Sanders reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sanders was elevated to the active roster for Week 8 and made his NFL debut, playing 14 of Miami's 68 offensive snaps. The undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss caught both of his targets for 17 yards, though he did lose a fumble trying to get extra yards following one of his receptions. The Dolphins' wideout corps is relatively healthy heading into Sunday's matchup against the Bears, so it appears unlikely Sanders sees a second straight elevation.

Collins (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Collins was inactive Sunday against the Titans, with Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle relaying via coach Lovie Smith that "it's going to be hard" for the wideout to be ready for Thursday night's game against the Eagles. If Collins remains out, Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore once again would see added WR snaps Week 9 alongside Brandin Cooks.

Berryhill reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With Amon-Ra St. Brown questionable due to a concussion, Berryhill was elevated to the active roster and made his season debut in Week 8. However, St. Brown was ultimately deemed available, leaving Berryhill to play exclusively on special teams. The Lions appear to have avoided any further injuries to their wideout corps during the loss to Miami, so it's unlikely Berryhill sees another elevation in Week 9.

Camp reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Camp was bumped up from the practice squad with Nico Collins (groin) out, but he was ultimately one of the team's inactive payers Sunday against the Titans. He'll continue working to earn a chance to suit up with the active roster.

The Chiefs signed Newsome to the practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Newsome will finally find a new home after being waived by the Bears in late August. The 2021 sixth-round pick caught two of his five targets for 23 yards over Chicago's final three games last season, and he compiled 75 punt-return yards over this span. Newsome's value as a speedster and return specialist may not be enough to crack Kansas City's deep corps of wide receivers this season, barring any serious injuries to this group.

Alexander (ankle) reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Alexander only played one offensive snap against the Dolphins on Sunday, but he made it count with a catch for seven yards. He also contributed on special teams, returning a kick for 17 yards. Whether or not Alexander can earn another chance with the active roster will likely depend on how quickly he can recover from the ankle injury he suffered during the contest.

The Saints re-signed Kirkwood to the practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Kirkwood has helped fill in for New Orleans' depleted receiving corps since first signing with the team's practice squad in late September. The 27-year-old caught both of his targets for 18 yards between Weeks 5 and 6, but he then battled a brief ankle injury and has spent time on and off the team's active roster over the past two weeks. Kirkwood was already elevated from the practice squad once this season, and he'll be eligible for two more such activations with the Saints moving forward.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that he expects Kupp (ankle) to play this coming Sunday against the Buccaneers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Per Rodrigue, McVay noted that Kupp has some tissue swelling in his ankle but added that the Rams' top receiver avoided structural damage. It's still likely that Kupp's practice participation this week will be affected by the ankle issue he sustained Week 8 versus the 49ers, but at this stage, he's trending toward playing in Tampa Bay.

Snead was cut by the 49ers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Snead was signed to the team's active roster from their practice squad Saturday, as Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings were both out due to hamstring injuries. Despite playing 21 snaps on offense against the Rams, he failed to see a target. He'll now look for an opportunity elsewhere, although it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately ended up back with the 49ers' practice squad.

Allen (hamstring) didn't practice Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Allen returned to action Week 7 for the first time since the season opener, but he didn't play in the second half after feeling like he couldn't accelerate off his injured leg. It was assumed the Chargers' Week 8 bye would provide further rest and rehab for the star wideout, but it appears he's still not 100 percent yet. His absence Monday isn't overly concerning, but if he remains sidelined from practice later in the week, it's very possible Allen misses his sixth game of the season Week 9.
