  • 49ers' Jordan Watkins: Could be headed for lengthy absence

    Watkins (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Matt Barrows of The Athleticreports.

    Watkins was added to the injury report Thursday and was quickly ruled out for Sunday's game. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated the injury is a long-term issue, and Watkins is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

  • Cody White WR | SEA

    Cody White: Bounced back to practice squad

    The Seahawks released White but signed him back to the practice squad Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    White has had a whirlwind week, as he was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Wednesday. He'll now return to the practice squad, and he is a candidate to be elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Questionable for Week 3

    Oliver (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Oliver suffered a knee injury in Week 2 and has not practiced in any capacity throughout the week. While he's officially listed as questionable, his practice participation doesn't bode well for him suiting up.

  • 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Deemed questionable for Week 3

    Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Jennings didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and wasn't spotted by reporters at Friday's session. It's not looking great right now, but the 49ers could treat Jennings as a game-day decision ahead of their 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. If Jennings doesn't play, Ricky Pearsall will project for a larger target share, while veteran wideouts Kendrick Bourne, Russell Gage, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore take on Jennings' vacated snaps.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Cleared to play

    Berrios (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Berrios is set to make his season debut after missing the first two games with a hamstring issue. He's unlikely to see much action on offense, but Berrios could handle some kickoff and punt returns.

  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Good to go

    Horton (groin) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp have accounted for 67.3 percent of Seattle's targets through two weeks, but Horton found a way to chip in during last Sunday's 31-17 win at Pittsburgh, scoring from 21 yards out on his first NFL catch. The Seahawks likely won't expect much more from him than the occasional big play, unless Smith-Njigba or Kupp misses time with an injury. For Week 3, the rookie figures to handle his usual role as the No. 3 wide receiver in Seattle.

  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Noah Brown: Ruled out for Sunday

    Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Brown hasn't practiced since making an early exit from last Thursday's loss to the Packers. His absence leaves Jaylin Lane as the probable No. 3 receiver, although Luke McCaffrey could also help fill the void.

  • Texans' Christian Kirk: Set to play Sunday

    Kirk (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing fully Friday.

    DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com relayed Tuesday that coach DeMeco Ryans said Kirk was expected to play this weekend after missing the Texans' first two games with a hamstring issue, an outcome that's now been confirmed. In his looming return, Kirk will bolster a Houston wideout corps that's led by Nico Collins, and assuming no in-game setbacks, he has a chance to see enough volume Sunday to merit Week 3 fantasy lineup consideration.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Clear for Week 3

    Thomas (wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

    Thomas has gotten off to a slow start this season, with five catches for 60 yards and no touchdowns on 19 targets through the first two games. A wrist injury is partly to blame, as coach Liam Coen revealed Monday, per Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union. Thomas proceeded to follow an FP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, during which Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union noted on Thursday that the wideout's wrist was "sore" following Wednesday's session. Thomas then relayed via O'Halloran on Friday that he's "good to go" for Week 3 action, which was confirmed on the Jaguars' most recent injury report. The 2024 first-round pick thus will be in line to serve as the the team's No. 1 pass catcher Sunday, though it remains to be seen if his efficiency woes are behind him.

  • Trey Palmer WR | NO

    Saints' Trey Palmer: Questionable for Week 3

    Palmer (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.

    Palmer has been a healthy inactive each of the Saints' first two games, so even if he's cleared to play, it wouldn't be a shock to see him inactive once again.
