  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Another limited practice Thursday

    Worthy (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Following back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Worthy is trending toward a return to game action Sunday night against the Giants. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the wideout carries an injury designation into the weekend, but the potential return of Worthy looms large for the Chiefs, who are without fellow WR Rashee Rice (suspension) through Week 6.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Limited again

    Kirk (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Kirk has now logged back-to-back limited sessions after taking the practice field for the first time this season Wednesday. The veteran appears primed for a starting role alongside Nico Collins in Houston's wide receiver corps, once fully healthy. He'll work to gain clearance in time to make his team debut Sunday on the road against Jacksonville, though to avoid an injury designation for Week 3 he'll likely need to upgrade to full practice reps Friday.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Limited again Thursday

    Godwin (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

    This marks Godwin's first back-to-back practices since dislocating his left ankle Week 7 of last season, indicating his conditioning is improving as he seeks to return to action. Friday's injury report will reveal if he has a chance to suit up Sunday versus the Jets, but if he doesn't and because rookie standout Emeka Egbuka (hip/groin) has yet to take part in drills this week, the Buccaneers could be forced to roll with Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Ryan Miller and Kameron Johnson as the wide receivers not named Mike Evans in Week 3.

  • Jalen Royals WR | KC

    Chiefs' Jalen Royals: Upgrades to full practice

    Royals (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Royals' knee injury kept him sidelined for Kansas City's first two games of the regular season, but he looks ready to take the field Sunday night on the road against the Giants. The rookie fourth-round pick will bolster a receiving corps that may also return Xavier Worthy (shoulder) in Week 3.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Jets' Josh Reynolds: Sidelined again Thursday

    Reynolds (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Reynolds has now missed back-to-back practices due to the hamstring injury that forced him to sit out the Jets' loss to the Bills in Week 2. Unless he's able to retake the practice field Friday, Reynolds looks on track to miss Sunday's road game against the Buccaneers.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Logs full practice

    Downs (ankle) returned to a full practice Thursday.

    Downs sat out Wednesday's practice, but his ability to handle every rep a day later sets the stage for the wideout to be available this weekend against the Titans. After seeing just three targets Week 1, Downs logged a 6-51-0 stat line on eight targets in this past Sunday's 29-28 win over the Broncos. On most weeks, the 2023 third-rounder should see enough volume to be worthy of consideration in PPR formats, but with fellow WRs Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce and TE Tyler Warren (toe) also in the pass-catching mix, Downs has some notable competition for the attention of QB Daniel Jones.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: DNP again Thursday

    Egbuka (hip/groin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    After missing Wednesday's session due to hip and groin injuries, Egbuka was expected to mix into at least some drills Thursday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. However, that didn't happen, meaning Egbuka has just one more chance to prove his health on the practice field this week. Friday's injury report will signal whether or not the rookie first-round pick is in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Jets.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | ATL

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Practices in full

    Mooney (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Mooney was limited in practice Wednesday after having made his season debut Week 2 versus the Vikings, in which he handled 86 percent of offensive snaps and secured two of four targets for 20 yards. To see Mooney now practicing in full offers confirmation that he'll be available Sunday on the road against Carolina. Mooney will look to get more involved versus the Panthers, though he may have difficulty delivering fantasy value in what's been a run-first Atlanta offense through the first two games of the season.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Limited again Thursday

    Robinson (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Robinson continues to nurse a foot injury he evidently sustained during New York's loss to Dallas in Week 2. As long as he's able to log at least limited reps again Friday, though, Robinson seems like a solid candidate to gain clearance in time for Sunday night's home game against the Chiefs. Robinson has commanded a total of 18 targets across two regular-season appearances so far, and in Week 2 he translated 10 of those looks into a tremendous 8-142-1 receiving line.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Logs another limited session

    Slayton (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Slayton's final chance to upgrade to full practice reps will come Friday, but after back-to-back limited sessions it appears he has a solid chance to suit up Sunday night versus the Chiefs. If cleared to play Week 3, Slayton will continue operating as the No. 3 receiver behind Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson (foot) for New York.
