London brought in 12 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

London led the Falcons in receptions and receiving yards on the night while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in targets, serving as the biggest beneficiary of Kirk Cousins' record-setting 509-yard performance. The talented third-year wideout opened the scoring on the night as well, recording an 18-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession. London now has three touchdowns in the last four games and double-digit targets in back-to-back contests, displaying a level of chemistry with Cousins that fantasy managers had envisioned when investing draft capital this summer. London will next take aim at a vulnerable Panthers defense in a Week 6 road divisional clash on Sunday, Oct. 13.

London (head) returned to Thursday's game against Tampa Bay after being evaluated for a concussion, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London was hit in the head early in the second quarter and missed roughly one full offensive possession while being evaluated for a concussion. He was cleared and returned to game action with just over half of the second quarter remaining.

London exited Thursday's game against Tampa Bay and is being evaluated for a head injury, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

London got off to a quick start, racking up three catches for 38 yards and a touchdown. However, he took a hard shot to the head area while working over the middle of the field early in the second quarter. London went to the locker room, and there should be further clarity on his status once the evaluation is complete.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The punt returner and wide receiver did not record a stat before exiting. The two receivers in front of him on the receiver depth chart and behind him on the punt-returner depth chart, Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion), are inactive Thursday. Sterling Shepard and Cody Thompson are Tampa Bay's only other available receivers beyond Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Robinson (hip) practiced in full Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

One day removed from logging a capped session Wednesday, Robinson returned to full participation, paving the way for him to continue being a part of the Rams receiving corps Sunday against the Packers. With WRs Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve and Cooper Kupp (ankle) sidelined, Robinson hasn't been lacking in offensive snaps this season, earning at least 85 percent in all four games. Still, Robinson has mustered just a 9-161-0 line on 18 targets for the season while Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington have taken on larger target shares the past few contests.

Cowing (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Cowing has missed the first two practices of the week after injuring his shoulder in Week 4 against the Patriots. He'll have one more chance to practice in some capacity in order to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Cardinals. Ronnie Bell has a chance at serving as the 49ers' No. 4 wideout in Week 5 if both Cowing and Chris Conley (oblique) are unable to play.

Conley (oblique) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report.

Conley has missed the first two practices of the week, putting his availability for Sunday's game against Arizona in jeopardy. The 2015 third-round pick will have to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a shot at suiting up. With Jacob Cowing (shoulder) also missing a second straight practice, Ronnie Bell has a shot at serving as the 49ers' No. 4 wide receiver Sunday behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings.

Lockett (thigh) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett is enduring practice limitations due to a thigh injury for a fourth week out of a possible five to kick off the campaign. So far, the issue hasn't stopped him from being available on game days, resulting in a cumulative 18-199-0 line on 26 targets in four contests. Friday's injury report ultimately may clear Lockett ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants.

Metcalf (hand) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf missed one session during Week 3 prep due to a hand issue, but he otherwise hasn't been hindered in practice until Thursday's capped showing. He currently has a streak of three consecutive 100-yard performances, so how he's listed on Friday's injury report will be of extra interest as the Seahawks continue to gear up for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Osborn (shoulder) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Osborn also missed Wednesday's session, so he likely will need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Dolphins. Either way, with five catches for 31 yards on 13 targets through in four games to date, Osborn carries modest fantasy value.
