Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins that Evans (hip) is fine, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Evans and Demarcus Robinson (ankle) both exited the lopsided Week 2 win due to injuries. Evans' removal in the fourth quarter appears to have been precautionary, but his practice participation level will still bear monitoring ahead of San Francisco's Week 3 home game against the Cardinals. Prior to exiting the game, Evans caught all three of his targets for 54 yards.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Robinson is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Dolphins, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Robinson was injured in the second quarter and had to be carted to the locker room. He was already replacing De'Zhaun Stribling as the Niners' WR3 after Stribling suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 1 against the Rams that is expected to sideline the rookie receiver for 10 weeks. San Francisco will have to delve deeper into its wideout depth chart, with Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge the only healthy bodies behind Mike Evans (hip) and Deebo Samuel.

Smith caught 10 of 13 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans.

The veteran wideout saw more than twice as many targets as any other Eagle, with Smith's biggest reception coming just before halftime on a 22-yard TD toss from Jalen Hurts. Smith is looking the part of Philly's new WR1 following the offseason departure of A.J. Brown, compiling a 13-170-1 line on 19 targets through two games. He'll look to build on those numbers in a Week 3 road trip to Chicago.

Douglas (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Douglas appears unlikely to re-enter the game since Miami is trailing by a large margin in the fourth quarter. Prior to getting injured, the rookie third-round pick caught two of three targets for 19 yards.

Egbuka brought in three of five targets for 16 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for minus-3 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Egbuka's minimal role was surprising, as he finished third in receptions and targets while slotting in all the way down at fifth in receiving yards for the Bucs on the afternoon. Egbuka's one redeeming play was his five-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter, but otherwise, his quiet performance mirrored the fortunes of his team in the upset loss. Egbuka will look to spearhead a much better offensive effort for Tampa Bay when an aggressive Vikings defense comes to town for a Week 3 clash next Sunday.

Burden caught three of seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

On a wet and windy day at Soldier Field, Burden led all Bears in targets, but that volume didn't result in much production. The second-year wideout has had a slow start to the season, posting an 8-95-0 line on 12 targets through two contests, and his outlook in the short term won't be improved if the hamstring injury that knocked Caleb Williams out of Sunday's contest proves to be serious. Burden could be catching passes from Tyson Bagent instead in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.

Young (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Young exited the second half of Sunday's contest due to a hamstring injury. The wide receiver is the fifth option for the Raiders offense, with sixth option Cody White recording two touchdowns Week 2. It is unclear how significant Young's injury is.

Golden caught four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets.

In addition to leading the team in receiving yards, Golden drew a pivotal 38-yard pass interference penalty to get the Packers out of a first-and-25 hole on a drive that culminated in a Christian Watson touchdown catch to cut the deficit to three points in the fourth quarter. Golden has been out-targeted 19-18 by Watson through two games, and both wide receivers figure to maintain prominent roles in Thursday's Week 3 home game against the Eagles. Fellow Packers wideout Jayden Reed (neck) looks unlikely to suit up for that game after being carted off the field on the opening drive Sunday.

Odunze caught three of four targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

The 2024 first-round pick led all Bears wideouts in receiving yards on a wet and windy day at Soldier Field. Odunze has had a slow start to the season, managing just a 5-95-0 line on seven targets through two games, and his outlook in the short term won't be improved if the hamstring injury that knocked Caleb Williams out of Sunday's contest proves to be serious. Odunze could be catching passes from Tyson Bagent instead in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.

Watson caught four of 11 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets.

Watson and Jordan Love struggled to get on the same page for much of the game but connected for a three-yard touchdown with 7:58 left in regulation as the Packers erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. The 27-year-old wide receiver has scored three touchdowns on a team-high 19 targets through two games ahead of Thursday's home tilt against the Falcons. Watson is likely to see heavy involvement again in Week 3, especially since the Packers will probably be without fellow WR Jayden Reed (neck).
