Fountain (illness) was restored to the Chiefs' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Fountain landed on the COVID list last week but is now clear of the health and safety protocols. He's appeared in two games for the Chiefs this season and primarily played special teams.

Robinson posted a pair of catches for 15 yards on his two targets Sunday versus the Steelers.

Robinson had some mild success in the early part of the schedule but has done very little to impact the offense for a while, compiling just 10 catches for 86 yards on 17 targets over the team's last nine games. There's nothing to suggest his involvement will increase in the coming weeks.

Hardman racked up three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown on five targets Sunday versus the Steelers.

After a couple of down weeks in his offensive involvement, Hardman has seen his usage spike again in the last couple of weeks, seeing a combined nine targets. He's also been looked to in the red zone three times in the last pair of weeks, which is a good sign after he went without a look in that area in the two games prior. Even so, Hardman remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues with just 50 catches for 537 yards and a pair of scores on the season.

Hightower has landed on the Eagles' practice squad COVID-19 list.

Via Adam Schefter of ESPN, Hightower tested positive for the virus. Thus, he will not be eligible to return to practice until he clears the NFL's health and safety protocols.

Harris' suspension was lifted Tuesday, but he remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Harris found himself on the COVID-19 list Sunday, just one day before he was set to fulfill his three-game ban for violating the NFL's policy and program for substances of abuse. If he clears amended league protocols in time to play Week 17 against the Panthers, he'd join Marquez Callaway, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and potentially Tre'Quan Smith (chest) as the primary wide receivers for whoever happens to be available at quarterback for the Saints.

Thompson reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Thompson played six special teams snaps but didn't record any counting stats during Sunday's loss to the Bears. The 25-year-old has now been elevated four times this season and has only managed a total of four offensive snaps.

Sills reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Sills played 15 of the team's 76 offensive snaps and caught his only target for five yards. He also played seven special-team snaps. If the Giants' wideout corps remains depleted, Sills may get another elevation in Week 17.

Powell reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Powell played just one offensive snap during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Vikings. However, he made his presence felt on special teams once again, notching two punt returns for 75 yards -- including a 61-yard return for a touchdown.

Bandy reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bandy played 10 offensive snaps and six special-team snaps during Sunday's loss to the Texans. He didn't receive a target, but he did return four kickoffs for 88 yards. If Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton are unable to clear protocols this week, Bandy may see a similar workload in Week 17.

Johnson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson played 18 of the Raiders' 69 offensive snaps and five special-team snaps, but he didn't record any counting stats. The 25-year-old has appeared in three games for Las Vegas this season, but he hasn't garnered a target across 21 total offensive snaps.
