  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Dealing with cramps

    St. Brown departed Sunday's contest against the Seahawks due to cramping.

    Prior to his exit in the fourth quarter, St. Brown hauled in all six of his targets for 102 yards. Without St. Brown, the Lions' receiving corps is composed of Josh Reynolds, Marvin Jones, Kalif Raymond and Antoine Green.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Suffers knee injury Sunday

    Mooney exited Sunday's game at Tampa Bay due to a knee injury, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Mooney made his way to the sideline after the first play of the Bears' second possession of the second half. If he's unable to return, he'll emerge from Week 2 without a target. Chicago's other active wide receivers Sunday are DJ Moore, Chase Claypool, Tyler Scott, Trent Taylor and Velus Jones.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Inactive as expected Sunday

    Cooks (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Cooks didn't practice at all during Week 2 prep, instead focusing on resistance training as he tended to a slight MCL sprain. While he entered the weekend as questionable, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported early Sunday morning that Cooks wasn't likely to suit up. With Cooks' status now confirmed, the Cowboys' passing game will focus on WR CeeDee Lamb, RB Tony Pollard and TE Jake Ferguson. Behind Lamb, fellow wide receivers Michael Gallup, Jalen Tolbert and even KaVontae Turpin also should experience upticks in snap count.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Jaguars' Zay Jones: Back for second half

    Jones (knee) is on the field for the Jaguars' first possession of the second half of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Jones failed to corral either of his two targets before he exited the game in the first half due to a knee injury. Though he briefly returned to the sideline in the second quarter before retreating to the locker room again, Jones has been given the green light to return to action coming out of halftime.

  • Ravens' Odell Beckham: Out with ankle injury

    Beckham has been ruled out for the second half of Sunday's game against the Bengals with an ankle injury.

    After suffering the ankle injury in the first half, Beckham checked back into the game upon receiving treatment on the sideline, but he didn't appear to be moving around well during his time on the field. The Ravens ultimately elected to pull the plug on Beckham for the day, leaving Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Devin Duvernay and Tylan Wallace as the team's available receivers. Beckham finishes the Week 2 contest with three catches for 29 yards on four targets.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Suits up Sunday

    Nacua (oblique) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    After missing practice Thursday, Nacua returned to a limited session Friday, setting the stage for the ascending young wideout to play Sunday. With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) on IR and out until at least Week 5, Nacua has taken on a prominent role in the Rams' passing offense alongside fellow WRs Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell. In the team's 30-13 win over Seattle in Week 1, Nacua parlayed his 63 snaps into a 10/119-0 receiving line on a team-high 15 targets. With Nacua's active status confirmed, look for the 2023 fifth-rounder to remain a key target for QB Matthew Stafford in the absence of setbacks during Week 2 versus a rugged San Francisco defense that allowed seven points to Pittsburgh last Sunday.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Season debut to wait

    Robinson (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday in Arizona.

    Robinson has opened the current campaign with back-to-back absences, but he encouragingly has been listed as a limited participant on all six injury reports to date after tearing the ACL in his right knee Week 11 of last season. On Friday, he relayed to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that the team is optimistic the second-year pro will be able to suit up Thursday at San Francisco, but Robinson may have to practice in full at least once Monday through Wednesday in order to do so. In the meantime, New York will lean on Isaiah Hodgins, Parris Campbell, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt and Sterling Shepard at wide receiver.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Jaguars' Zay Jones: Hurts knee Sunday

    Jones exited Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a knee injury and is questionable to return, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Before his exit, Jones didn't record a catch on two targets. In his absence, Jamal Agnew and Tim Jones are candidates to log added snaps at receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Returns to Sunday's contest

    Metcalf (ribs) returned to Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Metcalf was forced to exit the contest with a rib injury but was subsequently able to return. Now that he's back in action, Metcalf will resume a key role at WR for Seattle alongside Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Exits game with rib injury

    Metcalf was forced out of Sunday's game against the Lions with a rib injury.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Metcalf caught both of his targets for 34 yards. In his absence, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are in line to lead the Seahawks' Week 2 wideout corps.
