  • Dyami Brown WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Good to go in Week 9

    Brown (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

    Brown opened Week 9 prep as limited due to a shoulder issue Wednesday, but full practices Thursday and Friday have cleared him to suit up Sunday, when he'll be without Travis Hunter for the first of at least four contests after the rookie first-round pick was placed on injured reserve following Thursday's non-contact knee injury. Brown's snap share and target count figure to increase for as long as Hunter is sidelined, but he'll still need to contend with Brian Thomas (shoulder), Parker Washington and Tim Patrick (groin) for QB Trevor Lawrence's attention.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Won't play Week 9

    Bobo (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Bobo was listed on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to an Achilles injury. He was unable to practice Friday, and the third-year wideout will end up missing his second game of the season, though head coach Mike Macdonald clarified that Bobo's Achilles issue isn't a rupture or tear, per Dugar. The Seahawks have ruled out both Bobo and Dareke Young (hip) and have listed Cooper Kupp (heel/hamstring) as questionable, so Seattle will likely elevate at least one of Ricky White, Cody White, Courtney Jackson and Tyrone Broden from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 9.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Zay Jones: Limited again Friday

    Jones (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    In the wake of the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, Jones continues to tend to the knee injury that has bothered him since Week 6 prep. With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt this week, he likely will need to log a full practice Saturday in order to avoid a designation for Monday's game at Dallas. If Jones is able to suit up Week 9, the question remains who between Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett will be under center, as Murray remains limited due to a lingering mid-foot sprain.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Ruled out for Sunday

    Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    With Mims unable to gain clearance to play this week, the wideout will target a potential return to action Thursday against the Raiders. In his absence Sunday, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant will lead Denver's Week 9 WR corps, with Trent Sherfield also available to mix in.

  • Travis Hunter WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Hunter: ACL reportedly intact

    Initial testing on Hunter's knee revealed that the wideout's ACL is intact, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Per John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site, coach Liam Coen announced Friday that Hunter is slated to go on IR, which will cause him to miss at least four games. Beyond that, the rookie first-rounder will need to go through additional testing to determine both the extent of his non-contact knee injury, as well as how long he'll be sidelined, with no answers on that front expected before next week. In Hunter's looming absence, the Jaguars' top three wide receivers likely will be Brian Thomas (shoulder), Dyami Brown and Parker Washington.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Ruled out again

    Pearsall (knee) won't play Sunday against the Giants, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    He's ruled out for a fifth straight game and still hasn't returned to practice, but reports this week at least pointed to progress with Pearsall's side work. His lack of participation in actual practices nonetheless hints at significant risk of missing time beyond Week 9.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Questionable for Sunday night

    Kupp (heel/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Washington, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    No. 3 wideout Tory Horton could get more playing time than usual, with Kupp listed as questionable while backups Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (hip) have already been ruled out. It's a situation where practice-squad promotions won't necessarily provide information on Kupp's chances to play, as the Seahawks need depth at wide receiver even if it turns out the 32-year-old is fine to handle his usual role. Kupp opened the week as a full practice participant, listed with only a heel injury, before downgrading to limited Thursday and having a hamstring injury added to the report. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald with confirmed with Dugar on Friday that the hamstring injury happened during practice -- perhaps not the best sign for Kupp's odds of avoiding the inactive list ahead of an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday night.

  • Scott Miller WR | PIT

    Steelers' Scotty Miller: Out for Week 9

    Miller (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Miller has just one catch for nine yards across six appearances this season. He's well off the fantasy radar behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson in the Steelers' wideout room.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Could return in Week 9

    Oliver (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

    Following a week of limited practice sessions, Oliver has a chance to return in Week 9. The Youngstown State product has missed the Titans' last six games due to a knee injury, and he caught his lone target for eight yards across two appearances this season. If he's active Sunday, he'll likely play a depth role in Tennessee's receiving corps while contributing in the kick-return game.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Cleared to play again

    Watson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Carolina.

    The Packers continue to limit Watson's practice workload even after he caught four passes for 85 yards in his 2025 debut last Sunday at Pittsburgh. He handled a 56 percent snap share and 62 percent route share in that contest, ranking third among Green Bay's WRs in both categories while outproducing both Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden. The early returns look good on Watson getting back to full strength after a late-season ACL tear in 2024.
