  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Mecole Hardman: Let go from GB practice squad

    The Packers cut Hardman from the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Hardman elected to stay in Green Bay on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was not elevated to the active roster in any of the first three games of the season, and the 2019 second-rounder will now be on the lookout for a team in need of depth at wide receiver.

  • Deven Thompkins: Signed to Atlanta's practice squad

    The Falcons signed Thompkins to the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Since entering the league in 2022 as an undrafted free agent, Thompkins has mostly served in a return role on special teams, having returned 33 kickoffs for 724 yards and 36 punts for 314 yards while adding 26 catches (on 39 targets) for 135 yards and one touchdown. Thompkins could be elevated to the active roster to serve in a return role for Sunday's game against the Commanders if Jamal Agnew (groin) is unable to play.

  • Cody White WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cody White: Back with Hawks' active roster

    The Seahawks signed White from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    White has bounced back and forth between the Seahawks' practice squad and active roster, and Tuesday marked the second time in a week that he was signed to the 53-man roster. He played 11 snaps (five on offense, six on special teams) in the Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the 49ers and finished with 59 kick return yards on two attempts. White could serve in a kick return role alongside George Holani or Dareke Young now that he's back on the active roster.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Undergoing further tests on quad

    McLaurin will undergo further testing on his injured quadriceps, and his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons is up in the air, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    McLaurin posted a 3-74-0 receiving line on four targets across 35 offensive snaps against the Raiders this past Sunday but had to leave the game with the quad injury in the second half. If McLaurin is unable to play against Atlanta, the Commanders could be down to Deebo Samuel, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore at wide receiver, as Noah Brown (groin) didn't practice at all last week after being injured in Week 2 against Green Bay.

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Expected to miss multiple weeks

    Evans is expected to miss multiple weeks after injuring his hamstring in Sunday's win over the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Evans has been diagnosed with a moderate hamstring strain according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, sidelining him for three-to-four weeks. Evans' latest hamstring injury apparently isn't as severe as the one that cost him four weeks in 2024, however. First-round rookie Emeka Egbuka figures to vault into the WR1 role for the Bucs during Evans' absence, beginning in Week 4 against the Eagles. There's also a real chance Chris Godwin (ankle) makes his season debut against Philadelphia, with Sterling Shepard remaining in the slot role for Tampa Bay either way. Tez Johnson and Ryan Miller are next up on the depth chart at wide receiver.

  • Ravens' Devontez Walker: Makes long reception Monday

    Walker caught his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Monday's loss to the Lions.

    That catch marked the first reception of Walker's career that didn't result in a touchdown. Prior to Monday, all three of Walker's career receptions went for scores. Still, a 34-yard grab demonstrated Walker's downfield ability. Baltimore has a crowded target rotation with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews eating up nearly two-thirds of the opportunities, and Isaiah Likely (foot) potentially close to his season debut. Walker's snap share may continue to remain on the lower end even though he is showing some promise on his limited opportunities.

  • Tylan Wallace WR | BAL

    Ravens' Tylan Wallace: No catches Monday

    Wallace did not record a reception in Monday's loss to the Lions. He played 32 snaps and drew one target.

    The Ravens continue to give Wallace plenty of run but he is struggling to draw targets. In 75 snaps, Wallace has seen three combined targets. He had two catches for 25 yards and a touchdown against the Browns in Week 2, though that looks like an outlier given his usage patterns. His target rate remains low despite encouraging snap counts.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Playing time remains light

    Hopkins caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Monday's loss to the Lions.

    The veteran's snap share remains low despite his per-target productivity. Hopkins has caught five of six targets for 112 yards and two touchdowns through three games. He logged 14 snaps Monday, which amounted to just a quarter of the Ravens' offensive plays while Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace each played over 50 percent of the snaps. While Hopkins has shown he can still play at a high level so far, the low projected snap and target volume make him a difficult player to feel confident starting in redraft leagues.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: One reception against Commanders

    Bech caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

    Bech's lone reception came with the Raiders trailing by 17 in the third quarter, as the TCU product remains firmly in the WR4 role behind Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton. Bech has just two total catches through the first three weeks of the season, and his offensive involvement could be limited again Week 4 versus the Bears.

  • Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Four targets in Sunday's loss

    Thornton caught two of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

    Thornton matched Jakobi Meyers' four targets, but fellow wideout Tre Tucker erupted for an 8-145-3 receiving line on nine looks from quarterback Geno Smith, who produced 289 passing yards on just 19 completions in the Raiders' defeat. Thornton has been targeted exactly four times in each of Las Vegas' first three games, and he remains ahead of fellow rookie Jack Bech in the WR3 role with a Week 4 tilt against the Bears looming.
