Chark was forced out of Thursday's preseason matchup with Miami due to a concussion.

Chark sustained the concussion on a kickoff return in the second quarter. It's unclear just how long the 23-year-old will need to recover from the injury. If Chark misses significant time, Keelan Cole and Terrelle Pryor would be next in line to see additional reps.

St. Brown left Thursday's preseason contest against Oakland with an apparent left leg injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

St. Brown caught a slant over the middle and took a big hit up high, but the damage was seemingly done to his left leg, which appeared to get caught in the turf prior to the hit. It's unclear exactly how serious the injury is, but the 22-year-old had to be helped off the field and eventually carted to the tunnel entrance. If St. Brown were to miss significant time, his absence could provide meaningful reps for Trevor Davis or Darrius Shepard.

Adams won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders.

The Packers are playing safe Thursday with a host of their key players, so we'll presume that Adams' next game action will wait until Week 1 of the regular season.

Dorsett (thumb) appears poised to see action in Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

With both Julian Edelman and Demaryius Thomas having been recently activated and Josh Gordon now back with the team, Dorsett is fighting to keep his roster spot, thanks to the emergence of Jakobi Meyers. It would surprise us if Dorsett ends up getting cut, but assuming he sticks, his path to regular targets is muddled by the team's recent infusion of depth at wideout.

Harry (leg) is unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.

Harry also sat out last Saturday's preseason game against the Titans, but the Patriots are evidently of a mind to play it safe with their first-round wideout with an eye toward having him healthy for Week 1 action.

Gage will miss Thursday's preseason contest against Washington with a hip injury, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Gage originally sustained the injury in last week's matchup with the Jets, although head coach Dan Quinn said the 23-year-old avoided any structural damage. It's still seemingly unclear how serious the injury is or how much longer Gage will have to rest, but Justin Hardy and Devin Gray will each likely see more work in the meantime.

Slayton (hamstring) will play in Thursday's preseason contest against Cincinnati, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

The Giants will sit Sterling Shepard (thumb), which will likely leave some work for Russell Shepard and Slayton behind Cody Latimer and Bennie Fowler, although tight end Evan Engram seems set to play Thursday as well. Slayton hasn't appeared in the preseason yet, as he missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury.

Morgan is unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Giants, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Morgan is one of three receivers not playing Thursday, joining John Ross (hamstring) and A.J. Green (ankle). The 22-year-old hauled in both of his targets for 21 yards last week against the Redskins. Morgan has reportedly generated some buzz in training camp after going undrafted out of Nebraska, but whatever momentum he's accumulated will be halted momentarily with him on the sidelines Thursday.

Parker (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jaguars, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

With Parker dealing with an undisclosed injury, he'll sit this one out, with an eye toward being ready for Week 1 action. If healthy, he'll join Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson atop the Dolphins' wideout depth chart heading into the 2019 season.

Johnson said he's day-to-day with an unspecified injury, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

After dealing with a hip injury early in training camp, Johnson made it back for the second week of the preseason, catching three of five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown while playing deep into the fourth quarter. The rookie third-round pick doesn't appear headed for a significant Week 1 role on offense, but he could get chances throughout the year if Donte Moncrief and/or James Washington disappoint. An absence from Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee wouldn't help Johnson's case.
