Saints' Equanimeous St. Brown: Elevated from practice squad
Rotowire
St. Brown is being elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The saints are a mess on offense, with QB Derek Carr (oblique), TE Taysom Hill (ribs) and WRs Chris Olave (head) and Rashid Shaheed (IR - knee) all expected to miss Thursday's game. St. Brown could get a decent number of snaps Thursday night, but he never drew targets at a high rate when he got significant playing time for the Packers (2018-21) and Bears (2022-23). He has 110 career targets on 1,614 snaps and has never recorded more than 328 receiving yards in a season.

Rotowire
St. Brown signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday.

Equanimeous St. Brown: Doesn't make Saints' 53-man roster
Rotowire
The Saints released St. Brown on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
St. Brown missed the first half of training camp due to a hamstring injury. He was able to suit up for the Saints' last two preseason games, and against the Titans on Sunday, he caught three passes on four targets for 40 yards and one touchdown. St. Brown should receive plenty of interest from teams in need of wide receiver depth, and the 2018 sixth-round pick could be on an NFL roster before Week 1.

St. Brown (hamstring) is dressed for Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
St. Brown is ready to make his Saints debut after sitting out the preseason opener against the Cardinals. The 27-year-old wide receiver is battling for a roster spot in New Orleans, so it's encouraging that he has finally recovered from a hamstring injury that has hampered him throughout training camp.

Head coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that St. Brown missed practice due to a hamstring injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
St. Brown signed with the Saints in April after spending the last two seasons with the Bears. He missed 10 regular-season games in 2023 due to separate hamstring and pectoral injuries, and he finished the season with five catches for 62 yards on six targets.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Set for free agency
Rotowire
St. Brown caught one pass for 18 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
St. Brown was most valuable as a blocker, which explains why he was targeted six times in seven games played despite being on the field between 37 and 59 percent of the snaps in each contest he suited up for. The veteran ended the season with five catches for 62 yards. After two seasons with Chicago and five years in the league, St. Brown is an unrestricted free agent.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Looking good for Sunday
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
St. Brown has missed the last three games due to a pectoral injury, but he appears to be on track to return this Sunday against the Falcons. With Darnell Mooney in concussion protocol, St. Brown could be in line for an expanded reps at receiver, though it won't necessarily translate to a meaningful target share.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Out for Sunday
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
The 27-year-old wideout is in line to miss his third consecutive game in Week 16, as he continues to recover from a pectoral issue. With St. Brown missing even more time, expect Tyler Scott to continue seeing increased opportunities as the Bears' No. 3 wide receiver.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Misses another practice
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
St. Brown has missed Chicago's last two games with this pectoral issue, and he's now opened the team's week of practice with consecutive DNPs. The 27-year-old wideout has not practiced since popping up on the Bears' injury report prior to the team's Week 15 contest, and he'll almost certainly carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Opens Week 15 with practice absence
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
St. Brown and fellow wideout DJ Moore (ankle) both opened the week as spectators for practice, though Moore was able to play through the injury in last week's win over the Lions and looks likely at this stage to be available for Sunday's game against the Browns. Meanwhile, St. Brown was sidelined against Detroit, and his inability to practice Wednesday doesn't provide much early optimism that he'll be back in action this weekend. Even if St. Brown is able to overcome the pectoral injury and gain clearance for Sunday's contest, he won't be a high-priority option in Chicago's passing attack.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Out Sunday, viewed as week-to-week
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Lions.
According to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic, head coach Matt Eberflus labeled St. Brown as "week-to-week," so the veteran wideout could be in line to miss game action beyond Sunday after he wasn't able to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday. St. Brown's upcoming absence becomes all the more interesting after depth receivers Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) were added to the injury report Friday and are listed as questionable for Sunday. It's more a problem for the Bears than fantasy managers, as Chicago uses three-receiver sets less often than most teams and hasn't provided many targets for any pass catchers besides wideout DJ Moore and tight end Cole Kmet. Even No. 2 wide receiver Darnell Mooney has struggled to stay involved while playing a vast majority of the snaps on offense week after week.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Surprise addition to injury report
Rotowire
St. Brown (pectoral) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
The 27-year-old wideout wasn't listed on Chicago's injury report Wednesday, but he now seems to be dealing with some sort of pectoral issue that held him out of Thursday's practice. Unless St. Brown is able to log a full practice session Friday, he'll almost certainly carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Activated off IR
Rotowire
St. Brown (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve and is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Panthers, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
The 27-year-old wideout has spent the last four weeks on IR with a hamstring issue, but he's got a chance to play Thursday night after being activated to the team's active roster. St. Brown recorded one catch for 21 yards through two games thus far, and he could very well be Chicago's No. 3 wide receiver once he returns to the field.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Deemed questionable
Rotowire
St. Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Carolina.
The Bears designated him to return from injured reserve Monday and will need to add St. Brown back to the 53-man roster in order to have him available for the Week 10 contest. The team listed him as a full practice participant Monday through Wednesday, suggesting he'll at least be ready by Week 11 if not by Thursday. It's unclear if St. Brown eventually will return to the No. 3 receiver role he occupied at times earlier this season, as the Bears have been using rookie Tyler Scott in that spot of late.

Bears' Equanimeous St. Brown: Moves to injured reserve
Rotowire
The Bears placed St. Brown (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.
St. Brown was inactive for the Bears' first three games of the season before stepping in as the team's No. 3 wideout beginning Week 4, when Chase Claypool was a healthy scratch and then traded to Miami the following week. The 27-year-old played 65 total snaps on offense in the Bears' last two games, but he wasn't especially involved in the passing game, drawing just two targets. With St. Brown now set to miss at least the next four games while recovering from the hamstring injury, rookie Tyler Scott will likely be next in line to get a look as the No. 3 option behind DJ Moore and Darnell Mooney.
