St. Brown headed to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings due to an apparent injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Immediately after having a 24-yard touchdown reception overturned following a replay review with 4:32 left in the first quarter, St. Brown left the Detroit sideline and headed to the locker room, where he remained for the rest of the drive. Expect the Lions to provide further details on St. Brown's status in short order, but for the time being, he's questionable to return to Sunday's contest.

London (head) returned to Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London hit the sideline to be tested for a possible concussion but has since been cleared to return to the contest. He had no catches (on two targets) at the time of his exit in the middle of the first quarter.

London is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

QB Michael Penix was intercepted on a pass intended for London in the middle of the first quarter, after which the wide receiver hit the sidelines for the concussion check. London was sitting on no catches (on two targets) at the time of his departure.

Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

The rookie sixth-rounder has suited up for each of the first seven games of the regular season, but with Jack Bech (forearm) cleared to play, Benson will be an observer from the sidelines for Sunday's contest. His next opportunity to suit up is Week 9 against the 49ers on Nov. 8.

Jennings elected to remain with the Vikings after the team had an agreement in place to move him to the 49ers earlier in the week in a deal that was contingent on the receiver's approval, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

According to Glazer, Jennings would have returned to San Francisco if he hopped on a FaceTime call with the 49ers brass to confirm his willingness to rejoin his former squad, but the wideout instead elected to stick around in Minnesota. San Francisco has obvious gaps in its receiving corps due to injuries, and Jennings' familiarity with head coach Kyle Shanahan's system would have made him a natural choice to help strengthen the position group. However, Jennings also left on somewhat acrimonious terms due to his contract situation before becoming a free agent, which may have been a factor in his decision not to sign off on the trade. He'll be active for Sunday's game in Detroit but has struggled to carve out much volume in the passing attack thus far, notching just four receptions for 43 yards on eight targets through his first five appearances with Minnesota.

Thornton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Thornton was activated from injured reserve Tuesday after fully recovering from a hamstring injury, but the second-year pro will be a healthy scratch for Week 8. In his absence, the Raiders will turn to Jack Bech, Cody White and Dareke Young to serve as the rotational wide receivers behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor. Thornton's next chance to play is Week 9 against the 49ers on Nov. 8.

Zaccheaus (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Zaccheaus didn't play in the Week 7 meeting with the 49ers due to a shoulder injury. He was limited during practice throughout the week, though it wasn't enough to avoid a questionable designation for Sunday's divisional clash with Tampa Bay. While the wideout was in danger of missing this contest, he will avoid a second consecutive absence. Zaccheaus has only four catches (11 targets) for 17 yards in six regular-season games in 2026. He also holds a role on special teams as a return man.

Skowronek (calf) is inactive against the Browns on Sunday.

Skowronek will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a calf injury, and with the Steelers on a bye for Week 9, his next chance to play is Week 10 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15. Kaden Wetjen, Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson are in line for more snaps on offense in Skowronek's absence.

Johnson is in line to see additional snaps and targets in Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Falcons, as Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) remains sidelined for the contest per Scott Smith of the team's official site.

Johnson found a way to make an impact in Week 7 against the Panthers, Egbuka's first absence, despite the returning Baker Mayfield putting the ball up only 11 times for 64 passing yards. Johnson brought in both targets for 33 yards and a touchdown, and he also gained 14 yards on a rush attempt. In the process, the second-year wideout logged a season-high 41 snaps and outshined rookie Ted Hurst, who logged 35 snaps and failed to reel in his only target. While the depth chart reflects Hurst as ahead of Johnson, the latter may once again be the bigger beneficiary of Egbuka's absence against an Atlanta defense that's allowed the third-most receptions (96) to wide receivers this season.

Tinsley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Tinsley has played in each of the Bengals' last three games and has logged four catches on eight targets for 56 yards over that span. He will observe Sunday's contest from the sidelines, and his next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Falcons on Nov. 8.
