Pryor (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

With Pryor hurting and Quincy Enunwa (ankle) slated to miss time, Jermaine Kearse and Robby Anderson profile as the Jets' top healthy wideouts as Sunday's game against the Vikings approaches. With depth at the position a concern, the team is reportedly kicking the tires on both Rishard Matthews and Corey Coleman.

Cain (knee) relayed Wednesday that he's "ahead of schedule" in his rehab from surgery to repair a torn ACL, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The rookie sixth-round pick suffered the season-ending injury during the exhibition slate, resulting in his placement on injured reserve in August. Though he won't get a chance to contribute for the Colts this season, the fact that he's progressing quicker than anticipated suggests that he might be ready to go for OTAs next spring. Even if that timeline proves too ambitious, the wideout should be running and cutting without limitations by the time training camp arrives.

Sutton caught three of four targets for 58 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Rams.

Coming off a missed Los Angeles field goal in the fourth quarter, Case Keenum found Sutton down the left sideline for a 41-yard gain, setting up a field goal that put Denver within a score. Five of Sutton's 13 catches on the season have gone for at least 20 yards, and he ranks 10th in the entire league at 16.8 yards per catch. Despite some warts, the Arizona defense Sutton faces off against Thursday has actually been strong in keeping receivers in front of them, ranking ninth in the league with 10.8 yards per opponent reception.

Moore caught all three of his targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 21-0 win over Tennessee.

It was a season high in catches for Moore, but he was unable to do much with them. He's averaging just 8.1 yards per reception. There isn't much opportunity for down-the-totem-pole receivers like Moore in a Ravens offense that likes to throw to the running backs and tight ends, but a favorable matchup awaits Sunday against a Saints pass defense ranked 30th in the league with 313.4 opponent receiving yards per game.

Washington did not catch his lone target during Sunday's 28-21 win over Cincinnati.

The rookie second-round pick has now failed to record a catch in consecutive games. He still seems a little off with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, snagging just 36 percent of his targets this season. That rate doesn't figure to improve much following the bye. Cleveland boasts the league's second-best opponent passer rating.

Holmes caught one of two targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to Houston.

Holmes has now caught one or no passes in four of six games and with Josh Allen (elbow) out for at least a few weeks and either newcomer Derek Anderson or turnover machine Nathan Peterman taking his place, things don't look likely to improve. The good news is that a relatively friendly matchup against Indianapolis' bottom-third pass defense awaits Sunday.

Armstrong caught his lone target during Sunday's 20-13 loss to Houston, gaining two yards. He fumbled twice during the contest, losing one.

McCloud had two big special-teams snafus early during Sunday's game, fumbling the opening kickoff -- which Buffalo recovered -- and then muffing a punt that set up the Texans to score the game's first touchdown. He was then relieved of his return duties for the rest of the game. On offense, he has yet to gain 10 yards in a game so far. With Buffalo entering quarterbacking uncertainty for the next few weeks, McCloud's value should drop even lower despite Sunday's matchup against an Indianapolis pass defense that ranks in the bottom third of the league.

Erickson caught two of three targets for eight yards during Sunday's 28-21 loss to Pittsburgh.

Erickson has now seen three targets in each of the past two games following just two in the first month of the season. The targets coincide with the absence of tight ends Tyler Eifert (ankle) and Tyler Kroft (foot), the former ending up on injured reserve. With a thinner tight end group, down-the-roster receivers such as Erickson become more valuable. Erickson has converted his targets into a measly 6.7-yards-per-catch average thus far this season but takes on a Kansas City defense Sunday that ranks 24th in the league with a 12.5 opponent yards-per-catch average.

Gage caught his first career pass during Sunday's 34-29 win over Tampa Bay, a 9-yard gain.

Gage's grab off a quick pass helped set up a fourth-quarter touchdown run for Tevin Coleman. A knee injury kept the rookie out of the lineup earlier this season, and with Atlanta's depth at receiver, it seems unlikely that he'll get many opportunities to contribute. Even if he was given more chances, Monday's matchup with the Giants' 12th-ranked pass defense figures to offer challenges.

Brown (concussion) was waived from injured reserve Tuesday.

Brown was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 1. The 27-year-old receiver last played in a regular-season game for the Ravens in 2015.
