Egbuka (hip/groin) was present for practice Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Egbuka was deemed a non-participant both Wednesday and Thursday, so his presence at Friday's session is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. The Buccaneers' upcoming practice/injury report will reveal both the wideout's participation level as well as whether he carries a Week 3 injury designation into the weekend.

Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Reynolds (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

With Reynolds set to miss his second straight game, Garrett Wilson will continue to lead the Jets' pass-catching corps Sunday, with Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard available to handle WR targets from QB Tyrod Taylor that don't go Wilson's way. Reynolds' next chance to see game action will arrive Monday, Sept. 29 against the Dolphins.

Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.

Westbrook-Ikhine played just 25 percent of offensive snaps Thursday, again working clearly behind No. 3 receiver Malik Washington, who had five targets and carried the ball twice while handling 54 percent of snaps. Until such time as Westbrook-Ikhine demonstrates more involvement on offense, he won't warrant fantasy consideration except in the deepest of formats. He figures to continue handling the No. 4 receiver role versus the Jets in Week 4.

Washington secured three of five targets for 12 yards and carried the ball twice for 20 yards during Thursday's 31-21 loss to Buffalo.

Washington continues to operate as the clear No. 3 receiver in Miami behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, handling a versatile role that has yet to translate into significant fantasy value. His only touchdown on the season thus far came in the form of a special teams play Week 2. Outside of deeper fantasy formats, Washington will likely remain off the fantasy radar as a speculative option in weekly lineups unless one of Hill or Waddle ends up missing time. Washington projects to continue operating ahead of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine against the Jets in Week 4.

Thrash caught both of his targets for 11 yards over the first two games of the 2025 season.

Thrash was targeted once in each game and played 21 snaps Week 1 followed by 20 in Week 2. Cleveland's offense was not expected to be in sync this early in the season, and it's still finding itself behind 40-year-old quarterback Joe Flacco, who has been under pressure the first two weeks. Thrash is in the mix along with Isaiah Bond (four targets) behind the top two wideouts, Jerry Jeudy (16) and Cedric Tillman (15). The one significant offensive spark thus far in 2025 was a 31-yard run by running back Quinshon Judkins late in last week's lopsided loss. The Browns will likely try to get their running game going Week 3, which could lead to a more productive passing attack and opportunities for Thrash.

Coleman secured three of four targets for 20 yards in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

The second-year wideout was tied for third in receptions for the Bills on the night, but that led to a very modest yardage total. Coleman got his season off to a memorable start with an 8-112-1 line against the Ravens in Buffalo's wild Week 1 win, but he sports a combined 6-46-0 tally on seven targets over the subsequent pair of contests. The Bills haven't been forced to be anywhere near as aggressive as in the opener against Baltimore, however, so Coleman retains plenty of upside in the right game environment. Nevertheless, a Week 4 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 28 could be another low-volume day for the air attack.

Shakir brought in all four targets for 45 yards and a touchdown during the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

The highlight of Shakir's night was a tie-breaking 15-yard touchdown grab just after the halfway point of the fourth quarter, a play on which he went in motion before reversing course at the snap, catching a swing pass out of the backfield and scooting up the left side of the field into the end zone. Shakir's receiving line represented a decent resurgence after he was limited to one catch for 12 yards against the Jets in Week 2, and he'll remain one of Josh Allen's primary targets in a Week 4 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 28.

Waddle brought in five of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-21 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Waddle went into pregame warmups uncertain to play due to a shoulder issue, but he finished tied with Tyreek Hill for first in receptions among the Dolphins' wideouts. Like his teammate, Waddle also got into the end zone, scoring on a three-yard grab just before halftime to erase a 14-7 deficit. Waddle has at least four receptions in each of the Dolphins' first three games and now has scored in two straight, but he's averaging just 9.8 yards per catch heading into a Week 4 Monday night home divisional clash against the Jets on Sept. 29.

Hill secured five of 10 targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-21 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Hill led the Dolphins in targets and receiving yards on the night, adding his first touchdown catch of the season on a five-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. The mercurial speedster has logged 23 targets through three games and parlayed them into a 15-198-1 line, but Tua Tagovailoa's overall struggles and the general malaise that's seemingly befallen the Dolphins keeps Hill's fantasy outlook somewhat murky heading into a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Monday night, Sept. 29, a game where he's likely to see plenty of Sauce Gardner's coverage.

Watkins (calf) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Watkins popped up on the injury report Thursday with an apparent calf issue, and his status for Week 3 is now uncertain. The wide receiver will look to log a full practice Friday and play Sunday versus the Cardinals.
