Slye made his lone field-goal attempt during the Titans' 26-3 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Slye converted on a 30-yard chip shot to end the Titans' opening offensive drive, but that ended being his only attempt of the game. He's attempted one or zero field goals in four of the first five games of the regular season, and his scoring floor is the lowest of all kickers given that the Titans score just 11.6 points per game, which is dead last in the NFL. Tennessee hits the road for Week 6 against Indianapolis on Oct. 18.

Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars in London.

Elliott's only field-goal try came late in the fourth quarter, when he knocked through his 48-yard attempt to give the Eagles a 17-16 lead with only eight seconds left to play. He has yet to miss a kick through five regular-season games, though he's made only one field goal or zero in four of those contests. Elliott's scoring floor ceiling figures to be limited given that the Eagles' offense has the second-fewest yards per game (262.2) and ranks in the bottom-5 in points allowed per game (18.4). The Eagles will be home for four of their next five games, starting with Week 6 against the Panthers on Oct. 18.

Little made both of his field goals and went 1-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Jaguars' 19-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday in London.

The Jaguars looked dead in the water after Eagles' kicker Jake Elliott connected on a 48-yard field goal to give Philadelphia a 17-16 lead with only eight seconds left in the fourth quarter. However, Ameer Abdullah gave Jacksonville hope with a 53-yard return on the ensuing kickoff, and Little answered the call with a 57-yard field goal to seal the victory for the Jaguars. Little is 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts through five regular-season games, with both of those misses coming from 50-plus yards. The Jaguars will stay in London for Week 6 to face the Texans in an AFC South showdown.

Penix is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday after exiting Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens due to a rib injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Penix sustained the injury with 27 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, when he took a hard sack from linebacker Tavius Robinson. After giving way to backup Tua Tagovailoa for one snap, Penix checked back into the contest for the next play and threw an incomplete pass on a third-and-six before the Falcons punted the ball away. Atlanta then listed Penix as questionable to return to the game, but Tagovailoa ended up directing the offense for the team's lone possession of overtime. Per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com, Penix said that he likely would have been able to stay in the game if the Falcons had been on offense to begin overtime, but the pain in his ribs worsened during the Ravens' long touchdown drive to kick off the extra period. Penix is confident that his latest setback on the health front isn't a long-term concern, though the upcoming MRI will ultimately determine whether he has a realistic shot at playing Week 6 against the Bears.

Samuel is scheduled to undergo an MRI after exiting Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Samuel sustained the injury with 5:06 remaining in the third quarter, when he was tripped up by a Seattle defender and landed awkwardly while fumbling the football as he fell to the ground. The upcoming MRI will shed more light on the severity of the hamstring issue, but Rapoport notes that the fact that the 49ers ruled Samuel out of Sunday's game immediately is a foreboding sign. If Samuel ends up sitting out Week 6 against the Commanders next Monday, the 49ers would be left with Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins as their healthy options at receiver.

Wilson (finger) is expected to miss a couple of weeks after exiting Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson is still gathering more information about his injury and is seeking a second opinion, so an official timeline for his recovery may not be determined until he decides on a treatment plan. The third-year wideout out of Michigan logged 20 snaps and was unable to haul in his lone target in Sunday's game before leaving the contest just before halftime. After previously moving Michael Pittman (foot) to injured reserve Saturday, Pittsburgh's receiver depth will be further tested with Wilson likely to be sidelined for at least the team's Week 6 game at Tampa Bay.

Pitts caught five of six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Pitts scored his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard reception in the second quarter. He has stirred to life after a painfully slow start, recording eight catches for 89 yards and a TD over the last two games after having just two catches for 20 yards through Week 3. Michael Penix sustained a rib injury late in the game, and while Tua Tagovailoa proceeded to throw the game-losing interception in overtime, it's worth noting that Pitts was Tagovailoa's primary target in the preseason. Atlanta's QB situation will bear monitoring ahead of a Week 6 home game against the Bears.

Andrews caught four of six targets for 28 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons.

Andrews finished third on the team in catches and receiving yards behind wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, but the veteran tight end had a forgettable night full of miscues. Atlanta's first touchdown came on a 36-yard Jessie Bates return of Andrews' first-quarter fumble, and Andrews also failed to come down with a pair of catchable balls in the end zone, one of which would have resulted in a touchdown, while the other was an attempted two-point conversion. Andrews' ceiling would rise if the Ravens get starting QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) back in Week 6 at Cleveland, but Sunday night's quiet performance was due primarily to Andrews' own miscues rather than any shortcomings on the part of backup QB Tyler Huntley.

Tagovailoa completed two of three passes for 34 yards and an interception in relief of Michael Penix (ribs) in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Penix was shaken up after taking a big hit on the final drive of regulation. Tagovailoa came in for one play and completed a 14-yard pass to Bijan Robinson before Penix checked back in and threw an incomplete pass. Penix was unable to continue playing in overtime, so Tua was tasked with the tall order of trying to lead a touchdown drive in less than three minutes after the Ravens chewed up the first 7:03 of OT on a drive that resulted in Baltimore's go-ahead touchdown. Tagovailoa completed a 20-yard pass to Drake London but promptly threw the game-losing interception on the next play. If Penix is unable to play in Week 6 against the Bears, Tagovailoa would get a chance to make his first regular-season start as a member of the Falcons after posting a 44-32 record in 76 regular-season starts with the Dolphins.

Chism caught five of six targets for 57 yards and added a two-yard rush during Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

Chism was able to tie tight end Eli Raridon for the team lead in catches, and he set a new career high with 57 receiving yards. The 24-year-old has now reeled in nine of 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown over the Patriots' last four contests.
