Coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders that he expects Kupp (ankle) to play Thursday against the Vikings, Adam Grosbard of the Orange County Register reports.

Kupp logged three consecutive limited practices leading up to Sunday's win but ultimately was ruled out after being listed as questionable Friday. The team was evidently pleased with what it saw from Kupp in practice, as the star receiver's expected to see his first action since Week 2 when the Rams return to action Thursday against the Vikings. Kupp's status leading up to the game still will be worth tracking, though the Rams may hold walkthroughs rather than full practices on a short week.

Berrios' left knee injury might be "significant," Josh Moser of WSVN-TV in Miami reports.

Miami's punt and kick returner will get an MRI on his knee Monday, per Moser. Berrios suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Colts. De'Von Achane and Malik Washington might be next in line to handle return duties for the Dolphins.

Corley (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday night's contest against the Steelers.

Corley will be a healthy scratch for the third game in a row as he remains buried on the Jets' depth chart. With the addition of Davante Adams via trade from the Raiders, Corley appears unlikely to make much of an impact with New York in the near future.

Nabers caught four of eight targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Eagles.

Seeing his first action since Week 4 after recovering from a concussion, Nabers had lackluster numbers but still led the Giants in receiving yards. although Wan'Dale Robinson saw one more target. It was the least productive performance of the rookie's young career. but assuming the Giants are a little more competitive in Week 8 against the Steelers, Nabers should return to the kind of volume he was getting before his injury -- 45 targets in his prior three games, which he turned into a mammoth 30-320-3 line.

Wilson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Jets.

The wide receiver was a limited participant in both the Thursday and Friday practice sessions. Wilson made his regular-season debut in Week 6, played on five offensive snaps and did not see a target.

Chase recorded five receptions on six targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns. He added one rush for 11 yards.

The Bengals had little pressure to perform offensively to walk away with a win against the Browns, limiting the overall passing volume. However, Chase continued to lag behind Tee Higgins in target volume, likely due to the attention he's received from opposing defenses. Chase did manage a few splash plays of 18 and 17 yards -- the former of which went for a touchdown. He now has fewer than 75 receiving yards in four of seven games on the campaign, though his six touchdowns have made him an elite fantasy option.

Higgins recorded four catches on eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns.

With opposing defenses focused on holding Ja'Marr Chase in check, Higgins has taken on significant target volume since getting fully healthy. Across his last four games, he's commanded 39 total targets while seeing no fewer than seven in any contest. Higgins made the most of his chances in Sunday's win, highlighted by a 25-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter as well as other long receptions of 21, 19, and 17 yards. While he has yet to top 100 yards in a game for the campaign, Higgins does have at least 75 in each of his last three contests while recording three scores.

Smith caught one of two targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.

With the Eagles in control almost from the opening kickoff, Jalen Hurts wound up attempting only 14 passes in total on the afternoon, and A.J. Brown was the only receiver to do any damage with a 5-89-1 line on five targets. Smith's disappointing showing could be erased quickly though, and he figures to see much higher volume in a potential Week 8 barn burner against the high-powered Bengals.

Brown caught all five of his targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.

The Eagles didn't need to air it out much in the rout, as Jalen Hurts attempted only 14 passes in total, and Brown wound up as the only Philadelphia pass catcher with more than two receptions or 11 yards. Most of his production came in the first half, highlighted by a 41-yard score on a deep toss by Hurts down the sideline. Brown has found the end zone in all three of his games this season sandwiched around a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, a streak he'll look to continue in Week 8 against the Bengals.

Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Smith-Schuster has been ruled out after previously being deemed questionable to return. He aggravated a hamstring injury that had bothered Smith-Schuster during practice Thursday and Friday. The veteran wide receiver wasn't targeted prior to exiting the game. His next chance to suit up will be Week 8 in Vegas.
