Dortch reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.

Dortch was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster for Week 9 as Arizona was without DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) and A.J. Green (reserve/COVID-19). The receiver played four offensive snaps and nine special teams snaps in the Cardinals' win over the 49ers. Dortch will likely stay on the Cardinals' practice squad barring any injuries to Arizona's starting receivers.

Montgomery (hamstring) was a limited participant in the Saints' practice Wednesday.

Montgomery suffered a hamstring injury ahead of the Saints' Week 9 contest and was unable to suit up against the Falcons. It's possible Kenny Stills sees an increased role once again in Week 10 if Montgomery is unable to play against the Titans.

The Saints activated Humphrey off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Humphrey was placed onto the Saints reserve/COVID-19 list before Week 8. The receiver tested positive for the virus and was forced to miss Week 8 and 9 for New Orleans. Expect Humphrey's return to the field to have a minimal impact on the Saints' offense.

Hinton (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity for the Broncos on Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

While it's uncertain when the receiver injured his shoulder, Hinton's injury isn't considered to be serious. If Hinton is unable to play against the Eagles in Week 10, expect Tyrie Cleveland to fill in as Teddy Bridgewater's fourth receiving option.

Beckham is considering contract offers from up to eight teams as of Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Dianna Russini of ESPN, the leaders for Beckham's services appear to be the Chiefs, Packers and Saints, but teams like the Seahawks and Patriots also have been mentioned as suitors after the Browns cut him loose earlier this week. He likely is seeking a destination with a combination of top quarterback play, reasonable compensation and a chance to compete for a Super Bowl. Beckham will be subject to a physical before he puts pen to paper on a new contract, as he's been tending to a right shoulder injury since Week 3. In six appearances this season, he's averaged 13.6 yards per catch on his 17 receptions (34 targets) but has yet to reach the end zone.

Allen didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Miller speculates that Allen was held out mostly as a precaution, a notion that would be supported by a return to the practice field on the wideout's part -- in any capacity -- come Thursday. In the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Eagles, Allen was on the field for 62 of a possible 69 snaps and caught 12 of his 13 targets for 104 yards. Overall, he's averaging 75 receiving yards on 10.3 targets per game.

Harry (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Harry was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Panthers after being added to the Patriots' Week 9 injury report Friday. His ability to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday is a good sign, but Harry's status for this weekend's game against the Browns has yet to be solidified. When healthy, he's been working as the Patriots' No. 4 wideout behind Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne.

Eskridge (concussion) took part in Wednesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Prior to the session, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll noted Eskridge was "ready to go full speed" as the rookie closes in on his first game action since suffering a concussion Week 1. In the meantime, Eskridge paid a visit to a concussion specialist in Florida twice, and the Seahawks designated him to return Monday. According to Carroll, Eskridge fared well in his return to practice earlier this week, which allowed him to participate Wednesday, too. Because he's on IR, there's no telling where Eskridge stands in the protocol for head injuries, but he's poised to be activated once he gains clearance from an independent neurologist.

Renfrow was limited at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Renfrow is tending the ankle issue after he played 45 of a possible 69 snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Giants, finishing the day with seven catches on nine targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. So far there's nothing to suggest that the Raiders' slot man is in danger of missing this weekend's game against Kansas City, but he'll presumably need to log a full practice by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation.

The MRI that Claypool underwent Tuesday didn't reveal any major concerns with his toe, suggesting the wideout has avoided a season-ending injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

That said, Rapoport relays that Claypool, who didn't practice Wednesday, is considered day-to-day and may miss some time. If that's the case, James Washington and Ray-Ray McCloud would be in line to see added reps behind top wideout Diontae Johnson for any length of time Claypool might be sidelined.
