  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Unlikely to play Monday

    Golden (shoulder) isn't expected to play Monday against the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Golden didn't practice Friday or Saturday due to a shoulder injury ahead of the Packers listing him as questionable for Week 10 action. He's now slated to miss the first game of his career, and with two other wide receivers also listed as questionable -- Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) -- Green Bay has only three players at the position completely cleared for Monday's game (Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Malik Heath). Golden's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Unlikely to practice this week

    Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers don't intend to open Aiyuk's (knee) practice window this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Aiyuk remains in the rehab stages of the torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in his right knee Week 7 of last season. Shanahan told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com last Wednesday that he's "pretty confident" Aiyuk will play at some point this season, but it's unlikely to happen this coming Sunday and probably for at least a few more weeks after that point.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: May practice Wednesday

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Pearsall (knee) has a chance to practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Pearsall hasn't practiced since initially suffering a PCL injury in his right knee Week 4, but he has worked out on the side on multiple occasions in recent weeks. Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com that "hopefully the next two days go good, and if they do, he'll be back out there. ... He had a good weekend." Wednesday's injury report not only will reveal if Pearsall was able to mix back into drills, but if No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (toe) has put himself in a position for his own first game action since Week 4.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Zay Jones: To be placed on IR

    Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Jones will be placed on injured reserve due to an Achilles injury, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Gannon didn't specifically say that Jones tore his Achilles, but he'll miss at least the next four games as a result of the injury that he sustained during Sunday's loss at Seattle. Through eight appearances this season, Jones has hauled in 12 of 18 targets for 183 yards and no touchdowns. Greg Dortch figures to take on a larger role in Jones' absence.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks

    Wilson is expected to be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks due to a knee sprain sustained during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Wilson underwent an MRI on Monday, and it's at least encouraging that his knee injury won't require surgery or a long-term stint on the sideline. That said, Wilson had missed the Jets' prior two games before briefly returning to action Week 10, and he now looks set to sit out until Week 14 against the Dolphins at the earliest. Assuming Wilson is indeed officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Patriots, whomever of Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor is named the starting quarterback will have to rely on receivers Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, John Metchie, Allen Lazard, tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall as his top pass catchers.

  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: One catch in win

    TeSlaa caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.

    TeSlaa was expected to be more involved on offense in Week 10, and he did play 19 offensive snaps, which was 16 higher than Week 9 and his highest amount since Week 6. Although he did see more action, the wide receiver was still unable to record the first multi-catch performance of his career. TeSlaa will look to get more involved moving forward, starting Week 11 against the Eagles.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Ruled out for Week 11

    Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that McLaurin will not play in next Sunday's game against the Dolphins, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    It's another early-week rule out for McLaurin, who doesn't seem to be particularly close to a return in what has turned into a lost season for the Commanders. This could also go down as a lost season for McLaurin, who has appeared in just four games, though he's left a pair of those early with quadriceps issues. Deebo Samuel and Treylon Burks (finger) paced the Washington wide receivers in playing time Week 10 against the Lions, followed by Robbie Chosen, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore in that order. McLaurin will have the Week 12 bye to try and get ready for a Week 13 date with the Broncos.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Managing ankle sprain

    Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman sustained an ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Vikings, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Bateman's injury forced him to don a walking boot after Sunday's win, but Harbaugh said he expects the veteran wideout "to be OK." Harbaugh declined to specify whether Bateman is expected to miss any time, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, so his practice activity this week will be telling. In the event that Bateman isn't able to suit up on the road against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 16, wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace, as well as No. 2 tight end Isaiah Likely, could benefit from increased target opportunities.

  • 49ers' Jordan Watkins: No targets against Rams

    Watkins was limited to three snaps on offense (five percent) and did not garner a target in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Watkins was held without a reception for the first time in the three games since returning from a calf injury. The fourth-round pick has watched his targets dwindle from two to one before finishing with zero in Sunday's loss. That is a concerning trend for those hoping the rookie would carve out a role for the injury-depleted 49ers this season. Watkins is off the fantasy radar for next Sunday's tilt against the Cardinals.

  • Skyy Moore WR | SF

    49ers' Skyy Moore: Reception in consecutive games

    Moore secured his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Moore recorded a reception in consecutive games for the first time this season. The return specialist logged 11 snaps on offense (17 percent) while running back one punt and one kickoff in the loss to a division foe. Moore's role on offense remains too small for the receiver to make a fantasy impact against the Cardinals next Sunday.
