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.

Phillips (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Joe Person of The Athletic reported Monday.

Phillips has not practiced since aggravating a hamstring injury in the Panthers' Week 6 win over the Eagles. The linebacker is steadily recovering and enters Week 9 prep as a potential day-to-day practice participant. If Phillips can suit up this Sunday, he will be faced with the Broncos' dominant offensive line in his return.

Blankenship (concussion/hand) underwent surgery on his left hand in October, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The safety went through the procedure "not long after" the Texans' win over the Jaguars, per Alexander. Blankenship is also working his way through the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the same game. His status will be worth monitoring as the team prepares for a Week 9 matchup with the Chargers.

Charbonnet was "the first running back getting handoffs" during warmups before Monday's game against the Bears, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Charbonnet is set to see his first action of the season Monday night, and with him first in line during warmups it appears he will jump right into Seattle's starting lineup. While Charbonnet will likely be the first man up in the backfield, he is coming off knee surgery and will be one of four Seahawks running backs available -- Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani being the others -- so it's unclear exactly what type of workload he will handle in his season debut.

Rodriguez was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to a hand injury.

The Jaguars listed two running backs on their first Week 9 injury report, with No. 1 option Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) going down as a non-participant. There's no telling if Tuten is in danger of missing Thursday's contest at Baltimore, but Rodriguez could be in line for more early down work if he's active and the former is inhibited or sidelined. On the season, Rodriguez is averaging 6.7 touches per game.

Turner (ankle) is considered day-to-day, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported Monday.

Turner exited the fourth quarter of the Bengals' overtime win over the Titans on Sunday and did not return. The cornerback has strung together a remarkable season thus far, capped off with two forced fumbles in Sunday's game. If Turner can recover quickly, he will have a shot to suit up for the Bengals' showdown with the Falcons in Madrid, Spain, during Week 9.

Tuten was a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough due to ankle and foot injuries.

Tuten is coming off a sterling performance Sunday against the Colts in which he reeled off 159 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs on 18 touches, but he now has a pair of health concerns in tow. The Jaguars may be exercising caution with their No. 1 RB, but his status -- along with backup Chris Rodriguez (hand), who was listed as limited -- will be watched to get a sense of who may be available to the backfield Thursday at Baltimore.

Ebukam (hamstring) has been ruled out for Atlanta's Week 9 matchup versus the Bengals, William McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Ebukam got hurt during Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay and could now be in danger of missing multiple games. In his absence, Za'Darius Smith and Charles Snowden will likely see increased playing time.

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.
