Andrews recorded three receptions for 57 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4 against Washington.

Andrews bounced back from a tough Week 3 performance when he appeared out of sync with Lamar Jackson. He recorded a pair of touchdowns in a single game for the second time this season, hauling in scores of 25 and 22 yards. There was little else left for Andrews to do throughout the game, as the Ravens attempted only 23 passes in their lopsided victory. Andrews will have another favorable matchup in Week 5, as Baltimore will face off against the Bengals.

Togiai (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

Togiai played 53 offensive snaps over the past two weeks and failed to catch his lone target, and he won't be available Sunday as a healthy scratch. Trey Burton (calf) returned from injured reserve Saturday and will be in the mix with Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox.

Akins has been diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Akins recorded three catches for 46 yards before absorbing an illegal hit from Vikings safety Harrison Smith, who was ejected for his actions. Darren Fells will operate as the top tight end for the rest of the game while Pharaoh Brown rotates in.

Akins is being evaluated for a possible concussion Sunday against the Vikings, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the game, Akins paced the Texans with three catches for 46 yards. Darren Fells is next up for the team's pass-catching looks at tight end.

Deguara (shin) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Falcons.

Deguara logged two straight limited practice sessions to finish off the practice week, so he may gear up for the first time since Week 1. Meanwhile, Marcedes Lewis (knee) is considered doubtful, so Deguara could operate as the No. 3 tight end Monday.

Lewis (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Falcons.

The lack of pass-catching depth for the Packers continues to rear its ugly head as Allen Lazard's undefined absence following core muscle surgery is only worsened by Lewis' doubtful designation. Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger will continue to operate as the two main TEs for the Packers, but the wide receiver corps is dangerously thin behind Davante Adams (hamstring) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, which would have likely allowed for the veteran to see a few more snaps if he were able to play.

Fant is not expected to play next week against the Patriots, but is considered "week-to-week" in subsequent games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

If there's a bit of a silver lining for Fant it's that he doesn't appear to have suffered a season-ending ankle injury during Thursday's win over the Jets. An elongated absence is hardly a consolation prize considering the Broncos are practically devoid of healthy pass catchers with Courtland Sutton (knee) on IR and Jerry Jeudy banged up entering Thursday's matchup. Albert Okwuegbunam makes for an intriguing speculative add in deep leagues considering his speed (4.49 40-yard dash), but it's worth reiterating the rookie was a healthy inactive Thursday with Jake Butt and Nick Vannett both ahead of him on the depth chart despite the obvious difference in athletic talent.

Lewis (knee) was absent from practice Saturday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lewis didn't participate in Thursday's practice, either, as he deals with an unspecified knee issue. His absence wouldn't be a major blow to the Packers' plans, as he's caught just two passes all year, though one of those passes came in the end zone.

Tomlinson was cut by the Giants on Friday.

Tomlinson was let go in order to make room for a player to fill a position in more need. He is expected to sign with the team's practice squad.

Cager (hamstring) reverted to the Jets' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Cager suffered a serious hamstring injury during Thursday's loss to the Broncos, and coach Adam Gase expects him to miss a "couple weeks." The 23-year-old wide receiver will officially be on the practice squad during his recovery.
