Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (concussion) is day-to-day and will get some work in on the side at practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Daboll said Nabers is "doing better," but the rookie first-round pick still hasn't progressed enough through the NFL's concussion protocol to do anything more at practice than working with trainers on the side field. Still, Nabers is making progress after not having been able to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for New York's win over the Seahawks in Week 5. If Nabers is to suit up for Sunday's game against the Bengals he will need to pass through all phases of the five-step concussion protocol, including gaining clearance from an independent neurologist.

Shakir (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Shakir didn't practice in any capacity last week before sitting out Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. His continued absence from practice makes Shakir's availability for Monday's game against the Jets cloudy at this stage. While Shakir was sidelined Week 5, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel (foot) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling served as the Bills' top four receivers, but none of the quartet made a major mark on the box score on a day that quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 pass attempts.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Samuel will not participate in practice Wednesday due to foot and toe injuries, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel previously dealt with turf toe during the preseason, but he's since suited up for all five of Buffalo's regular-season contests. While the Bills were without Khalil Shakir (ankle) in this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans, Samuel logged a season-high 58 percent offensive snap share and drew his highest target total (four) of 2024, but he ended the day with zero yards through the air and one rush for minus-1 yard. Samuel has been a non-factor on offense to begin his Bills tenure, and he'll now need to get healthy before having any chance to bounce back versus the Jets on Monday.

The Cardinals will release Moore on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Moore has played a depth role on offense through each of Arizona's first five games and failed to draw a target across 26 snaps. With Zay Jones (suspension) eligible to return to the field as early as Sunday versus Green Bay, Moore looks as though he'll find himself as the odd man out from Arizona's receiving corps. He could reunite with the Cardinals as a member of the practice squad, however.

The Texans placed Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Collins will miss at least four games due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills. As a result, Collins won't be eligible to return to action until the Texans' Week 10 matchup with the Lions on Nov. 10. The star wideout currently leads the NFL with 567 receiving yards, making his loss a tremendous blow for CJ Stroud and the Texans passing offense, but Houston has a deep enough receiving corps to feel confident in the abilities of Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson and tight end Dalton Schultz to step up in Collins' absence.

Adams (hamstring) isn't expected to play for the Raiders in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Though Adams is believed to be nearing full health as he recovers from a hamstring injury that has kept him out for the Raiders' last two contests, he's not trending toward being available this weekend. Adams' expected absence for Week 6 may have less to do with the hamstring injury at this point than it does his desire to be traded, and the Raiders could honor that request and hold the wideout out of action until a deal is reached. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that trade discussions pertaining to Adams are expected to intensify this week, with the Saints and Jets currently viewed as the two favorites to acquire the 31-year-old receiver. The Steelers, Bills and Ravens are among the other teams who are believed to be in touch with the Raiders regarding Adams.

Bobo caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Giants.

Bobo played just two of the Seahawks' 58 offensive snaps Sunday. Buried on the depth chart behind DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett and Laviska Shenault, the 26-year-old Bobo has been mostly an afterthought in Seattle's passing attack. Through five weeks, the second-year wideout has recorded just six catches for 48 yards. Bobo should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Seahawks host the 49ers in Week 6.

Samuel caught one of four targets for zero yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.

The four targets were a season-high for the veteran receiver, but he was unable to make the most of his opportunities. Despite also recording a season-high 58 percent offensive snap share while No. 1 wideout Khalil Shakir (ankle) was sidelined, Samuel turned in his worst statistical game of the season. Through five games, Samuel has totaled just nine catches for 48 yards, as he's struggled to break through in a receiving corps that's desperate for a spark.

Iosivas caught one of his two targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Iosivas was limited to just one reception for a second straight game, as the wideout continues to be less involved in the Bengals offense with teammate Tee Higgins healthy. The 24-year-old still played 53 of the Bengals' 67 offensive snaps Week 5, behind Ja'Marr Chase (59) but ahead of Higgins (48). With Chase and Higgins dominating the target share, however, Iosivas is difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production.

Tipton reeled in one of four targets for two yards during Monday's 26-13 loss against the Chiefs.

Tipton logged a season-high in targets while serving as the Saints' WR3. The 5-foot-11 undrafted rookie didn't connect with Derek Carr (oblique) on two deep targets in the second and fourth quarter, but he once again played more offensive snaps (19) than veteran wideout Cedrick Wilson (12). However, Carr is expected to miss multiple games with a left oblique injury sustained during Monday's loss, and his absence would cast a shadow on the Saints' passing game moving forward. In the meantime, either Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler should step in under center for this coming Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.
