Johnson (ankle) will not return to Saturday's preseason finale versus the Vikings, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Johnson will miss the rest of the contest and can now be considered questionable for Week 1 against the Seahawks. The wide receiver had been impressing at camp after going undrafted this year. Johnson's exact injury remains unclear.

Johnson is questionable to return after he suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's game against the Vikings.

Johnson went down with a non-contact injury after he was running a route, which has now been deemed as an ankle injury. More information on his status will likely be provided later in the night.

Jeudy isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason contest versus the Vikings, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Jeudy will be joined in street clothes by Courtland Sutton, while KJ Hamler (knee) is expected to see his first game action since Week 3 of last season. With Tim Patrick (knee) ruled out of the 2022 campaign, Jeudy could have higher usage in the Broncos offense working with new quarterback Russell Wilson, starting Week 1 at Seattle.

Sutton isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Vikings, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Both Sutton and Jerry Jeudy weren't in uniform ahead of Saturday's 9:00 p.m. ET kickoff, meaning KJ Hamler (knee), who is in line to get his first game action since Week 3 last season, and Montrell Washington should serve as Denver's top options at wide receiver in preseason Week 3. Sutton thus will turn his focus to a Week 1 matchup against new quarterback Russell Wilson's old team, the Seahawks, on Monday, Sept. 12.

Burks (wrist) returned to Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks had to leave Tennessee's exhibition finale with a wrist injury, but after a visit to the locker room he returned to the sidelines and eventually the contest itself. He'll look to build upon the two catches (on two targets) for 19 yards that he accrued prior to his departure.

Thielen is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Broncos.

The same applies to fellow WRs Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn, RBs Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison, QB Kirk Cousins and TE Irv Smith (thumb), with the Vikings erring on the side of caution with their key skill players in their exhibition finale. When the team takes on Green Bay in Week 1, Thielen is in line to start at wideout for Minnesota alongside Jefferson.

Treadwell caught two of six targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 28-12 preseason loss to Atlanta.

Treadwell wasn't always on the same page with third-string quarterback EJ Perry, but they connected for a seven-yard touchdown in the final seconds of the first half. While Treadwell's on the roster bubble, it would be surprising if the 2016 first-round pick (Vikings) failed to make the Jaguars after closing out last season with a streak of seven consecutive games with more than 50 receiving yards or a touchdown.

Burks was forced out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Cardinals with a wrist injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Burks is presumably done for the evening as a result, and his status will need to be monitored in advance of Week 1. Prior to his departure from Saturday's contest, the 2022 first-rounder caught both of his targets for 19 yards.

Proche (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's preseason game versus Washington, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The bad news for Proche is that this means he'll miss the entire preseason -- he's been sitting out since Aug. 9 with a soft-tissue injury of some sort. The good news for Proche is that the Ravens still don't have many plus options at wide receiver behind Rashod Bateman, so he will likely have a healthy role in the offense once he returns.

Duvernay isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Commanders, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The same applies to Rashod Bateman, James Proche (undisclosed) and Tylan Wallace. Bateman and Duvernay are projected to work as the Ravens' starting wideouts in the team's Week 1 contest against the Jets.
