Worthy (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

According to coach Andy Reid, Worthy -- who suffered a right shoulder injury during Week 1 action -- is doing better and making progress, while surgery currently isn't under consideration for the wideout. As this stage, however, Worthy's status for Sunday's game against the Eagles remains cloudy, and in that context Hollywood Brown is the Chiefs' top healthy and available WR. In the event that both Worthy and Jalen Royals (knee) are sidelined this weekend, added snaps would be available for JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Robinson (ankle) will not practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Robinson played 76 percent of New York's offensive snaps during the Giants' 21-6 loss to the Commanders in Week 1, in which he secured six of eight targets for 55 yards, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury in the process. Daboll downplayed the severity of Robinson's injury, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, so as long as the No. 2 receiver is able to return to practice Thursday and/or Friday he should have a good chance to suit up Sunday on the road against Dallas. Russell Wilson has been confirmed as the starter again for Week 2, but if the Giants' offense isn't able to improve notably after having been limited to just 168 passing yards Week 1, the team could soon consider a shift to rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart.

The Jets signed Williams off the Bengals' practice squad Wednesday.

The second-year wideout spent time with the Bengals and Lions in 2024, catching two of his three targets for six yards and recording 169 kick-return yards over eight total appearances. With New York waiving Xavier Gipson on Wednesday and Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) potentially sidelined, Williams now will be an option to return kicks in the Jets' Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (back) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Nabers' practice reps simply seem to be being managed, as he was limited in practice last Friday before being fully cleared to suit up for New York's 21-6 loss to the Commanders, in which he secured five of 12 targets for 71 yards. There's not yet any reason to believe that Nabers' status for Week 2 against the Cowboys on Sunday is truly in any jeopardy. The state of the Giants' passing game is a larger concern for Nabers, as Russell Wilson managed just 168 passing yards on 37 attempts Week 1. Nabers' playmaking ability and target volume will assist in keeping his fantasy value stable, but while Wilson has been confirmed as the starter again Week 2, if this offense doesn't improve quickly, a shift under center to rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart may happen sooner than later.

Gipson was waived by the Jets on Wednesday.

Gipson was expected to be dropped by the Jets on Wednesday as reported by Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, and the move has now been made official. Over 35 career games with the Jets, Gipson caught 27 of his 48 targets for 268 yards and one touchdown. Additionally, he tallied 1,142 kick-return yards and 604 punt-return yards, though he also fumbled 10 times. The 24-year-old could draw interest from teams seeking help in the return game.

The Jets are expected to waive Gipson on Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The undrafted wideout from Stephen F. Austin has served as one of the Jets' top return men since entering the league in 2023. However, his costly fumble while filling in for Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) on a kickoff return in New York's opening week loss to the Steelers likely prompted the team to move in another direction. With Gipson set to be waived, Isaiah Davis is expected to take over as the Jets' top punt returner.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said that Mooney (shoulder) is slated to practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Mooney sat out Week 1 after logging a trio of limited practices leading up to Atlanta's narrow 23-20 season-opening loss to the Buccaneers. He seems likely to be limited again Wednesday, with his Week 2 status potentially resting on an ability to upgrade to 'full' practice reps Thursday or Friday. With Drake London (shoulder) having been forced out early Week 1 and now up-in-the-air for Sunday night's road game against the Vikings, Mooney's status will be increasingly pivotal to Michael Penix and Atlanta's aerial attack.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that London (shoulder) will participate in practice and is expected to suit up Sunday night versus the Vikings, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Morris said, "I do expect [London] to play," but he cautioned, "That's not saying he is." Atlanta will wait to make a decision on London's status for Week 2 until the coaching staff has been able to evaluate him throughout a full series of practices, but Morris' optimism at least confirms that the star wideout has avoided a severe injury. London brought in eight of 15 targets for 55 yards during the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 1. Fellow starting wideout Darnell Mooney (shoulder), who was unavailable against Tampa Bay, is also practicing Wednesday.

Moore caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

Moore was not a significant part of the Bills' offensive game plan in Week 1. The veteran played just 12 offensive snaps in the contest, the fewest of any wideout who saw action Sunday. Currently sitting at fourth on the wide receiver depth chart behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer, Moore faces an uphill battle for playing time this season. The 25-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Jets.

Palmer caught five of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

Palmer played a solid 62 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps Sunday while operating as Buffalo's No. 3 wide receiver behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir, who finished with snap percentages of 88 and 75 percent, respectively. Additionally, the veteran wideout's nine targets were tied for the second-highest total among all Bills pass catchers. Though he may be an inconsistent producer based on his role in an offense flush with playmakers, Palmer proved that he is a trusted target of Josh Allen in his regular season debut with Buffalo. Palmer will look to build upon his performance when the Bills visit the Jets in Week 2.
