Saints' Equanimeous St. Brown: Elevated from practice squad
Rotowire
St. Brown is being elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The saints are a mess on offense, with QB Derek Carr (oblique), TE Taysom Hill (ribs) and WRs Chris Olave (head) and Rashid Shaheed (IR - knee) all expected to miss Thursday's game.

He has 110 career targets on 1,614 snaps and has never recorded more than 328 receiving yards in a season.

Equanimeous St. Brown: Doesn't make Saints' 53-man roster
Rotowire
The Saints released St. Brown on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
St. Brown missed the first half of training camp due to a hamstring injury. He was able to suit up for the Saints' last two preseason games, and against the Titans on Sunday, he caught three passes on four targets for 40 yards and one touchdown. St. Brown should receive plenty of interest from teams in need of wide receiver depth, and the 2018 sixth-round pick could be on an NFL roster before Week 1.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Looking good for Sunday
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
St. Brown has missed the last three games due to a pectoral injury, but he appears to be on track to return this Sunday against the Falcons.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Misses another practice
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
St. Brown has missed Chicago's last two games with this pectoral issue, and he's now opened the team's week of practice with consecutive DNPs.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Opens Week 15 with practice absence
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
St. Brown and fellow wideout DJ Moore (ankle) both opened the week as spectators for practice, though Moore was able to play through the injury in last week's win over the Lions and looks likely at this stage to be available for Sunday's game against the Browns. Meanwhile, St. Brown was sidelined against Detroit, and his inability to practice Wednesday doesn't provide much early optimism that he'll be back in action this weekend. Even if St. Brown is able to overcome the pectoral injury and gain clearance for Sunday's contest, he won't be a high-priority option in Chicago's passing attack.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Out Sunday, viewed as week-to-week
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Lions.
According to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic, head coach Matt Eberflus labeled St. Brown as "week-to-week," so the veteran wideout could be in line to miss game action beyond Sunday after he wasn't able to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday. St. Brown's upcoming absence becomes all the more interesting after depth receivers Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) were added to the injury report Friday and are listed as questionable for Sunday. It's more a problem for the Bears than fantasy managers, as Chicago uses three-receiver sets less often than most teams and hasn't provided many targets for any pass catchers besides wideout DJ Moore and tight end Cole Kmet. Even No. 2 wide receiver Darnell Mooney has struggled to stay involved while playing a vast majority of the snaps on offense week after week.
