  • Saints' Cedrick Wilson: Deals with injury again Week 9

    Wilson reeled in two of three targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-22 loss versus Carolina.

    Wilson briefly exited with a shoulder injury during the second quarter but was able to return before the end of the first half. The 28-year-old ended up playing just under half of the Saints' offensive snaps, and he tied with Mason Tipton for the most targets of any of the team's wideouts. Neither receiver played a significant role even though WR1 Chris Olave was forced out with a concussion in the first quarter. Instead, running back Alvin Kamara and versatile tight end Taysom Hill led the team in targets with nine and five, respectively. Wilson logged a season-high seven targets when Olave was sidlined for the Week 7 loss to Denver, and he should therefore serve as one of the primary wideouts alongside Tipton if Olave ends up missing Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Back in Monday night

    Hardman (shoulder) has returned to Monday night's game against the Buccaneers, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    The punt and kick returner injured his shoulder in the first quarter on a punt return. Hardman did not record a catch before exiting. The sixth-year pro has just six catches for 58 yards on the year.

  • Cody White WR | SEA

    Cody White: Reverts to practice squad

    White reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    White was elevated for Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams with DK Metcalf out with a knee injury, and he played on 35 of 80 offensive snaps, catching two of his three targets for 44 yards and no scores. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (71 snaps), Tyler Lockett (71 snaps) and Jake Bobo (42 snaps) all played more than White on Sunday, though the call-up did play more than Dareke Young (six snaps) and Laviska Shenault (three snaps). White also played on 11 special-teams snaps and blocked a punt.

  • Mason Tipton WR | NO

    Saints' Mason Tipton: Held catchless Week 9

    Tipton failed to bring in any of his three targets during Sunday's 23-22 loss against Carolina.

    Tipton played over 75.0 percent of offensive snaps for the third game in a row, and he was the only Saints wideout to play over 50.0 percent of these snaps. However, he still logged a paltry three targets despite an early exit for Saints' No. 1 wideout Chris Olave, who sustained a concussion in the first quarter. Instead, running back Alvin Kamara and do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill were the top two in targets with nine and five, respectively. Tipton tallied a season-high nine targets when Olave was ruled out ahead of the Week 7 loss to Denver, and it therefore stands to reason Tipton could be featured more if Olave is once again ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

  • Johnny Wilson WR | PHI

    Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Sees more snaps but no targets

    Wilson saw the field for 35 offensive snaps in Week 9 against the Jaguars but wasn't targeted a single time.

    Wilson's role increased with A.J. Brown exiting with a knee injury just before halftime, but not to the point where Jalen Hurts ever actually looked his way. The rookie has just one catch for nine yards this season. With Brown looking like he'll have a chance to return without missing any time, Wilson's role may shrink again next week.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | LAC

    Jalen Reagor: Reverts to practice squad

    Reagor reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    The wide receiver played on 19 of 57 offensive snaps in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. Reagor played on fewer snaps than Ladd McConkey (48), Quentin Johnston (39) and Joshua Palmer (35), though he did see more action than Simi Fehoko (nine snaps) and Derius Davis (two snaps) with DJ Chark out with a groin injury. Reagor caught one of his two targets for no gain in the game.

  • Elijah Cooks WR | NO

    Elijah Cooks: Back to practice squad

    Cooks reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Cooks and fellow practice squad wideout Austin Trammell were each elevated for Week 9 for the first time of the 2024 regular season. While Trammell saw 33 snaps on offense, Cooks had just three and did not record a stat. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the rest of the year, Cooks and Trammell could both be elevated for Week 10 against the Vikings, especially if Gabe Davis (shoulder) remains sidelined.

  • Austin Trammell: Reverts to practice squad

    Trammell reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

    Trammell was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the first time this season for Week 9 against the Eagles, and he finished the game with two catches (on three targets) for 40 yards. His 33 snaps on offense were third most among the Jags' wide receivers behind Brian Thomas (49) and Parker Washington (46). Trammell could be elevated for Week 10 against the Vikings if Gabe Davis continues to be sidelined due to a shoulder injury.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Questionable to return Monday night

    Hardman (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Buccaneers.

    The punt and kick returner was injured on a 30-yard punt return in the first quarter. Hardman did not record a catch before exiting. Carson Steele and Xavier Worthy are next in line to handle kickoff- and punt-return duties, respectively.

  • Kendric Pryor WR | CIN

    Kendric Pryor: Returns to practice squad

    Pryor reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday.

    Pryor was elevated for the first time this season as Tee Higgins (quadriceps), Charlie Jones (groin) and Jermaine Burton (coach's decision) were all out. Pryor ended up hauling in his only target for nine yards in addition to returning two kicks for 43 yards during Sunday's win over the Raiders.
