  • Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG

    Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Sits out practice Wednesday

    Giants coach Brian Daboll said Hyatt (wisdom teeth) will not practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Hyatt was made inactive as a healthy scratch for New York's loss to the Eagles in Week 8, but he now appears to be missing time due to a dental issue. That Hyatt was left out of the wide receiver rotation Week 8 despite the Giants' depth issues at the position could be an indication that his chances to make an impact with the team that selected him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft are running out. Even if healthy, Hyatt may again be a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Still not practicing

    Ridley (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Given that Ridley has yet to practice since being forced out of Week 6 action after just six snaps, the wideout's continued absence at Wednesday's session isn't a good sign as Sunday's game against the Chargers approaches. If Ridley is sidelined for a third straight game this weekend, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson would continue to lead the Titans' WR corps versus Los Angeles.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Won't practice Wednesday

    Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Wicks (calf) will not practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Wicks is working his way back from a calf injury suffered Week 7 versus Arizona, and he didn't practice at all Week 8 en route to being ruled out versus the Steelers. He appears to now be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That said, Wicks will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before Green Bay decides whether to assign him a game-day injury designation for Week 9.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Gabe Davis: Past knee injury

    Davis (knee) moved to active practice squad status and will practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

    The veteran wideout was placed on the Bills' practice squad injured list in early September, but it now appears he's recovered from the issue. Davis appeared in 10 game for the Jaguars in 2024, catching 20 of 42 targets for 239 yards and two touchdowns. Now fully healthy, he could find his way back onto Buffalo's active roster down the stretch, as he's very familiar with the team's offense.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Still not practicing

    Palmer (knee/ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Palmer, who hasn't practiced since exiting an Oct. 13 loss to the Falcons, has two more chances to get some work in before the Bills assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. If Palmer remains out this weekend, Elijah Moore and Tyrell Shavers would continue to see added snaps alongside fellow WRs Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Ready to practice

    Falcons coach Raheem Morris said London (hip) will participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    London and Michael Penix (knee) are both slated to practice Wednesday after having been sidelined for Atlanta's loss to the Dolphins in Week 8. Penix was limited in practice due to a bone bruise in advance of being ruled out for Miami, while London as a surprise inactive after having initially avoided a game-day injury designation, then being reclassified as questionable on Saturday. Morris said both London and Penix remain day-to-day in advance of Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Minimal output in Week 8 win

    Shepard finished with an eight-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Saints.

    With the Buccaneers placing Mike Evans (collarbone) on injured reserve prior to Sunday's game and with Chris Godwin (fibula) ruled out for the third contest in a row, Shepard appeared primed to see an expanded role in the Tampa Bay passing attack in a favorable matchup with the Saints. That ultimately didn't come to fruition, as the Buccaneers cruised to an easy win thanks to four Saints turnovers that created short fields for quarterback Baker Mayfield, who dropped back just 27 times on the day. Shepard was one of just five Tampa Bay pass catchers targeted in the win, with none eclipsing 43 receiving yards. Shepard ended up playing just 41 percent of the offensive snaps in the victory, and his role could be downsized further if Godwin and/or Jalen McMillan (neck) are able to return following the Buccaneers' Week 9 bye.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Records second reception of season

    Skowronek secured his lone target for a 13-yard reception in Sunday's 35-25 loss to the Packers.

    The reception was Skowronek's first since Week 1, when he had a 22-yard touchdown catch in a win over the Jets. He played just 11 of the Steelers' 63 snaps on offense Sunday and remains buried on the depth chart at receiver behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson.

  • 49ers' Jordan Watkins: One catch in NFL debut

    Watkins recorded a seven-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Texans.

    A fourth-round pick out of Ole Miss, Watkins had his NFL debut delayed after a high ankle sprain kept him out for the preseason before he then injured his calf in a mid-September practice. After a full slate of practices in Week 8, Watkins finally received the green light to play, though the rookie receiver barely saw the field Sunday. He logged just six of the 49ers' 48 snaps on offense, placing him fifth among San Francisco wideouts.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Meager role in Week 8

    Flournoy finished with a seven-yard reception on two targets while playing 34 of the Cowboys' 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.

    Flournoy predictably has seen his opportunities in the Dallas passing attack take a huge downturn following CeeDee Lamb's return to action in Week 7 following a three-game absence due to an ankle injury. With Lamb in the fold for the past two contests, Flournoy has been sharing the No. 3 receiver role with Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin, and has tallied just one reception.
