  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Expected to be available Sunday

    Egbuka (hip/groin) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Egbuka took a questionable tag into the weekend after practicing just once (as a limited participant) this week, but the rookie wideout is trending toward being available versus New York. In any case, confirmation of Egbuka's Week 3 status will arrive when Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • DeAndre Carter WR | CLE

    Browns' DeAndre Carter: Cleared for Sunday

    Carter has cleared concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Carter had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday. Now that he's gained clearance to play Sunday, the 32-year-old will be available in Week 3 as a depth wideout and key returner for the Browns.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Won't play Sunday

    Worthy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

    Worthy will not travel with the team for the contest, so his return to action is on hold for now. In his continued absence, Hollywood Brown, Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster are once again slated to see added WR snaps for the Chiefs, while Jalen Royals (knee, questionable) could join the mix as well in Week 3.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Not expected to play Sunday

    Worthy (shoulder) isn't expected to play Sunday night against the Giants, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

    Though Worthy was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, it appears as though the Chiefs are inclined to err on the side of caution with the wideout. Assuming he is ruled inactive Sunday, Hollywood Brown, Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster would continue to see added WR snaps in Week 3, with Jalen Royals (knee, questionable) possibly joining the mix as well.

  • 49ers' Jordan Watkins: Could be headed for lengthy absence

    Watkins (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Matt Barrows of The Athleticreports.

    Watkins was added to the injury report Thursday and was quickly ruled out for Sunday's game. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated the injury is a long-term issue, and Watkins is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

  • Cody White WR | SEA

    Cody White: Bounced back to practice squad

    The Seahawks released White but signed him back to the practice squad Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    White has had a whirlwind week, as he was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Wednesday. He'll now return to the practice squad, and he is a candidate to be elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Questionable for Week 3

    Oliver (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Oliver suffered a knee injury in Week 2 and has not practiced in any capacity throughout the week. While he's officially listed as questionable, his practice participation doesn't bode well for him suiting up.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Deemed questionable for Week 3

    Jennings (ankle/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Jennings didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and wasn't spotted by reporters at Friday's session. It's not looking great right now, but the 49ers could treat Jennings as a game-day decision ahead of their 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. If Jennings doesn't play, Ricky Pearsall will project for a larger target share, while veteran wideouts Kendrick Bourne, Russell Gage, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore take on Jennings' vacated snaps.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Cleared to play

    Berrios (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Berrios is set to make his season debut after missing the first two games with a hamstring issue. He's unlikely to see much action on offense, but Berrios could handle some kickoff and punt returns.

  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Good to go

    Horton (groin) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp have accounted for 67.3 percent of Seattle's targets through two weeks, but Horton found a way to chip in during last Sunday's 31-17 win at Pittsburgh, scoring from 21 yards out on his first NFL catch. The Seahawks likely won't expect much more from him than the occasional big play, unless Smith-Njigba or Kupp misses time with an injury. For Week 3, the rookie figures to handle his usual role as the No. 3 wide receiver in Seattle.
