Beckham was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday because Addison and Justin Jefferson were questionable heading into the game. Jefferson rehabbed an ankle injury and is good to go in his "homecoming" game.
Demmings is recovering from a hamstring injury, and Darrisaw is in concussion protocol.
Thomas and Williams are inactive for the fifth consecutive week.
Brosmer will dress but is only eligible to play if Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz suffer injuries.
