Ali reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Ali was elevated to the active roster for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's win over the Cardinals. However, the undrafted rookie never wound up seeing the field despite being active for the contest. Ali will now have a chance to make his NFL debut if he is once again elevated for the regular-season finale versus Carolina this coming Sunday.

Treadwell caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.

Tyler Lockett returned to the lineup but missed a major chunk of the game due to a leg injury, so Treadwell played 55 percent of the snaps. He handled an 85 percent share in Week 16. He appears to be the clear No. 3 in this offense right now because Marquise Goodwin (shoulder) is on injured reserve. However, Treadwell's role will be scaled back significantly if Lockett is healthy heading into Week 18 versus the Rams.

Lockett caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets in Week 17.

Lockett returned from a one-week absence due to a hand injury, but he picked up a leg injury during the game and ended up playing just 22 snaps (31 percent). While he did return to the game, it will be worth monitoring Lockett's status during the week ahead of the regular-season finale versus the Rams. The Seahawks are still in the playoff hunt, so if Lockett is active, we should expect him to handle his typical role.

The Bills elevated Beasley from the practice squad to their active roster for Monday's matchup against Cincinnati, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Beasley will be active for a third straight game. He's caught his lone target for nine yards in both of his past two appearances, totaling 15 offensive snaps in those games. The veteran wideout figures to see a similar role during Monday Night Football.

Shenault caught two of three targets for 13 yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

Shenault struggled to make an impact while fellow depth wideout Shi Smith enjoyed his best game of the season, catching four targets for 70 yards and a score. To end the campaign, Shenault will face a Saints defense that he caught two passes for 90 yards and a touchdown against while making his Panthers debut in Week 3.

Marshall caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

Marshall also coughed the ball up twice but didn't lose either fumble. The wideout had topped 50 yards in consecutive contests entering Sunday, so he'll strive to bounce back and finish the season strong Week 18 versus his home-state Saints.

Pettis returned to Chicago on a separate flight Sunday night after briefly checking into a hospital with blurred vision, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Pettis failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Lions and played a season-low 14 snaps. He was taken to a hospital following the game, but he cleared concussion protocol and was able to fly home Sunday night. However, it's unclear if the fifth-year wideout will be able to practice during Week 18 prep.

Moore caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

After catching at least three passes in each of New York's first four games, Moore has totaled three or more receptions only twice since Week 5. His disappointing sophomore season will come to a close in Week 18 against the Dolphins. Moore heads into that game with just 36 catches for 435 yards and one touchdown in 15 appearances after racking up 43 catches for 538 yards and five touchdowns over 11 games as a rookie.

Berrios caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

Berrios added a pair of kickoff returns for 51 yards and two punt returns for eight yards. He has caught multiple passes in only three games this season after notching at least five receptions five times in 2021.

Thielen had one reception for 16 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

Thielen's role in the offense has declined the past three games while T.J. Hockenson's grows larger. Thielen has just five receptions and 15 targets his last three games, while Hockenson has 37 targets. Neither player may get many targets this week against Chicago as Minnesota may decide to rest or even bench their starters ahead of the playoffs.
