Worthy (shoulder) is slated to work in some capacity during Thursday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Worthy didn't practice Wednesday, so any level of participation a day later would improve his chances of being able to play Sunday against the Eagles. Either way, unless the wideout is deemed a full practice participant by Friday, he figures to head into the weekend with a Week 2 injury designation.

Robinson (ankle) participated in Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Robinson was held out of drills Wednesday, which was three days removed from handling 52 of 68 offensive snaps, running 32 routes and racking up six catches (on eight targets) for 55 yards during this past Sunday's 21-6 loss at Washington. Top WR Malik Nabers (back) opened this week as limited and is expected to be a full participant Thursday, but it remains to be seen if Robinson also will be unhindered in the Giants' second session of Week 2 prep.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Godwin (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Bowles also told Brianna Dix of the team's official site that the Buccaneers "will see how [Godwin and Tristan Wirfs (knee)] come along during the week," as both players "have a lot of tests to pass." Godwin got back on the practice field Thursday for the first time since dislocating his left ankle Week 7 of last season, and while he avoided the reserve/PUP list to begin the current campaign, the expectation for Godwin in particular was to give him a chance to return to game action by the end of September. Still, Tampa Bay seemingly is keeping the door open for Godwin to suit up Monday at Houston, assuming he clears the aforementioned hurdles.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (back) will be a full practice participant Thursday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Nabers opened Week 2 prep Wednesday as a limited participant while he managed some back tightness, which had previously cropped up in training camp before rearing its head again last Friday. Despite being held out of drills in the final Week 1 practice session, Nabers headed into last Sunday's game against the Commanders without an injury designation and played 64 of 68 offensive snaps in the 21-6 loss en route to a 5-71-0 receiving line on 12 targets. The second-year wideout appears to have emerged from the season opener without any setbacks, so his limitations Wednesday were most likely maintenance-related. Nabers should be ready to handle a full workload and will be locked in as quarterback Russell Wilson's top target for this Sunday's game in Dallas.

Godwin (ankle) is expected to practice Thursday in a limited fashion, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Assuming Godwin does in fact go down as a limited participant on the Buccaneers' first Week 2 practice report, it would mark the wideout's first on-field work since he dislocated his left ankle in an Oct. 21 game against the Ravens. After undergoing an initial surgery in October, Godwin required a more minor secondary procedure in the spring to fix some of the hardware in the ankle. Ian Rapoport and Judy Battista of NFL Network previously reported Sunday that Godwin isn't expected to be ready to make his 2025 debut until at least the Buccaneers' Week 5 matchup with the Seahawks on Oct. 5, but Tampa Bay's decision not to place the receiver on injured reserve will allow him to practice with the team until he's deemed ready for game action. According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Godwin is expected to take part in two of the Buccaneers' three practices this week, but he could ramp up his activity further in Week 3.

Dortch hauled in his only target for minus-2 yards, returned three punts for 30 yards, had two kick returns for 44 yards and recorded a tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's 20-13 victory at New Orleans.

Dortch was busy on his limited snap count (10 on offense, nine on special teams), but his offensive snap share (15 percent) was a distant fourth among Cardinals wide receivers behind Marvin Harrison (89 percent), Michael Wilson (67 percent) and Zay Jones (47 percent). Most of Dortch's weekly contributions in 2025 are expected to come outside the offense as long as the aforementioned trio are healthy and available.

Jones caught his only target for four yards during Sunday's 20-13 win in New Orleans.

Jones ranked third among Cardinals wide receivers in offensive snap share with 47 percent behind Marvin Harrison (89 percent) and Michael Wilson (67 percent). Unsurprisingly, Harrison led the way with 5-71-1 on six targets, while Jones nearly matched Wilson's 1-5-0 line (on four targets). In an offense dominated by TE Trey McBride, Harrison and RB James Conner when it comes to looks from QB Kyler Murray, Jones is merely provided with scraps with which to produce.

Wilson gathered in one of four targets for five yards during Sunday's 20-13 win at New Orleans.

Wilson was on the field for 44 of 66 offensive snaps (67 percent), but his 26 routes run yielded little, while top wide receiver Marvin Harrison's 32 routes resulted in a 5-71-1 line on six targets on an 89 percent snap share. At the same time, No. 3 WR Zay Jones (1-4-0) nearly matched Wilson's output on one target and a 47 percent share of plays. The Cardinals consolidate most of the targets among TE Trey McBride (nine on Sunday), Harrison and RB James Conner (four), so Wilson has his work cut out for him to produce weekly.

Watkins (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Watkins did not play in the team's 17-13 win over the Seahawks in Week 1 due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered during the preseason. The wide receiver was able to practice in a limited capacity last week, and he has now opened this week where he left off.

Young (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Young was unable to play in the Seahawks' regular-season opener against the 49ers this past Sunday due to a hamstring injury. He has two more chances this week to upgrade his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Seattle's Week 2 clash against Pittsburgh. The 2022 seventh-rounder worked mostly on special teams last year and will likely reprise that role this season.
