Addison brought in two of four targets for 48 yards and rushed once for 16 yards in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Addison's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Vikings on the afternoon, and he also made good use on his one rush attempt. The third-year wideout exceeded the 100-yard mark in two of his first three games after starting his season in Week 4 due to a suspension, but he's posted a modest 5-74-1 receiving line on eight targets over the last pair of contests. Sunday marked the first opportunity J.J. McCarthy and Addison had to work together in a regular-season setting, so the duo should continue building chemistry in a Week 10 home matchup against the Ravens.

Rodgers completed 25 of 35 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts. He added two rushes for zero yards.

The Steelers forced five turnovers, which created several short fields for Rodgers and the offense to work with. They struggled to find much rhythm early, as Rodgers managed to throw for only 108 yards despite attempting 22 passes in the first half. He didn't make mistakes in the win and managed to connect with Pat Freiermuth for a 12-yard touchdown, but Rodgers failed to complete a pass of at least 20 yards for the first time this season while averaging a season-worst 5.8 yards per attempt. This also marked the first time he's failed to throw for multiple touchdowns since Week 4.

Cleveland (ankle/knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Cleveland suffered a pair of injuries late in the contest, and his status for the rest of the game is up in the air. In his absence, Chuma Edoga is a top candidate to see an increase in workload on the offensive line.

Brown (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Brown has been ruled out to begin overtime, while Brian Thomas (ankle) is questionable to return. Prior to exiting, Brown caught three of seven targets for 25 yards and rushed once for four yards. The Jaguars placed wide receiver Travis Hunter (knee) on injured reserve prior to the game, leaving Parker Washington as their top healthy option at the position.

Williams brought in four of six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Williams was surprisingly shut out altogether during the Lions' Week 7 win over the Buccaneers, but after some bye-week chatter from the coaching staff about making it a priority to get him the ball, the fleet-footed wideout delivered a solid performance. Williams' yardage total tied for his second highest of the campaign, and his 37-yard touchdown down the left sideline that he finished with a full extension was his third of the season. Williams will have a positive outlook going into a Week 10 road matchup against the Commanders, who'll enter their Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the Seahawks allowing an NFL-high 12.0 yards per completion.

Thomas (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Thomas sustained an ankle injury in the latter stages of regulation time against the Raiders and was deemed questionable to return at the start of overtime. Prior to the injury, Thomas caught three of five targets for 55 yards. Parker Washington is operating as the team's top wide receiver without Thomas, Travis Hunter (knee) or Dyami Brown (concussion) on the field.

Bates (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Bates was limited in the final two practices of Week 9 prep due to an ankle injury, but he's been cleared to play Sunday night after going through pregame warmups. Bates and Ben Sinnott will provide depth at tight end behind Zach Ertz.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Seahawks, but he will operate as the team's emergency third quarterback.

Johnson will be back in his familiar role as Washington's No. 3 QB in Week 9. The 39-year-old has yet to appear in a contest this season, and he'd only be able to do so if Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota are sidelined with injuries.

Hoecht (Achilles) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

It was a non-contact injury for Hoecht, and the severity of the injury will be known once he undergoes more tests. A.J. Epenesa and Javon Solomon will see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Joey Bosa and Greg Rousseau following Hoecht's exit from Sunday's game.

LaPorta brought in six of eight targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

LaPorta tied for the team lead in receiving yards with a total that was also a season-high figure, and he checked in second in both receptions and targets. The talented tight end also rang up his third touchdown of the season -- all which have come within the last four games -- on a 40-yard grab to close out the opening possession of the contest. LaPorta has a solid 35-436-3 receiving line and at least five catches in three of the past four games heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Commanders.
