Coach Sean McVay is optimistic about Kupp's chances of getting through the concussion protocol in time for Sunday's game at Denver, J.B. Long of ESPN Los Angeles reports.

Both Kupp and Brandin Cooks were diagnosed with concussions during Sunday's win at Seattle. Such injuries have to be taken case by case, so McVay's comments need to be taken with a grain of salt. An appearance at practice Wednesday or Thursday would boost the prospects of either wideout, but until the Rams are required to turn in a Week 6 injury report, it'll be difficult to forecast whether or not Kupp has a chance to play this coming Sunday.

Gibson reeled in his only target for 48 yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Vikings.

Gibson caught the deep ball, his first catch of the year, early in the second quarter to get the Eagles into Minnesota territory and set up a field goal. While the 23-year-old tripled his playing time for the second consecutive week, that amounted to just nine offensive snaps on the day. Perhaps the big gain will lead to more playing time Week 6 against the Giants.

Floyd is active for Monday's contest in New Orleans, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

In his second chance to do so with the Redskins, Floyd is poised to earn snaps, and while Paul Richardson is blocking his path to reps as a Z receiver, Floyd may get in on the act at X receiver in the absence of Josh Doctson (heel). No matter, Floyd will have to contend with Maurice Harris for reps at that spot, capping his potential due to a lack of guaranteed work.

Chark caught two of four targets for 68 yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Chiefs.

Chark was involved early with 38- and 30-yard receptions in the first half, but he was unable to secure his other two targets.QB Blake Bortles looked his way in the red zone late in the fourth quarter, but the pass was intercepted. Sunday could be a big first step for Chark, as it was the first time this season where he was actually a factor in the offense. The 22-year-old remains the No. 4 wide receiver -- as he still played only 25 of 83 offensive snaps -- but Sunday's performance could prove to be an important building block for the young receiver.

Moore caught one of two passes for 20 yards in Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Browns.

Moore was on the field for 26 percent (23 of 87) of Baltimore's offensive snaps Sunday, and his two targets were his most since Week 2. Barring an injury to one of the Ravens' top three receivers, Moore doesn't figure to have much of a role going forward. He has just five catches for 53 yards this season.

Pettis (knee) has been ruled out for Week 6, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Pettis will miss his second straight game with a knee injury suffered against the Chargers on Sept. 30. With Marquise Goodwin (hamstring/quadriceps) banged up as well, the 49ers could be short on receiving options entering Monday's game. For what it is worth, Trent Taylor and Kendrick Bourne saw significant passing game work without Pettis or Goodwin on the field, combining for 11 catches on 15 targets Sunday against the Cardinals.

Cole caught four of 10 passes for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Chiefs.

Cole put up respectable numbers on a Sunday in which QB Blake Bortles completed 54 percent of his passes and threw four interceptions while totaling 430 yards passing against a subpar Chiefs defense. The 25-year-old had 116 yards receiving with a touchdown Week 2 but has otherwise been an inconsistent factor, despite the offense's recent reliance on the passing game. Opportunities are likely to remain plentiful if RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is forced to sit out against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Agholor caught all four of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Vikings.

Despite seeing fewer opportunities than he had all year, Agholor still gained more receiving yards for the Eagles than anyone not named Zach Ertz. However, Ertz and Alshon Jeffery saw a combined 19 targets in the contest, dwarfing the 25-year-old's total. Agholor has made at least four catches in every game this season but has only produced more than 45 yards once so far. He'll try to break out against the Giants in Week 6.

Moore caught all four of his targets for 49 yards and rushed once for 18 yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Giants.

Moore trailed only Devin Funchess in receiving yards and only Christian McCaffrey in catches, moving him in the right direction following Carolina's bye week. The rookie first-rounder played just over 40 percent of the offensive snaps, so there's definitely still room for his role to grow if he continues to make strides.

The Cardinals signed Wright to a one-year contract Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

A roster casualty of the Vikings on cut-down day Sept. 1, Wright worked out for a number of teams in the meantime, finally landing a new opportunity with the Cardinals. He's done most of his damage out of the slot in his career, so he may be hard-pressed to see the field with Larry Fitzgerald primarily working there in the latter stages of his career. However, Fitzgerald has been dealing with a hamstring injury for weeks, which could equate to regular snaps for Wright to ease the burden on the long-time Cardinal.
