Jalen Brooks WR | ARI
Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: Active in Week 3
Brooks (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Ravens.
The reserve wideout was limited in the last two practices of the week, but Brooks will be available to Dak Prescott as the No. 4 receiver behind the top trio of CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert. Brooks has played an unsurprisingly minor role thus far over the first two games, recording a 2-28 line on four targets.

Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Healthy scratch
Weaver (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
Weaver missed the first two weeks with an oblique injury but has practiced in full this week, suggesting he's now healthy. However, that didn't guarantee he'd get to play in Week 3, and he'll now have to wait until next Sunday against the Commanders to have the opportunity to make his NFL debut.

Greg Dortch WR | DET
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Suiting up Sunday
Dortch (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions.
The Cardinals tacked on Dortch to Friday's practice report as limited due to a hamstring injury, which left him questionable for Week 3 action. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Dortch was in line to play through it, and indeed that'll come to pass. He's a regular in Arizona's offense, but with WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson, TE Trey McBride and even RB James Conner ahead of him in the pecking order for targets, Dortch's output (8-58-0 on 10 targets, a four-yard carry through two contests) is too inconsistent to trust for fantasy purposes on a weekly basis.

Britain Covey WR | PHI
Eagles' Britain Covey: Ruled out Sunday
Covey (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's game in New Orleans, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Covey thus will finish Week 3 with one catch (on one target) for 11 yards. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) inactive, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the current healthy wide receivers on the Eagles' active roster.

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Seahawks' Laviska Shenault: Will play
Shenault (foot) is active Sunday against the Dolphins.
Shenault was a late addition to the Seahawks' injury report, sitting out Friday's practice with the injury. However, it won't stop the Colorado product from suiting up against Miami on Sunday. The 25-year-old has two catches on three targets for six yards on the season.

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Won't play Sunday
Washington (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Washington, who was limited in all three of the Dolphins' practices this past week, approached the contest listed as doubtful. With Washington's NFL regular-season debut still on hold, Braxton Berrios is on hand to work as the team's No. 3 WR behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, with practice-squad elevations Dee Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma also available as depth options versus Seattle.

Britain Covey WR | PHI
Eagles' Britain Covey: Injures shoulder Sunday
Covey suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans.
Covey took advantage of A.J. Brown's (hamstring) absence Week 2 against the Falcons, hauling in all six of his targets for 23 yards. However, he was targeted only once (an 11-yard catch) before exiting Sunday in the second quarter. Currently, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the healthy wide receivers on the Eagles' active roster.

Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Steelers' Van Jefferson: Exits Sunday's game
Jefferson exited Sunday's game against the Chargers due to an eye injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Prior to that, Jefferson hadn't been targeted in the contest. In his absence, George Pickens, Calvin Austin and Scotty Miller are available to handle the Steelers' WR duties, while the versatile Cordarrelle Patterson can also chip in on that front.

A.T. Perry WR | PIT
Saints' A.T. Perry: Sitting out Sunday
Perry (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles.
Perry was considered a healthy scratch in Week 2, although he dealt with a hand injury earlier in the week. Now, after being limited during practice this week due to an illness, he'll be inactive once again. His next opportunity to play will be in Week 4 against the Falcons.
