The Bengals signed Asamoah from the practice squad to the active roster Monday.

Asamoah was elevated off the practice squad for one game with Cincinnati earlier this season, when he played 19 snaps on special teams in Week 9 versus Chicago. He figures to contribute in a similar capacity for the team down the stretch, beginning Sunday on the road against Pittsburgh.

Greenard (shoulder) is believed to have avoided a serious injury after exiting Sunday's loss to the Ravens in the third quarter, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The injury is considered "minor" and may cost Greenard just one week, according to Rapoport. Greenard has had a down season in the sacks department, recording 31 tackles (19 solo), including just 2.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one forced fumble across nine appearances, all starts. Greenard has recorded 24.5 sacks across the previous two campaigns.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he expects Oliver (foot) to return to practice this week and play Sunday against the Bears on Sunday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Oliver missed the previous two games with a sprained foot but is closing in on a return to action. The veteran tight end is mainly used as a blocker by the Vikings, as he's only secured five catches for 61 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Wilson is expected to be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks due to a knee sprain sustained during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson underwent an MRI on Monday, and it's at least encouraging that his knee injury won't require surgery or a long-term stint on the sideline. That said, Wilson had missed the Jets' prior two games before briefly returning to action Week 10, and he now looks set to sit out until Week 14 against the Dolphins at the earliest. Assuming Wilson is indeed officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Patriots, whomever of Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor is named the starting quarterback will have to rely on receivers Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, John Metchie, Allen Lazard, tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall as his top pass catchers.

TeSlaa caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Washington.

TeSlaa was expected to be more involved on offense in Week 10, and he did play 19 offensive snaps, which was 16 higher than Week 9 and his highest amount since Week 6. Although he did see more action, the wide receiver was still unable to record the first multi-catch performance of his career. TeSlaa will look to get more involved moving forward, starting Week 11 against the Eagles.

Coach Sean McVay announced Monday that Mevis will once again handle kicking duties for the Rams next Sunday against the Seahawks, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Mevis was elevated from the practice squad over the weekend and got the nod over struggling Joshua Karty against San Francisco, and Mevis responded by making all six of his extra-point tries. Karty remains on the 53-man roster, but Mevis can continue to be elevated from the practice squad the next few weeks while the Rams figure out their kicking situation down the stretch ahead of a possible postseason run. Kicking in the Los Angeles offense makes Mevis a desirable fantasy target at the position.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that McLaurin will not play in next Sunday's game against the Dolphins, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

It's another early-week rule out for McLaurin, who doesn't seem to be particularly close to a return in what has turned into a lost season for the Commanders. This could also go down as a lost season for McLaurin, who has appeared in just four games, though he's left a pair of those early with quadriceps issues. Deebo Samuel and Treylon Burks (finger) paced the Washington wide receivers in playing time Week 10 against the Lions, followed by Robbie Chosen, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore in that order. McLaurin will have the Week 12 bye to try and get ready for a Week 13 date with the Broncos.

Gadsen is considered day-to-day after an MRI on Monday revealed the nature of his injury to be a bruised quadriceps, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gadsden was forced out of Los Angeles' win over the Steelers on Sunday night early due to what was initially called a left knee injury, so the results of his MRI are ultimately encouraging. The rookie tight end's status will need to be monitored as the Chargers prepare for a road contest against the Jaguars in Week 11, but it at least appears he's avoided any sort of severe injury that could require a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly will operate as Los Angeles' top pass-catching tight ends if Gadsden misses any time.

Farrell had two receptions on as many targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Farrell got back in the scoring column after recording the first touchdown of his career against the Saints in Week 2. The blocking tight end had just five receptions for 48 yards in the seven games in between his trips to the end zone. Farrell's minimal role on offense keeps him out of the fantasy conversation in standard formats.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Bateman sustained an ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Vikings, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Bateman's injury forced him to don a walking boot after Sunday's win, but Harbaugh said he expects the veteran wideout "to be OK." Harbaugh declined to specify whether Bateman is expected to miss any time, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, so his practice activity this week will be telling. In the event that Bateman isn't able to suit up on the road against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 16, wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace, as well as No. 2 tight end Isaiah Likely, could benefit from increased target opportunities.
