue that kept him out for the opener.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Crowder (illness) still has "to clear one more hurdle" before being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

With both Crowder and Keelan Cole (knee) trending toward Week 2 returns, the Jets wideout corps should be at full strength for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If both Crowder and Cole in fact are available this weekend, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios would be candidates to see less work than they did in the Jets' regular-season opener.

Davis won't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Davis logged 43 snaps in the Bills' Week 1 loss to the Steelers, finishing with two receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders all saw more playing time than Davis did in the season opener, a context that suggests that steady volume could elude the second-year wideout, so long as the aforementioned trio remains available.

Grant played just seven offensive snaps and didn't record a target during Sunday's win over the Patriots.

Grant appeared in 14 games last season for the Dolphins and recorded 36 receptions for 373 yards -- both career-highs. He suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 last year, but he appeared healthy coming into training camp. Grant's role in the 2021 offense remains unclear after the Dolphins added Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle to their receiving corps this offseason.

Miller played just eight snaps on offense and did not see a target during the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Targets were expected to be scarce for any receivers not named Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Antonio Brown, and that proved true in Week 1. The speedy Miller will almost assuredly be looked for on some deep routes as the season unfolds, but as long as the top trio is healthy, the Bowling Green product's week-to-week production will be inconsistent at best.

Johnson failed to come up with his only target during the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

The second-year wideout logged just three snaps from scrimmage, so the lack of action on offense was unsurprising. Johnson's empty stat line could unfortunately be par from the course for him on many weeks while the top wideout trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown is healthy.

The 49ers released Zuber from the practice squad Tuesday.

Zuber played four games for the Patriots as an undrafted rookie last year, recording two receptions for 29 yards and two rushes for 21 yards. He'll likely need to settle for a practice-squad role elsewhere.
