Jefferson has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay due to an ankle injury.

Per the Red Zone broadcast, there was no footage of the play or stretch of time in which Jefferson may have been injured, but an ankle issue won't allow him to retake the field for Week 3 action. He thus will finish Sunday's matchup with two catches on as many targets for 32 yards. Jordan Addison will handle No. 1 WR duties for as long as Jefferson is sidelined.

Robinson caught seven of 11 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants.

The wideout got a measure of revenge against his former employer, catching a four-yard strike from Cam Ward late in the fourth quarter to give the Titans a flicker of hope, but the comeback fell short. Robinson led his new team in targets and catches on the day, although Carnell Tate had one more receiving yard. Through his first three games with Tennessee, Robinson's posted a 13-104-1 line on 18 targets heading into a Week 4 road trip to Baltimore.

Evans left Sunday's contest against the Cardinals due to a rib injury and won't return, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

On the play before Evans made his way off the field slowly and eventually was carted to the locker room, he endured a big hit from multiple Arizona defenders. With Evans out for the rest of Week 3 and four other 49ers wide receivers on injured reserve, Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge are the healthy members at the position available to QB Brock Purdy.

Tate caught six of nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants.

The fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft set new season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards while leading the Titans in the latter category, although Wan'Dale Robinson caught one more pass and was on the other end of Cam Ward's only TD of the day. Through three games, Tate leads the team with 20 targets, turning them into a modest 13-123-0 line in one of the league's weakest passing attacks. Tate will try to keep building chemistry with Ward in a Week 4 road trip to Baltimore.

Higgins brought in six of seven targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase turned in signature performances in the high-scoring loss, and the former finished as the runner-up in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the day to his talented teammate. Higgins' first score of the season came on a 28-yard grab late in the first half, knotting the score at 17-17 going into halftime. Through three games, Higgins is on pace for a potential third career 1,000-yard season, as he's quickly amassed a 14-244-1 line on 23 targets.

Evans suffered an apparent undisclosed injury during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Evans dealt with a hip issue during Week 3 prep but was able to suit up Sunday, only to exit in the second quarter one play after he was sandwiched between some Arizona defenders. He then left the sideline on a cart, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Prior to his departure, Evans hauled in three of six targets for 34 yards and one touchdown.

Coker (quadriceps) does not think his injury is serious, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Coker was forced to exit Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Browns in the second half with a quadriceps injury, and he was unable to return before the conclusion of the contest. The wide receiver explained following game that he was frustrated to not be able to finish the game, but he isn't overly concerned about the injury. Coker will likely undergo additional imaging in the near future, and his status at the team's practice of the week Wednesday will shed more light on his chances to play Week 4 versus Detroit.

Nabers caught five of six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans.

The Giants' passing game struggled with Jameis Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart (knee), and while Nabers led the team in catches and targets, he didn't make much of an impact -- his longest gain went for just 12 yards. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the third-year wideout's campaign with Dart not expected back until 2027, but Nabers and Winston will have plenty of time to develop more chemistry. Nabers will take a 12-96-0 line on 19 targets into a Week 4 home tilt against the Cardinals.

Jefferson is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Tampa Bay due to an ankle injury.

Jefferson picked up the issue in the first half of this Week 3 matchup, and if he's unable to reenter the contest, he'll end it with two catches (on two targets) for 32 yards. WR Jordan Addison and TE T.J. Hockenson will take on more sway in the Vikings' passing game for as long as Jefferson is sidelined.

McMillan (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings, PewterReport.com reports.

McMillan left in the first quarter due to a left knee injury, which is severe enough for the third-year wideout to not return to Sunday's game. Tez Johnson and rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst are candidates to see a significant boost in offensive snaps in McMillan's absence.
