Snead caught his only target for 15 yards in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Chargers.

Snead not only picked up a first down on his lone reception, but he also drew an unnecessary roughness penalty that advanced the Raiders another 15 yards. The hit to Snead's helmet forced him into the blue medical tent briefly, but he should be fine ahead of the Raiders' Week 5 contest against the Bears.

Edwards caught one of four targets for four yards in Monday's 28-14 loss to the Chargers.

Edwards once again led all Raiders wide receivers in offensive snaps with 51, but he averaged just one yard per target after hauling in five total passes of 20-plus yards in Weeks 1-3. The Chargers defense also managed to funnel 13 targets in the directions of Hunter Renfrow and Josh Jacobs, who combined for just 62 receiving yards on 11 catches. Edwards will look to bounce back against the Bears in Week 5.

Grant is being traded to the Bears on Tuesday in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Grant found himself on the outside of Miami's regular offensive rotation this season, in large part due to the arrival of new starters Will Fuller (finger) and Jaylen Waddle, but in Chicago he could see more work. The Bears are in need of more consistent contributions behind Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney, and Grant could offer Damiere Byrd and Marquise Goodwin real competition for the No. 3 role. The 28-year-old is also a quality option in the return game.

Thompson reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Thompson was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's win over the 49ers, in which he played three offensive snaps and one snap on special teams. He did not record any official stats, however.

White reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.

White played two snaps on offense and one snap on special teams during Sunday's loss to the Packers. He didn't record any official stats.

Ward caught one of two targets for a 15-yard touchdown in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

Ward once again saw most of his action with the game already decided, as his touchdown was the last offensive play of the game for either side. His other target came in the first half, but the Houston product still saw just 21 snaps in this one and remains buried on the depth chart.

Watkins caught three of his seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

The 2020 sixth-round pick doubled his target total for the season in the game, although he didn't have much to show for it at the end of the day. Still, he played 43 snaps (58 percent), just nine fewer than Jalen Reagor, who was pretty much invisible the whole contest. Through four games, Watkins has outproduced the Eagles' first-rounder from the same draft class as him, with Watkins delivering a 10-219 line compared to Reagor's 14-116.

Reagor caught his lone target for nine yards and also rushed once for 12 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

The TCU product got his carry in the first quarter and then wasn't heard from again until the Eagles' last drive of the game. Meanwhile, Quez Watkins got seven targets and even Greg Ward got two. Reagor played 52 snaps though, which was nine more than Watkins and 30 more than Ward. With so many options in the Philadelphia passing game, it will be difficult for Reagor to produce consistent numbers.

Johnson failed to come up with either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 19-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday night. He also returned one kickoff for 10 yards.

A week after producing an encouraging 3-63 line against the Rams in a Week 3 loss, Johnson came up empty even with Scotty Miller (toe) on injured reserve. Antonio Brown's return from a one-game absence due to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list and bad weather helped play a part in Johnson's downturn. His role seems unlikely to increase versus the Dolphins in Week 5.

Renfrow caught six of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 28-14 loss to the Chargers.

Renfrow did his usual work on crisp routes underneath, with his touchdown coming on a 10-yard reception to begin the third quarter. That play gave Renfrow a score in consecutive contests, and the 25-year-old has now hauled in at least five passes in every game this season. Despite the presence of Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller and lightning-quick deep threat Henry Ruggs, Renfrow remains a security blanket for Derek Carr, consistently helping the Raiders move the sticks.
