Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Day-to-day with sore ribs
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Wilson is day-to-day with sore ribs after exiting Sunday's 42-38 win over the Ravens, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Fortunately for Wilson, medical imaging cleared him of any structural damage to his ribs, but his availability for the Dolphins' Week 3 contest with the Bills is up in the air for the time being. Prior to departing Sunday's game, Wilson played 21 snaps on offense and couldn't bring in his lone target of the day.

Britain Covey WR | PHI
Eagles' Britain Covey: Moved up to active roster
Covey was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Vikings.
Covey will get the move up from Philadelphia's practice squad for the second straight week after recording 13 punt-return yards over his four special-teams snaps in Week 1. The rookie out of Utah did not line up for a single offensive play last week, but he figures to once again serve as one of the Eagles' top return specialists alongside Quez Watkins against Minnesota.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Could play Week 3
Colts head coach Frank Reich said Monday that Pittman has "made some good progress" in his recovery from a quadriceps injury over the weekend and could be available for the team's Week 3 matchup with the Chiefs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Initially listed as questionable heading into the Colts' eventual 24-0 loss to the Jaguars this past Sunday, Pittman was downgraded to out a day in advance of the contest. Reich expressed optimism that Pittman's absence was a "one-game thing," but the wideout's status for the upcoming week won't be known for certain until the Colts get a chance to assess his condition in practice. The Colts will return to the field Wednesday for their first Week 3 session.

Jaelon Darden WR | SEA
Buccaneers' Jaelon Darden: Limited to punt returns Sunday
Darden logged eight snaps from scrimmage without drawing a target in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Saints, but he did return two punts for 17 yards.
Darden couldn't make a mark on offense despite the Buccaneers being without Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), but he did flash on punt returns for the second straight game. All of Darden's yardage in that capacity came on one of his two special-teams touches, and he's now averaging 9.0 yards per return on five runbacks through the first pair of contests. With Mike Evans having been handed a one-game suspension for his role in a multi-player brawl Sunday and both Godwin and Jones uncertain to be available Week 3, there may be an opportunity for Darden to see his first targets of the season in Sunday's home opener against the Packers.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Considered day-to-day
Jeudy (ribs) is considered day-to-day after X-rays returned negative, and he hasn't been ruled out from playing Sunday versus the 49ers, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Jeudy was forced out of action due to a rib injury in the first quarter of the Broncos' 16-9 win over the Texans in Week 2, but his status for Week 3 hasn't yet been determined. If Jeudy can avoid any setbacks and showcase his health in practice, it sounds like he could retake the field versus San Francisco on Sunday night.

Tutu Atwell WR | LAR
Rams' Tutu Atwell: Two snaps in Week 2
Atwell logged two snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-27 victory against the Falcons.
Atwell has seemingly fallen behind Brandon Powell on the depth chart, and the speedy second-year wideout wasn't targeted on either of his two snaps on offense. With Van Jefferson (knee) likely to return to action soon, Atwell has an uphill battle ahead for playing time, barring injuries in front of him.

Michael Gallup WR | WAS
Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Could return Week 3
Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that it's "certainly possible" Gallup (knee) could play Week 3 versus the Giants, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Gallup has resumed practicing in a limited capacity and could have a real shot at making his season debut versus the Giants on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys will roll with Cooper Rush through at least Week 4, so it would be a notable boon for the passing game to get Gallup back in action. It's possible that Dallas wants to see Gallup resume practicing as a full participant before clearing him for a return to game action.
-
Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Minor offensive role
Agnew had two carries for one yard, failed to catch his lone target and returned two punts for seven yards during Sunday's 24-0 win against the Colts.
Agnew played only seven offensive snaps and once again served as a gadget player in addition to his return duties. The 27-year-old is likely to remain in the same role while the rest of the receiving corps is healthy.
-
Brandon Powell WR | MIN
Rams' Brandon Powell: Takes intentional safety
Powell caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 31-27 win against the Falcons. He also returned two kicks for 14 yards and rushed once for minus-26 yards.
The glaring negative rushing yardage came late in the game, as the Rams elected to take an intentional safety on fourth down with just 13 seconds remaining, rather than punt, and trusted Powell as the man to handle the job. Other than the safety, Powell was only on the field for five other offensive snaps and seems relegated to kick-return duty with Van Jefferson (knee) likely to return soon.
-
Zay Jones WR | HOU
Jaguars' Zay Jones: Lesser role in Week 2
Jones caught three of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.
The 27-year-old played similar snaps to Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones in the season opener but was the clear No. 3 wideout Sunday with Jacksonville leading by multiple scores for most of the game. Jones has caught nine of 13 targets for 88 yards through two games, and the game script could be more favorable Week 3 against the Chargers.
