NFL Player News

St. Brown (ribs) is active for Sunday's game in Miami.

St. Brown tended to a rib injury during Week 9 prep that limited him in all three sessions and left him questionable ahead of the weekend. Having said that, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reported Sunday morning that St. Brown is expected to play, which now has been confirmed. St. Brown will be taking on a Dolphins defense that has allowed an NFL-worst 9.8 yards per target to opposing wide receivers this season.

Pickens (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

For a second week in a row, Pickens endured practice restrictions due to a hamstring injury, leaving him questionable to suit up in Week 9. On Friday, head coach Brian Schottenheimer told Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site that he's "hopeful" Pickens will be available this weekend, but that didn't come to pass. With Pickens and fellow WR KaVontae Turpin (ribs) inactive Sunday, CeeDee Lamb, Ryan Flournoy, Jonathan Mingo, Camden Brown and Jordan Hudson will compose Dallas' receiving corps.

Zaccheaus is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals in Madrid, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Zaccheaus exited the third quarter of Sunday's international contest with a head injury. The wide receiver will be evaluated by one of the NFL's independent neurologists, and if he is deemed to have a concussion will be out for the remainder of the game. While Zaccheaus is absent, Chris Blair and Beaux Collins could see more snaps with the offense.

The Vikings are signing Beckham from the practice squad to the active roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Beckham kicked off the season with the Giants but was targeted just one time through the first three contests before the team released him Sept. 29. He then joined the Vikings on the practice squad and was elevated for Week 5 but eventually was inactive. Thus, if Beckham is able to avoid such a listing Monday against the Bills, it'll mark the sixth different organization in which he's suited up in his career.

Evans (Achilles), who won't play in Sunday's game against the Raiders, appears to be "questionable at best" for next Sunday's road matchup with the Cowboys, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Evans is missing a second straight contest Sunday after aggravating a right Achilles injury during a Week 6 win against the Commanders. He hasn't been able to practice in the meantime, and while he's the type of player that doesn't require practice reps during the week to be available on game days, even work on the side Wednesday through Friday would be a welcome sign. In any case, with fellow WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) also sidelined this weekend and Christian Kirk (knee) being placed on IR on Saturday, Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge are the options at the position to be active in Week 9.

Collins (hip) is listed as active Sunday against the Bengals in Madrid, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

On cut-down day on Aug. 30, the Falcons placed Collins on IR with a designation to return, which would have allowed him to practice as early as Week 3 prep. Instead, his hip injury kept him out of drills until Week 7, when his 21-day window opened, but he sat out the last two games before Atlanta finally activated him Saturday. With Zachariah Branch sidelined Sunday due to a hamstring issue, Collins will serve as a reserve WR along with Chris Blair behind Drake London, Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus.

Egbuka (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Chicago, is slated to return to action, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

On the heels of two games on the sideline due to a concussion and a foot injury, Egbuka kicked off this week as a non-participant Wednesday before logging back-to-back full sessions Thursday and Friday. Despite clearing the protocol for head injuries ahead of Week 8 action, he was listed as questionable with the foot issue ahead of Sunday's matchup, but Pelissero's report indicates Egbuka is trending toward active status. Egbuka's availability will be clarified approximately 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

St. Brown (ribs) is slated to play in Sunday's game at Miami, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

St. Brown was forced from last Sunday's win against the Vikings for a spell due to an undisclosed injury, but he was able to return and finished with seven catches (on eight targets) for 46 yards and a 10-yard carry. He then was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a rib issue and followed it up with back-to-back capped sessions before being tagged as questionable for Week 9 action. Ultimately, St. Brown's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

The 49ers elevated Hodge from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

Hodge just signed with San Francisco's practice squad Monday, and he'll get an immediate chance to help the team's air attack. Starting wideouts Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) are both out for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas, and Christian Kirk (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Therefore, Hodge figures to compete for WR snaps along with Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing, though Hodge could be last in the pecking order among that group.

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

Hyatt was a regular part of the wideout corps with New York during his first two NFL seasons, but his role was reduced dramatically last year, and he's spent most of 2026 on the team's practice squad. He saw his first regular-season action as a practice-squad elevation Week 7 versus Houston and played 10 total snaps (four on offense and six on special teams) without otherwise getting into the box score. Hyatt doesn't figure to see much work on offense Sunday against Philadelphia, though he could receive a slight bump if Charlie Jones (who is questionable due to a hand injury) can't suit up.
