Thomas exited Sunday's game against the Vikings with a knee injury.

Thomas caught one of his two targets for nine yards before heading to the sideline after he suffered the injury on the Saints' first drive of the day. In his absence Sunday, A.T. Perry and Lynn Bowden are available to handle snaps at receiver that don't go to Chris Olave or Rashid Shaheed.

Agnew was forced out of Sunday's game against the 49ers with a shoulder injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Agnew did not record any catches. With Zay Jones (knee) already out, Tim Jones is a candidate to see added Week 10 snaps alongside fellow WRs Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Douglas caught six of nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Colts.

The sixth-round rookie led the Patriots in catches, targets and receiving yards as he put together the best performance of his young career, and it was Douglas that Bailey Zappe was looking for on a game-ending interception late in the fourth quarter. It's not clear whether Zappe or Mac Jones will be under center for New England coming out of next week's bye, but Douglas appears to be solidifying his spot as the top option in the team's passing attack ahead of a Week 12 clash with the Giants.

Downs recorded two receptions on three targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Patriots.

Downs played through a knee injury that was expected to keep him limited, and that came to fruition as he saw his lowest target total in a full game since Week 4. His primary contribution came on a 28-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that helped the Colts clinch a win. Heading into a bye, Downs should be able to return healthier for a Week 12 matchup against Tampa Bay.

Pittman recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Patriots.

As the score indicates, neither offense had much success getting the ball into the end zone, but Pittman still had a productive day. He accounted for two of the Colts' seven longest plays from scrimmage with receptions of 14 and 13 yards, helping him to his highest yardage total since Week 6. Pittman now has eight catches in three consecutive games and should remain Gardner Minshew's top target coming out of the Colts' Week 11 bye.

Thomas is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings and was spotted on the field warming up, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas wasn't listed on the Saints' Week 10 injury report, but his status still warranted a checkup ahead of Sunday's kickoff after he was arrested Friday in Kenner, La. on misdemeanor charges of simple battery and criminal mischief for his alleged involvement in an altercation with a man performing construction work in the receiver's neighborhood, according to Terrell. The Saints said Friday that they are aware of the incident and are gathering more information, and the expectation is that Thomas will continue playing while his legal situation remains ongoing.

Godwin is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, and he's expected to play despite dealing with an illness, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Godwin didn't appear on the Buccaneers' Week 10 injury report and didn't carry a designation into the contest, so the illness is likely something that emerged at some point Saturday or earlier Sunday. While the nature of Godwin's ailment isn't known, it's not believed to be anything that will prevent him from handling his usual starting role Sunday. However, it's possible his snap count be scaled back if the illness is inhibiting him in any way as the contest rolls along.

Nailor (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against the Saints, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official website reports.

Nailor is completing his return from injured reserve and suiting up for the first time since Week 2. Thus, he will be available for a depth receiving role and special-teams duties versus New Orleans.

Palmer (neck/illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

The rookie third-round pick was considered questionable despite putting in a full practice Friday, so it's not a major surprise he's suiting up for Sunday's contest. Palmer is coming off his most productive game of the season, as he caught three of four targets for 51 yards Week 9 at Houston.

Wallace (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.

Wallace will be a healthy scratch after playing Week 9 against the Seahawks. The third-year pro saw 12 snaps on offense, but he never saw a target. His next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Bengals.
