Pascal caught all four of his targets for 41 yards in Saturday's preseason win at Minnesota.

Pascal started opposite Michael Pittman at wide receiver with T.Y. Hilton sitting out. Pascal will remain a steady presence in the Indy passing game and fill in at several roles, but he may not have much upside for targets if both Hilton and Parris Campbell stay healthy.

Strachan had two receptions on four targets for 12 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Minnesota.

Strachan is battling Dezmon Patmon and Ashton Dulin for perhaps the final roster spot at wide receiver. Both Strachan and Patmon are seen as having strong training camps and have had strong preseason games, even though Strachan didn't overly impress Saturday.

Patmon had four receptions on five targets for 60 yards in Saturday's preseason win at Minnesota.

Patmon is battling Mike Strachan and Ashton Dulin for perhaps the final roster spot at wide receiver. Patmon has had two impressive preseason games and looks likely to win a roster spot. However, he'd need several injuries in the receiving corps to get significant playing time on offense.

Erickson caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Saturday's 20-14 win over the Cowboys in preseason Week 2. He also returned one punt for nine yards.

Erickson moved up the depth chart behind Keke Coutee for the game because Anthony Miller (shoulder) was unavailable. Miller's injury timeline is expected to run through the preseason with hope that he can play the season opener at home against Jacksonville. If Miller's timeline is pushed out any longer, Erickson is line to take his snaps.

Brown (undisclosed) was in uniform and participated in warmups, but he didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, Ben Arthur of the Nashville Tennessean reports.

Other key players such as fellow WR Julio Jones, RB Derrick Henry and QB Ryan Tannehill also didn't take the field once the game started Saturday, and it's unclear if they'll see action in next weekend's preseason finale against the Bears. That said, there's no reason to think that Brown's Week 1 status is in question, a notion that would be confirmed by the wideout's participation in practice this coming week.

Taylor was targeted five times and caught four passes for 66 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Jets.

Taylor made a couple impressive catches in Saturday's game and easily led all Packers pass catchers in receiving yards in the team's second exhibition contest. He does not have a roster spot locked up as of yet, but with nine receptions for 116 yards yards through two preseason games, he has put himself in good position to secure one.

Berrios caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Saturday's 23-14 preseason win over the Packers. He added two yards on a punt return.

Berrios returned to action after missing the preseason opener against the Giants due to a groin injury. His production in this one was nothing to write home about, but Berrios actually ranked second in targets behind Corey Davis (six), while no other teammate was thrown to more than twice. Berrios has the inside track on securing a roster spot due to his contributions as a return man on special teams and ability to fill in capably in the slot on offense, but a strong performance in the preseason finale against the Eagles would help put any doubt about his future with the Jets to bed prior to final cuts.

Schwartz (hamstring) isn't in line to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Giants, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Schwartz's anticipated absence is injury-related, and his status for the team's preseason finale next weekend is TBD. Meanwhile, the Browns are expected to rest multiple healthy starters Sunday, which sets the stage for the team's depth wideouts to have an opportunity to make their respective cases for roster slotting versus the Giants.

Smith-Marsette had a 41-yard kickoff return and a 17-yard punt return in Saturday's preseason loss to Indianapolis.

Smith-Marsette didn't do much on offense, as didn't have a reception on two targets. However, he'll need to make the roster as a returner, and he showed a spark in the loss. Smith-Marsette was a fifth-round selection and could make the team as a special teams contributor and depth receiver.

Davis caught four of six targets for 70 yards in Saturday's 23-14 preseason win over Green Bay.

The Jets' starters on offense played almost the whole first half, and Davis was targeted on six of quarterback Zach Wilson's 11 throws. The chemistry between the rookie quarterback and free-agent addition at wide receiver has been apparent, though both of Wilson's touchdowns in this one went to tight end Tyler Kroft. Regardless of his involvement in the preseason finale against the Eagles, Davis is poised to open the season as the No. 1 wide receiver in a Jets offense that looks much more competent than last year's league-worst unit.
