Jalen Coker WR | CAR
Panthers' Jalen Coker: Uncertain to return to Sunday's game
Coker is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to a quadriceps injury, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.
Heading into Week 3, Coker had been nursing an ankle injury and was listed as questionable in advance of Sunday's contest, though he ultimately received the green light to suit up. He's now tending to a new lower-body concern, which puts a cloud on his availability for the rest of the afternoon. Coker recorded two receptions for 18 yards before checking out of the game.

Colbie Young WR | CIN
Bengals' Colbie Young: Won't return vs. Pittsburgh
Young (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Young injured his knee in the first quarter and was considered doubtful to return. He won't return for the second half, and the Bengals could have an update on the rookie fourth-rounder following Sunday's game. Dohnte Meyers and Ke'Shawn Williams will operate in expanded roles in Young's absence.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Suiting up Sunday
Flowers (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Flowers' active status is a bit of a surprise considering he's logged just one limited practice since suffering a hamstring injury in the first half of a Week 1 win at Indianapolis. On top of that, the field conditions in Brazil appear to be less than ideal, but it won't stop the Ravens from making him available to handle snaps Sunday. How many plays that may translate to remains to be seen, but Flowers and Rashod Bateman presumably will be the top wide receivers at the disposal of QB Lamar Jackson.

Mike Evans WR | SF
49ers' Mike Evans: Active in Week 3
Evans (hip) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Brooke Evans of the 49ers' official site reports.
Evans managed just one limited session (Friday) during Week 3 prep due to a hip injury, but there wasn't much doubt that he'd be able to play through it Sunday, which now has been confirmed. In a 49ers receiving corps that seemingly loses one player per week -- Demarcus Robinson (high ankle sprain) joined Christian Kirk (calf), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) on IR on Saturday -- Evans is the unquestioned top wide receiver available to QB Brock Purdy, a role which so far has yielded a 9-103-1 line on 10 targets through two games with his new team.

Colbie Young WR | CIN
Bengals' Colbie Young: Injures left knee, unlikely to return
Young (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Young was serving as the Bengals' WR3 due to the absence of Andrei Iosivas (thumb, IR), but the former injured his left knee while hauling in a two-yard pass from Joe Burrow. Dohnte Meyers and Ke'Shawn Williams are both in line for more work on offense in Young's absence.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Likely to be limited, if active
The Ravens continue to view Flowers (hamstring) as a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's tilt with the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, and the wide receiver is expected to be limited to "somewhere in the realm of 20 to 30 plays" if he suits up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After turning in a limited practice Friday, Flowers went through a pregame workout Sunday and appeared to be moving around well while testing out both his left hamstring and the soggy field conditions in Brazil. The Ravens are still contemplating whether to make Flowers available for the Week 3 contest, with an official call on his status expected to arrive when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Flowers gets clearance to play, he looks like he could handle well under a full workload, making him a less appealing fantasy option than he normally would be as the Ravens' No. 1 wide receiver.

CJ Williams WR | JAC
Jaguars' CJ Williams: Won't play against New England
Williams (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Williams will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, and the rookie sixth-rounder's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 4. The Jaguars will go with five active wide receivers in Parker Washington, Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Josh Cameron and Travis Hunter.
-
Ryan Miller WR | MIA
Dolphins' Ryan Miller: Cleared to play Sunday
Miller (hip/back) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Miller was questionable ahead of the meeting with Kansas City due to hip and back injuries. However, the wideout is good to go. With Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out, Miller, who had a touchdown in Week 2 against the 49ers, could be more involved.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Looks good pregame, still iffy for Week 3
Flowers (hamstring) "looked good" during a pregame workout, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, and the Ravens are still mulling whether he'll play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The field conditions in Brazil are a major factor in the Ravens' decision regarding the status of Flowers, who is nursing a hamstring injury and sat out the Week 2 loss to the Saints. He remained sidelined for the Ravens' first two Week 3 practices back in the United States before making the trip to Brazil and turning in a limited practice Friday. Flowers seemingly responded well both to that practice and during his pregame work, but he still looks to be a true game-time call leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Flowers gains clearance to play, the Ravens could manage his snaps to some degree.

Kayshon Boutte WR | HOU
Texans' Kayshon Boutte: Remaining in No. 2 role Sunday
Boutte is expected to remain in the No. 2 receiver role for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Colts due to Nico Collins (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest.
While filling the same role in the Week 2 loss to the Bengals, Boutte logged a modest five targets on 47 routes run, emerging from the contest with a 3-37-0 line. The veteran pass catcher will draw a potentially more favorable matchup Sunday as the Texans aim for their first win of the season, as the Colts have surrendered an elevated 72.7 percent catch rate and 17.9 yards per reception to wide receivers.
