Dorsett (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Dorsett hauled in three of his four targets for 46 yards and a TD in Monday night's 33-0 win over the Jets. Since he made it through with no reported setbacks in that contest, we'd expect him to be available this weekend versus the Browns. When the Patriots acquired Mohamed Sanu, it looked like Dorsett's role in the offense would take a hit, but now that Josh Gordon (knee) is on IR, he figures to continue to see his share of snaps and targets in the coming weeks, though eventually Dorsett could lose touches to rookie N'Keal Harry, who is eligible to be activated off IR in advance of Week 9.

Treadwell will serve as the No. 3 receiver with Adam Thielen (hamstring) ruled out, Paul Hodowanic of the Pioneer Press reports.

Treadwell struggled to find his footing with the Vikings for three years after they selected him 23rd overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, and the team cut him Aug. 31. He was brought back in late September, and now he'll finally get back into a starting role. Fantasy gamers should understand by now that Treadwell's upside is limited, however, as he posted just 35 receptions for 302 yards and a score over 15 games last year.

Berrios (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

It looks as though Berrios picked up a hamstring issue during Monday's loss to the Patriots. If the second-year pro were forced to miss any time, Jamison Crowder would step up as New York's primary punt returner.

Adams (toe) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Adams provided a glimmer of hope that he was taking another step in his recovery, taking part in warmups before leaving the field at the start of position drills, per Schneidman. The latter should have been an indication Adams would have DNP next to his name on the Packers' ensuing injury report, but coach Matt LaFleur kept the door open for a return on Sunday night at Kansas City. "I think it could go right up to game time, to be truthful," LaFleur told Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Adams will help his cause by increasing his on-field work Thursday and/or Friday, at which point he'll get a gameday designation. Ultimately, the Packers don't have to make a decision on his availability until 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, making him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups if he doesn't make the requisite progress.

Perriman (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Perriman managed to put Tampa Bay's bye to good use, and he appears fully recovered from the hamstring issue that caused him to miss the last two games. The 2015 first-round pick is on track for Sunday's tilt against the Titans, but he could now be facing competition from Scott Miller for the No. 3 receiver role. In the two contests that Perriman missed, Miller caught three of nine targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. Perriman himself has notched only three catches (on 12 targets) for 16 yards across four appearances.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Taylor (foot) may not return after eight weeks on injured reserve, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

After being placed on IR on Sept. 20, Taylor had a chance to return to the lineup Week 11 against the Cardinals, but a setback will extend his recovery time. However, he hasn't been ruled out for the year. The third-year pro likely will have a limited role in the offense if he's able to return after the 49ers acquired Emmanuel Sanders via trade from the Broncos.

Smith (ankle) was held out of practice Wednesday.

Smith has played in just one game since suffering an ankle injury Week 2, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight to his recovery. If he's unable to make the requisite progress and suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals, he'll have the Saints' ensuing bye week to continue the rehab process with an eye toward a return.

The Seahawks signed Hart (undisclosed) to the practice squad Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Hart appears fully recovered from his undisclosed injury. The undrafted rookie out of Georgia State spent time with the Colts during the offseason, and he'll now look to show well on Seattle's practice squad.

Kirk (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

As coach Kliff Kingsbury has noted a number of times, the last step in Kirk's recovery from a right ankle injury will be adeptly cutting while running routes. Until he reaches that point without issue, Kirk may not be listed as more than "limited" on Cardinals injury reports. Fortunately for the second-year wide receiver, he has two more chances this week to make an impression on the team's training staff.

Sims (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Sims was able to practice in a limited fashion Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's still in danger of missing the first game of his career. The Kansas University product has only been targeted nine times in seven games, and Kelvin Harmon figures to bump into the No. 4 wideout role if Sims can't go.
