Williams didn't record any offensive stats during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Williams had a quiet outing during his regular-season debut, failing to record any targets across 10 offensive snaps. The rookie sixth-round pick also played six snaps on special teams and will likely continue to see limited usage going forward.

Szmyt made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Szmyt provided the team with their first points of the regular season, knocking through a 26-yard field goal with 8:31 left in the third quarter. With Cleveland expected to be in for a long year, the kicker is likely on track to have limited opportunities this season.

Sanders caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and added one carry for one yard in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars. He also returned three kickoffs for 130 yards.

Sanders had an opportunity to mix into the offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) sustained an injury during the Week 1 contest. Sanders played 18 of the 51 offensive snaps for the Browns while also making an impact with his trio of kickoff returns. Quinshon Judkins remains the unquestioned leader of the Browns' ground attack, but Sanders would be in line to serve as his primary backup in a Week 2 road matchup against the Buccaneers if Sampson remains sidelined.

Williams hauled in all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during the Commanders' 24-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Williams played only 26 of 70 offensive snaps (37.1 percent), which was fourth most among Commanders wide receivers in Sunday's loss. However, the rookie third-rounder ended up leading the Commanders in receiving yards while finishing second behind veteran Stefon Diggs in targets (nine). Williams was close to scoring on his first NFL catch for 16 yards late in the second quarter, falling short of the goal line before Jacory Croskey-Merritt punched the ball in on a one-yard rushing touchdown on the next play. Williams followed that up with a 33-yard catch early in the fourth quarter before hauling in a one-yard touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels late in the frame. It was an encouraging NFL debut from Williams, who may have benefited from the Eagles secondary focusing on limiting Terry McLaurin, though the former may have shown enough against Philadelphia to warrant additional playing time moving forward. The Commanders will stay on the road for their Week 2 clash against the Cowboys on Sept. 20.

Shrader converted his only field-goal attempt and two of his three extra-point tries during Indianapolis' loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Shrader's lone make came from 58 yards out, which was a new career long for the 27-year-old. He spent time with three different teams across the last two seasons before beating out Blake Grupe for the Colts' kicking job during training camp, and Shrader will look to keep producing as the season goes on.

Taylor-Britt's one-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy was lifted Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Taylor-Britt was forced to sit out Indianapolis' Week 1 loss to the Ravens, but he's now on track to be available for Week 2 at Kansas City. He figures to play in a rotational role in the Colts' secondary in 2026.

Hibner caught his only target for 13 yards in the Ravens' 41-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Hibner played 23 offensive snaps in the contest, shifting into the offense when the Ravens lined up for 13-personnel packages. The fourth-round rookie also played nine special-teams snaps, displaying his versatility.

McGowan caught his only target for no gain and notched 164 yards on five kickoff returns during Sunday's 41-23 loss to the Ravens.

McGowan was only on the field for six of the team's 54 offensive snaps while operating as the top reserve option at running back behind Jonathan Taylor. McGowan definitely made his mark on special teams during the contest, but as long as Taylor is healthy, the former will likely have a limited impact on offense.

Carlson made one of two field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss at Detroit.

Carlson's last field-goal try of the day came on the last play of regulation with the score tied 24-24, and he pushed the 62-yarder just a bit wide to the right. His make was a 28-yard chip shot in the middle of the fourth quarter. He has struggled somewhat attempting longer kicks in recent years, but he'll be looking to bounce back in a Week 2 matchup at Baltimore.

Noel recorded two catches for 53 yards and three kickoff returns for 70 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

The wide receiver played on 24 of 79 offensive snaps and six more on special teams. Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte all played on more offensive snaps for the Texans. Noel, though, seems secure in his role as kick and punt returner, as he also had a fair catch on a punt during the defeat.
