Moore caught just one of six targets for two yards in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints. He also rushed twice for 13 yards.

Moore led the Panthers in targets but failed to produce on a day quarterback Baker Mayfield again completed under half of his attempts. While Moore's status atop Carolina's receiving corps helps his stock, he's yet to surpass 50 scrimmage yards through three games. He and Mayfield will hope to finally get going in Week 4 versus the Cardinals.

Smith exited Sunday's game against the Panthers with a concussion and has been ruled out, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Nearly the entire Saints receiving corps suffered an injury at some point during the game, as Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Michael Thomas (foot) also exited. Smith had an impressive four-catch and 105-yard performance but was hurt late in the fourth quarter at the conclusion of a 48-yard reception. Smith will need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to suit up for Week 4 against the Vikings.

Thomas suffered a foot injury during Sunday's game at Carolina, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Thomas paid a visit to the sideline tent, then tested out his legs on the sideline before going back to the tent. Shortly thereafter, he made his way to the locker room, at which point the nature of the injury became known. Fellow wide receiver Jarvis Landry also left Sunday's outing with an ankle injury, so the Saints' available wide receivers down the stretch are Chris Olave, Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith.

Beasley, who signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad earlier this week and was elevated to the active roster Saturday, has quickly picked up the team's playbook, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. "He's quick, catches up to speed [really] fast, he understands the system," head coach Todd Bowles said Friday. "He's played and he's got a lot of reps under him, so if we needed him, I think he'll be ready."

Beasley's short acclimation curve could help propel him to a productive game Sunday considering the Buccaneers are down Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee). The veteran slot receiver worked intensively with receivers coach Kevin Garver this week and noted the team's scheme has plenty of carryover for him from the Cowboys and Bills offenses he's played in previously. Given Beasley's prior body of work, he profiles as just the type of sure-handed short-area receiver Tom Brady has thrived with in the past.

Edwards (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Edwards has had little success this season, recording one catch for two yards on three targets through the first two weeks. The lack of production has led to the Falcons elevating Frank Darby from the practice squad and giving him a chance Sunday. Edwards will work in practice to earn an opportunity to take the field in Week 4 against the Browns.

Byrd (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Byrd has been a healthy scratch each of the first three weeks of the season. The veteran receiver may need an injury to open up the chance of him playing in Week 4 against the Browns.

McKenzie has returned to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

McKenzie briefly left in the second half due to heat-related issues, but he's since returned. He's caught six passes for 64 yards and a touchdown and will look to continue his strong play in the fourth quarter.

Toure (coach's decision) will not play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Toure has yet to be active this season. The seventh-round selected rookie will have to continue to wait to make his NFL debut, despite the absences of Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson due to hamstring injuries.

Doubs is among five active wide receivers for the Packers in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Since Green Bay posted its final Week 3 injury report Friday, Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was placed on IR on Saturday and Christian Watson (hamstring) was among the team's inactives Sunday. As a result, Doubs has a prime opportunity to make his first big impact as a pro alongside veterans Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb. Doubs was the talk of Packers training camp and flashed his abilities during the preseason, but through two games he's been contained to six catches (on eight targets) for 64 yards.

Perriman (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 3 clash against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

As expected, the veteran speedster will be available on a day when the Buccaneers' receiving corps will be down Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee). Perriman played a key role in the Week 2 win over the Saints after Evans was ejected in the fourth quarter, catching what was essentially a game-sealing 28-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady. Given the volume of absences in the receiver corps Sunday, Perriman should be in line for an elevated role as a starter alongside Russell Gage.
