Robinson (groin) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Saints.

With Rashod Bateman (foot) -- who now is out for the season -- limited to 13 snaps in a Week 8 win over the Buccaneers, Robinson caught six of his season-high eight targets for 64 yards. As long as he's able to avoid any setbacks Monday, Robinson should continue to see added snaps alongside Devin Duvernay and James Proche, with practice squad elevations DeSean Jackson and Binjimen Victor also mixing in.

Irwin reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Irwin received the bump up to the active roster with Ja'Marr Chase (hip) missing Sunday's game against the Panthers. The 26-year-old saw the third-most snaps at receiver for the team with 36, which lead to a 14-yard catch on his only target. With the Bengals headed into a bye week and Chase eligible to return Week 11 against the Steelers, Irwin may not get a chance to suit up when Cincinnati takes the field again.

The Panthers signed Emezie to their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Emezie is a 24-year-old rookie wideout who played five seasons at NC State. He caught 60 passes for 802 yards and six touchdowns as a senior but went undrafted before participating in Carolina's rookie minicamp. He'll work to earn a spot on a Panthers squad that ranks near the bottom of the league in passing yards per game.

The Ravens have placed Bateman (foot) on injured reserve, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

With Bateman out for the season with a Lisfranc foot injury that will be surgically repaired, the Ravens will proceed with a wideout corps now led by Devin Duvernay that also includes Demarcus Robinson (groin), James Proche, Tylan Wallace, DeSean Jackson and Binjimen Victor.

Shenault (illness) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Darin Gantt of the the Panthers' official site reports.

As is the norm, Carolina didn't practice Monday, so Shenault's status is an estimation. It's unclear what type of illness he's dealing with, but given that the Panthers play Thursday, there's a possibility that the issue could impact his availability for the team's Week 10 clash against Atlanta. Shenault hasn't been a big part of Carolina's passing game this season, and he logged only three offensive snaps in Sunday's loss against Cincinnati.

Pierce had one reception for 23 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at New England.

Sam Ehlinger passed for just 103 yards as the Colts struggled in a blowout loss, so it's hard to read too much into this performance. Indy has a much better matchup at Las Vegas this week, but Ehlinger's struggles could limit Pierce to only a few deep balls per game.

The Lions waived Berryhill on Monday.

Berryhill was signed from Detroit's practice squad Saturday, and he played one of his eight snaps on offense during Sunday's 15-9 win over the Packers. The 24-year-old wideout was also elevated for the Lions' Week 8 loss to Miami, so it's likely that he will re-sign with the team's practice squad if he's unable to secure a spot on an active roster elsewhere. Either way, Berryhill will look to haul in the first catch of his career at some point this season.

Milne scored a six-yard touchdown on his lone target in Sunday' 20-17 loss to Minnesota.

The 2021 seventh-round pick had exactly one catch and one target for a fourth straight game, adding five punt returns for 41 yards in this one. Milne played only 10 snaps on offense, which was actually his second most this season, essentially making him the No. 5 receiver in playing time (with the possibility of dropping to No. 6 once Jahan Dotson comes back from his hamstring injury).

Brown finished without a catch on one target in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Minnesota.

Brown and Cam Sims essentially split the No. 3 WR role with Jahan Dotson (hamstring) missing another game, only it was Dax Milne who found the end zone on his lone target while playing just 16 percent of snaps. None of the bunch projects for much target volume in an offense built around Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and the running backs. Brown at least seems to have moved past the groin injury that held him out Week 8, so it's possible he takes more snaps away from Sims if Dotson misses another game Week 10 at Philadelphia.

Sims caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Minnesota.

Sims played 44 percent of snaps on offense, after four straight games at 59 percent or higher. It didn't make much difference in the final stat line, with this being his fifth week in a row with exactly one reception, though he did it on two targets rather than one the previous four times. Dyami Brown and Dax Milne also have gotten some playing time while Jahan Dotson (hamstring) has been on the shelf, and whatever slight opportunity Sims currently has will evaporate if Dotson, Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel are all healthy at the same time. It remains to be seen if Dotson can return for Week 10 at the Eagles or Week 11 at Houston.
