Pringle was forced out of Sunday's contest against the Texans with a calf injury.

Pringle is iffy to return to Sunday's game against Houston after he was seen walking to the locker room with an apparent calf injury. Before his departure, the speedy receiver caught one pass for 11 yards. Expect Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis to take on an expanded role for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Texans if Pringle isn't able to return.

Callaway may be the Saints' return man Sunday against the Panthers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Callaway was seen fielding punts during warmups. The team's usual return man, Deonte Harty, is a healthy scratch. This is a role Callaway had at times during his rookie season with the team, but it had not carried over since.

Shakir (coach's decision) is inactive Week 3 against the Dolphins.

Shakir saw two targets across 23 offensive snaps last week against the Titans, but he'll be the odd man out among the wideouts following the return of Gabe Davis (ankle). The Bills will proceed with five active wide receivers, and this move also solidifies the fact that frequent special teams contributor Jake Kumerow is ahead of Shakir on the depth chart.

Proche (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Proche failed to suit up during the team's Week 2 contest against the Dolphins with the same injury, and he'll once again watch from the sidelines Sunday against New England. However, his ability to practice in full during Friday's session suggests he's on track to return next Sunday when Baltimore hosts the Bills. In the meantime, fellow WRs Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson and Tylan Wallace should all take on an expanded roles.

Patmon (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.

Patmon was active for the Colts' loss to the Jaguars last Sunday, but with Michael Pittman (quadriceps) and Alec Pierce (concussion) set to return, Patmon will find himself on the sidelines. He'll work to earn a chance to be active in Week 4 against the Titans.

Marshall (coach's decision) is inactive against the Saints on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Marshall is the wide receiver who will sit as Laviska Shenault will be active for the first time as a Panther. The former continues to struggle to make headway on the team's positional depth chart, not playing a single-snap in Week 1, then following that up with just six in Week 2.

Jones (hamstring) is inactive Week 3 against the Texans.

Jones saw more reps on the practice field this week, but the third-round pick will ultimately sit in favor of more experienced contributors. His next chance to suit up will be Week 4 against the Giants.

Harty (coach's decision) will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

With Harty a healthy scratch Sunday, fellow wideout and return specialist Marquez Callaway should take his place as the No. 4 receiver for the Saints.

Wilson (ribs/toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Wilson, who approached the game listed as questionable after being limited at practice this past week, will give it a go Sunday and is in line to continue to serve as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind clear-cut top options Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In that context, Wilson's not ensured steady weekly volume with Hill and Waddle on track to continue to log plenty of targets in the team's passing game.

Philips (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Philips logged three limited practices leading up to the Titans' Week 3 matchup. However, he'll miss his first game of the season, which should ensure that Treylon Burks and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine see the field plenty. Philips' absence will also likely push Amani Hooker into primary punt-return duties.
