Allen logged three offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win against the Colts.

Allen struggled to get on the field despite being listed as the Chiefs' No. 4 wide receiver. The Chiefs are utilizing more 12-personnel packages with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray as it leans into a revamped ground attack spearheaded by reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker. That's led to sparse opportunities for Allen through two games, though he could be featured more as the season continues.

Smith did not catch his only target during Monday's 28-6 win versus the Giants, but he recorded four punt returns for 32 yards and two kickoff returns for 29 yards.

With usual lead target Puka Nacua (groin) out, Smith was actually the Rams' third option at wide receiver in Week 2 in terms of offensive snaps (25) behind 2025 seventh-rounder Konata Mumpfield (42) and veteran Davante Adams (38), but Adams was the only Rams wideout who saw more than two targets. Smith remained heavily involved on special teams, however, and that will probably continue to be his primary function as long as one of Nacua or Adams is in pads.

Atwell caught one of two targets for 19 yards during Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants.

Atwell remained an afterthought in the offense, even with Puka Nacua (hip) unavailable, and only played 11 of the team's 62 offensive snaps. He ranked behind Konata Mumpfield (43), Davante Adams (40) and Xavier Smith (26) at wide receiver in offensive snaps, and even if Nacua remains inactive for a Week 3 tilt versus Denver, Atwell will have limited appeal.

Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Berrios played only five of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps in Monday's loss, but he was more involved on special teams, recording two fair catches on punts and two kickoff returns for a total of 53 yards. The Giants can elevate him once more this season before they'd have to sign him to their 53-man roster in order to have him suit up.

Beckham played three of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps and did not see a target in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.

Beckham has logged only 14 snaps on offense without recording a target through the first two games of the regular season. Despite the lack of usage, the veteran wide receiver could factor more into the Giants' gameplan moving forward if Malik Nabers were to miss time due to a shoulder injury that he sustained during Monday's loss. The Giants will head back MetLife Stadium to host the Titans on Sunday.

Mumpfield caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Monday night's win over the Giants.

With Puka Nacua (hip) out for Week 2 against New York, Mumpfield saw elevated snaps and actually led all Los Angeles wideouts with a 69 percent snap share on offense. It didn't translate to a notable increase in opportunities from Matthew Stafford, as Mumpfield is deep down the pecking order for targets.

The Jets signed McClain from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

The Jets needed depth at wide receiver due to Omar Cooper (ankle), Tim Patrick (groin) and, most recently, Arian Smith (knee) going on injured reserve. The Jets now have four healthy wide receivers on the active roster in McClain, Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams. McClain joined the Jets in early May as an undrafted free agent following his final college season at Arizona State, when he caught 31 passes for 441 yards and one touchdown across 13 games.

The Ravens signed Jackson to the practice squad Tuesday.

The Ravens were without No. 1 wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints. Jackson will provide additional organizational depth at wide receiver to a unit that is cycling through pass catchers as they attempt to fill the void created by Flowers' absence.

The Seahawks hosted Meiga (undisclosed) for a tryout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The Panthers waived Meiga from injured reserve with an injury settlement on Aug. 12, and he's now recovered from his undisclosed injury and is free to sign with any team. The undrafted free agent out of Coastal Carolina is hoping to provide additional depth to a Seahawks wide-receiver corps that has just five receivers on the active roster.

The Jets placed Smith (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Smith sustained a knee injury during the Jets' 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday. The second-year wideout is required to miss the Jets' next four games at minimum, meaning he's eligible to return Week 7 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Oct. 25 at the earliest. The Jets now have four healthy wide receivers on the active roster after signing Malik McClain in a corresponding move.
