Jackson Meeks WR | DET
Jackson Meeks: Goes back to practice squad
The Lions reverted Meeks to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Meeks was elevated for Detroit's loss to Philadelphia on Sunday and played one offensive snap, logging no output. The elevation was his second of the campaign, so Meeks can be elevated one more time this season. The undrafted rookie is still looking for his first NFL touch.

Tom Kennedy WR | DET
Tom Kennedy: Returns to practice squad
Kennedy reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Kennedy was elevated from the Lions' practice squad for the first time this season to provide depth at wide receiver in case Isaac TeSlaa was unable to play Sunday against the Lions due to an oblique injury. TeSlaa was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups, which led to Kennedy being a healthy scratch for Sunday's loss. Kennedy is eligible to be elevated to Detroit's active roster twice more this season.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Bills' Gabe Davis: Reverts to practice squad
Davis reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Davis was listed as a starter for the Bills' 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he registered three catches (on four targets) for 40 yards. He played 23 of 56 snaps on offense (41 percent) which was fifth most among Bills wide receivers, largely due to Keon Coleman and Elijah Moore both being healthy scratches for Week 11. Even if Coleman and Moore were to be active for Thursday's game against the Texans, Davis could still be elevated to the active roster due to injuries to fellow wideouts Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle), Curtis Samuel (elbow/neck) and Mecole Hardman (calf).

Alex Bachman WR | LV
Raiders' Alex Bachman: Healthy scratch Week 11
Bachman (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Bachman will be sidelined for the second time this season, though this time its as a healthy scratch rather than due to injury. He has mostly served on special teams, but his absence means the Raiders will go with four active wide receivers in Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton. Bachman's next opportunity to play is Sunday against Cleveland.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited to one reception
Wicks was targeted twice and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.
Wicks finished third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but he saw only a quarter of the season-high eight targets he drew in Week 10. He's getting some opportunities, but he has racked up only 18 receptions and 181 yards through eight appearances this season, and his playing time will likely take a hit when Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot, IR) is ready to rejoin the fray.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Makes key play in win
Williams was targeted once and caught one pass for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants. He also returned one kickoff for 33 yards.
Williams did not see a pass go in his direction until the fourth quarter, but he made the most of his lone target, tallying the longest reception of his rookie season on a scoring drive that provided the Packers with the final margin of victory. Williams has been more involved in the box score than he was early in the campaign, but he logged only two snaps Sunday and six the week before, so his chances to produce remain limited.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Limited by ankle issue
Collins was limited at Monday's walkthrough due to an ankle injury.
Collins previously dealt with a knee issue and a concussion this season, so this is a new concern for the fifth-year pro ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills. Meanwhile, C.J. Stroud (concussion) was a DNP on Monday, and Davis Mills seems poised for another start under center in Week 12. Working with Mills the past two contests, Collins put together a 16-228-1 line on 25 targets.

Mecole Hardman WR | BUF
Bills' Mecole Hardman: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Hardman (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
The Bills held a walkthrough Monday after beating the Bucs on Sunday. In his first game with the team Sunday, Hardman played four offensive snaps and seven on special teams. He failed to catch his lone target and returned one kickoff for 61 yards while fumbling his lone punt-return opportunity.
-
Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Bills' Curtis Samuel: Misses practice Monday
Samuel (elbow/neck) did not participate in Monday's walkthrough practice.
Samuel played a season-high 52 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers in Week 11, securing two of three targets for 19 yards, but he appears to have picked up a pair of injuries in the process. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field as the Bills prepare for a road matchup against the Texans on Thursday Night Football. Samuel's increased opportunities versus Tampa Bay came with Keon Coleman being made a health scratch and Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) inactive. Those factors remain in flux for Week 12, but at the least it seems likely that Coleman will return to the lineup versus Houston.
