Mingo (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Mingo left Sunday's loss in Seattle with a concussion, and the rookie wide receiver will need to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have a chance to suit up against the Vikings in Week 4. Veterans Adam Thielen and DJ Chark already occupy the top two spots on Carolina's wide receiver depth chart, but more opportunities could be available for Terrace Marshall and Laviska Shenault against the Vikings if Mingo ends up being inactive for the contest.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Jones (knee) is day-to-day, but acknowledged that the wideout looks like "a long shot" to play Sunday against the Falcons, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Pederson didn't specify whether Jones -- who didn't practice last week -- will be able to get some on-field work in ahead of Sunday's contest in London, but at this stage, the wideout is trending toward missing his second straight game. If that ends up being the case, Jamal Agnew and Tim Jones would continue to see added snaps this weekend behind top wideouts Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Harty secured two of his three targets for 15 yards and carried the ball two times for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Commanders.

Harty added 27 yards on punt returns in the contest. The veteran wideout played 13 offensive snaps Sunday, the fewest of any Bills wide receiver. In his limited opportunities, Harty was unable to have much of an impact on the game from a production standpoint. As a member of a crowded group of pass catchers in Buffalo, the 27-year-old remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Harty will look to be more involved on offense when the Bills host the Dolphins in Week 3.

Sherfield caught two of his three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Commanders.

Sherfield saw his first targets as a member of the Bills on Sunday, but he was unable to make much happen with his opportunities. The veteran's offensive snap share has increased each week, as he was on the field for 46 percent of snaps in Week 3. Over the first two weeks, Sherfield saw snap shares of 16 percent and 39 percent. His increased usage is promising, but his overall lack of involvement in the passing game leaves much to be desired. The 27-year-old receiver will likely continue to compete with Deonte Harty and Khalil Shakir for targets behind many of the Bills' talented skill position players with more established roles, like Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, James Cook, Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid. Sherfield will look to take a step forward in a Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins, his former team.

Johnson caught two of his three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 70-20 loss to the Dolphins.

Johnson played 60 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Denver's No. 3 wideout. Meanwhile, rookie Marvin Mims continued to play behind Johnson, logging just a 24 percent snap share. Unfortunately, the veteran was unable to produce much for fantasy purposes despite being in a pass-heavy game script for most of the contest. Going forward, it's reasonable to think that Johnson could fall behind Mims on the depth chart if the first-year receiver continues to make big plays on an offense that desperately needs a spark. Nonetheless, the 25-year-old will look to keep a hold of his spot on the depth chart in a favorable matchup in Week 3, as the Broncos visit the Bears and their struggling defense.

Trammell has moved back to the practice squad after playing in Monday's game against the Bengals.

The wide receiver played five snaps on special teams and did not record a stat. Trammell played in Week 2 against the 49ers and saw one snap on offense.

Allen reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday.

Allen was elevated ahead of the team's 25-11 win over the Buccaneers on Monday, returning one punt for 17 yards while playing 11 special-teams snaps. The wide receiver could be added to the active roster again in Week 4 versus the Commanders if Quez Watkins (hamstring) is unavailable again.

Cota (undisclosed) is healthy again and signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Oregon product signed with the Lions in April but was waived with an injury settlement Aug. 30. Cota played in 10 games for the Ducks in 2022 and caught 36 passes for 497 yards and three touchdowns.

Thompkins brought in two of four targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

Across 10 snaps, Thompkins notably garnered more of Baker Mayfield's attention than did fellow complementary wideout Trey Palmer in 34 plays from scrimmage. The second-year speedster's playing time was his lowest of the first three games, and his production and snaps are likely to both remain volatile unless multiple injuries strike in front of him on the receiving corps.

Carolina signed Landers to its practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Just a week after being cut from Seattle's practice squad, Landers has found another chance with a new team. The undrafted rookie boasts impressive athleticism, but he hasn't gotten a chance to show it on the field yet.
