The 49ers claimed Wallow off waivers Monday.

Wallow was waived by the Broncos on Saturday after playing seven games with the team. He missed some time time earlier this season due to a hamstring injury but appears to be past the issue after suiting up in each of Denver's past two games prior to being cut. Wallow played primarily on special teams while with the Broncos and could be used in a similar role with San Francisco.

Molden (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Molden went to the locker room before halftime, and he is having his hamstring evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Monday's game. The Chargers will likely move Derwin James to safety and deploy Tarheeb Still in the slot corner position for as long as Molden is out of the game.

Winfield tallied five tackles (four solo) and a pass defense during the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Winfield was one of four Bucs defenders to play every single defensive snap Sunday, and he finished in a three-way tie for the second-most tackles on the team behind Christian Izien (eight). Winfield has logged at least five tackles in four straight games, and for the year he has accumulated 68 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass defenses (two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.

The 49ers placed Bartch (foot) on injured reserve Monday.

Bartch sprained his foot against Cleveland in Week 13 and will now be required to miss the remainder of the regular season. He'll be eligible to return to action if San Francisco makes the playoffs, but in the meantime Spencer Burford is slated to take over as the starter at left guard.

The Lions signed O'Connor (knee) to the practice squad Monday.

O'Conner appears to have fully recovered from a knee injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve Nov. 14. The veteran defensive lineman and the Lions reached an injury settlement one day later, and he appears to have recovered enough to return to Detroit as a member of the team's practice squad.

Dickerson is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chargers due to a calf injury.

Dickerson appeared to sustain the injury in the second quarter of Monday's game. Brett Toth will remain at left guard for as long as Dickerson is out of the game.

Morrison (hamstring) was estimated as a full participant in Monday's practice walkthrough, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Morrison has been dealing with a hamstring issue throughout the campaign and has missed each of Tampa Bay's past three games. While it's certainly promising that the rookie cornerback was deemed a full participant Monday, it's also worth noting that he logged three full practices last week and still didn't suit up Sunday against New Orleans. It remains to be seen if Morrison will be able to return to action against Atlanta on Thursday.

Wirfs (oblique) was considered a limited participant at the team's walkthrough Monday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official website reports.

Wirfs was unavailable for the team's Week 14 loss to the Saints due to an oblique injury that he suffered the week prior against Arizona. The offensive lineman will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Thursday night's contest against the Falcons.

The NFL suspended Cleveland for three games Monday due to violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy.

Cleveland has served mostly as a blocker on special teams this season, though his absence means Baltimore's depth on the offensive line will be depleted for the next three games. He's eligible to return Week 18 against the Steelers on Jan. 4.

Morris suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Morris drew the start at left tackle in Week 14, but he was forced to exit the game after just one play due to a knee injury. Esa Pole replaced him in the contest, and if Jawaan Taylor (elbow) remains sidelined moving forward, Pole could remain in the starting lineup.
