Olave caught six of 11 targets for 86 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Olave couldn't get on the same page as Derek Carr in the first half, catching only two of seven targets for 11 yards while Michael Thomas hauled in seven of nine targets for 55 yards. The 2022 first-round pick came alive in the second half, sparking the game's first touchdown drive with a one-handed, 42-yard catch. Olave thought he had a touchdown of his own in the fourth quarter, but a replay review revealed that he stepped out of bounds on the seven-yard line before scampering into the end zone. Despite playing second fiddle to Thomas early, Olave ultimately led the team in both targets and receiving yards. Olave will try to score his first touchdown of the season Week 3 against the Packers.

Olszewski (concussion) will not return to Monday's game against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Olszewski's absence will leave the Steelers with just four healthy receivers for the remainder of the game. He had recorded one reception for zero yards prior to his departure. He will need to clear the league's concussion protocols in order to suit up for a Week 3 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday night.

Olszewski is considered doutbtful to return to Monday's matchup with the Browns due to a possible concussion.

Olsezewski would need to quickly clear the league's concussion protocols in order to return. If he is unable to return, that leaves the Steelers with just four healthy receivers. He had recorded one reception for zero yards before exiting the game.

Trammell reverted to Rams' practice squad Monday.

Trammell was elevated ahead of Los Angeles' 30-23 loss to the 49ers, logging six snaps on special teams, including a 20-yard kick return. The wide receiver only garnered one offensive snap and will now have to wait for another chance to crack the active roster down the road.

Jones was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.

Jones again logged about half of the offensive snaps despite a poor showing in the season opener. While a significant downturn in usage rate provided no opportunities for him to put up any stats, the 33-year-old veteran didn't do much with the six targets he saw in Week 1 anyway. Next up for Jones is a Week 3 matchup with a talented Falcons secondary.

Raymond caught two of three targets for 46 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.

Raymond got loose for a 36-yard touchdown on a flea flicker but didn't make much noise otherwise. Averaging 22.0 yards on his three catches this season, Raymond will likely remain a low-volume deep threat despite the absence of Jameson Williams (suspension) entering a Week 3 matchup with Atlanta.

Winfree reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday.

Winfree was elevated to the active roster for each of Indianapolis' first two regular-season contests, though he was deployed only on special teams in Week 2. The Colts can elevate him once more -- after that, they'd have to add him to the 53-man roster in order for him to be active on game day.

Cooper (groin) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Steelers.

A report from Adam Schefter of ESPN surfaced Sunday indicating that Cooper, who suffered a groin injury at Saturday's practice, was considered unlikely to play Monday, but evidently the wideout's condition improved to the point that he'll give it a go versus Pittsburgh. It remains to be seen how close to 100 percent Cooper will be in doing so, but he's in uniform and thus represents a lineup option for those who held out hope that he'd be available Week 2. During the Browns' 24-3 win over the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 10, Cooper logged 46 snaps and caught three of his seven targets for 37 yards.

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Metcalf (ribs) is sore following Sunday's 37-31 overtime win at Detroit, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Metcalf left Week 2 action for a spell in the first half due to a rib injury but was able to return, playing 83 percent (60 of 72) of the offensive snaps and hauling in all six targets for 75 yards. In the wake of that contest, he likely will "need a couple days" to recover, per Carroll. As a result, there's a chance Metcalf won't be able to practice Wednesday, when the Seahawks kick off prep for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Chark (hamstring) is active for Monday's game versus the Saints, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to sitting out Week 1 in Atlanta, Chark managed just one limited session due to the hamstring injury that has followed him since at least Aug. 23. During Week 2 prep, he kicked it off with back-to-back capped practices before getting back to all activity Saturday. Still, he was deemed questionable for Monday Night Football. Now that he's officially available for his Panthers debut, Chark should be one of rookie quarterback Bryce Young's top pass catchers along with WRs Adam Thielen and Jonathan Mingo and TE Hayden Hurst.
