Jeudy did not catch his lone target Sunday in Cleveland's 27-6 loss to Pittsburgh.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson had a relatively productive day with 324 passing yards (albeit without a score), but Jeudy received only one of his targets. The veteran wideout logged his usual amount of paying time, notching a 60 percent offensive snap share to finish third among Cleveland wide receivers. It was the third time this season Jeudy has finished without a catch, but the other two instances were in Weeks 3 and 4, and he had been more involved of late, averaging 3.5 catches and 36.3 receiving yards over his previous four games. With that in mind, he could get back on track in Week 9 against a New Orleans defense that has been middle-of-the-pack against wideouts this year.

The 49ers signed Hodge to the practice squad Monday.

The 49ers waived Hodge with an injury settlement Oct. 1 after the wide receiver suffered a knee injury during Week 3. Hodge now returns as a healthy addition to a 49ers team dealing with injuries to key wide receivers such as Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (hamstring), Demarcus Robinson (ankle) and De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle).

Meyers was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report due to hamstring and ankle issues.

Meyers was capped at Monday's walkthrough as a result of the health concerns that impacted him in practice last week, but he still suited up Sunday versus the Colts, handling a 54 percent snap share and gathering in two of three targets for 24 yards. Considering he was able to play through them in Week 8, he's likely trending toward being available Thursday in Baltimore, but his status nonetheless will be watched to ensure as much.

Tucker did not catch his only target Sunday in the Raiders' 38-33 Week 8 win over the Jets.

Despite quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing for 247 yards, Tucker had only one ball thrown his way. In fact, only one Raiders wideout -- Jalen Nailor -- had a reception, as Cousins targeted tight ends on 16 of his 26 passes. Tucker had caught either four or five passes in each of his prior six games and had collected at least 97 receiving yards in three of those contests, though he finished below 45 yards in the other three. It's notable that he logged a season-low 52 percent offensive snap share against the Jets, but he should be in for better days ahead, beginning with a Week 9 matchup in San Francisco.

Whittington did not catch his sole target and logged one tackle on kick coverage during the Rams' 24-9 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Whittington played just four offensive snaps while logging 18 special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver was able to overcome a back injury to play in the game, but the No. 4 option was overshadowed by the Rams' 13-personnel packages favoring tight ends.

Meyers logged two catches for 24 yards on three targets in Sunday's 42-7 win against Indianapolis.

He put up a subpar fantasy line, but Meyers actually led Jacksonville in targets and tied for the team lead in receptions on a day when quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw only 14 passes, 10 of which he completed. Meyers also logged a 54 percent offensive snap share -- second among Jaguars wideouts behind Parker Washington -- after dealing with a hamstring injury during the week. He's still looking to build some momentum, as Meyers has three or fewer catches in five of his seven contests and has topped 40 receiving yards just twice.

The Seahawks elevated Foster from their practice squad Monday ahead of the team's matchup versus the Bears, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Foster is set to be elevated for the first time since joining Seattle's practice squad after having been waived from the active roster. With Rashid Shaheed not playing against Chicago due to a knee injury, Foster can provide extra depth at receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton.

Bourne suffered a fractured right tibia during Sunday's overtime win at Dallas that won't require surgery but will sideline him for three months, ending his 2026 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

What was initially believed to be a right high-ankle sprain for Bourne has since been revealed to be much more serious after additional testing. He thus will finish with 26 catches (on 38 targets) for 263 yards and no touchdowns in eight regular-season appearances. With Marvin Harrison getting shipped to Houston on Oct. 11, Michael Wilson dealing with broken ribs and Jalen Brooks (wrist) out for the season, Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko and Devin Duvernay are the only healthy wide receivers on Arizona's active roster.

Bourne (ankle) is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Jonathan Jones of The Athletic reports.

Darren Urban of Cardschatter previously reported that Coach Mike LaFleur noted Monday that the ankle injury Bourne suffered Sunday against the Cowboys could be season-ending, and Jones' report further advances the notion that the wideout is slated to miss extended time. With Michael Wilson dealing with a rib issue, look for the Cardinals to add depth in short order to a WR corps that also includes Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko and Devin Duvernay.

Stribling (ankle) was spotted Monday walking without crutches or a brace on his lower leg, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Stribling, who had garnered his share of preseason fantasy buzz, was injured in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Rams, but it appears as though the wideout is making solid progress in his recovery. A firm timetable for the 2026 second-rounder's return to practice hasn't been outlined yet, but David Lombardi of SFStandard.com previously noted that Stribling (ankle) remains on track to return in at some point in December, a notion supported by Barrows' Monday report.
