X-rays on Brown's ankle came back negative, but he had a walking boot on his left foot after Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

While Brown didn't break any bones, the boot suggests he may have suffered ligament damage. A high ankle sprain could mean a 4-to-6-week absence for Brown, who caught five of nine targets for 68 yards before getting hurt. Even recovering from a milder low ankle sprain would be an uphill battle before Thursday's Week 7 clash with the Saints, but at least Arizona's expected to get fellow wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension for that one.

Moore caught three of seven targets for only seven yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

No Carolina skill player other than Christian McCaffrey made much of an impact, as the team was beset by further quarterback issues when P.J. Walker (neck) had to be replaced by Jacob Eason. With the team now 1-5 and seemingly in full tank mode, Moore's best chance of turning around his season might need to come via a trade. If not, the fifth-year wideout will head toward a Week 7 clash with the Buccaneers not sure whether Eason, Walker or Baker Mayfield (ankle) will be the one throwing him the ball.

Robinson recorded three receptions on four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Ravens.

Robinson returned from a four-game absence caused by a knee injury and immediately stepped into a significant role. He finished tied for second on the team with four targets and was two yards shy of leading the team. Robinson had a few highlights in his performance, including a 17-yard catch and five-yard touchdown reception -- the first of his career. He should maintain his status amongst the Giants' receiving corps, particularly if Kadarius Toney (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Smith caught all three of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.

Smith benefited from the absence of three of the Saints' top wideouts Sunday, resulting in his first touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old got the start alongside Marquez Callaway, who finished with three catches (seven targets) for 36 yards. The collective statuses of Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) will likely be in question heading into a matchup against Arizona on Thursday Night Football, which could result in another start for Smith in Week 7.

Brown needed help to get to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

Weinfuss' ESPN colleague Field Yates reports that Brown couldn't put any weight on his ankle after being rolled up on. Brown had five catches for 68 yards prior to being injured. With a short week ahead of him before Thursday's game against the Saints, Brown could miss at least one additional game.

Cooper recorded four receptions on 12 targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-15 loss to the Patriots.

Cooper benefitted from game script, as he matched his season high with 12 targets -- seven of which came in the second half as the Browns tried to play catch-up. He averaged only 3.7 yards per target but salvaged his day with a 15-yard touchdown halfway through the fourth quarter. Though Cooper's production has been inconsistent, his role in the Browns' offense is clear, as he has double-digit targets in four of six games on the campaign.

Campbell secured seven of 11 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 34-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Campbell came out of nowhere to generate season-best reception, yardage and target totals. He also was on the receiving end of one of Matt Ryan's trio of touchdown tosses, recording a four-yard scoring grab late in the second quarter for his first visit to the end zone since Week 6 of last season. Campbell's first opportunity to build on the strong all-around effort comes in a Week 7 road matchup against the Titans.

Anderson was sent off the field by coach Steve Wilks during Sunday's game against the Rams, Anthony Rizzuti of USA Today reports.

The report indicates that the wideout -- who wasn't targeted Sunday -- had openly exhibited his frustrations during the contest prior to being sent to the locker room by Wilks. Per David Newton of ESPN, there was already speculation that Anderson was a player the Panthers might consider trading and given Sunday's events, it remains to be seen what his status will be ahead of next weekend's game against the Buccaneers. Anderson spoke to the media after the game and said his frustration stemmed from being subbed out on third downs, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

Pierce brought in three of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 34-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Pierce was putting together a relatively quiet encore to his career-best 8-81 line against the Broncos in Week 5, but he delivered at the most critical time via a 32-yard scoring grab with only 17 seconds remaining that turned out to be the game-winning touchdown. Pierce appears to be getting increasingly comfortable the more he plays with Matt Ryan, and he'll aim to continue building that chemistry in a Week 7 AFC South road matchup against the Titans.

Lamb (hip) is active for Sunday's contest at Philadelphia.

After sitting out Friday's practice due to a previously unknown hip issue, Lamb was termed questionable for Week 6 action. Still, there was an expectation that he'd play, which was supported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Sunday morning. With his status now confirmed, Lamb again will be the focus of the Cowboys' passing game, but he'll be on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush instead of Dak Prescott (thumb), the latter of whom may be able to return Week 7 against the Lions. While working with Rush over the last four outings, Lamb has put together a cumulative 26-312-2 line on 39 targets.
