Jimmy Horn Jr. WR | CAR
Panthers' Jimmy Horn: Leaves game with shoulder injury
Horn is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills due to a shoulder injury, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Horn sustained the injury during the second quarter, and he will have his shoulder evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. With Hunter Renfrow (coach's decision), inactive, Brycen Tremayne is in line to see an expanded role on offense for as long as Horn is out of the game.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Carted to locker room
Eskridge sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the Falcons and is questionable to return, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The injury was severe enough for Eskridge to be carted to the locker room, which has him on the doubtful side of returning to Sunday's game. His absence means Ollie Gordon could join Malik Washington on kick returns, and Cedrick Wilson will step into a more prominent role in the offense.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Surgery set for upcoming week
Nabers is scheduled to undergo surgery later this upcoming week to repair the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Though Nabers sustained the non-contact injury during a Sept. 28 win over the Chargers in Week 4, he needed one month to let the swelling in his knee subside and complete a rehab program before heading in for surgery. Assuming Nabers' upcoming procedure goes as planned, he's expected to be back to full strength for the start of the 2026 season. Before suffering the knee injury, the 22-year-old wideout played only a handful of snaps with rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart, who made his first NFL start Week 4 in place of the struggling Russell Wilson after the latter directed the offense for the first three games of the season.

Tahj Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tahj Washington: Healthy scratch
Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Washington has only played three snaps this season, coming in the Dolphins' Week 5 loss to the Panthers. The team's active wide reciever room for Week 8 consists of Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Cedrick Wilson and Dee Eskridge.

Darius Cooper WR | PHI
Eagles' Darius Cooper: Officially cleared to play Wek 8
Cooper (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Cooper was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the undrafted rookie has been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury he sustained against the Rams in Week 3. Cooper saw the field on both special teams and in a rotational role on offense prior to his injury, but he could see more snaps at wide receiver in Week 8 due to the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring).

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Healthy scratch again
Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Darin Gantt of the Panther's official site reports.
Renfrow will be a healthy scratch for a second-straight week, which coincides with the return of Jalen Coker from injured reserve. Coker will join Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Jimmy Horn and Brycen Tremayne as Carolina's active wide receivers for Sunday's home game against Buffalo. Renfrow's next opportunity to play will be Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Inactive for Week 8
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Walker wasn't able to suit up for the Raven's last contest versus the Rams during Week 6 due to an oblique injury but is now clear of any injury designation. This season Walker has secured three targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores coming against the Browns. The wide receiver will have to wait till Week 9 to keep building his case as a reliable depth option for the team.

Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG
Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Healthy scratch for Week 8
Hyatt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Hyatt didn't log a single snap through the first two weeks of the season, and then, despite getting into the wideout rotation, he didn't record a single target in Weeks 3 and 4. From Weeks 5-7, Hyatt received nine targets, but he hauled in only three, which all came during the Giants' Week 6 upset win over the Eagles on Thursday Night Football. With Hyatt unavailable, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski are candidates for snaps behind Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Surprise inactive Sunday
London (hip) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Dolphins, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Despite showing up as limited on Friday's practice report due to a hip issue, London initially wasn't tagged with a designation for Sunday's game, but the Falcons then changed his status to questionable Saturday, per Terrin Waack of the team's official site. With London's lack of availability now confirmed for Week 8 action, Atlanta's options at wide receiver will be Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Casey Washington, KhaDarel Hodge, Jamal Agnew and Dylan Drummond.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Expected to be available Sunday
Golden (hip) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Golden was added to the Packers' injury report Friday after being a limited participant in the team's final practice of the week. While the wideout is trending toward active status, fantasy managers will still want to confirm that Golden is available once Green Bay's inactive list is posted 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, Rapoport relays that wideout Christian Watson (knee), who was activated from the PUP list Saturday, is also on track to play Sunday.
