NFL Player News

Evans (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

The same goes for Russell Gage (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), while Chris Godwin (hamstring has been ruled out). Gage, Jones and Evans all had slightly different practice routines throughout the week, but each of the three was a limited participant Friday to finish things out. The good news for fantasy managers interested in any of them is that the Bucs and Saints kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, with inactives due at 11:30. Evans doesn't seem especially likely to be on that list, but it needs to be watched closely given all the high-profile players listed as questionable.

Philips (shoulder) was limited in practice Friday.

Philips ramped up his activity after sitting out Thursday's practice entirely, but he sported a non-contact jersey, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. The rookie generated some fantasy buzz after leading the Titans with 66 receiving yards in his NFL debut, but fantasy managers relying on him Week 2 will have a dearth of options if Philips is unable to suit up, as the Titans won't face the Bills until Monday.

Godwin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Godwin missed practice all week after injuring his hamstring in his first game back from an ACL tear. Both teams have loaded injury reports for this NFC South clash, with Tampa's list of questionable players including fellow wide receivers Mike Evans (calf), Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring), all three of whom managed limited practices Friday.

Berrios (heel) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Berrios is likely to suit up considering he put in consecutive full practices Thursday and Friday after a limited session Wednesday. However, the slot receiver and return man didn't have his name taken off the injury report, so fantasy managers relying on his services should check in on Berrios' status prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Higgins (concussion/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas.

Higgins sustained a concussion during the Bengals' season-opening loss to the Steelers. Week 2 prep has included a limited session Wednesday, no practice Thursday due to personal reasons and a full listing Friday. Higgins has nearly completed his quest through the NFL's protocol for head injuries, but his status may not be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Packers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

With the rookie highly likely to miss a second straight game, the Bears again figure to roll with Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis as their top three receivers. It's unclear if Jones will shake that up once he gets healthy, or if he'll merely have a depth role.

Robinson (knee) will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Robinson failed to practice in any capacity throughout the week, so it isn't surprising to see the rookie wide receiver listed as out on New York's final injury report. With Kadarius Toney (hamstring) questionable, the Giants could be down two young playmakers in a receiving corps that still will feature Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard and Richie James. Robinson's next chance to suit up will come Week 3 against Dallas on Monday Night Football.

Coach Sean McVay said Jefferson (knee) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Jefferson will miss a second consecutive game to begin the season, which should keep Ben Skowronek in an expanded role against Atlanta. McVay added that Jefferson is progressing in his recovery, but it's too early to tell whether the wide receiver will be ready to play Week 3 against the Cardinals.

Toney (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Toney battled injuries throughout his rookie season, so it's discouraging to see him banged up again early in his sophomore campaign. The 2021 first-round pick is a talented playmaker with the ball in his hands, but Toney touched the ball only twice Week 1, so he'll be tough to trust until he's given a larger role.

Coach Matt Rhule said Marshall had his best week of practice this week and added that he's "hopeful" Marshall will see the field Week 2, Ellis Williams of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Marshall didn't play a single snap in the season opener. The 2021 second-round pick doesn't appear to be injured, so Marshall seeing snaps will come down to whether or not his coach believes the wide receiver is ready to contribute.
