Melton (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, per the CBS Sports broadcast.

Melton briefly left Sunday's game due to cramping, but he was back in the game in the fourth quarter and returned a kickoff for 19 yards. Most of Melton's playing time this year figures to be on special teams as a returner.

Cooper is dealing with an ankle sprain after exiting in the first quarter of Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Cooper was ruled out due to an ankle injury after the opening drive, during which the rookie first-round pick contributed a 30-yard catch. X-rays on the injury came back negative Sunday, but Cooper is set for an MRI on his sprained ankle, which should help clarify his potential return timeline. Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports that Cooper is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, which is typically associated with a multi-week recovery period.

Melton (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Melton hauled in his lone target for 10 yards and turned three kickoff returns into 105 yards prior to his exit. Kaleb Johnson figures to be the primary returner on kickoffs if Melton is not cleared to return.

St. Brown caught 10 of 14 targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win over the Saints.

The star wideout got the new season started with a bang, leading Detroit in catches, targets and receiving yards while connecting with Jared Goff for a 19-yard score in the third quarter and a four-yard strike in overtime. The latter proved to be the winning TD when New Orleans failed on a two-point attempt on its answering touchdown. St. Brown has scored double-digit TDs in three straight seasons, and he may be well on his way to doing so again. He'll look to make an impact again in Week 2 on the road against the Bills.

Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Lambert-Smith exited the second half of Sunday's game. If the hamstring issue is anything other than a minor hit, the wide receiver will likely be required to miss time as he manages the issue. Derius Davis may see an increased role in the Chargers' passing offense in Lambert-Smith's absence.

Nabers (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Cowboys, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

During pregame warmups Sunday, Nabers took part in an extensive workout with a member of the Giants' training staff before joining his fellow wide receivers to catch passes from QB Jaxson Dart and company. Shortly thereafter, the Giants didn't include Nabers among their Week 1 inactives, meaning he's back in action for the first time since tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee Week 4 of last season. It's unclear what kind of workload he'll be able to handle, but New York's No. 1 WR will be available to Dart and the offense.

Pierce brought in four of six targets for 61 yards in the Colts' 41-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Pierce was slated to handle an abbreviated workload in Week 1 following his recovery from ankle and heel injuries, but the speedy veteran ended up setting the pace in receiving yards and tying for the team lead in targets for the Colts on the afternoon. Pierce also had the second-longest reception of the day for Indianapolis -- 23 yards -- and he looked generally prepared to take on the larger role expected in the wake of Michael Pittman's departure in free agency this past offseason. Pierce should be ready to take on even more snaps in a Week 2 road battle against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

McConkey is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Arizona due to a chest injury.

McConkey was injured when he took a big hit while trying to make a catch late in the third quarter. With McConkey leaving the contest, the Chargers could be without one of their top wide receivers for the rest of Sunday's game. If he's unable to return, Tre' Harris and Brenen Thompson could be asked to step into bigger roles in the Chargers' WR corps.

Tate caught four of six targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Jets.

Tate tied Wan'Dale Robinson for the team lead in receiving yards and targets, but Tennessee's entire passing game struggled as Cam Ward threw for a mere 140 yards. The Titans overhauled their wide receiver room by drafting Tate fourth overall out of Ohio State and signing Robinson to a four-year, $78 million contract in the offseason, but the results Sunday didn't look much different compared to the team that went 3-14 last season. Tate should continue to function as one of Ward's top targets in Week 2 against a stout Eagles secondary.

Olave caught 10 of 13 targets for 182 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions.

As expected, Olave was Tyler Shough's top downfield option, but there was plenty of volume to go around as the second-year QB aired it out 56 times as the Saints mounted a big second-half comeback to force OT. Olave was forced to leave the field at one point due to calf cramping, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, but the issue wasn't serious. The fifth-year wideout will continue to march toward his fourth career 1,000-yard campaign in Week 2 on the road against the Ravens.
