Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers expect Kittle (hamstring) to practice this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

San Francisco has yet to designate Kittle to return from injured reserve, which will need to happen for the tight end to mix into drills. The team resumes practicing Wednesday in advance of next Sunday's game against the Falcons, meaning the aforementioned transaction may transpire before then. In any case, Kittle appears poised to put the finishing touches on his recovery from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 1.

New York signed Wells to the practice squad Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Wells spent the offseason with New York but was cut in advance of Week 1. He and Giants starting quarterback Jaxson Dart demonstrated clear chemistry during their time together at Ole Miss, and given that New York is in need of added playmakers at the wide receiver position with Malik Nabers (ACL) done for the year, it's conceivable that Wells could earn an opportunity to make an impact.

Knox figures to see added opportunities Monday night against the Falcons, with fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (oblique) inactive for the contest.

With Kincaid, who leads the Bills with 287 receiving yards through five games, unavailable, Knox -- who has logged a 6/54/0 receiving line in that span -- represents a late plug-in option for fantasy managers who would normally rely on Kincaid. Jackson Hawes (who has four catches for 54 yards and a TD thus far) is Buffalo's other active tight end Monday.

Moore is active for Monday night's game against the Falcons.

Moore was healthy inactive last Sunday night against New England, but with Curtis Samuel (neck) out Monday night, Moore will draw back into the lineup. Moore has four catches for 64 scoreless yards this season.

Brooks (concussion) is active for Monday night's game against the Bills.

Brooks was placed in the concussion protocol after being injured in Week 4, but the Week 5 bye came at the right time for the cornerback. He's logged 26 special-teams snaps this season.

Bowman (knee) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bills.

Bowman was added to the injury report Friday and wasn't cleared to play in Monday night's contest. Dee Alford and Mike Ford project to see increased snaps on defense in Bowman's absence.

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against Buffalo.

Once again, the Falcons will go with just two running backs on the gameday roster, as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier will handle all backfield duties.

McCloud (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bills.

Even with Darnell Mooney (hamstring) ruled out, McCloud will be a healthy inactive against Buffalo. It's pretty surprising considering the Falcons' lack of proven wide receivers behind Drake London, but Atlanta will roll with Casey Washington, David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge and Jamal Agnew behind London versus Buffalo.

Bullard did not suffer a concussion in Sunday's win over the Bengals, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Bullard passed the concussion check Sunday and said it felt more like a stinger. It's still unclear if he will be able to play in next Sunday's Week 7 game against the Cardinals. Bullard has posted 27 tackles (19 solo) on 71 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps through five appearances.

Samuel (neck/ribs) is inactive for Monday's road game against Atlanta.

Samuel was initially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup after logging a LP-DNP-LP practice slate, but he ultimately won't go. With Buffalo set to benefit from a Week 7 bye, Samuel will have extra time to get healthy and work to get back on the field Week 8 versus the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. With Samuel sidelined, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer are in line to lead the Bills' Week 6 WR corps, while Brandon Codrington and Ty Johnson will operate as the team's top kick returners.
