  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Quiet in return to action Monday

    Brown (hamstring) finished with two receptions (on three targets) for 13 yards in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.

    Brown used the Eagles' bye week to recover from a hamstring injury that wound up costing him just one game on the schedule. The 28-year-old handled a full week of practice leading up to Monday's contest and showed no visible limitations running routes. The poor fantasy night was more the result of a grueling defensive battle that went scoreless for two-plus quarters. Brown will have a better opportunity to shine in a softer matchup at home against the Lions on Sunday Night Football in Week 11.

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Game-high 69 yards plus TD

    Smith finished with four receptions (on seven targets) for 69 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 10-7 win over Green Bay.

    In a game that featured three points scored through three quarters, Smith finally broke the silence with a 34-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth. Fellow star wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) returned to action after fully healing over the bye week, but his 2-13-0 receiving line didn't affect Smith's hot streak. The latter is averaging 6.2 receptions and 99.8 yards over his last five appearances for the Eagles. Smith is looking like a WR1 heading into another primetime matchup Week 11 when Philadelphia hosts Detroit.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Busy night in return

    Wicks hauled in four of eight targets for 38 yards in the Packers' 10-7 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

    Wicks' return from a two-game absence due to a calf injury saw him log a team-high number of targets while also finishing as the runner-up in receptions and receiving yards. Matthew Golden's (shoulder) inactive status and Romeo Doubs' exit with a chest injury both helped Wicks' cause Monday night, and the latter could be in for an expanded role again in a Week 11 road matchup against the Giants if at least one of his two teammates is sidelined.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Big gains on both catches

    Watson secured two of four targets for 45 yards in the Packers' 10-7 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

    Watson recorded gains of 20 and 25 yards on his pair of grabs, the latter getting the Packers out of the shadow of their own goalposts just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. His yardage total was a team-high figure, and he's now averaged over 20.0 yards per reception in all three games he's played this season. Romeo Doubs' early exit Monday due to a chest injury and Matthew Golden's (shoulder) inactive status both played a part in Watson continuing to operate as a primary downfield option, and that may persist in a Week 11 road matchup against the Giants if one or both of his teammates remain sidelined.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | GB

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Dealing with chest injury

    Doubs is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles due to a chest injury, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

    Doubs was holding his chest following a Packers possession in the fourth quarter and was later spotted walking into the locker room. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Green Bay continues to lose pass-catching options. Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks will operate as the team's top receivers so long as Doubs is held out.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Commanders' Robbie Chosen: Back to practice squad

    Chosen reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Chosen played 15 of 54 offensive snaps during the Commanders' 44-22 loss to the Lions on Sunday, when he caught one pass on four targets for 17 yards. Chosen will likely be elevated to the Commanders' active roster for a third and final time ahead of Week 11 against the Dolphins this Sunday, as both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) have been ruled out for that contest.

  • Giants' Ray-Ray McCloud: Returns to practice squad

    McCloud reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    McCloud didn't record a target during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears, but his 20 snaps on offense were fourth most among Giants wide receivers behind Wan'Dale Robinson (72), Darius Slayton (45) and Gunner Olszewski (28), while Jalin Hyatt was active but did not play. McCloud is eligible to be elevated to the Giants' active roster once more this season, which could happen as soon as Week 11 against the Packers this Sunday.

  • Ricky White: Sent back to practice squad

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

    White was elevated for the second straight week ahead of Sunday's win against Arizona. The rookie wideout logged six offensive snaps without getting any targets or touches and also played four snaps on special teams. Both Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf) missed Sunday's contest, and White's chances of getting elevated again this Sunday versus the Rams could depend on the health of those two players.

  • Dante Pettis WR | NO

    Dante Pettis: Placed back on practice squad

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

    Pettis was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's win over Carolina. He played six snaps on special teams, returning one kick for 31 yards and two punts for eight yards. Pettis took over return duties for Rashid Shaheed, who was traded to Seattle early in the week.

  • Tim Jones WR | JAC

    Tim Jones: Back to practice squad

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

    Jones played 23 snaps (five on offense, 18 on special teams) and recorded one tackle on kick coverage during the Jaguars' 36-29 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time this season, and that could happen for the Jaguars' Week 11 clash against the Chargers if Brian Thomas (ankle) is unable to play.
