  49ers | Ricky Pearsall may be option    Tue Nov 4, 01:31 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) may have a chance to be available for the Week 10 game but will be evaluated later in the week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today's Kyle Madson noted, getting Pearsall back would be a huge lift for an offense that has been piecing together a receiving corps with an injured Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and a mix of seldom-used veterans, along with rookie Jordan Watkins. Pearsall emerged as their unquestioned No. 1 receiver before his exit in Week 4. The second-year man racked up 20 receptions for 327 yards on 29 targets. With George Kittle back in the mix and Christian McCaffrey leading the team in receiving, Pearsall's return would give the Niners all three top playmakers. We'll be watching for more. | 
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) will not have his 21-day practice window opened up this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: It's been clear all offseason that the 49ers are eager to take things slow with Aiyuk. He's a big piece of a potential future Super Bowl window, and the club doesn't want to jeopardize his future production in the name of rushing him back into action in 2025. Once the team opens the practice window, they'll have 21 days to decide whether to activate him. As USA Today's Kyle Madson suggested, they may be trying to manage his return around the Week 14 bye, where they'll get a bonus practice on Monday after the bye. |

Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has a chance to be available for the Week 10 game, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: Wicks has missed the last two weeks due to a calf injury that he sustained during a Week 7 win at Arizona. He hasn't practiced since he suffered the injury, so we'll be watching to see if he ramps that up this week. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson had three catches (on four targets) for 61 yards in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. had a career-high seven receptions, 96 yards, and a touchdown during the club's Week 9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He was targeted 10 times.
| Footballguys view: Harrison had six receptions three times in his career heading into Monday. His eight targets in the first half also set a career high. Harrison had 80 yards in the first half, his most in a first half since Week 2 of last season. His 22.6 fantasy points left him as WR6 for the week. Harrison will look to build on this performance in Seattle next Sunday. | 
Denver Broncos TE Nate Adkins (knee), S J.T. Gray (hamstring), S Brandon Jones (foot), S P.J. Locke (neck), WR Marvin Mims (concussion), CB Riley Moss (ankle) and CB Patrick Surtain II (pectoral) did not participate in practice Monday, Nov. 3. LB Jonathon Cooper (thumb), DE John Franklin-Myers (shoulder) and DT D.J. Jones (knee) were limited during practice. The Broncos did not hold a practice Monday, so the report is an estimation.

Link to storyBuffalo Bills WR Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is expected to be at least a limited participant during practice this week, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Palmer's availability for Week 10 is uncertain at this time.
| Footballguys view: As Sports Illustrated suggested, Palmer's absence hurt an already reeling Bills' wide receiving corps, which has struggled to produce outside of what has come from Khalil Shakir this season. If the Bills fail to land a wide receiver at the trade deadline, Palmer's contributions will become increasingly critical down the stretch. The Bills return to the practice field on Wednesday before taking on the Dolphins on Sunday in Miami. |

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is unlikely to be available to play in the Week 10 game, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: "I don't foresee [McLaurin]) making it for this weekend," Quinn said. "Knowing it's game-game-bye, that has an effect. But I don't have a timetable today." On Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that McLaurin could miss "possibly multiple weeks" due to the latest injury. Washington hosts Detroit next week and then heads over to Madrid to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 before a much-needed bye week. If that's the timeline, McLaurin could miss three games and have an extra week of rest before returning Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. We'll be watching for more. |

New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) is expected to participate in practice this week, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: A return to practice would put Wilson in line to suit up for the team's Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Wilson has been the Jets' most reliable receiver so far this 2025 season. Through six games this season, he leads New York in targets (56), receptions (36), receiving yards (395), and receiving touchdowns (4). We'll continue to monitor his progress in coming days. | 
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is considered day-to-day because of the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 9 and is expected to miss some practice time early in the week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: "I think Kayshon's going to be day-to-day, but I don't see him practicing early in the week," Vrabel told reporters on Monday. Boutte was limited to just 18 offensive snaps before leaving Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons. He has 23 catches for 431 yards and five touchdowns this season. Kyle Williams saw an uptick in playing time after his injury on Sunday. The Patriots play Tampa Bay in Week 10. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (rib) is scheduled to undergo a scan on the rib injury he suffered during the Week 9 game, but head coach Sean McVay said he is optimistic about Nacua's availability.
| Footballguys view: Despite not finishing the game, Nacua continued his elite-level season in Week 9, catching seven of eight targets for 95 yards and one touchdown before leaving. He's now ranked third in all of the NFL in receiving yards (711), behind the Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba (948) and the Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase (831). Even with a missed game and a bye week, Nacua ranks fourth in total fantasy points at his position. His 21.3-point per game average leads all wideouts. We'll monitor his progress as the Week 10 meeting with the Niners draws nearer. |

Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (hamstring) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Nov. 3.
| Footballguys view: Tillman has been out since suffering a hamstring injury against Detroit in Week 4. He has caught 11 passes for 106 yards with a pair of touchdowns so far this season. A limited passing attack in Cleveland also limits our interest in Tillman. He's a viable depth option in deeper leagues, but keep expectations in check. | 
Washington Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) suffered broken collarbone in Week 9 and is headed to Injured Reserve.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey left Sunday night's game after returning the opening kickoff. The 2024 third-round pick had 11 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns this season. | 
Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor caught one pass for 16 yards versus the Detroit Lions in Week 9. He was targeted four times.

Link to storySeattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted eight receptions for 129 yards on nine targets in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, while posting a single rushing attempt for 11 yards.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba extended his streak of over 100 receiving yards to four games. It was the breakout superstar's sixth time surpassing the century mark in eight starts this year, resulting in a 58-948-4 receiving line over that span. He became the fifth player in the Super Bowl era with at least 75 yards in each of his first eight games, joining Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen (2018), Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown (2014), Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin (1995), and San Francisco 49ers TE Dwight Clark (1982). The Seahawks face the Cardinals' bottom-third-ranked pass defense in Week 10. |
