Higgins (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Higgins has missed the Bengals' last two games after injuring his quad in practice 11 days ago. He's yet to practice since the injury, and the Bengals now have a short week ahead of a Thursday night contest against the division rival Ravens. Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin will continue to fill snaps alongside Ja'Marr Chase if Higgins is unable to play versus Baltimore.

Callaway was elevated to the Buccaneers' active roster from the practice squad Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Callaway signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in mid-October, and he's now in line to make his 2024 debut in Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs. The Tennessee product appeared in just three games with the Saints in 2023, recording no stats across 27 offensive snaps. Expect Callaway to serve as a depth piece in a depleted Buccaneers wide-receiver room in Week 9.

Brown (knee) will be considered day-to-day, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown's tests on his knee came back clean, and Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer had previously reported that Brown wasn't looking at an extended absence. It sounds like Brown might have a real chance to play next Sunday against the Cowboys despite not playing the second half against the Jaguars in Week 9.

Brown (knee) is not expected to miss a significant amount of time, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Coach Nick Sirianni refused to address the status of Brown in his session with the media Monday. Brown came out of the locker room after halftime but quickly went back down the tunnel early in the third quarter before the Eagles even took the field on offense. His day was over, and Brown was ruled out for the remainder of the Week 9 contest. Brown underwent an MRI on Monday, but it sounds like he avoided a serious injury. It's unclear what his availability will be for next Sunday's date with the Cowboys. Philly will return to practice Wednesday.

Washington was not targeted during Miami's 30-27 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He rushed once for nine yards.

Washington played nearly double the amount of offensive snaps (35 percent) as Odell Beckham, but the veteran wideout managed to draw three more targets. A rookie sixth-round pick, Washington's only offensive touch Sunday came in the form of a nine-yard carry, and the only punt return he fielded went for minus-1 yard. Washington will look to make more of an impact on the road versus the Rams on Monday Night Football.

Beckham secured all three of his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.

It took Beckham four games to record his first catches in a Dolphins uniform, but the veteran wideout managed to make an impact on offense during Miami's narrow divisional defeat Sunday. He continues to play less than 20 percent of offensive snaps, however, meaning Beckham's target share may not remain consistent heading into a road matchup against the Rams on Monday Night Football. Malik Washington now has gone back-to-back games without a target, but he's consistently played roughly twice the amount of offensive snaps per game as Beckham.

Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London (hip) is considered day-to-day, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Morris added that it's a pain-tolerance issue for London after he suffered the hip pointer after catching a touchdown early in the Falcons' win over the Cowboys on Sunday. London finished with two catches for 27 yards and the score on his two targets in roughly one quarter of action. London's practice reps likely will be managed ahead of next Sunday's date with the Saints.

Humphrey caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.

Humphrey played 35 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, finishing second in wide-receiver snaps behind Courtland Sutton (61). Additionally, the veteran wideout also earned the second-most targets behind Sutton while operating as the team's No. 2 receiver. Humphrey is having an underwhelming 2024 campaign, recording just 21 receptions for 188 yards through nine games. The 26-year-old should not be trusted for fantasy purposes as the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 10.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that he expects Burton to play Thursday at Baltimore, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Burton was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, but it appears he'll get a chance to play in Week 9. If Tee Higgins (quadricep) misses his third straight game Thursday, Burton may even have a realistic path to a significant role on the boundary.

Franklin caught one of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.

Franklin finished Sunday's game third in targets behind fellow wideouts Courtland Sutton (10) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (five). Unfortunately, the rookie receiver was only able to reel in one pass from quarterback Bo Nix. Though Nix and Franklin have begun to develop their chemistry in the NFL after playing together at Oregon, the pair will likely continue to be inconsistent as the Broncos' offense goes through growing pains during the 2024 campaign. Franklin will look to bounce back in Week 10, albeit in a tough matchup against the division-rival Chiefs.
