Omar Cooper Jr. WR | NYJ
Jets' Omar Cooper: Considered week-to-week
Cooper (ankle) is "week-to-week," and the hope is he returns "within the next four weeks," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cooper underwent an MRI after spraining his ankle in Sunday's victory over the Titans, and per the report he received "positive news" and could be back at some point in the next month. Isaiah Williams picked up the bulk of the work in Cooper's place in Week 1, and he figures to see extra snaps until the rookie first-round pick is ready to return.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Opens season with three catches
Worthy secured three of six targets for 18 yards in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.
Worthy was on the receiving end of Patrick Mahomes' first completion of the season, which went for nine yards and took the Chiefs down to the Broncos' 26-yard line on an opening drive that culminated in a 15-yard touchdown run by the returning signal-caller. Worthy produced modest gains on his other pair of grabs, but Mahomes recorded just five completions overall to wide receivers in the season-opening victory. Worthy boasts the potential for much better production, and he could have a good opportunity to deliver on that upside in a favorable Week 2 home matchup against the Colts on Sunday night.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Limited to two catches in loss
Sutton secured two of five targets for 11 yards in the Broncos' 31-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
Sutton, along with the rest of the Broncos offense, endured a miserable night, and the veteran receiver tied for the second-fewest receptions and third-fewest yards among Denver pass catchers to record at least one grab. Sutton also was the intended receiver on Bo Nix's early-game interception, making it an all-around throwaway season-opening performance. Sutton's first chance to atone comes in Denver's Week 2 home opener Sunday, which sees a talented Jaguars team come into the Mile High City.

Britain Covey WR | PHI
Britain Covey: Reverts to Philly's practice squad
Covey reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Covey saw six special-teams snaps the Eagles' win over the Commanders on Sunday, returning four punts for 37 yards. While Covey's average of 9.3 yards per punt return was impressive, it remains to be seen if he'll be elevated for a Week 2 road matchup against the Titans.

Rashee Rice WR | KC
Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Gets in end zone to start season
Rice brought in both targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.
Rice was on the receiving end of Patrick Mahomes' first touchdown pass of the season, doing all the work on a 13-yard scoring grab off a wide-receiver screen late in the first half that saw him break multiple tackles. Rice was quiet otherwise, but he did deliver excellent downfield blocking on Travis Kelce's game-long 59-yard catch in the third quarter. Mahomes connected on just five occasions with Rice and fellow starting wideout Xavier Worthy on Monday night, but that volume could certainly increase in a favorable Week 2 home matchup Sunday night against a Colts defense that was exposed in every facet by the Ravens in Week 1.

Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Braxton Berrios: Shifts back to practice squad
Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.
The wide receiver saw action on 12 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in New York's 28-20 win over Dallas on Sunday night, making two fair catches on punts and returning one kickoff for 28 yards. He was elevated for the game primarily to serve as a return specialist. It remains to be seen if Berrios will stay in that role, though he's filled it consistently across an eight-year NFL career.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Broncos' Jaylen Waddle: Nearly blanked in Broncos debut
Waddle brought in one of three targets for two yards in the Broncos' 31-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
Waddle's regular-season Broncos debut was as miserable as his final line suggests, as the prominent offseason addition finished last in receptions and yards among Denver players that recorded at least one catch. One of the two targets Waddle couldn't corral was a key third-down drop early in the third quarter, although he was hardly the only underwhelming component of a pass-catching corps that produced a modest 131 total receiving yards. More productive performances are surely ahead for Waddle and the Broncos' air attack, with the first opportunity for atonement coming in a Week 2 home showdown against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Kevin Austin Jr. WR | NO
Kevin Austin: Reverts to NOLA's practice squad
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Austin played just six total snaps in Sunday's overtime loss to the Lions. The wide receiver played five offensive snaps, good for just five percent of the team's total offensive plays. Austin's extremely minimal usage casts some doubt as to when he might be elevated again.
-
Cody White WR | LV
Cody White: Reverts to practice squad
White reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
White failed to catch his only target in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. The wide receiver played 11 of the 68 offensive snaps for the team, but he added another 14 reps on special teams and recorded three tackles on kick coverage.
-
Kaden Davis WR | CHI
Kaden Davis: Reverts to Chicago's practice squad
Davis reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Davis played 10 offensive snaps for the Bears but did not appear in the box score during Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers. The wide receiver's real value came on special teams, as he recovered Jimmy Horn's muffed punt to steal a possession for the Bears.
