Kalel Mullings RB | TEN
Kalel Mullings: Lands back on practice squad
The Titans reverted Mullings to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Mullings made his first gameday appearance of the season Sunday versus Houston and logged a three-yard rush on his lone offensive snap. He also contributed with 15 snaps on special teams. Tennessee has five healthy running backs on its active roster, so Mullings doesn't figure to see much action on offense even if he gets another elevation Week 6.

Jack Stoll TE | SF
Jack Stoll: Returns to practice squad
Stoll reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Stoll was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over Seattle and logged 14 special-teams snaps. He didn't get a chance to contribute on offense, however, as starting tight end George Kittle ended up logging a season-high 93 percent snap share despite dealing with an illness. The 49ers also have Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis as depth options as tight end, but Stoll could be elevated again to serve in a fullback role if Kyle Juszczyk (knee) misses another game next Monday versus Washington.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Career-best numbers in OT loss
Nacua brought in 17 of 24 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for nine yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Nacua's jaw-dropping stat line included new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. The prolific receiver monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills' defense is it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The third-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season on a picturesque two-yard over-the-shoulder catch early in the fourth quarter, and with his production Monday, he nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the campaign. Nacua will take a 31-337-1 line on 45 targets into a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Brandon Smith WR | PIT
Brandon Smith: Back on practice squad
Smith reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smith was called upon for Sunday's Week 5 win over the Colts and logged 16 of 60 offensive snaps. He made one catch for six yards, but that reception was negated due to a holding penalty, so Smith statistically ended up without a target. Wideouts Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) were both injured Sunday and have already been ruled out for Week 6, so Smith figures to have a good chance of being elevated again for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.
-
Lew Nichols RB | PIT
Lew Nichols: Reverts to practice squad
The Steelers reverted Nichols to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Nichols was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over Indianapolis and played eight of 60 offensive snaps, taking one carry for six yards. He also chipped in with 11 snaps on special teams. Nichols' elevation came as a result of Rico Dowdle missing the contest due to a toe injury. Dowdle is expected to be back Week 6, so Nichols may not be elevated again Sunday versus Tampa Bay.
-
Zach Ertz TE | PHI
Eagles' Zach Ertz: Moves back to practice squad
Ertz reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Ertz has been elevated and then returned to the practice squad each of the three weeks since signing with Philadelphia on Sept. 22. In Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, he logged a season-low six offensive snaps and didn't catch either of his two targets. Ertz is out of practice squad elevations, so Philadelphia will need to sign him to the active roster in order for the veteran tight end to continue to play for the team on game days.
-
Dalen Cambre WR | NYG
Dalen Cambre: Heads back to practice squad
The Giants reverted Cambre to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Cambre got his first chance on the gameday roster in Sunday's tie against Washington and played two snaps on offense along with 11 snaps on special teams. His lone stat was a tackle on kick coverage. With Odell Beckham having been released in late September, Cambre could get more elevations moving forward, though he's unlikely to have more than a minor role on offense barring injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.
-
Cedric Tillman WR | NO
Cedric Tillman: Lands back on practice squad
Tillman reverted to New Orleans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Tillman was elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's loss to Minnesota and logged one offensive snap without recording any other stats. He could get another chance on game day in Week 6 against the Giants since rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) isn't expected to be ready to come off injured reserve.
-
Jeshaun Jones WR | MIN
Jeshaun Jones: Goes back to practice squad
Jones reverted to Minnesota's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Jones was elevated ahead of Sunday's Week 5 win over New Orleans and caught his only target for 32 yards on six offensive snaps. He also logged 11 snaps on special teams and recovered a fumble on kick coverage. Jones' opportunity was partly a result of Jordan Addison (hamstring) being inactive and Odell Beckham being a healthy scratch, so there's no guarantee that Jones will be elevated again Week 7 versus Indianapolis following Minnesota's Week 6 bye.
-
Odell Beckham Jr. WR | MIN
Odell Beckham: Reverts to practice squad
The Vikings reverted Beckham to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Beckham signed to Minnesota's practice squad Wednesday and was elevated ahead of Sunday, but he ended up being a healthy scratch even though Jordan Addison (hamstring) didn't suit up. It remains to be seen how much of a role Beckham will have with the Vikings; he may need some time to familiarize himself with the playbook before being active on game day, and even then he probably won't be more than a depth option at wideout.
