The Commanders reverted Jefferson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jefferson was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 5 tie with the Giants. He logged three snaps on offense without drawing a target or touch while adding 13 snaps on special teams. Whether Jefferson gets elevated again Week 6 versus San Francisco may depend upon whether Stefon Diggs is able to return from a hamstring injury.

Nacua brought in 17 of 24 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for nine yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.

Nacua's jaw-dropping stat line included new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. The prolific receiver monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills' defense is it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The third-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season on a picturesque two-yard over-the-shoulder catch early in the fourth quarter, and with his production Monday, he nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the campaign. Nacua will take a 31-337-1 line on 45 targets into a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Smith reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Smith was called upon for Sunday's Week 5 win over the Colts and logged 16 of 60 offensive snaps. He made one catch for six yards, but that reception was negated due to a holding penalty, so Smith statistically ended up without a target. Wideouts Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) were both injured Sunday and have already been ruled out for Week 6, so Smith figures to have a good chance of being elevated again for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

The Giants reverted Cambre to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Cambre got his first chance on the gameday roster in Sunday's tie against Washington and played two snaps on offense along with 11 snaps on special teams. His lone stat was a tackle on kick coverage. With Odell Beckham having been released in late September, Cambre could get more elevations moving forward, though he's unlikely to have more than a minor role on offense barring injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.

Tillman reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Tillman was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's loss to Minnesota and logged one offensive snap without recording any other stats. He could get another chance on game day in Week 6 against the Giants since rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) isn't expected to be ready to come off injured reserve.

Jones reverted to Minnesota's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jones was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 5 win over New Orleans and caught his only target for 32 yards on six offensive snaps. He also logged 11 snaps on special teams and recovered a fumble on kick coverage. Jones' opportunity was partly a result of Jordan Addison (hamstring) being inactive and Odell Beckham being a healthy scratch, so there's no guarantee that Jones will be elevated again Week 7 versus Indianapolis following Minnesota's Week 6 bye.

The Vikings reverted Beckham to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Beckham signed to Minnesota's practice squad Wednesday and was elevated ahead of Sunday, but he ended up being a healthy scratch even though Jordan Addison (hamstring) didn't suit up. It remains to be seen how much of a role Beckham will have with the Vikings; he may need some time to familiarize himself with the playbook before being active on game day, and even then he probably won't be more than a depth option at wideout.

Allen caught five of nine targets for 45 yards in Sunday's Week 5 loss to Pittsburgh.

Allen missed Week 4 due to a groin injury but was able to return to action Sunday. His nine targets tied for the top mark on the Colts, and his five receptions were second behind tight end Tyler Warren. Allen has been relatively consistent this season with at least five catches in three of his four contests, but he's averaging a meager 8.1 yards per reception, which is on pace for a career low.

Thompkins reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Thompkins was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Patriots, ultimately reeling in his only target for eight yards while playing 13 of the team's 60 offensive snaps. The wide receiver also added three kick returns for 80 yards and an 18-yard punt return in the defeat. If Jalen Nailor (concussion) remains unavailable in Week 6 versus the Bills, there's a good chance that Thompkins is elevated again.

Westbrook-Ikhine reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Westbrook-Ikhine was elevated to the active roster for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Steelers. The wide receiver played seven snaps on offense, which was tied for fourth at his position with Deion Burks behind Josh Downs (60), Laquon Treadwell (57) and Keenan Allen (32). Westbrook-Ikhine failed to reel in his only target in the contest, and he will now have to be officially signed to the active roster in order to appear in another contest with Indianapolis this season.
