Cooper caught seven of 12 targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns before suffering an undisclosed injury late in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants. Coach Kevin Stefanski didn't have an update on Cooper's status after the game, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Cooper caught a 24-yard touchdown on Cleveland's first play of the game after the Giants fumbled the opening kickoff. He added a six-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter, but the Browns failed to muster any scoring drives outside of those two. Cooper bounced back emphatically after coming in with just five catches for 27 yards on 17 targets, but the veteran wide receiver went down on Cleveland's final drive before walking off under his own power, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. An update on Cooper's status will surface when the Browns prepare to face the Raiders in Week 4.

Nabers caught eight of 12 targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns. He also rushed twice for four yards and threw an incomplete pass.

Nabers picked up a first down on fourth-and-1 with two yards on an end-around in the first quarter, then took over in the second quarter. Four plays after making a spectacular catch for a 28-yard gain down the sideline, Nabers capped that drive with an even better catch for a three-yard touchdown, on which the rookie displayed tremendous body control to get both feet down before his hand touched out of bounds as he was falling down. Just 1:33 later, Nabers caught a five-yard touchdown to give the Giants a 21-7 lead heading into the locker room. The Giants leaned on their defense and running game after halftime to seal the win and improve to 1-2 heading into Thursday's home game against the Cowboys.

Slayton (thumb) returned to Sunday's contest in Cleveland, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

After a brief time on the sideline to tend to a thumb injury, Slayton was able to get back into Sunday's game, looking to build upon his one catch (on two targets) for seven yards.

Slayton exited Sunday's contest at Cleveland due to a thumb injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

At the time of his departure in the second half, Slayton had hauled in one of two targets for seven yards. The Giants' healthy and available wide receivers Sunday are Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Bryce Ford-Wheaton and Ihmir Smith-Marsette.

Smith won't return to Sunday's game in New Orleans due to a concussion.

Smith got a concussion check after he stayed on the turf for some time at the end of a five-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. Now that a head injury has been confirmed for Smith, he'll check out of Week 3 with seven catches (on 10 targets) for 79 yards. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) inactive and Britain Covey (shoulder) ruled out of Sunday's contest, the Eagles' receiving corps has been whittled down to Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell.

Smith is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans.

Smith remained on the turf for a spell at the end of a five-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. If he ends up entering the concussion protocol, he'll be the second Eagles wide receiver to join A.J. Brown (hamstring) as out after Britain Covey sustained a shoulder injury earlier Sunday. For the time being, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the healthy options at the position available to QB Jalen Hurts.

Harty (calf) is active for Sunday's game at the Cowboys.

As expected, Harty will be available for the Ravens' tilt in Week 3. He should continue to make the majority of his contributions on special teams Sunday with Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman drawing most of the targets.

Brooks (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Ravens.

The reserve wideout was limited in the last two practices of the week, but Brooks will be available to Dak Prescott as the No. 4 receiver behind the top trio of CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert. Brooks has played an unsurprisingly minor role thus far over the first two games, recording a 2-28 line on four targets.

Weaver (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.

Weaver missed the first two weeks with an oblique injury but has practiced in full this week, suggesting he's now healthy. However, that didn't guarantee he'd get to play in Week 3, and he'll now have to wait until next Sunday against the Commanders to have the opportunity to make his NFL debut.

Dortch (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions.

The Cardinals tacked on Dortch to Friday's practice report as limited due to a hamstring injury, which left him questionable for Week 3 action. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Dortch was in line to play through it, and indeed that'll come to pass. He's a regular in Arizona's offense, but with WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson, TE Trey McBride and even RB James Conner ahead of him in the pecking order for targets, Dortch's output (8-58-0 on 10 targets, a four-yard carry through two contests) is too inconsistent to trust for fantasy purposes on a weekly basis.
