The 49ers signed Snead to the practice squad Wednesday.

Snead will rejoin San Francisco's practice squad after being added to the team's active roster ahead of Monday's win over the Rams. The veteran wideout, who has spent all but one week on the 49ers' practice squad since Aug. 31, did not get onto the field during this Week 4 matchup and was released Tuesday. Snead recorded four receptions over nine games with the Panthers and Raiders during the past two seasons, and he should provide emergency roster depth moving forward.

The Ravens will sign Isabella to their practice squad, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Isabella joins a receiving corps that lacks clarity behind top wideout Rashod Bateman. Considering Bateman didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot issue, Isabella could be elevated to the roster soon as this Sunday against the Bengals, assuming the team needs a healthy body at the position. In parts of four seasons as a Cardinal before he was waived Tuesday, Isabella, a 2019 second-round pick, recorded 33 catches (on 53 targets) for 447 yards and three touchdowns in 39 appearances.

Gray (hip) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Gray didn't practice last week due to a hip injury and was given a doubtful designation for Monday's game against the Rams, for which he eventually was inactive. However, the rookie third-round pick was able to take part in every drill to begin Week 5 prep, setting him up to be available Sunday in Carolina. If Jauan Jennings (ankle) -- who was a limited participant Wednesday -- is at all inhibited this weekend, Gray could be in line for a bigger workload than normal.

Jennings (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After Monday's 24-9 win against the Rams, head coach Kyle Shanahan told Josh Dubow of The Associated Press on Tuesday that Jennings was day-to-day due to an ankle injury. Jennings has upheld that statement by getting in some practice reps to begin Week 5 prep, and he'll have two more sessions to get back to full activity before the 49ers potentially give him a game-day designation for Sunday's contest at Carolina. On the season, Jennings has been lightly utilized behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, recording eight catches (on 15 targets) for 93 yards while playing 48.3 percent of the offensive snaps.

Palmer was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Palmer's status is worth tracking as Sunday's game against the Browns approaches, with Keenan Allen (hamstring) not practicing Wednesday and uncertain to return to the lineup this weekend. If Allen remains sidelined this weekend, Palmer, DeAndre Carter and possibly Michael Bandy would be in line for added opportunities versus the Browns.

Meyers (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Meyers was also limited in practices throughout the past week before missing a second straight game in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers. At this stage, it's unclear if he'll be available for this weekend's game against the Lions. If Meyers is cleared to suit up, he may be catching from a different quarterback, as Mac Jones (ankle) could miss a second straight game, and veteran backup Brian Hoyer is still in the concussion protocol after exiting early Week 4. Rookie Bailey Zappe would be in line to make his first NFL start if neither Jones nor Hoyer is available.

Wilson (ribs/toe) practiced fully Wednesday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Wilson was inactive for last Thursday's game against the Bengals, but his return to a full practice Wednesday sets the stage for him to rejoin the mix this weekend against the Jets. As long as Jaylen Waddle (groin) is available for the contest, however, Wilson will likely have to compete with Trent Sherfield for the remaining wideout targets that don't go in the direction of Waddle or Tyreek Hill.

Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown showed up on the Cardinals' Week 4 injury report Friday and was listed as a limited participant due to rest/foot. He was able to play Sunday at Carolina and earned a typical 94 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to six catches (on 11 targets) for 88 yards and one touchdown. However, Brown now isn't practicing at all to begin Week 5 prep, so his status bears watching as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

Doss signed with the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday.

Doss spent training camp with the Giants, but he was unable to make the team. He'll now get an opportunity in L.A., which still has Keenan Allen dealing with a hamstring injury, and also lost Jalen Guyton (knee) for the year in Week 3.

Perriman (knee/hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Perriman didn't practice at all last week while dealing with knee and hamstring injuries before the Bucs made him inactive this past Sunday against the Chiefs. He's thus logging his first on-field work since suiting up Week 3, while all of Chris Godwin (knee), Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) also had their reps capped. As a result, the status of Tampa Bay's receiving corps again is in flux as the team prepares for a Week 5 matchup with the Falcons.
