NFL Player News

Godwin (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Fantasy managers will still want to check in on Godwin's status ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but this is certainly good news considering some speculated the elevation of Breshad Perriman from the practice squad indicated the fleet-footed Godwin would be unable to play Sunday. The Buccaneers are already without Antonio Brown (foot) and Rob Gronkowski (back) and didn't choose to remove Scotty Miller (toe) from injured reserve, so expect a heavy dose of Mike Evans, Tyler Johnson and Godwin in the event the latter is officially active against Washington.

Perriman will be elevated from Tampa Bay's practice squad to play against Washington on Sunday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Perriman's back on the Buccaneers team with which he spent the 2019 season, though his second stint in Tampa Bay may only last a week. He'll provide some extra depth for a receiving corps that will be depleted by injuries in Week 10 -- Antonio Brown (ankle) has been ruled out, while Chris Godwin (foot) is questionable.

Sims was elevated from Pittsburgh's practice squad Saturday.

Sims will provide some depth at wide receiver with Chase Claypool (toe) sidelined Sunday against the Lions. The 24-year-old Sims has 28 NFL appearances under his belt, all with Washington, totaling 61 catches and five touchdowns in those games.

Olszewski (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

With Olszewski sidelined, J.J. Taylor will likely take over as the return man on punts and kickoffs. Taylor could see a more prominent role in the Patriots backfield as well, as starting running back Damien Harris has also been ruled out due to a concussion.

Gallup (calf) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Gallup is now set to make his return after missing the last seven games with a left calf strain. The 25-year-old will immediately slide in as the third receiver alongside stalwarts Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, pushing Cedrick Wilson to the WR4 role.

Beckham (shoulder) has passed his physical and will play Monday against the 49ers, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports.

Beckham's role Monday may be limited since he's still familiarizing himself with the Rams' playbook, but at least he'll be able to take the field and make his Rams debut. He won't be joined by fellow wide receiver Robert Woods, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Woods tore his ACL in practice Friday and will miss the remainder of the season. As a result of Woods' injury, Beckham and Van Jefferson will both take on full-time starting roles on the outside once Beckham's up to speed, with Cooper Kupp working in his customary slot position.

Jefferson should take on a larger role in the Rams' offense moving forward, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that fellow wide receiver Robert Woods will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL in practice Friday.

Cooper Kupp will still be the go-to guy for quarterback Matthew Stafford, but there's no clear second option in Los Angeles' passing game, with Jefferson, newcomer Odell Beckham and tight end Tyler Higbee set to vie for that spot following Woods' injury. Jefferson could be especially busy in the coming weeks while Beckham's still catching up on the Rams' playbook.

Woods tore his ACL during Friday's practice and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Woods evidently tore his ACL during Friday's practice but he was able to finish it out and even did media interviews before tests revealed the seriousness of the injury. The signing of Odell Beckham, which came just prior to Woods' injury, now looks incredibly fortuitous and likely sets the stage for the newly signed Pro Bowl wideout to make his debut with the team this weekend. The team's 2020 second-round pick, Van Jefferson, likely will see a greater role as well following the shocking news, especially if Beckham takes a bit to get acclimated to the Rams' offensive system.

Hinton (shoulder) is not listed on the Broncos' injury report ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Hinton practiced in limited fashion Wednesday, but it looks like the team was just exercising caution. Barring any setbacks, look for him to assume his usual role as the team's No. 4 wideout.

St. Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with Seattle, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

St. Brown was limited at practice all week and is looking like a true game-time decision. Aside from him, the Packers' wideout group is back at full strength, so he would slot in as the No. 5 receiver should he end up getting the go-ahead.
