Hill has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Jets due to a knee injury.

This comes as no surprise after Hill was carted off the field early in the third quarter with what appeared to be a very serious leg injury. He is being taken to a hospital for further evaluation, and an official diagnosis should follow.

Hill was carted off the field in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Jets with a left leg injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill made a 12-yard catch early in the third quarter and had his leg twisted on the tackle. The injury looks to be serious, and he was carted off the field surrounded by his teammates as well as many Jets players.

Trammell reverted to Jacksonville's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Trammell was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup against San Francisco but didn't get into the game. His opportunity came as a result of Dyami Brown (shoulder) missing the contest. If Brown is sidelined again in Week 5, Trammell could get another gameday opportunity, but he doesn't seem likely to play a major role.

Moreno-Cropper reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Moreno-Cropper was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Green Bay and logged one offensive snap, along with four snaps on special teams, without recording any output in that contest. CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and Jonathan Mingo (knee) were both inactive for that game, and Moreno-Cropper could get another look in Week 5 versus the Jets if both injured wideouts remain sidelined.

Meeks reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Meeks was elevated to the Lions' active roster to provide depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Browns. He ended up playing 13 snaps (four on offense, nine on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. Meeks is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad twice more this season.

Mims (hip) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Bengals, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Mims, who didn't appear on the Broncos' Week 4 injury report Thursday or Friday, was deemed questionable for the contest after being listed as limited in Saturday's practice. With his availability versus Cincinnati confirmed, Mims -- who's been a key returner for Denver -- will bolster a wide receiver corps that's been paced of late by Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. Through his team's first three games, the 2023 second-rounder's fantasy impact has been modest, with Mims having logged six catches (on 10 targets) for 40 yards and a TD in that span.

Burton (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Broncos.

Burton has yet to be active for a game this season. Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones will handle the Bengals' WR duties versus Denver.

Pearsall (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pearsall dealt with a knee injury last week and was able to suit up in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, but while attempting to tap his feet in bounds down the left sideline in the third quarter, he was gimpy afterward and logged just one more snap the rest of the way. He told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com afterward that he felt some discomfort and instability in his right knee, and coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that the 49ers believe the second-year wide receiver has just a "minor PCL" injury, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Position mate Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) also was listed as a non-participant Monday, so the pair will be monitored in the coming days to get a sense of their chances to suit up Thursday against the Rams.

Jennings (ankle/ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jennings continues to deal with the ankle issue that kept him out in Week 3, but he's also tending to a rib injury stemming from a big hit he took in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He finished the contest with a 73 percent snap share and two catches on four targets for 24 yards. Coach Kyle Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic earlier Monday that the statuses of Jennings and fellow WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) are up in the air, so the 49ers' receiving corps could be in rough shape for Thursday's game at the Rams.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Susanna Weir of the Jets' official site reports.

With Johnson the odd man out Monday, Josh Reynolds -- in his return from a two-game absence -- Arian Smith, Allen Lazard and Isaiah Williams are available to handle WR snaps and targets that don't go to clear-cut top option Garrett Wilson. In three games this season, Johnson has recorded a 4-63-0 line on six targets.
