Eskridge (concussion) was a non-participant at Tuesday's practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Eskridge was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, and he was downgraded for Tuesday's session. The 24-year-old suffered a concussion in the season opener and has yet to fully clear the league's protocols, leaving his availability for Thursday's matchup with the Rams firmly up in the air.

Hart (knee) returned to practice in full Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Hart was held out of practice Monday after suffering an apparent injury in Sunday's win over San Francisco. However, he returned to full participation in practice and should be ready to serve a depth role among the team's receiver corps in a matchup Thursday against the Rams.

Metcalf (foot) was a limited practice participant Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Metcalf managed a foot injury last week too, when his reps were capped in the final two sessions. Still, he entered the weekend without a designation and logged a typical allotment of snaps (81 percent on offense) on his way to catching four of eight passes for 65 yards and one touchdown this past Sunday at San Francisco. Metcalf will look to do the same in advance of Thursday's game versus the Rams.

Bateman (groin) may make his pro debut Monday against the Colts, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "I think both those guys have a chance of playing this week," coach John Harbaugh said Monday of Bateman and Miles Boykin (hamstring).

Both recent Ravens draftees have yet to play this season, but of the two Bateman's return is the most anticipated for obvious reasons. The first-round rookie has been sidelined since injuring his groin Aug. 10, which forced him to have surgery that was accompanied by a 6-to-8-week recovery timetable. Bateman was placed on injured reserve after roster cuts before the team designated him to return last Wednesday, but ultimately he wasn't able to get enough practice reps last week to be cleared to play this past Sunday in Denver. Assuming he makes the requisite progress this week, he'll be activated ahead of Monday's game.

The Bears waived Webster on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Webster appeared in all four games for the Bears this season in an exclusively special-teams role. The 25-year-old return man became expendable when Chicago acquired Jakeem Grant via trade with the Dolphins.

Pringle reeled in both of his targets for 23 yards Sunday against the Bills.

Pringle still played just 25 percent of the snaps on offense in Week 4 and figures to see his count continue to fall with the news that Josh Gordon has been promoted to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Pringle is still a contributor on special teams as a kick returner but seems to be creeping further away from the fantasy radar.

The Texans signed Davis off the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Davis led the Browns with 154 receiving yards during the preseason, but he was never able to crack the active roster. Nico Collins (shoulder) is already on IR, and Danny Amendola is dealing with a thigh injury that kept him out of Week 3, so Davis has a chance for an extended stay in Houston.

Robinson wasn't targeted during Sunday's game against the Bills.

Robinson owned just six receptions to his name on eight targets through the first three weeks but couldn't even hit that bar Sunday. He still played 67 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, primarily due to his skills as a run blocker, but Robinson is far from a fantasy threat at this point. With Josh Gordon set to be active this week, it's possible Robinson's snap count will wane a bit more.

Hardman reeled in two of his three targets for six yards and rushed twice for another 25 yards Sunday versus the Eagles.

Hardman saw a season-low offensive snap percentage (54 percent) on the day that matched his season-low target count to go with it. Part of that may be due to the fact that the Chiefs held a comfortable second-half lead that allowed them to run the ball a bit more than in the past, but it still doesn't bode particularly well for future contests, especially with Josh Gordon joining the mix this week.

Guyton caught one of his two targets for nine yards and also registered two carries for 20 yards in the 28-14 win over the Raiders on Monday.

Guyton once again saw a healthy 42 offensive snaps, whereas No. 4 wideout, Josh Palmer, saw a paltry seven total, but the speedy option once again did little with the playing time. After seeing five targets in Week 1, Guyton has more carries (four) than catches (three) over the last three weeks, essentially reverting back to his 2020 days as an offensive decoy.
