Treylon Burks WR | WAS
Titans' Treylon Burks: Role shrinks in loss
Burks recorded one reception on one target for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts.
Burks has one catch in four of five games this season, so his stat line wasn't all that surprising. However, he played a season-low nine offensive snaps (16 percent), three fewer than Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Titans' Tyler Boyd: Another three catches
Boyd recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts.
Boyd continued in his typical role as the primary slot receiver in Tennessee's offense and has seen at least three targets in all but one game this season while recording two or three catches in every contest. Though he has a stable role, he hasn't topped 33 yards in any game, in part due to the stagnant Titans scheme.

Malachi Corley WR | CLE
Jets' Malachi Corley: Won't play Monday night
Corley (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Bills.
Corley had been active for the Jets' first four games of the season, but Monday's healthy scratch marks the second consecutive game that the rookie will be inactive. The Jets' wide-receiver corps for Week 6 will consist of Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams, Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Retreats to third on depth chart
Dotson had just one catch for 10 yards on three targets in Sunday's 20-16 in over the Browns. He also rushed once for 13 yards.
Dotson wasn't able to carve out a significant role in the Eagles' offense when injuries to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith elevated him to a starting spot earlier in the season, so it's no surprise to see his role remain small now that those two are healthy again. Dotson has a total of seven touches for 48 yards and no touches through five games this season.

Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Available versus Jets
Shakir (ankle) is active for Monday night's game against the Jets.
Shakir didn't play in the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Texans and was listed as a non-participant on Thursday and Friday's practice reports, but he was able to log a limited session Saturday before being deemed questionable for Monday's contest. It remains be seen how close to 100 percent he'll be, but barring any in-game setbacks he'll have an opportunity to reclaim his role in a Buffalo WR corps that also includes Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Kaden Davis WR | CLE
Kaden Davis: Dropped by Denver
The Broncos cut Davis from their practice squad Monday, Mike Klis of 104.3 FM The Fan reports.
Davis rejoined the Broncos' practice squad on Oct. 8, but it now appears the team has decided to move in a different direction. In a corresponding move, the Broncos signed cornerback Quinton Newsome to their practice squad to ensure secondary depth with Patrick Surtain (concussion) likely missing Thursday night's matchup against the Saints.

T.J. Luther WR | CAR
T.J. Luther: Dealing with injury
The Packers placed Luther (undisclosed) on their practice-squad injured list Monday.
The Gardner Webb product joined the Packers' practice squad after failing to make the Steelers' initial 53-man roster in late August. Luther has yet to see any NFL action after posting a 63-1,166-8 receiving line in his final collegiate season in 2022.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Saints' Cedrick Wilson: Still nursing ankle injury
Wilson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Wilson played through his ankle issue in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, catching two of his three targets for 28 yards across 35 offensive snaps. The 28-year-old wideout is expected to continue playing through injury Thursday night in New Orleans' Week 7 matchup against the Broncos unless he downgrades to a DNP either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Concussion confirmed by coach
Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Monday that Harrison suffered a concussion during Sunday's 34-13 loss at Green Bay, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Harrison was a bit wobbly after enduring a big hit on an incomplete pass in the middle of the second quarter Sunday, and he was ruled out after getting a concussion check. The Cardinals don't play again until next Monday versus the Chargers, so he'll be afforded extra time to make his way through the concussion protocol. Harrison will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up in Week 7.

Lance McCutcheon WR | TEN
Lance McCutcheon: Joins Steelers' practice squad
The Steelers signed McCutcheon to their practice squad Monday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
McCutcheon spent most of last season with the Jets' practice squad after appearing in 10 games with the Rams in 2022, primarily in a special-teams role. The Montana State product has found a new home in Pittsburgh and could be elevated to the active roster if the Steelers' wide-receiver corps faces injuries at any point this season.
