Aiyuk (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Per Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site, a left shoulder injury kept Aiyuk out for a select number of plays during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams, so the wideout's status will need to be monitored as Thursday night's game against the Giants approaches. In the 30 snaps on offense (out of a possible 57) that Aiyuk logged versus Los Angeles, the 49ers' starting WR caught three of his six targets for 43 yards.

Robinson (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

As he has been for the Giants' other six injury reports to begin the season, Robinson again was listed as limited as the team starts preparations for Thursday's game at San Francisco. So far, he hasn't been able to suit up due to the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee Week 11 of last campaign. It remains to be seen if Robinson will make his season debut Week 3, but if not New York will trot out Isaiah Hodgins, Parris Campbell, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt and Sterling Shepard at wide receiver.

Reagor reverted to New England's practice squad Monday.

Reagor did not suit up despite joining the active roster for Week 2, so he's still looking for his first game action in 2023. Barring multiple injuries to the Patriots' wide receiver room, his chances of drawing consistent playing time this season are slim.

Coach Josh McDaniels said Monday that Meyers (concussion) is "headed in the right direction," but it's too early to know if he'll be cleared for the Raiders' home opener against the Steelers on Sunday night, Jimmy Durkin of the Athletic reports.

Meyers didn't play Week 2 after suffering a concussion during the season opener at Denver. The wideout made his presence felt before getting knocked out of that game, recording nine receptions (on 10 targets) for 81 yards and two touchdowns. McDaniels' comments are encouraging, but further clarity on Meyers' availability should surface Wednesday when the Raiders have to release their first injury report of Week 3.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Waddle was "progressing" through the concussion protocol as of Monday afternoon, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Waddle left Sunday night's game late in the second half after being hit in the head by Patriots linebacker Marte Mapu, which resulted in a penalty. The star wideout was eventually escorted to the locker room and never returned to the contest. It's unclear what exactly McDaniel's comments mean, but fantasy managers should get more clarity Wednesday when Miami has to release its first injury report of Week 3.

Coach Doug Pederson said Jones is considered day-to-day with a knee injury and will undergo further testing Monday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Jones briefly left Sunday's game against the Chiefs in the first half with a knee issue but returned and ended up playing 66 percent of the team's offensive snaps. However, he failed to record a reception on six targets. Further clarity on Jones' injury should surface Wednesday, when the Jaguars have to release their first injury report of Week 3.

The Steelers placed Johnson (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Johnson was already ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Browns, but he'll now be forced to miss at least four games due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the season opener. Given the Steelers' Week 6 bye, the earliest Johnson could suit up would be Week 7 versus the Rams. In Johnson's absence, Calvin Austin and Allen Robinson should see more snaps behind George Pickens.

Cooks (knee) is expected to play in Dallas' Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Cooks is expected to be a limited participant at practice Wednesday before logging a full session Thursday. If that happens, the veteran wideout will be in a good position to suit up after missing Week 2 due to a slight MCL sprain. Cooks was limited in the season opener, catching just two of four targets for 22 yards as the Cowboys routed the Giants.

Cooper (groin), who is listed as questionable, is going to see how he feels pregame, but there's optimism he'll suit up for Monday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Cooper was considered unlikely to play, but the extra day off must have been beneficial for the wideout. If he suits up, there's a chance Cooper is limited Monday night, so fantasy managers still should proceed with caution. The veteran caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in the season-opening win over Cincinnati before aggravating a groin injury he dealt with during training camp.

Brown caught each of his three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 35-33 win over the Broncos.

Brown has played 27 and now 33 percent of snaps in Washington's first two games, running routes on around one-third of Sam Howell's dropbacks as the No. 4 receiver. While unlikely to usurp Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson or Curtis Samuel on the depth chart, Brown could become a near-every-down player if one of the three misses time with an injury (especially McLaurin/Dotson). The whole group seemed to finish Sunday's win healthy, likely leaving Brown as the No. 4 WR again for Week 3 against Buffalo.
