Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Douglas (ankle) is day-to-day and could practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the team's official site reports.

Douglas was inactive for Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs due to the ankle injury, but the Dolphins are seemingly optimistic that his absence won't extend beyond that. The rookie wideout has carved out a notable role right off the bat for Miami, logging snap shares north of 85 percent in both of the team's first two games while producing a 7-113-0 receiving line on 10 targets.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he still has no update regarding how long Reed (neck) will be sidelined, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Reed is just over a week removed from sustaining a serious-looking neck injury during the Packers' Sept. 20 win over the Jets, which resulted in the wide receiver being stretchered off the field and required an overnight hospital stay. Since Reed returned to Green Bay, the Packers haven't provided many details on his status, as the 26-year-old is seemingly still being evaluated before a timeline for a return is established. Though LaFleur didn't definitively rule Reed out for Week 4 matchup against the Buccaneers, all signs point to the wideout missing a second straight game.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen reiterated Monday that Pierce didn't undergo surgery on his left heel and is continuing to rehab the injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network had previously relayed last week that Pierce would avoid another procedure after aggravating his surgically repaired heel in a Sept. 20 loss to the Chiefs, but that report was called into question after the wideout was spotted Sunday moving around the Colts locker room with the aid of a scooter while he had a cast on his left foot. Apparently, Pierce is using the cast for extra protection and using the scooter to keep weight off the injured foot, which he hopes will accelerate the healing process. Pierce is without a timeline to return to game action, but he'll have to miss at least three more contests after landing on injured reserve over the weekend.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he's "hopeful" to have Collins available for the Texans' Week 4 game against the Cowboys, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Collins is working his way back from a Grade 1 hamstring strain, which has kept him from playing in either of the Texans' last two games. He hasn't practiced during the past two weeks either, so Collins would likely need to get back on the field as at least a limited participant at some point between Wednesday and Friday to have a realistic shot at suiting up against the Cowboys on Sunday. The Texans' playoff hopes have already taken a hit following an 0-3 start to the season, but the potential return of their No. 1 receiver could invigorate an offense that has struggled in his absence over the past two weeks.

Brown was spotted Monday in the Patriots' locker room walking without a limp and wearing a small wrap on his injured right ankle, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

Kyles noted that Brown was wearing cleats, which could hint that he was able to do some on-field exercises. After being placed on injured reserve Sept. 12, Brown won't be eligible to start practicing with his teammates until Week 6, but the wideout at least seems to be making good progress in his recovery from the high-ankle sprain he sustained in the season-opening loss to the Seahawks.

Coker has been diagnosed with a minor quadriceps strain and could be available to play in next Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coker made an early exit from Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Browns due to the quad issue, but follow-up tests Monday appear to have revealed nothing overly significant. That being said, Coker's status for Week 4 is still up in the air, with his practice activity Wednesday through Friday likely to be the determining factor in whether he plays. Despite leaving early in Week 3 in addition to being a regular on injury reports ahead of the Panthers' last two games due to an ankle issue, Coker has gotten off to a stellar start to the season with an 18-222-2 receiving line on 22 targets.

McMillan is slated to undergo an MRI on his left knee Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

McMillan missed the Buccaneers' season-opening loss to the Bengals while recovering from a knee injury, then was cleared to play in the Week 2 loss to the Browns but was limited to just seven snaps. He had been expected to play a more substantial role in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings, but he logged just two snaps before going down with the knee injury on the Buccaneers' first possession and missing the rest of the game. The MRI will provide clarity on the extent of McMillan's latest setback with his knee, but even if imaging reveals nothing overly concerning, the wideout could still be at risk of missing next Sunday's game against the Packers.

Sutton caught three of seven targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.

Sutton led the team in receiving yards Sunday night while tying for the team lead in targets with RJ Harvey and Jaylen Waddle. This was a step in the right direction after Sutton mustered just 36 receiving yards over the previous two games combined. Between the offseason acquisition of Waddle and the change in play callers from Sean Payton to Davis Webb, Sutton has taken a step back early in the 2026 season after exceeding 1,000 receiving yards in each of the previous two regular seasons and catching 15 touchdown passes over that span. Sutton is still searching for his first TD of the campaign heading into a Week 4 road game against the 49ers.

Mumpfield caught four of eight targets for 93 yards and a touchdown during Sunday night's 30-26 loss to Denver.

Mumpfield operated in a more prominent role at wide receiver behind Davante Adams once again in Week 3 while Puka Nacua (hip) remained sidelined for a second game in a row. The rookie finished third on the team in targets behind Adams (13) and tight end Tyler Higbee (11). Mumpfield's biggest moment of the game came in the fourth quarter when he connected with quarterback Matthew Stafford for a 48-yard score with 3:46 remaining in regulation. The wide receiver has now opened his NFL career by catching five of 11 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown over three regular-season contests.

Waddle caught two of seven targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams. He also rushed once for 14 yards and caught a two-point conversion.

The highlight of Waddle's night came on the two-point conversion after Denver's first touchdown in the third quarter. Bo Nix dropped a pass just over a defender's helmet and Waddle came down with it while getting both feet down in the corner of the end zone to cut Denver's deficit to 16-8. Waddle tied for the team lead with seven targets, matching the totals of Courtland Sutton and RJ Harvey, who were two of the five players that topped Waddle's total in receiving yards Sunday night. The prized offseason acquisition is off to an inconsistent start with the Broncos ahead of a Week 4 trip to San Francisco, sandwiching a 138-yard outburst in Week 2 between two games in which he recorded a combined 12 receiving yards.
