KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Costly fumble during Thursday's loss
Turpin caught two of four passes for 22 yards during the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday. He also returned one punt for 10 yards and added 127 yards on five kickoff returns, fumbling on one of them.
Right after the Buccaneers took a 21-10 lead midway through the third quarter, Turpin gave the ball right back to Tampa Bay on the ensuing kickoff after the ball was stripped from his hands, which led to a 41-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin eight plays later. Turpins receiving numbers were all season highs, though that was largely due to top wideout CeeDee Lamb leaving the game due to a quad bruise. Given the extra rest, Lamb is expected to play against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18, so most of Turpin's on-field impact will continue to come on special teams as a returner.

Ted Hurst WR | TB
Buccaneers' Ted Hurst: Zero targets on TNF
Hurst did not record a target during the Buccaneers' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.
Hurst saw at least three targets in each of the first four games of the regular season, but he did not see a pass from Jalon Daniels during Thursday's game, and the former's 33 offensive snaps were a distant third among Bucs wideouts behind Emeka Egbuka (64) and Chris Godwin (63). Hurst will take an 8-128-1 receiving line (16 targets) into Tampa Bay's Week 6 home game against Pittsburgh, and for now, it looks like Daniels will remain as the starter while Baker Mayfield (thumb) continues to recover from his injury.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bills' DJ Moore: Spotted at practice Saturday
Moore (shoulder) was on the field for the start of Saturday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Moore was a non-participant in each of the Bills' first two practices of the week, so it's a positive sign for him to be on the field for Saturday's session. The Bills' injury report following practice will provide clarity on Moore's status for Monday night's road game against the Rams, and if the veteran wide receiver cannot play, then Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would serve as Buffalo's top wide receivers, with tight end Dalton Kincaid also in the mix for more targets from quarterback Josh Allen.

Davon Godchaux DT | NO
Saints' Davon Godchaux: Cleared to play vs. Minnesota
Godchaux (groin) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Godchaux tweaked his groin during the Saints' loss to the Falcons in Week 4. He ended Week 5 prep with a full practice Friday, which was enough for the veteran defensive lineman to fade an injury tag for Sunday's home game. Godchaux has 12 tackles (four solo) through the first four games of the regular season.

Charlie Kolar TE | LAC
Chargers' Charlie Kolar: Could return vs. Denver
Kolar (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Kolar was limited in practice all week due to a fractured forearm, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to draw the questionable tag after missing the Chargers' prior two games. Oronde Gadsden would continue to serve as the Chargers' top tight end if Kolar is unable to return.

Riley Moss CB | DEN
Broncos' Riley Moss: Ruled out for Week 5
Moss (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
The Broncos will be without both starting outside corners in Moss and Patrick Surtain (ankle), so Kris Abrams-Draine and Jahdae Barron will both step into starting roles for Sunday's AFC West tilt. Moss was unable to practice all week due to his rib injury, and he faces an uphill battle to return for Week 6 against the Seahawks, given the short turnaround for a Thursday night game.

Patrick Surtain II CB | DEN
Broncos' Patrick Surtain: Won't play in Week 5
Surtain (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
The news doesn't come as a surprise, as Surtain is expected to miss at least two games due to an ankle injury that he sustained against the 49ers in Week 4. The good news is that the injury isn't severe enough for him to go on injured reserve. However, Denver will be without its two starting outside cornerbacks in Surtain and Riley Moss (ribs) for Sunday's AFC West contest, leaving Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine to be the starters. The Broncos' Week 6 tilt against the Seahawks is this upcoming Thursday, so Surtain figures to be held out of that game given the short turnaround.

Darius Slayton WR | IND
Colts' Darius Slayton: Won't play against Pittsburgh
Slayton (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Slayton drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a limited practice Friday due to a new knee issue. The veteran wide receiver -- who signed with the Colts on Sept. 21 -- will have to wait at least one more week to make his debut with his new team, with his next chance to do so being Week 6 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 18. Indianapolis could also be without veteran wideout Keenan Allen (groin), which would leave Josh Downs, Laquon Treadwell and Deion Burks as the top wide receivers for Sunday's road contest.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | HOU
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Will sit amid trade talks
A trade for Harrison will not be completed "until after Sunday's games are played," but the Cardinals "feel comfortable enough" knowing it will occur that they will deactivate him for Sunday's game against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harrison's long-term outlook is firmly up in the air after it was announced earlier Saturday that he will be traded to an unspecified team, but per the latest report, "The one certainty is that Harrison's time in Arizona is done." Michael Wilson and Trey McBride figure to remain plenty busy in the passing game, and Harrison's absence will open up some opportunities for Kendrick Bourne and presumably Jalen Brooks.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | HOU
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Trade being finalized
The Cardinals are "finalizing a deal to trade Harrison" to an unspecified team, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harrison's destination is unclear, but he is on the move after spending two seasons and the early portion of the current campaign in Arizona. Per the report, the Cardinals informed Harrison "that he will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions as details of the trade are finalized," so one way or another he will not see action in Week 5.
