Lamb is believed to be dealing with a "quad bruise" that is "not considered to be serious," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Lamb was deemed questionable to return to Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers after -- per the Cowboys' official website -- taking a "hit on the same quad that got hit last week," and although he briefly got back out there he was not on the field for his team's final drive. Lamb does not appear to be facing an extended absence and will have extra time to rest and recover before the Cowboys face the Packers in Week 6, but it could be a few days until the next update on his status arrives.

Flournoy brought in three of four targets for 90 yards in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Finished tied for distant runner-up slotting in receptions, but he was also a comfortable second in receiving yards thanks in large part to a team-high 48-yard catch. Flournoy's yardage tally was also his highest since Week 14 of last season, and it was first above 37 receiving yards in the current campaign. Despite the breakout Thursday, Flournoy remains a volatile week-to-week option unless CeeDee Lamb (quadriceps) or George Pickens are unavailable.

Godwin secured all three targets for 37 yards and rushed once for three yards in the Buccaneers' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Godwin continued to fill a complementary role in the air attack on a night when Jalon Daniels threw for a modest 189 yards. The veteran wideout has been confined to a short-area role for the most part whether it's been Baker Mayfield (thumb) or Daniels under center, as Godwin has just a 19-179-0 line on the season and two receptions of 20-plus yards heading into a Week 6 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Egbuka secured six of nine targets for 38 yards and rushed once for a 14-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Egbuka comfortably led the Buccaneers in receptions and targets, but his receiving yardage figure was a distant second to Tez Johnson. Egbuka did round out his fantasy night nicely with the first rushing touchdown of his career, which came on a jet sweep from 14 yards out to cap off the first drive of the second half. The increase in chemistry between Egbuka and Jalon Daniels in the latter's second start was encouraging from a fantasy perspective, and they'll have additional time to continue building rapport before a Week 6 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Pickens secured nine of 13 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Pickens was a bit player in the air attack during a Week 4 comeback win against the Texans during which CeeDee Lamb (quadriceps) recorded a massive 17-189-1 line on 21 targets, but it was the former's turn to shine Thursday. The fact Lamb was in and out of the game during the latter stages of the fourth quarter did have some impact on Pickens' involvement, but the latter was already having a big night that included his first receiving touchdown of the season on an 18-yard grab in the fourth quarter. Pickens ultimately finished with new season-high figures across his receiving line, and he'll be in line for a similarly busy night in a Week 6 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday night, Oct. 18 if Lamb is limited or misses that contest altogether.

Lamb (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Thursday night's game against Tampa Bay, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Lamb was standing on the sideline with his helmet on in the fourth quarter, suggesting the injury isn't serious, but he watched as the offense marched down the field and put it in the end zone. Ryan Flournoy, Jonathan Mingo and KaVontae Turpin will soak up additional snaps at wideout, while George Pickens handles clear WR1 duties with Lamb sidelined. Prior to his injury, Lamb caught two of five targets for nine yards.

The 49ers cut Pettis (calf) from their practice squad with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pettis spent training camp with Buffalo but didn't make the 53-man roster. He joined San Francisco as part of the practice squad in late September and then suffered a calf injury. Now that he's reached an injury settlement with the club, Pettis will be free to seek work elsewhere once healthy.

Mumpfield (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Mumpfield suffered a bruised shoulder in last Sunday's win over the Eagles but is fine ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Bills. With Puka Nacua back healthy alongside Davante Adams, Mumpfield has very minimal fantasy appeal.

Thompson (quadriceps) did not participate at the Chargers' practice Thursday.

Thompson returned to practice Wednesday for the first time in multiple weeks, logging a limited session. The wide receiver has now taken a step back in his participation, failing to practice Thursday. Thompson expressed some doubt about his availability for Week 5 when he spoke with the media Wednesday, and he appears to be in danger of missing another contest while recovering from a quadriceps injury.

Moore (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday.

Moore made an early departure this past Sunday against the Patriots in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and wasn't able to return. While the issue isn't considered to be long term and head coach Joe Brady didn't rule Moore out for Monday's game at the Rams as of Thursday, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, the wide receiver kicked off the week with no on-field work. Moore will have two more chances to prove his health before the Bills potentially make a ruling on his status once they post Saturday's injury report.
