Duvernay caught three of six targets for 31 yards Sunday against the Broncos.

The second-year receiver played 33 snaps, which ranked third among Baltimore receivers. Duvernay also tied for third on the team in targets, but it was fellow second-year receiver James Proche who made a bigger splash with five catches for 32 yards. Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins are both locked into roles, but the No. 3 role is less settled, and Proche's emergence could impact Duvernay's role. Rookie Rashod Bateman's looming return also could be an issue for Duvernay. Baltimore hosts Indianapolis on Monday Night Football in Week 5.

Hart (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Hart wasn't targeted in Sunday's win over San Francisco, and he apparently picked up a knee injury during the contest. Dee Eskridge (concussion) was listed as limited on Monday's practice report, and Cody Thompson could see additional snaps Thursday against the Rams if both Eskridge and Hart are unavailable.

The Seahawks listed Eskridge (concussion) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

After taking a doubtful designation into the weekend before being made inactive for Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers, Eskridge will open Week 5 as a limited participant on the third practice report in a row. Eskridge presumably will need to upgrade to full activity by Wednesday to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol ahead of a Thursday night matchup with the Rams this week. Even if he does get the green light to play for the first time since the season opener, Eskridge may be asked to fill only a minor role in Seattle's offensive game plan.

The Seahawks list Metcalf as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Seattle didn't hold a formal practice following Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers, but Metcalf looks as though he may be slightly banged up coming out of that contest. Even if Metcalf was affected by the foot issue in the contest, it wasn't apparent in his final stat line. He played 46 of 56 (82 percent) of offensive snaps and delivered four receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Most likely, the Seahawks are taking it easy on Metcalf on a short week, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to handle his usual starting role Thursday against the Rams.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy suggested Monday that Cooper could be limited in practices this week while he contends with right hamstring and rib injuries, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, McCarthy said that Cooper still is expected to play in the Cowboys' Week 5 game against the Giants, even if he faces a lighter practice load than normal. Cooper briefly exited Sunday's win over the Panthers with the hamstring injury, finishing with three receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown on a season-low three targets. Since drawing 17 targets in the Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, Cooper has drawn a combined 12 looks over the subsequent three contests.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that he doesn't expect Gallup (calf) to practice this week, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The report essentially confirms that Gallup won't be returning from injured reserve when first eligible for Sunday's game against the Giants, after the wideout missed each of the last three weeks with the strained left calf. With Gallup set to sit out another contest, Cedrick Wilson should maintain a spot in three-receiver sets alongside Amari Cooper (hamstring/ribs) and CeeDee Lamb.

Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Moore is considered day-to-day and should soon clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Moore's return to full participation in practice Wednesday likely would support Saleh's comments, but even if the rookie wideout is limited in the Jets' first Week 5 session, he'd put himself in good position to suit up Sunday in Atlanta. While Moore and Jeff Smith (concussion) were sidelined for the Week 4 overtime victory over the Titans, Keelan Cole (three receptions for 92 yards on four targets) was the primary beneficiary of added playing time alongside starters Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder.

Chark (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Chark's placement on IR was expected because the receiver is expected to miss the remainder of the 2021 campaign due to a fractured left ankle that he sustained in Thursday's loss to the Bengals. Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault will serve as the Jaguars' top receivers going forward, while Tavon Austin, Tyron Johnson and Jamal Agnew are likely to compete for additional work.

Harry logged 15 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Buccaneers, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

In his 2021 season debut, Harry, who came off IR on Saturday, was out-snapped by Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne, en route to catching his only target for 10 yards. For now, the 2019 first-rounder is off the fantasy radar, but now that he's past the shoulder issue that sidelined him early on, Harry's role in the offense could grow in the coming weeks, especially in the event that either Meyers, Agholor or Bourne end up missing time down the road for any reason.

Bourne logged 36 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Buccaneers, en route to catching all five of his target for 58 yards, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

Bourne, who opened the season with two modest efforts, now has 11 catches on 13 targets for 154 yards and a TD over his last two games. While Jakobi Meyers (27 catches for 246 yards to date) has emerged as QB Mac Jones' favorite target, Bourne's recent chemistry with the rookie signal-caller suggests that he could maintain PPR utility Week 5 with what looks like a favorable matchup versus Houston on tap.
