San Francisco signed Pettis to its practice squad Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 49ers must have liked what they saw when they worked out Pettis on Tuesday, as he's now already a member of their practice squad. The team is dealing with injuries to more than a few of its wide receivers, including veterans Mike Evans (ribs) and Demarcus Robinson (ankle), so Pettis could see himself elevated to the active roster relatively soon.

Coleman saw two targets and recorded a 37-yard catch during the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Coleman's practice reps during Week 3 prep were limited by an ankle injury that he sustained in Buffalo's Week 2 win over Detroit. He was cleared to play against the Chargers and ended up playing 32 of 66 offensive snaps (48.5 percent), third most among Bills wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir (48) and DJ Moore (42). Coleman was responsible for the Bills' longest play of the game late in the second quarter, when he hauled in a 37-yard pass from Josh Allen that led to a one-yard touchdown run by the superstar QB on the next play. Coleman is capable of making big plays in any given game, but it's hard to rely on him for consistent production when he's competing against Moore, Shakir, tight end Dalton Kincaid and running back James Cook for targets from Allen, with Ty Johnson and Joshua Palmer also in the mix. The Bills wrap up their three-game homestand this Sunday in an AFC East showdown against the Patriots, whose defense gave up 35 points (including three passing touchdowns) to the Jaguars in a Week 3 loss.

The Giants signed Jones to the active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Jones will slot in as the team's fifth-string receiver following the release of Odell Beckham earlier in the day. Jones is also expected to serve as the backup punt returner behind Braxton Berrios.

The Raiders signed Dorsett to their practice squad Tuesday.

Dorsett is in a familiar position after spending almost all of last season on Las Vegas' practice squad. He received one elevation but ended up being a healthy scratch for that contest. Dorsett has played in parts of eight NFL campaigns but hasn't appeared in a regular-season contest since 2023. He'll likely serve as organizational wideout depth for the Raiders, with a gameday elevation potentially dependent on the health of the team's WRs on the active roster.

Bourne hauled in two passes on three targets for 22 yards during the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Bourne's first target of the game came early in the first quarter, but he wasn't looked at by Jacoby Brissett again until late in the fourth, when the duo connected on passes of 14 and eight yards on back-to-back plays on a drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by Brissett. Bourne played 48 of 87 offensive snaps (55.2 percent), which was third-most among Cardinals wide receivers behind Michael Wilson (81) and Marvin Harrison (67). Bourne is up to a 12-108-0 receiving line (14 targets) through three regular-season games, and he's seemingly ahead of Harrison and behind Wilson and Trey McBride on Brissett's go-to list in the passing game. Up next is a Week 4 road tilt against the Giants this Sunday.

The Raiders signed White from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

White began the campaign on Las Vegas' practice squad but has already been elevated for game day the maximum three times. He's collected three catches on six targets for 28 yards, with all three receptions going for touchdowns. Jack Bech (forearm) landed on injured reserve Tuesday, and White could immediately take Bech's role as the Raiders' No. 3 wide receiver.

The Ravens cut Jackson from the practice squad Tuesday.

Jackson signed with the Ravens' practice squad Sept. 22, but he was not elevated to the active roster for the team's Week 3 victory over the Cowboys. The Auburn product will explore his next options and look to join a team in need of a wide receiver who can also contribute on special teams.

The Bengals waived Williams on Tuesday.

Williams muffed a punt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Steelers, which led to the game-winning field goal for Pittsburgh. With Williams cut from the team and the Bengals dealing with injuries to both Andrei Iosivas (thumb, IR) and Colbie Young (knee), Cincinnati opted to replenish its depth at wide receiver by signing Mitchell Tinsley from Houston's practice squad to the active roster. Assuming he clears waivers, Williams will have the opportunity to explore his next options and look to join a team in need of a returner on special teams.

Wallace (knee) didn't participate in Cleveland's practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Wallace is in danger of missing Thursday's matchup versus the Steelers, as he was also listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate after suffering a knee injury during the Week 3 win over Carolina. Isaiah Bond and Malachi Corley could be in line for increased playing time if Wallace is unable to suit up for Thursday's game.

Waddle is believed to be "fine" despite being seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's victory over the Rams, Sam Jane of The Denver Post reports.

Concern was raised about Waddle's status after he was spotted -- per Jon Heath of Broncos Wire -- with a boot on his foot Sunday night, but Jane's report indicates Waddle is not dealing with any sort of serious setback. More will be known about Waddle's status either at the start of or after Denver's Wednesday practice session.
