Thomas failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.

Getting the ball to Parker Washington was once again was the primary focus for Trevor Lawrence, as the fourth-year wideout popped for a 6-124-2 line on nine targets, and Thomas didn't do anything with the little volume he got to prove he should be a bigger part of the game plan. Thomas has gotten three targets ore fewer in four of five games to begin the season, leading to a meager 9-105-1 line on 18 targets, and there's little reason to expect a breakout in Week 6 against the Texans.

Skowronek (leg) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Skowronek exited the game with a leg injury after a punt return and was ruled questionable to return. After further evaluation, it has been determined that the wide receiver will not return to Sunday's contest, leaving Brandon Smith as the No. 4 option.

McConkey (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' officials site reports.

Following an aggravation of a foot injury last Sunday at Seattle, McConkey was held out of drills during Week 5 prep but still entered the weekend listed as questionable to suit up. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Sunday morning that McConkey wasn't slated to play, and while the wide receiver actually is in uniform, he isn't expected to have a significant role, per Schefter. If that comes to pass, Tre' Harris likely will serve as the No. 1 WR for QB Justin Herbert, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease are the other players available at the position aside from McConkey.

The Steelers ruled out Wilson (finger) for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

With Pittsburgh moving Michael Pittman (foot) to injured reserve Saturday, Wilson appeared headed for a larger role in the receiving corps. Unfortunately for the third-year wideout out of Michigan, he was unable to capitalize in Week 5, as he failed to haul in his lone target before exiting the game late in the second quarter. With Ben Skowronek (leg) also ruled out for the second half, the Steelers will be left with DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen and Brandon Smith as their available options at receiver.

Washington caught six of nine targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.

The fourth-year wideout accounted for both of the Jaguars' TDs on the day, breaking free for a 51-yard score in the first quarter and then beating blanket coverage from Riq Woolen for a spectacular one-handed grab in the fourth quarter from 27 yards out. Washington was apparently just scratching the surface of his potential in 2025, and through five games this season he's posted a 22-352-4 line on 35 targets as Trevor Lawrence's top downfield option. Washington will look to keep rolling in Week 6 against a Texans defense that has unexpectedly struggled so far in 2026.

The Packers ruled out Moore (ankle) for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Moore hauled in his lone target for no gain before exiting the contest early in the second quarter. With Moore done for the rest of the afternoon, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant are expected to serve as the Packers' primary kickoff returners, while Matthew Golden will likely take over on punt returns. The Packers will also rely on Melton and Sturdivant to fill in for Moore at the No. 3 receiver spot.

Wilson was favoring his hand or wrist as he went to the locker room just before halftime of Sunday's game against the Colts, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

On a play that initially was an 11-yard catch on the field but overturned following review, Wilson appeared to suffer the injury. Its nature isn't known, but Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen and Brandon Smith could be in line for WR reps after halftime behind DK Metcalf if Wilson isn't able to return.

Skowronek (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Jake Arthur of Roundtable.io reports.

Skowronek was injured during a Steelers punt and is now in danger of missing the remainder of the Week 5 meeting with Indianapolis. The 29-year-old logged only eight offensive snaps in the Week 4 loss to the Browns, though his departure from the contest, even if it's brief, will be felt on special teams.

Moore is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to an ankle injury.

Moore headed to the locker room in the second quarter to receive further evaluation on his ankle injury. Before departing, Moore reeled in his lone target for no gain. If Moore is unable to check back into the game, the Packers will rely on Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant to handle the No. 3 receiver role, while Matthew Golden will likely fill in for Moore on punt returns.

Concepcion (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game at the Jets.

Concepcion took a hit from Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick early during Week 5 action and hit his head on the turf, after which the rookie wide receiver went directly to the locker room before the Browns made a ruling on his status. In Concepcion's absence, Denzel Boston will handle WR1 duties, with Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond and Malachi Corley filling in behind him.
