Callaway caught three of seven targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 30-26 defeat against the Bengals.

Callaway paced the Saints' wide receiver corps in targets and offensive snaps with starters Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) all out due to injury Sunday. However, the 24-year-old still finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Tre'Quan Smith (43 yards) and tight end Juwan Johnson (41 yards). With primary returner Deonte Harty (foot) on IR, Callaway also fair caught one punt while splitting those duties with undrafted rookie Rashid Shaheed. Callaway now has played at least 72 percent of New Orleans' offensive snaps in each of the last three games, recording eight receptions (on 16 targets) for 94 yards during this span. He again figures to see increased playing time if Thomas and/or Landry remain sidelined Thursday against the Cardinals.

Wims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Wims was promoted to the active roster for the first time this season during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks. However, 28-year-old was never targeted while playing five of Arizona's 71 offensive snaps. Wims will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Cardinals' practice squad this season.

Humphrey reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.

Humphrey was waived by New England on Tuesday before re-signing with the team's practice squad Thursday. The 24-year was then activated to the active roster with wide receiver Nelson Agholor (hamstring) sidelined for Week 6. Humphrey ultimately did not record a statistic while playing just one special-teams snap during the 38-15 win over the Browns, and he'll now be eligible for two more elevations from the Patriots' practice squad this season.

Baker was waived by the Seahawks following the end of his six-game suspension Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Baker finished serving a six-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy, though he'll now have to make his 2022 debut elsewhere. The second-year wideout played 27 special-teams snaps in two games while bouncing back and forth between the Saints' active roster and practice squad last season. Baker will likely look to land a practice-squad contract with a new team where he can serve as a game-day activation.

Proehl (knee) was activated from the reserve/PUP list Monday.

Proehl was forced to sit out the first four weeks of the season after being placed on the reserve/PUP list in August. The undrafted wideout was then designated to return Oct. 5, and he will now be eligible to make his NFL debut starting with Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Proehl missed the entirety of his rookie campaign after tearing his ACL in training camp last year, and he should slot in near the bottom of Minnesota's depth chart alongside wideouts Jalen Nailor and Jalen Reagor.

Marshall didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

Marshall played 45 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps but failed to find the stat sheet. Although he's hardly featured to begin his second season, the 2021 second-round pick could see his opportunities increase following Monday's trade of fellow wideout Robbie Anderson. With P.J. Walker (neck) being injured Sunday, however, it's unclear who will be under center for Week 7's game versus the Buccaneers.

Brown was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, and coach Kliff Kingsbury deemed the wide receiver "out indefinitely" due to the left foot injury that he sustained Sunday in Seattle, Kevin Parrish of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown departed Arizona's Week 6 loss in the second half and was wearing a boot on his left foot after the game. While initial X-rays came back negative, he's getting a second opinion to determine the severity of the injury and also a timeline for his return to action, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. In the end, Brown is slated for a multi-week absence at the very least, which may have spurred the Cardinals' trade for Robbie Anderson on Monday. While Anderson may not immediately make an impact in the team's receiving corps, DeAndre Hopkins is back from a six-game suspension, and Rondale Moore, A.J. Green and Greg Dortch also are on hand to man the position for Thursday's matchup with the Saints.

Smith didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

Smith posted a goose egg while seeing the Panthers lose their fourth quarterback of the season to injury, as P.J. Walker exited with a neck issue. While it remains unclear who will be under center for Week 7's matchup versus the Buccaneers, leaving a considerable question mark over an already underwhelming passing game, Monday's trade of fellow wideout Robbie Anderson could increase Smith's amount of opportunities going forward.

Watkins pulled in his lone target in Sunday's win against the Cowboys, gaining zero yards.

Watkins continues to see the field frequently, with his 42 offensive snaps marking the fifth time he's seen the field at least 40 times through the first six weeks. That playing time isn't being converted into production, however, as he had nearly as minimal an impact as possible on Sunday's box score. He continues to average one catch per game on the year.

Allen (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Broncos.

Allen thus will set his sights on a possible return to action Week 7 versus the Seahawks. In his continued absence, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter once again are in line to see added wideout opportunities alongside Mike Williams, who led the team with 10 catches and 13 targets in the Chargers' Week 5 win over the Browns.
