Kennedy (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Kennedy suffered a knee injury on a punt return early in the second quarter, and almost every Lion was down on one knee as the medical staff tended to him, per Richard Silva of The Detroit News. The wide receiver seems unlikely to be available for the rest of the contest, and in his absence, Amon-Ra St. Brown has taken over as Detroit's primary punt returner.

Chase brought in six of 10 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Chase was ultimately able to clear concussion protocol just before Sunday's game after exiting the Week 4 loss to the Jaguars with the head injury, and he finished as the Bengals' leader in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets against Miami. The star receiver capped off his productive day with a stellar one-handed, contested 45-yard touchdown grab in the waning moments of the third quarter. Chase is up to a 27-289-4 receiving line on the season despite having missed more than a half against Jacksonville, and he'll next tangle with the division-rival Ravens' veteran secondary in a Week 7 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Golden secured six of seven targets for 123 yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 27 yards.

As good as Golden's afternoon was, he was actually slightly outshined by fellow wideout Christian Watson, who had 20 more receiving yards on the same number of catches and one additional target. Nevertheless, Golden's afternoon included a new career high in receiving yards, as well as a career-high-tying reception total. The second-year speedster is already well on his way to a breakout campaign, and Golden now has at least seven targets in four of his first five games of the campaign. The 2025 first-round pick will take a 24-397-2 line on 44 targets into a favorable Week 6 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday night.

Wilson caught seven of 11 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns.

Wilson opened the scoring with a 32-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. That was his third touchdown grab through five games, and Wilson has exceeded 100 receiving yards twice while working as the top receiver for the Jets. No teammate topped 26 receiving yards as wide receivers Adonai Mitchell (finger) and Omar Cooper (ankle), as well as running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) were inactive, while tight end Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) exited in the second half. Up next for Wilson and the 2-3 Jets is a trip to New England to face the Patriots in Week 6.

Conception has entered the NFL's concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reported Sunday.

Conception sustained a concussion in the Browns' 17-12 loss to the Jets on Sunday. The wide receiver must now clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to return to full contact. Conception caught his sole target for five yards before exiting Sunday's win early.

Watson brought in six of eight targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Watson tied for the team lead in receptions with Matthew Golden while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. Golden struck for the first of his two touchdowns with a 42-yard grab that capped off Green Bay's 10-play opening drive. The veteran field-stretcher then added a 53-yard touchdown reception to put a stamp on the Packers' first drive of the second half, and Watson ultimately finished just five yards short of eclipsing the season-high 147 he mustered in Week 1 against the Vikings. Watson will take a 26-474-6 line into a Week 6 home showdown against the Cowboys next Sunday night.

Olave secured four of six targets for 46 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Olave found himself in the familiar position of either tying for the team lead or setting the pace for the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but the numbers he generated in each of those categories left plenty to be desired. Olave's substandard production should be taken in context, however, considering Tyler Shough threw for only 96 yards at 3.8 yards per attempt and was picked off twice as well. Olave's numbers were easily season lows across the board, but he should have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

The Cardinals agreed to trade Harrison and a seventh-round pick to the Texans for second- and sixth-round selections, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Since Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Arizona had agreed to deal Harrison to an undisclosed team, Houston had been bandied about in the rumor mill as the organization in question. Now, the move to the AFC South has been confirmed. With his new team, Harrison may need some time to acclimate himself to a new scheme and QB C.J. Stroud, but the fourth overall pick in the 2024 is a decent gamble for a Texans team in search of a consistent second WR option behind No. 1 Nico Collins.

Jefferson (ankle) brought in six of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-11 yards in the Vikings' 23-13 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that remained with Minnesota.

Making his return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, Jefferson capitalized on an opportunity to perform in front of his home-state crowd. The perennial Pro Bowler was expected to be busy due to Jordan Addison's (hamstring) inactive status, and Jefferson ultimately led the Vikings across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran receiver added his first touchdown since Week 1 when he recorded an impressive 15-yard scoring grab in the back corner of the end zone to cap off the first possession of the second half, and Jefferson will next set his sights on a vulnerable Colts defense in a Week 7 home matchup on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Meeks (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.

Meeks appeared in the Lions' first four games of the 2026 campaign but will be a healthy scratch in Week 5. The 23-year-old hasn't had a productive season, catching his only target for eight yards.
