  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Makes three grabs

    Aiyuk caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Monday night's 31-10 win over the Rams.

    Aiyuk didn't approach his production from last week's breakout, but he still showed his exciting after-the-catch ability with a 21-yard gain during the first half. With the Niners leading comfortably for the majority of Monday's contest, resulting in 44 rushing attempts, only tight end George Kittle saw more than five targets. San Francisco will strive to be similarly dominant in Week 11 versus Jacksonville, and Aiyuk's matchup could enable him to make a bigger impact.

  • Breshad Perriman: Reverts to practice squad

    Perriman reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Perriman was elevated prior to Week 10 and was in on two offensive snaps in the loss to Washington. This marked the first game action he's seen all season.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Good numbers in defeat

    Kupp caught 11 of 13 targets for 122 yards in Monday night's 31-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Kupp once again put up big numbers, but most his production came with the outcome of the game already decided. Nonetheless, the Rams being in catch-up mode enabled Kupp to haul in double-digit passes for the third time this season, while he surpassed 100 yards for the sixth time. Although it remains to be seen whether the loss of teammate Robert Woods (knee) and addition of Odell Beckham will impact Kupp's sky-high stock at all, the Rams now entering their bye week and it will give the entire offense extra time to adjust ahead of the Week 12 game versus the Packers.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | SF

    49ers' Deebo Samuel: Dominant in Monday's win

    Samuel caught all five of his targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 31-10 win over the Rams. He also rushed five times for 36 yards and another score.

    Samuel was outstanding, again proving to be one of the league's best wide receivers and hardest players to tackle. His 40-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-six play to begin the fourth quarter capped off a performance in which he punished the Rams consistently. Samuel even did so out of the backfield, where he was San Francisco's most efficient runner and scored an eight-yard touchdown during the first half. Overall, his full complement of skills were on display in another excellent outing and the Week 11 matchup versus the Jaguars could prove similarly fruitful.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Steven Sims: Reverts to practice squad

    Sims reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Sims got the nod with Chase Claypool (toe) out against the Lions on Sunday. He saw five snaps on offense, but he never received a target. Depending on Claypool's availability going forward, Sims will work toward another opportunity with the active roster.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Rams' Ben Skowronek: Playing Monday

    Skowronek (thigh) is active for Monday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Skowronek made a late appearance on the Rams' Week 10 injury report, logging no activity Saturday due to a thigh injury. It won't prevent him from suiting up Monday, and there's also an expectation he may enter the starting lineup in the wake of Robert Woods' torn ACL, per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. Such a development may come to pass, but the rookie seventh-round pick has just three receptions (on three targets) for 30 yards in seven appearances to date. Skowronek also will have to contend for snaps and looks from Matthew Stafford with Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson and newcomer Odell Beckham. As a result, a wait-and-see approach may be the prudent one to take with Skowronek, who averaged 13.4 yards per catch and scored 13 TDs in 45 collegiate games between Northwestern and Notre Dame.

  • Rams' Odell Beckham: Making Rams debut

    Beckham is listed as active Monday at San Francisco, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    After the Browns waived him last Monday, Beckham made his new destination known Thursday, choosing the Rams over the Packers. With L.A., he'll have a role right away due to Friday's development in the receiving corps. Robert Woods suffered a torn ACL in practice, which sets up Beckham to be a regular target for Matthew Stafford behind Cooper Kupp and alongside Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek. Beckham has only made 13 appearances the last two seasons due to injuries, combining for 40 catches (on 77 targets) for 551 yards and three touchdowns, but a turnaround could be imminent in a more pass-happy Rams offense.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Still muddling through rib pain

    Although he played in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets, Beasley (ribs) only played nine offensive snaps (two catches for 15 yards), and coach Sean McDermott noted Monday that the team was "trying to get him through that game," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    That sounds like coach speak for the team not really needing to push it with the chain-moving Beasley in a blowout win against a weak opponent. Although Beasley didn't have an injury designation coming into the game, he's missed some practice time ever since taking a shot in a win against Miami on Halloween. Beasley did catch eight balls in last week's much closer loss to the Jaguars, so it looks like the team will be simply managing his reps (especially in practices) until he's further past the injury.

  • Gary Jennings WR | LAC

    Gary Jennings: Parts ways with Las Vegas

    Jennings was cut from the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

    Jennings was added to the Raiders' practice squad last week but didn't join the active roster in Week 10. He'll now part ways with the organization after fullback Sutton Smith was signed to the practice squad Monday.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Listed as limited on practice estimate

    Harry (knee) was listed as a limited on Monday's practice estimate.

    Though Harry approached Week 10 action listed as questionable, he logged a season-high 35 snaps in Sunday's win over the Browns. With no reported setbacks in the contest, it's likely his listed limitations Wednesday reflect that his practice reps would have been managed Monday had the team practiced. At this point, there's nothing to suggest that Harry's availability for Thursday night's game against the Falcons is in danger.
