Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Jackson is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Jackson played just 25 total snaps (15 on defense, 10 on special teams) before exiting Sunday's win, recording two total tackles. The 27-year-old's practice participation throughout the week should provide the clearest indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Ravens, though he'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up.

Watkins hauled in his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.

Watkins nabbed another reception in his second appearance of the season after injuries delayed the start of his professional career. The fourth-round rookie logged just eight snaps on offense (12 percent), a role too small for anyone to generate reliable fantasy value in. Head coach Kyle Shanahan historically has not trusted rookie receivers in larger roles, so Watkins' snap count should remained capped against the Rams next Sunday.

The Cowboys signed Davis off their practice squad prior to Monday's game versus the Cardinals.

Davis was eligible to elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad one more time, but Dallas instead elected to make him a permanent member of the 53-man roster ahead of Monday's contest. He'll provide depth at running back behind Javonte Williams and Jaydon Blue but is likely to provide most of his contributions on the Cowboys' special-teams units.

Adams is expected to start at free safety due to Andre Cisco (pectoral) being sidelined for the rest of the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Adams opened the season as a starter alongside Cisco in the Jets' secondary before rookie Malachi Moore replaced him at strong safety in the Week 6 loss to the Broncos. With Cisco set to miss the remainder of the the season, Adams appears positioned to assume a starting role once again. The Illinois product has plenty of experience, having made 30 starts for the Jets over the past three seasons. Expect Adams to take over at free safety in the Week 10 matchup against the Browns.

Moore had one reception for 21 yards while returning five combined kicks for 85 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.

Moore played a role in the field position game for the 49ers after running back five of his six return opportunities Sunday. The return specialist set a new personal high with a 21-yard reception in the win, but it was also just his third catch (on five targets) in eight appearances this season. Moore's minimal involvement on offense keeps him out of the fantasy picture in standard formats for next Sunday's tilt versus the Rams.

Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Monday that Cisco (pectoral) will miss the remainder of the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The Syracuse product will undergo surgery after sustaining a torn pectoral in the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals, so it's no surprise that he'll miss the rest of the year. Cisco played 499 defensive snaps over New York's first eight games this season, recording 41 total tackles and one pass defended. Tony Adams is likely to step in and start at free safety while Cisco is sidelined.

Washington secured four of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

Washington totaled just two receiving yards over his previous two appearances, but he led the Steelers' tight ends in playing time and receiving yards during Sunday's Week 9 win. While his performance against the Colts was encouraging, Washington hasn't been a particularly consistent contributor this year as he's split playing time with Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth. Over eight appearances to begin the regular season, Washington has secured 13 of 20 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Jones' right shoulder is "sore" following Sunday's 27-24 win over Detroit, but the Vikings received "positive news early on" and will see if the running back can increase his activity level as the week goes on, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jones thus seems to have a chance to play this coming Sunday against the Ravens after suffering what he described as an AC joint sprain Week 9, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Jones was running well before exiting in the third quarter, racking up 98 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches, while fellow RB Jordan Mason accounted for 11 touches for 37 total yards. Wednesday's injury report may provide a baseline for Jones as he seeks to miss no additional time.

Robinson finished with no receptions (on one target) in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.

Robinson was on the field for 33 percent of the offense's snaps Sunday, finishing third behind starters Jauan Jennings (79 percent) and Kendrick Bourne (73 percent). The 30-year-old Robinson failed to capitalize on a prime opportunity to fill in as the 49ers' slot receiver in a cushy matchup. Instead, he was held without a catch for the second time in the last three weeks. With just eight receptions in six active games, it's safe to say that Robinson has been a poor fit in San Francisco. The 49ers will host Robinson's former club, the Rams, on Sunday, but the veteran's lack of involvement dampens any excitement over a potential "revenge game" Week 10.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Sanders is still dealing with a back injury but is getting better, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

The rookie quarterback was inactive for the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots due to a back issue, and it now appears he's still dealing with the injury coming out of the Week 9 bye. Sanders' practice participation throughout the week will likely offer the best indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If active, the Colorado product is expected to serve as the primary backup to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
