Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Titans' Tyler Lockett: No catches on four targets
Lockett recorded no receptions on four targets on Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.
There were some positives to take away from the performance, as Lockett logged a season-high 74 percent of offensive snaps and drew four targets for the second consecutive game. However, he was unable to connect with Cam Ward, who has struggled in his first four starts as a pro. Like nearly every Titans' pass catcher, Lockett is an unreliable fantasy option.

Tim Jones WR | JAC
Tim Jones: Cut from Vikings' practice squad
The Vikings cut Jones from the practice squad Tuesday.
Jones was signed to the Vikings' practice squad this past Wednesday after being released from the active roster one day prior. He will now have the opportunity to sign with another team in need of depth at wide receiver, though he could opt to stick around in Minnesota if a reunion is desired between the two sides. Jones' removal makes room on the Vikings' practice squad for offensive tackle Matt Waletzko, who reached an injury settlement with the Cowboys in early August after sustaining an ankle injury during training camp.

Ronnie Bell: Cut from practice squad
The Lions cut Bell from the practice squad Tuesday.
The move makes room on the Lions' practice squad for linebacker Ty Summers. Bell joined Detroit's practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the 49ers, when he logged two catches (on six targets) for 22 yards while adding 23 yards on kick returns.

Dalevon Campbell WR | LAC
Dalevon Campbell: Let go by Carolina
The Panthers waived/injured Campbell (hamstring) on Tuesday, Darrin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Campbell suffered a hamstring injury during the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Campbell will be placed on waivers, but if he's not claimed by another team he'll revert to the Panthers' injured reserve list, which would require him to miss at least the next four games.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Eyeing 2026 return
Hill isn't expected to require any follow-up procedures after undergoing successful surgery Tuesday to repair a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus indicated that the receiver's surgery "went very well according to his doctors," and a return to game action at the start of the 2026 season is considered a "realistic goal." Though the 31-year-old will face the tough challenge of working his way back from a major knee injury that included an ACL repair, the fact that he seemingly avoided any nerve damage and won't need multiple surgeries bodes well for his long-term outlook. That being said, his availability for the start of next season is far from guaranteed, and Hill may well have played his last snap as a Dolphin. He remains under contract for 2026 at a base salary of $29.9 million, but none of that money is currently guaranteed, and Miami could cut him at no cost up until the third day of the new league year in March.

Malachi Corley WR | CLE
Browns' Malachi Corley: Added to Cleveland's active roster
The Browns signed Corley from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.
Corley and Gage Larvadain were both signed to the active roster to give the Browns much-needed depth at wide receiver after Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) were both placed on injured reserve. Corley joined the Browns' practice squad in late August after failing to make the Jets' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2024 third-rounder logged just three catches (on six targets) for 16 yards along with two carries for 26 yards across nine regular-season games during his rookie campaign as a member of the Jets.

Robbie Chosen WR | WAS
Robbie Chosen: Signed to Washington's PS
The Commanders signed Chosen to the practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Chosen started the season on the 49ers' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was cut by the 49ers in early September, but the veteran wideout will get another opportunity with the Commanders, who are dealing with injuries to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin). Chosen appeared in two regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024 and finished with one catch on four targets for five yards.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: No activity at Tuesday's practice
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Jennings (ankle/ribs) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Jennings previously sat out the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals due to an ankle issue, and that injury plus a new rib concern is clouding his availability for Thursday's game against the Rams. After being gauged as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jennings will be a spectator Tuesday in the 49ers' lone on-field session this week. The 49ers will decide Wednesday whether Jennings takes a designation into the Week 5 contest, or if he'll be ruled out in advance of the game. The San Francisco pass-catching corps could once again be shorthanded with Jennings, Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jordan Watkins (calf) all sitting out Tuesday's practice, while tight end George Kittle (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) aren't on track to return from IR until at least Week 6.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Spectator for practice Tuesday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Pearsall (knee) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The second-year wideout is one of three 49ers receivers who won't practice Tuesday, with Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) and Jordan Watkins (calf) also scheduled to sit out. Pearsall's absence comes after general manager John Lynch suggested that he's being viewed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams. The 49ers will wait and see how Pearsall is feeling Wednesday before determining whether he'll take a designation into Thursday's contest, or if he'll end up being ruled out a day in advance. Pearsall was limited to season lows in receiving yards (46) and snaps (37) in this past Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars after exiting the game with what Shanahan described as a minor PCL injury.

Arian Smith WR | NYJ
Jets' Arian Smith: Held catchless Week 4
Smith was not targeted during the Jets' 27-21 loss to the Dolphins on Monday.
Smith saw his offensive snap count dip to 29 in large part due to the return of Josh Reynolds, who played 42 snaps on offense. Monday marked the second time in four games that Smith did not register a catch, and the rookie fourth-rounder is firmly behind Lazard and Garrett Wilson on the Jets' wideout depth chart.
