Odunze (calf) was listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice.

Odunze was limited for a second day in a row as his status remains unclear going into Week 1. Friday's injury report should provide some clarity, but even then, the Bears may not make a final call on Odunze until Sunday. An absence from Odunze this weekend would open playing time for Kalif Raymond or Zavion Thomas.

Kupp caught two of three targets for 35 yards in Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots.

Kupp turned the tide with a spectacular one-handed grab for 24 yards in the third quarter while the Seahawks trailed 10-0. He thought he had a seven-yard touchdown three plays later, but the scoring play was nullified by an illegal shift penalty. Seattle would settle for a field goal to kickstart a 13-0 run to end the game. Kupp finished a distant second in receiving yards behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 122, which could be a preview of the team's pecking order in the passing game all season. Sam Darnold (hip) exited in the first quarter of Wednesday's win, and Drew Lock is likely to be Seattle's starting QB in Week 2 against the Cardinals while Darnold's on the mend.

Shaheed caught one of three targets for four yards while adding three kickoff returns for 80 yards and a nine-yard punt return in Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots.

After some offseason whispers about a larger role on offense for Shaheed, that didn't materialize in the season opener, as he wasn't among the five players who recorded multiple catches for the Seahawks. The standout return man maintained his prominent role on special teams, and he was on the field for 33 of Seattle's 50 snaps on offense. Shaheed is likely to have Drew Lock as his quarterback Week 2 against the Cardinals, as starting signal-caller Sam Darnold (hip) is likely to miss that game after exiting in the first quarter Wednesday.

Wicks is listed as a starter on the Eagles' unofficial depth chart.

Philadelphia lists three starting wide receivers, with those spots going to Wicks, DeVonta Smith and rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon. Wicks had 581 receiving yards as a rookie with the Packers during the 2023 regular season and has failed to reach that mark since, posting only 415 receiving yards in the 2024 regular season and 332 yards in 2025. The 25-year-old wide receiver has an opportunity to play a larger role with his new team, which will kick off regular-season action Sunday against the Commanders.

Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said Thursday that Hurst has continued to ascend week after week while adjusting well to the NFL, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Hurst is likely to begin his career in a depth role, though the rookie third-round pick out of Georgia State could see some involvement on offense out of the gate, especially if Jalen McMillan (knee) isn't cleared to face the Bengals in Week 1. McMillan practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, while Emeka Egbuka practiced fully after dealing with a recent toe injury. Egbuka and Chris Godwin figure to get most of the targets among Tampa Bay's wide receivers, though the 6-foot-3 Hurst showed the ability to stretch the field in college and may not need heavy volume to make an impact.

Meyers (thumb) was spotted in a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Meyers is practicing in a non-contact jersey for a second consecutive day after being listed as limited at Wednesday's practice. He'll have one more chance Friday to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Browns. Two-way player Travis Hunter and rookie Day 3 draft picks Josh Cameron and CJ Williams would be candidates to receive playing time alongside Brian Thomas and Parker Washington if Meyers misses any game action due to his lingering thumb injury.

Brown received a preliminary diagnosis of a right high-ankle sprain after exiting Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.

In his Patriots debut, Brown tallied three receptions for 26 yards on four targets before departing in the third quarter with the injury, which occurred when a Seahawks defender landed on his right ankle. Though X-rays on his ankle returned negative, Brown will be sent in for an MRI on Thursday before the Patriots establish a timeline for his return. High-ankle sprains typically result in multi-week absences, so if the MRI confirms the preliminary diagnosis, Brown would face an uphill battle to suit up in the Patriots' next game Sunday, Sept. 20 versus the Steelers.

Douglas secured five of seven targets for 20 yards in the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.

Douglas finished tied with Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead in receptions while also setting the pace in targets for the Patriots on the night. The speedy fourth-year pro's elevated role seemed to be largely the byproduct of A.J. Brown's exit from the game on the first possession of the second half due to an ankle injury, which underscores the fact Douglas' week-to-week production is likely to remain volatile over the course of the season. However, if Brown, who Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports left the locker room wearing a walking boot Wednesday, misses any time, Douglas would be in line for additional snaps and targets.

Hollins secured four of five targets for 51 yards in the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.

The veteran wideout was listed as No. 4 on the depth chart heading into the season opener, but Hollins finished as the team leader in receiving yards on the night. Hollins also had a team-high 19-yard reception, and he became much more of a factor after A.J. Brown went down early in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Brown exited the locker room donning a walking boot per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, so Hollins could be tasked with an elevated role again in the Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Doubs failed to bring in any of his three targets during the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.

The veteran offseason addition had a highly inauspicious debut, despite the fact he'd frequently impressed this summer and the Patriots lost A.J. Brown to an ankle injury on the first possession of the second half. Doubs was also the intended receiver on Drake Maye's first interception of the night, getting outleapt for a long pass by Nehemiah Pritchett early in the fourth quarter. Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports Brown was seen exiting the Patriots' locker room with a walking boot following Wednesday's game, so Doubs could be pressed into an elevated role for the Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20, despite his poor showing.
