Braxton Berrios WR | HOU
Texans' Braxton Berrios: Limited participant Thursday
Berrios (chest) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
That's two consecutive limited practices for Berrios leading up to Week 9 against Denver. He was a significant performer as a fill-in last week during a win over the 49ers, catching five of five targets for 38 yards, but a repeat effort appears unlikely. Even if healthy and ready to go Sunday, Berrios' usage as a receiver is expected to be curtailed. That's because injured wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom practiced fully Thursday, look like they'll be available.

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Commits key turnover in loss
Washington brought in all three targets for 48 yards, rushed three times for 13 yards, returned two punts for 38 yards and lost a fumble in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Washington once again played a solid complementary role in the Dolphins' Tyreek Hill-less air attack, while also continuing to moonlight as an occasional rusher and primary punt returner. It was in the former capacity that Washington committed a key turnover Thursday, as he fumbled on the Ravens' 11-yard line early in the fourth quarter on his third and final carry of the night. The second-year wideout has between three and five catches in five consecutive games, and he should continue to handle multiple roles in a Week 10 home divisional clash against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Leads passing attack again Thursday
Flowers secured all five targets for 64 yards in the Ravens' 28-6 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.
Flowers led the Ravens across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets after also setting the pace in all three categories during Sunday's win over the Bears. He was back to working with Lamar Jackson on Thursday after the latter's three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and the third-year receiver now has at least five receptions in five consecutive contests. Flowers next takes aim at the Vikings secondary in a Week 10 road matchup on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Leads pass catchers again in loss
Waddle secured six of nine targets for 82 yards in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Waddle tied for the team lead in receptions with De'Von Achane while setting the pace in receiving yards and finishing second in targets. It was the second productive game in the last five days for the fifth-year receiver, who posted a 5-99-1 line on six targets versus the Falcons on Sunday. Waddle has exceeded 80 receiving yards in four of the last five games overall, and he should continue to fill a clear No. 1 role in a typically concentrated Dolphins air attack when the Bills come to town for a Week 10 matchup on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Dareke Young WR | SEA
Seahawks' Dareke Young: Misses practice again
Young (quadriceps) sat out of practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young left Seattle's Week 7 win over Houston due to a hip injury, but it's since been reclassified as a quad issue. At the moment, even after the Seahawks' bye, he appears likely to miss the team's Week 9 game as well. George Holani should serve as Seattle's kick returner if Young has to miss Sunday night's matchup with the Commanders.
-
Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Limited Thursday
Bobo (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The wide receiver did not appear on Wednesday's injury report, so the Achilles issue appears to be new. Bobo's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday night's matchup with the Commanders. Three of Seattle's five wide receivers, Bobo, Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and Dareke Young (hip), are all questionable at the moment, leaving Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tory Horton as the only healthy wideouts on the roster.
-
D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Cleared to play vs. Baltimore
Eskridge (shoulder) is active for Thursday's game against the Ravens.
Eskridge was tagged as questionable for Week 9 after logging a full practice Wednesday, and the 2021 second-rounder has been officially cleared to play Thursday after going through pregame warmups. Eskridge will give the Dolphins depth at wide receiver while also serving as a returner on kickoffs.
-
Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Tending to hamstring injury
Kupp (heel/hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
One day removed from being listed as full with just a heel injury Wednesday, Kupp experienced a downgrade in activity level as a hamstring issue was added to Seattle's practice report. His status thus is worth monitoring as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game at Washington. With Jake Bobo (Achilles) limited Thursday and Dareke Young (quadriceps) unable to practice so far this week, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tory Horton are the only healthy wide receivers on the Seahawks' active roster at the moment.
-
Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: Still dealing with knee injury
Jones (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Jones appears to be dealing with the same knee issue that capped his practice reps before the Cardinals' last two games before a Week 8 bye. While working with fill-in QB Jacoby Brissett with Kyler Murray (foot) inactive for those contests, Jones hauled in seven of 10 passes for 146 yards and no touchdowns (after combining for a 5-37-0 line on seven targets in his first four appearances of the season). There's a chance Brissett again leads Arizona's offense Monday at Dallas, as Murray kicked off Week 9 prep as a limited participant as well.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Healthy scratch Week 9
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against Miami.
Walker will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, which leaves Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester as the Ravens' depth options at wide receiver behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. Walker's next chance to play is Week 10 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 9.
