Godwin secured five of six targets for 64 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Godwin co-led the Buccaneers in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards on the night. However, his target total, which was second on the night to Mike Evans' seven, was Godwin's lowest of the season through five games. Nevertheless, the veteran Penn State product has a critical role in coordinator Liam Coen's offense and next takes aim at a talented Saints secondary in Week 6 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Evans secured five of seven targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Evans hit pay dirt from two and 23 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, his fourth and fifth touchdowns of the season. However, the veteran wideout posted just three receptions for 37 yards as far as his non-scoring catches, although he had a key recovery of a Chris Godwin fumble just past the midway point of the third quarter following a 20-yard reception that saved a drive which culminated in a field goal. Evans will head into a Week 6 road matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13 still in search of his first 100-yard game of the campaign.

London brought in 12 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

London led the Falcons in receptions and receiving yards on the night while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in targets, serving as the biggest beneficiary of Kirk Cousins' record-setting 509-yard performance. The talented third-year wideout opened the scoring on the night as well, recording an 18-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession. London now has three touchdowns in the last four games and double-digit targets in back-to-back contests, displaying a level of chemistry with Cousins that fantasy managers had envisioned when investing draft capital this summer. London will next take aim at a vulnerable Panthers defense in a Week 6 road divisional clash on Sunday, Oct. 13.

London (head) returned to Thursday's game against Tampa Bay after being evaluated for a concussion, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London was hit in the head early in the second quarter and missed roughly one full offensive possession while being evaluated for a concussion. He was cleared and returned to game action with just over half of the second quarter remaining.

London exited Thursday's game against Tampa Bay and is being evaluated for a head injury, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

London got off to a quick start, racking up three catches for 38 yards and a touchdown. However, he took a hard shot to the head area while working over the middle of the field early in the second quarter. London went to the locker room, and there should be further clarity on his status once the evaluation is complete.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The punt returner and wide receiver did not record a stat before exiting. The two receivers in front of him on the receiver depth chart and behind him on the punt-returner depth chart, Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion), are inactive Thursday. Sterling Shepard and Cody Thompson are Tampa Bay's only other available receivers beyond Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Robinson (hip) practiced in full Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

One day removed from logging a capped session Wednesday, Robinson returned to full participation, paving the way for him to continue being a part of the Rams receiving corps Sunday against the Packers. With WRs Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve and Cooper Kupp (ankle) sidelined, Robinson hasn't been lacking in offensive snaps this season, earning at least 85 percent in all four games. Still, Robinson has mustered just a 9-161-0 line on 18 targets for the season while Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington have taken on larger target shares the past few contests.

Cowing (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Cowing has missed the first two practices of the week after injuring his shoulder in Week 4 against the Patriots. He'll have one more chance to practice in some capacity in order to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Cardinals. Ronnie Bell has a chance at serving as the 49ers' No. 4 wideout in Week 5 if both Cowing and Chris Conley (oblique) are unable to play.

Conley (oblique) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report.

Conley has missed the first two practices of the week, putting his availability for Sunday's game against Arizona in jeopardy. The 2015 third-round pick will have to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a shot at suiting up. With Jacob Cowing (shoulder) also missing a second straight practice, Ronnie Bell has a shot at serving as the 49ers' No. 4 wide receiver Sunday behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings.

Lockett (thigh) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett is enduring practice limitations due to a thigh injury for a fourth week out of a possible five to kick off the campaign. So far, the issue hasn't stopped him from being available on game days, resulting in a cumulative 18-199-0 line on 26 targets in four contests. Friday's injury report ultimately may clear Lockett ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants.
