Rams head coach Sean McVay said Harris will require season-ending surgery to address a torn ACL and MCL in his knee, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Harris sustained the injury Sunday in the Rams' loss to the Titans while covering on a punt return in the first half. The 2021 fourth-round selection had mainly contributed on special teams outside of 15 snaps on offense between Weeks 6 and 8. Given the nature of his injuries, the 6-foot-5 tight end could struggle to gain clearance ahead of training camp in 2022.

Brown (back) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Brown was on the field for 80 of a possible 98 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Vikings, en route to catching nine of his 12 targets for 116 yards. At this point, there's been nothing to suggest that the wideout's status for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins is in any danger, but Brown probably will need to log a listed full practice by Wednesday in order to avoid a Week 10 injury designation.

Mooney (groin) is listed as active Monday at Pittsburgh.

Mooney capped Week 9 prep with back-to-back limited practices due to a groin injury, but it won't cause him to miss a regular-season game for the first time in his one-and-half seasons in the NFL. He's mostly had muted performances this season, with just one outing of more than 100 yards and just one touchdown across eight contests. Mooney will aim to up his performance against the Steelers' 14th-ranked pass defense (239.7 yards per game).

Hopkins (hamstring) is considered day-to-day after missing Sunday's 31-17 win at San Francisco, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Hopkins was inactive for only the third time in his eight-plus seasons as a pro in Week 9. He'll look to get back on the practice field this week for the first time since Week 7 prep, which would set himself up to return to action Sunday versus the Panthers. Coach Kliff Kingsbury was less certain regarding the state of quarterback Kyler Murray's ankle, who missed the first game of his career Week 9. Kingsbury relayed he doesn't "have a feel" for the QB's potential to play Sunday. If Murray doesn't gain clearance to return this weekend but Hopkins does, the wide receiver will be on the receiving end of passes from Colt McCoy.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Gallup (calf) will practice fully Wednesday and is expected to return from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Gallup was cleared to resume practicing Oct. 25, but after he had missed the preceding five games with a left calf strain, the Cowboys were inclined to ease him back in slowly. He's continued to progress gradually in his recovery from the injury in practices the past two weeks, and his advancement to full activity Wednesday should put him on track to play Week 10 for the first time since the season opener. Gallup likely will displace Cedrick Wilson as the No. 3 receiver behind Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb in a usually high-powered Dallas offense that surprisingly sputtered in a 30-16 loss to Denver this past weekend.

The Browns officially waived Beckham (shoulder) on Monday, Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

After excusing him from its first two practices of Week 9, Cleveland informed Beckham on Friday that he would be cut and then finalized a reworked contract with the wideout over the weekend to better facilitate his departure. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Beckham has $7.25 million remaining on his contract for 2021, so the league's other 31 teams will have to weigh whether he's worthy of that cost before putting in a claim. If Beckham remains unclaimed after Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, he'll become a free agent and be eligible to sign with a team at a friendlier price. Beckham nursed a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder during his final few games with the Browns, but the injury shouldn't prevent him from playing Week 10 with his new team.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one reception on one target for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Rams.

Westbrook-Ikhine saw only one target, with each of A.J. Brown, Julio Jones and Geoff Swaim carrying a more significant role as pass catchers. However, Westbrook-Ikhine did narrowly out-snap both Chester Rogers and Marcus Johnson, meaning he could step into a bigger role should either Brown or Jones be sidelined at any point moving forward.

Harris caught six of eight targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.

Harris easily seemed like the team's most explosive pass catcher not named Alvin Kamara. In fact, Harris was targeted on nearly 35 percent of his offensive snaps and ultimately led the team in targets and receptions, despite seeing significantly less playing time than both Tre'Quan Smith (80 percent) and Marquez Callaway (79 percent). While it's concerning that Harris may need a high usage rate to make his low snap counts pay off in fantasy lineups, he's now seen 15 targets over the past two weeks with Trevor Siemian under center while not seeing more than a third of the offensive snaps in either game. With Michael Thomas (ankle) lost for the year, Harris could become a fantasy factor down the stretch should anything happen to Callaway, Smith or Kenny Stills.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he expects Davis (hip) to return to action Sunday against the Bills, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Davis' hip injury has kept him sidelined for the Jets' past two games, but with a longer turnaround for the Week 10 contest following a Thursday night game in Week 9, the wideout looks as though he'll have sufficient time to recover. Saleh suggested that Davis will begin the week as a participant in practice, but the extent of his activity won't be known until the team issues its first injury report of the week Wednesday. Assuming he suits up Sunday, Davis likely will be catching passes from Mike White rather than No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson (knee), whom Saleh suggested likely will need another week to heal up before being ready for game action.

Seattle designated Eskridge (concussion) to return from injured reserve Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Following Seattle's Week 9 bye, Eskridge will join the Seahawks for practice Monday for the first time in more than a month. Assuming he doesn't incur any setbacks in his recovery from the concussion and doesn't need extended time to regain conditioning, he could be a candidate to return from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. If not, the Seahawks still would have an additional two weeks to evaluate Eskridge for a return to the 53-man roster. He's played in just one game thus far in his rookie campaign due to the head injury, recording a six-yard reception and rushing twice for 22 yards in the Seahawks' win over the Colts in Week 1.
