Beckham hauled in four of 10 targets for 60 yards in the Browns' 21-7 win over the Steelers on Thursday.

Beckham led the Browns in receiving yardage on the night with his relatively modest tally. The star wideout's catch total was actually his lowest since a disastrous loss to the 49ers in Week 5, and his yardage tally ranked as his second highest over the last four contests. Beckham continues to fall well below preseason expectations, but a combination of erratic play from quarterback Baker Mayfield and questionable offensive schemes has had a significant part to play in his struggles. Beckham will look to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the Dolphins in Week 12, a week from Sunday.

Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's contest against the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

Johnson was down on the field for several minutes after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Damarious Randall. The rookie will now enter league concussion protocol testing, so look for more updates on his status to come next week when the Steelers resume practice. In the meantime, James Washington, Johnny Holton and Tevin Jones will be the only available wideouts for Pittsburgh for the remainder of the contest.

Johnson is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Browns, Steelers Director of Communications Burt Lauten reports.

Johnson took a nasty helmet-to-helmet hit from Damarious Randall, who was ejected from the contest as a result. The rookie will have to pass concussion protocol before he can return to the field. The Steelers are already down JuJu Smith-Schuster -- who also suffered a concussion in Thursday's contest. As a result, James Washington, Johnny Holton and Tevin Jones will be the only active wide receivers remaining in the game.

Smith-Schuster won't return to Thursday's game at Cleveland after suffering a concussion, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Smith-Schuster was victim to a scary hit to the head over the middle of the field during the first half and initially remained face down on the field, but he was eventually helped off and went straight to the locker room. It's proving to be a disastrous night for the Steelers, with RB James Conner (shoulder) also leaving the game while the team faces a 14-0 first-half deficit. Smith-Schuster caught two of four targets for 21 yards before leaving the game. James Washington, Johnny Holton and Tevin Jones could see increased snaps at wide receiver as a result of the injury.

Pettis (back) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kicking off the week with back-to-back capped session leaves Pettis in some limbo for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. His listing on Friday's injury report will provide a sense of his chances to suit up Week 11.

Harris (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Two straight missed practices due to a leg injury is never a good sign for a returner. Harris will need to put in at least limited work Friday in order to be considered a better bet to play.

Dulin (neck) did not practice Thursday.

Dulin wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so his neck issue appears to be a new development. Look for Friday's final practice of the week to shed some light on the depth wideout's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jaguars.

Erickson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

After Erickson sat out Wednesday's practice with the issue, this represents an upgrade. Friday will go a long way to determining the 27-year-old's status for gameday. Stanley Morgan would likely receive more snaps if Erickson is forced to sit.

Cooper (knee/ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, Cooper was seen working out on the side at the beginning of Thursday's session, but the receiver apparently fit in enough work behind the scenes to get an upgrade on the practice report after he was listed as a non-participant Wednesday. Gehlken posits that Cooper may be limited again Friday while managing the pair of injuries, but neither issue is expected to prevent him from playing Sunday versus the Lions.

Anderson (shoulder/back) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

That he's been able to practice in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday suggests that Anderson has a solid shot to play Sunday against Washington, but he'll likely need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend with an injury designation.
