Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Brooks has only appeared in two contests thus far during his rookie campaign. He'll continue working to earn an active role with the team and suit up Week 10 against the Giants.

Downs (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

After practicing fully Wednesday, Downs was added to the injury report Thursday due to a knee issue and finished the week with back-to back limited sessions. With his Week 9 availability confirmed, in the absence of any in-game setbacks or limitations, Downs -- who has 40 catches in eight games to date -- will look to maintain the momentum he's built over his last four outings. In that span, he's recorded 23 catches on 29 targets for 315 yards and two TDs, while working in tandem with top WR Michael Pittman, who leads the Colts with 50 catches.

Chark (elbow) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Chark got back on the field Thursday and Friday in a limited fashion but wore a red non-contact jersey on both occasions. He was listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Chark was expected to suit up Sunday, the wide receiver is doing just that. Chark thus will look to produce versus an Indianapolis defense that has surrendered the seventh-most yards per target (8.7) to opposing WRs this season.

Hollins is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings after suffering an ankle injury in the first half, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Though the receivers typically aren't frequently involved in Atlanta's run-centric offense, the position group would be significantly compromised nonetheless if Hollins isn't able to check back into the game, as No. 1 wideout Drake London (groin) is inactive this week. Hollins recorded three receptions for 36 yards on three targets before leaving the contest to get his ankle checked out.

Osborn sustained a concussion during Sunday's game in Atlanta and won't return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

After taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter, Osborn stayed down on the turf for a spell as he was tended to by the Vikings' medical staff. He eventually was able to get to his feet and then was escorted to the locker room on a cart. With Justin Jefferson (hamstring) on injured reserve and Jalen Nailor (hamstring) inactive, Minnesota's healthy and available wide receivers are Jordan Addison, Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson and N'Keal Harry.

Osborn departed Sunday's game at Atlanta with an apparent head injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Osborn took a wicked helmet-to-helmet hit from Falcons cornerback Dee Alford in the second quarter and remained on the turf for some time. After he was tended to by the Vikings' medical staff, Osborn got to his feet and made his way to the cart. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 9 with two catches (on two targets) for 17 yards.

Rice caught both his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

The receiving yards were his lowest of the season, but the rookie wideout still made an impact by taking a screen pass from Patrick Mahomes for an 11-yard TD in the first quarter. Rice has three of his four touchdowns on the season in the last five games as he emerges as Mahomes' most reliable option not named Travis Kelce, and his target volume could begin to rise coming out of Kansas City's Week 10 bye.

The Chargers reinstated Guyton (knee) from the PUP list Sunday but list him as questionable for Monday's game against the Jets.

Guyton had his 21-day evaluation window opened Oct. 19 and turned in a trio of full practices Thursday through Saturday, so the expectation is that he'll avoid the inactive list and suit up Monday for his season debut now that he's been added back to the 53-man roster. The Chargers placed fellow receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) on injured reserve in a corresponding move, potentially opening the door for Guyton to challenge the likes of Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko for the No. 3 receiver role behind Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston on Monday. Guyton hasn't accounted for heavy target volume at any point over his first four seasons with the Chargers, but he's served as a downfield threat with seven 40-plus-yard catches to his name in 38 career games.

Waddle recorded three catches on six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs.

Waddle suffered a knee injury early in the contest, but he was able to quickly return to the field. That didn't lead to much production, however, as the Miami offense was held back offensively by a strong Kansas City defense. As a result, Waddle's streak of three games with at least 50 receiving yards came to an end.

The Chargers placed Palmer (knee) on injured reserve Sunday.

Palmer had already been ruled out in advance of Monday's game against the Jets, but his move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least three additional contests beyond that. The Chargers brought back another receiver in Jalen Guyton (knee) from the PUP list in a corresponding move, but rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston will be the wideout most likely to benefit from Palmer's absence in terms of getting more snaps and drawing more targets. Palmer will be eligible to return from IR beginning with the Chargers' Week 13 matchup with New England on Dec. 3.
