Renfrow caught one of five targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Bears.

Renfrow had loftier expectations than usual heading into a tough Week 5 matchup against the Bears with fellow receivers Tyrell Williams (foot), J.J. Nelson (knee) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) sidelined, but the Clemson product managed to haul in just one pass in 42 offensive snaps. Trevor Davis led the WR corps in both playing time and production with 42 yards on four catches, but while backup tight end Foster Moreau also vultured a quartet of receptions for 46 yards of his own. As the Raiders' bye approaches, expect a healthier contingent of pass catchers the next time Oakland takes the field Week 7 against the Packers

Jones logged a tryout with the Packers on Monday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

He was a roster casualty of the Giants last week in order to make room for Golden Tate, but as evidenced by this news, Jones is getting looks elsewhere. The 27-year-old played three games this season with New York, hauling in three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in that span. Jones has had a history in the league, so he certainly makes for an intriguing option to provide receiver depth.

Rogers worked out for the Ravens on Monday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

Rogers was unable to make the Steelers out of camp, but as evidenced by this news, he's getting some looks elsewhere. The 26-year-old could be a prime depth receiver or practice squad option and is coming off a modest 12-catch season in 2018.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Kirk (ankle) could practice this week, but the team will remain "safe" with his recovery, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Kirk didn't practice last week after sustaining the ankle injury Week 4 against the Bengals, but he appears to have avoided a more serious injury. The 22-year-old hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but it sounds as though the team may remain cautious and wait until at least Week 7 for his return. Kirk certainly could change that outlook with significant progress at practice this week.

Dorsett (hamstring) was projected as a non-participant on Monday's injury report, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

The 26-year-old's hamstring injury isn't believed to be serious, but he'll have a tough time returning on a short week with the Patriots facing the Giants on Thursday. Dorsett likely will need to be listed as a limited participant Tuesday or Wednesday to have a real chance of suiting up.

Shepard suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Vikings, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Shepard caught five of 10 targets for 49 yards and appeared to escape the contest unscathed after being evaluated for a head injury and returning to the game, but he demonstrated concussion symptoms when evaluated Monday morning. It's already the 25-year-old's second concussion of the season as he was also forced to miss Week 2, but he could be looking at a more extended absence this time around. It seems extremely unlikely Shepard will clear the concussion protocol in time for Thursday's game against the Patriots. Cody Latimer and Darius Slayton figure to see increased roles in his absence.

Coach John Harbaugh said the ankle injury Brown suffered Sunday was "nothing serious" and shouldn't impact him going forward, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Brown was considered questionable to return after suffering the injury and did retake the field during the second half, but it's nonetheless good news to hear there are no further issues. The rookie first-round pick still could end up limited when the Ravens return to practice Wednesday, but it shouldn't impact his availability for Week 6.

Isabella rushed twice for 11 yards during Sunday's 26-23 victory at Cincinnati.

With Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) sidelined, Isabella got 13 percent of the offensive snaps for a second consecutive game. And for the second contest in a row, Isabella's only touches were carries. As a 2019 second-rounder, Isabella still is waiting for his first career target, which will be even more difficult to attain if one or both of Kirk and Byrd return Sunday against the Falcons.

Cain had one reception for seven yards on his lone target in Sunday's win at Kansas City.

Cain tied Zach Pascal for the most snaps among non-T.Y. Hilton receivers, but again put up meager production despite ample playing time. None of the receivers other than Hilton look like viable options in most formats given how the Colts spread out the few non-Hilton receiver targets. The non-Hilton receivers had a combined two receptions in Sunday's game.

Lazard played one snap on offense in Sunday's victory over the Cowboys.

Lazard's snap count increased the previous three games, but it dove drastically in Week 5, even with fellow wideout Davante Adams (toe) unable to take the field. Lazard was among the leaders in special teams snaps Sunday, and he figures to continue working mainly in that role.
