The Giants cut Brownlee from the practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Brownlee has appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Jets and Chiefs during his career, catching five passes (nine targets) for 56 yards and one touchdown. The 27-year-old has experience, so he could get an opportunity elsewhere, though it may be as a member of another team's practice squad.

The Cardinals placed Brooks (wrist) on injured reserve Tuesday.

The transaction comes after Brooks announced earlier in the day that he underwent season-ending wrist surgery. Brooks saw light snaps through the first four weeks of the season, but he stepped in as the Cardinals' No. 3 wideout for the past three games after Marvin Harrison was traded to the Texans. The 26-year-old will finish the 2026 campaign with five receptions for 81 yards on 17 targets to go with 499 yards on 19 kickoff returns.

Golden (shoulder/foot) didn't participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Coming out of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions, Golden is nursing a pair of injuries that have resulted in him going down as a non-participant on the Packers' Week 8 injury report. The Packers will see if Golden can upgrade to limited or full participation in Wednesday's session before deciding whether he'll carry a designation into Thursday's game against the Panthers. Despite leading the NFL with six drops through the first seven weeks, Golden has emerged as a useful fantasy asset in his second NFL season with 36 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets to go with six rushing yards.

The Raiders reinstated Thornton (hamstring) from injured reserve Tuesday.

With Thornton's 21-day practice window coming to a close this week, the Raiders elected to move him back on to the 53-man roster. A full participant in each of the Raiders' last nine practices, Thornton looks like he'll be ready to play this Sunday against the Jets, but he may not be in store for a meaningful role in the receiver rotation. He struggled to carve out consistent volume in the passing game as a rookie fourth-round pick in 2025, putting together a 10-135-0 receiving line on 30 targets over 15 appearances.

Coker (shoulder) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

After being listed as limited in Monday's practice estimate, Coker was able to take a step forward in activity a day later. With a full practice under his belt, Coker should be ready to handle his usual snap share in Thursday's game against the Packers. Coker -- who was held to one reception on four targets in Week 7 -- and the rest of the passing attack will look to bounce back after Carolina quarterbacks Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett were limited to just 178 yards through the air in a 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Brown secured two of five targets for 30 yards in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.

Brown saw an expanded role due to the absences of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), and the veteran wideout finished third in receiving yards and targets as a result. Brown's stats were his first of the season, and although there have been some rumblings about him being a potential trade candidate, the Eagles' lack of healthy bodies at the position could give Brown some job security through the deadline.

Flournoy secured all four targets for 70 yards in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Flournoy tied with George Pickens for second in receptions and outgained his teammate by 13 receiving yards to finish as the runner-up in that category as well. The second-year wideout has popped for 90- and 70-yard tallies in two of his last three games, and although his week-to-week production remains somewhat erratic, Flournoy does have some upside thanks to his growing chemistry with Dak Prescott.

Lemon brought in seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.

Lemon operated as the Eagles' de facto No. 1 receiver on a night where both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were sidelined, and the rookie met the moment by posting career- and team-high figures across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Lemon rounded out his solid performance by recording his first NFL touchdown catch on a four-yard scoring grab with just under six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Lemon could have another opportunity to spearhead the air attack in a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night, as both Smith and Wicks may be hard-pressed to get healthy enough to suit up for that contest.

Pickens brought in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Pickens tied for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards on the night for the Cowboys, and the athletic receiver added his second touchdown of the season on a highly difficult catch in the right corner of the end zone with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter. Both of Pickens' scoring grabs this season have come in the last three games, and he's now boasting a 37-485-2 line on 58 targets as a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals approaches this Sunday.

Lamb brought in five of 12 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Lamb led the Cowboys across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he added his fifth and sixth touchdowns of the season on nine- and 16-yard scoring grabs. The veteran star has 70 or more receiving yards in two straight and five of his last six contests overall, and his average of 11.6 targets per game gives Lamb an elite floor heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.
