Erik Ezukanma WR | PHI
Erik Ezukanma: Reverts to practice squad
Ezukanma reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Ezukanma was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's win over the 49ers, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense. If Jaylen Waddle (knee) is unavailable again in Week 17 versus the Browns, Ezukanma will likely be added to the active roster again.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Exits with knee injury on MNF
Watson is questionable to return to Monday's game against New Orleans due to a knee injury.
Watson was hurt when he was fallen on at the end of a 14-yard rush in the second quarter. The wideout returned to the game following that play but was later seen on the sideline getting looked at by the Packers' medical staff. Green Bay was up 24-0 at the time Watson was deemed questionable to return, and it's possible that the big lead contributed to that designation. Prior to his exit, Watson didn't catch his only target and recorded 23 yards on two carries.

Jared Wayne WR | HOU
Jared Wayne: Reverts to practice squad
Wayne reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.
Wayne was elevated from the Texans' practice squad for the second time this season and played eight offensive snaps in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs. However, with Tank Dell out for the rest of 2024 due to a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap, Wayne could be elevated to the active roster for the Texans' Week 17 clash against the Ravens on Wednesday.

James Proche WR | TEN
James Proche: Reverts to practice squad again
Proche reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Proche played five snaps on special teams in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals, logging two punt returns for 30 yards and two fair catches. Given that Proche has now hit the three-game maximum for elevations to the active roster, the Browns will have to sign him to the 53-man roster for him to suit up in either or both of the last two regular-season games. The 28-year-old wide receiver and return specialist has recorded three catches for 21 yards and amassed 163 punt-return yards this season in Cleveland.

Dylan Drummond WR | ATL
Dylan Drummond: Reverts to practice squad
Drummond reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
The second-year wide receiver was inactive for Sunday's blowout win over the Giants since wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) was cleared to play ahead of the matchup. Drummond's elevation status should now be contingent on the health of Atlanta's receiving corps heading into a matchup against the Commanders in Week 17.

Jalen Virgil WR | BUF
Jalen Virgil: Returns to practice squad
Virgil reverted to Buffalo's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Virgil played 15 snaps on special teams during the Bills' 24-21 win over the Patriots and managed to register a tackle while on punt coverage. Virgil has spent two separate stints on the Bills' practice squad this season, but he has reached the three-game maximum for being elevated to the active roster. Thus, the Bills would have to sign Virgil to the 53-man roster in order for him to keep playing in Buffalo.

Anthony Miller WR | BAL
Anthony Miller: Reverts to practice squad
Miller reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday.
Miller played just one offensive snap in the Ravens' 34-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday and did not show up in the box score. However, with injuries to Zay Flowers (shoulder) and Nelson Agholor (concussion), Miller could be elevated to Baltimore's active roster for Wednesday's game against Houston.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Zero catches again
Dotson finished with zero catches for the second straight week Sunday against the Commanders.
Dotson's two chances at a revenge game this season have led to a combined one catch for eight yards. To be fair to Dotson, the Eagles leaned heavily on the run Sunday after Jalen Hurts exited early with a concussion, completing a total of just 15 passes. All but one of those went to A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Titans' Tyler Boyd: Only 20 yards
Boyd recorded two receptions (on three targets) for 20 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Colts.
Boyd was on the field for around half of the offensive snaps and got off to a hot start by recording both of his receptions on Tennessee's first two possessions. However, he didn't record a catch for the rest of the game and now has been held below 40 receiving yards in four straight games.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine WR | IND
Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Catches TD in late comeback attempt
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Colts.
Westbrook-Ikhine was briefly on the injury report during the week with an ankle issue but was on the field for 91 percent of offensive snaps. He still saw only four targets and has nine opportunities combined across his last three games. Westbrook-Ikhine did find the end zone from six yards away midway through the fourth quarter with the Titans in the midst of a comeback.
