Jones caught four of six targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Commanders.

Jones finished third in targets for Jacksonville and played 58 of 70 offensive snaps, but he didn't provide significant production in the passing game. The veteran wideout could be third in the pecking order for quarterback Trevor Lawrence, as Christian Kirk and Zay Jones worked as the top options and caught 12 of 21 targets for 182 yards in the season opener.

Isabella caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Chiefs.

Isabella is getting a chance early on this season with DeAndre Hopkins serving a six-game suspension and Rondale Moore sitting out Week 1 due to a hamstring injury. Despite getting the fourth-most offensive snaps among Cards wide receivers, though, Isabella didn't do much with the 32-percent share behind Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green. It's unclear if Moore will be back for Week 2 action, but if he's a DNP again Sunday at Las Vegas, Isabella at least should have another opportunity for looks from Kyler Murray.

Allen (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant during Tuesday's walk-through practice.

The Chargers aren't completely closing the door on Allen suiting up Thursday against the Chiefs, but head coach Brandon Staley already acknowledged that the wideout's chances of playing Week 2 "aren't looking great," according to ESPN.com. On a more positive note, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relays that the MRI the receiver underwent on his hamstring after exiting the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Raiders revealed no major damage, so Allen should have a decent chance at being ready to play Week 3 versus the Jaguars on Sept. 25. An official decision on Allen's availability for Thursday's game will likely come Wednesday, when the 30-year-old will likely have to practice in some capacity to avoid being officially ruled out on the Chargers' final injury report.

Watson (chest) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

The Chiefs listed Watson as a limited participant on Monday's estimated report, but he didn't encounter any restrictions when the team held a more traditional practice session Tuesday. The 26-year-old receiver is in line to play Thursday against the Chargers, after he failed to catch his only target during last Sunday's season opener against the Cardinals.

Humphrey was signed to the Patriots' active roster Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Humphrey was elevated to the Patriots' active roster prior to last Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins, as fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was listed as questionable for the contest. Meyers ended up playing, and the 225-pounder subsequently reverted back to the team's practice squad Monday. However, with RB Ty Montgomery (knee) being placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Humphrey was signed to New England's active roster once again. The 24-year-old provides the team with added WR depth ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, and he could serve as a contributor on special teams.

Smith-Schuster (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Kansas City listed Smith-Schuster as a limited participant on Monday's estimated report, but he didn't face any restrictions when the team held a more traditional practice session Tuesday. The wideout looks to be in the clear to play Thursday against the Chargers, coming off a solid debut in last week's 44-21 win over the Cardinals in which he recorded six receptions for 79 yards on eight targets while playing 46 of Kansas City's 70 snaps on offense.

The Saints released Dixon from their practice squad Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Dixon will cede his spot on the practice squad to veteran running back Latavius Murray. An undrafted rookie receiver out of Nicholls State, Dixon will hope to catch on with another organization's practice squad.

The Steelers waived Roberson from their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Roberson originally signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent back in May, but he was later waived by the team in August. The rookie receiver then signed with Pittsburgh's practice squad last Wednesday, but he was cut loose again Tuesday. He'll now search for another opportunity elsewhere.

The Patriots placed Montgomery on injured reserve Tuesday due to an apparent aggravation of a right knee injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

After initially injuring his knee Aug. 26 and turning in only limited participation in practice last week, Montgomery was listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He ultimately gained clearance to play in the Patriots' season-opening 20-7 loss, logging 21 snaps while accounting for 13 yards and New England's only touchdown across five touches (two carries, three receptions). With Montgomery's move to IR ensuring that he'll miss at least the next four games, rookie Pierre Strong or practice-squad running back J.J. Taylor could step in as the third option in a backfield rotation headlined by Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.

Moore hauled in their only target for 30 yards during Sunday's 44-21 win over Arizona.

Moore wasn't heavily involved in the offensive gameplan in the opener, logging just 13 total snaps on offense. However, his lone reception did come while Patrick Mahomes was under center early in the second half. He could move up in the pecking order should other wideouts miss time, but it appears he's mainly in development mode early in the season.
