Burks was using crutches and sporting a boot on his left foot after Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

While the Titans have yet to detail the severity of Burks' foot issue, the rookie wideout looks iffy for next Sunday's game against the Commanders. If Burks is forced to miss time, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister would be candidates for added WR snaps for Tennessee.

Diggs secured four of six targets for 62 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Diggs turned in a relatively quiet performance by his lofty standards, even though his reception, yardage and target totals all paced or co-led the Bills on the afternoon. The Ravens did a solid job containing Buffalo's normally potent air attack overall, so the lack of prolific numbers for Diggs wasn't exactly surprising. Despite the modest showing, Diggs still eclipsed the 60-yard mark for the fourth time in as many games this season, and he'll aim to boost his numbers back up across the board at the expense of the Steelers in a Week 5 home matchup.

Collins caught three of five targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

Collins led the Texans in receiving yards, with a long gain of 58 fueling his performance and helping him post his highest yardage of the campaign. Through four games, however, Collins is yet to find the end zone, leaving something to be desired ahead of Week 5's matchup versus the Jaguars.

Brown injured his neck during Sunday's 25-10 win against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

During the fourth quarter, Brown ran to the sideline, seemingly favoring his left arm, but he eventually was deemed questionable to return due to a neck issue. He was unable to retake the field, ending his day with three catches (on six targets) for 61 yards. Michael Gallup (knee) was back in the lineup Sunday and figures to earn more work as he gets his feet under him, which could hinder Brown's potential moving forward. First, though, Brown may have some practice limitations this week as the Cowboys prepare for next Sunday's visit to the Rams.

Cooks caught all seven of his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

Cooks trailed teammate Nico Collins' 82 receiving yards, but he still led the Texans in both targets and receptions while scoring for the first time this season. The veteran's touchdown came from 18 yards to begin the fourth quarter, making it a one-score game after Houston trailed 21-0 early on. Despite his team ultimately losing a third straight game, Cooks now approaches Week 5's meeting with the Jaguars coming off his best performance of the campaign.

Cephus (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Cephus had an increased role to begin Sunday's matchup since Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle) were both out. However, Cephus tallied just two receptions for 15 yards prior to his departure. Tom Kennedy and Maurice Alexander should see increased opportunities for the Lions down the stretch.

Dotson was forced out of Sunday's game at Dallas due to a hamstring injury.

The circumstances surrounding Dotson's departure are unclear, but if he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 4 with three catches (on four targets) for 43 yards and one touchdown. With Dotson on the sideline, the Commanders are down to Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Cam Sims, Dax Milne and Dyami Brown at wide receiver.

Burks (foot) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Per Wyatt, Burks will not return to the game due to his foot injury. Prior to his exit, the 2022 first-rounder caught two of his three targets for 14 yards and rushed once for four yards.

Cephus left Sunday's game with the Seahawks early with a foot injury.

Cephus was playing an increased role with Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle) both out with injuries. The third-year receiver had hauled in two passes for 15 yards before exiting. While he is out, Tom Kennedy and Maurice Alexander will likely see extra opportunities.

McKenzie is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Prior to that, McKenzie had caught four of his six targets for 21 yards and a TD. With Jamison Crowder having previously exited the contest with an ankle issue, Khalil Shakir is a candidate to see added WR snaps alongside Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.
