Slayton got checked for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to exiting late in the fourth quarter, Slayton had gathered in all three targets for 49 yards and taken one carry for 11 yards. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll be subject to league protocol before he can suit up again.

Olave has been discharged from a Charlotte, N.C. hospital and will return to New Orleans with his teammates following Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Olave needed a cart to get off the field following a big hit in the middle of the first quarter. Diagnosed with a concussion not long after, he'll be subject to the protocol for head injuries in order to suit up again. The Saints play next Sunday versus the Falcons.

Whittington (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game at Seattle, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Whittington thus is missing a second straight contest due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity in all three Week 9 practices, indicating he's drawing closer to a return to action. With Whittington sidelined, Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Smith will be the tertiary wide receivers behind the top duo of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

Nacua (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Seattle, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

In the wake of banging his right knee into the ground at Thursday's practice, Nacua didn't practice Friday and thus entered the weekend listed as questionable for Week 9 action. The Rams never seemed too worried about his availability, though, and his status now has been confirmed. Nacua will be facing a Seahawks defense that has conceded the ninth-most receiving touchdowns (eight) to opposing wideouts in eight contests this season.

Legette (hand) returned to Sunday's game versus the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Legette exited late in the second quarter due to a hand injury but was able to get back on the field after halftime. He'll be looking build upon the two catches (on two targets) for three yards and one touchdown and one carry for six yards that he accrued in the first half.

Thomas (chest) is active for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Eagles.

The star rookie practiced in a limited fashion all week and was believed to be trending toward active status, which now is official. Thomas will have a chance to enjoy his largest target opportunity share yet, considering Christian Kirk (IR, collarbone) and Gabe Davis (inactive, shoulder) are unavailable and Jacksonville could well have to eventually adopt a pass-heavy approach in a game in which it's a significant road underdog.

Davis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Davis logged limited practices this past week before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the season and Davis sidelined, Brian Thomas (who had been listed as questionable with a chest injury as well, but is active Sunday) is in a position to lead the Jaguars' Week 9 wideout corps, with added opportunities in the team's passing game available for fellow wideouts Parker Washington and Tim Jones, along with tight ends Evan Engram and Brenton Strange.

Legette exited Sunday's game against the Saints with a hand injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit, Legette caught both of his targets for three yards and a TD and carried once for six yards. In his absence, Jalen Coker, David Moore, Jonathan Mingo and Deven Thompkins are available at wideout for the Panthers.

London (hip) won't return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Late in the first quarter, London visited the sideline tent and eventually was deemed questionable to return. While he tested out his hip on the stationary bike in the meantime, he was deemed unable to reenter the contest at halftime. London will end Week 9 with two catches (on two targets) for 27 yards and a touchdown.

Wilson exited Sunday's game at Carolina due to a shoulder injury.

Prior to his departure in the second quarter, Wilson hauled in his only target for 18 yards. In a game in which fellow WR Chris Olave (concussion) also left early following a scary hit, the Saints are down to Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson at the position.
