Thielen did not have a reception on his only target in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.

Thielen has arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (five) this season, as the ball thrown his way could have been listed as a drop. He played on just 12 of the offense's 49 snaps despite the team falling behind early, which doesn't bode well for his future usage.

Johnson (neck) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Johnson started the week as a limited practice participant, being listed with a new injury after playing through a minor ankle issue earlier in October. He's coming off a 79-yard performance in Chicago but otherwise has failed to maintain his momentum after a strong start to the season (at least in fantasy terms).

Hendrickson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Hendrickson was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a DNP on Friday, putting his status in question for Sunday. If Hendrickson is unable to play, Myles Murphy and Shemar Stewart should take on larger roles off the edge for Cincinnati.

Bowman (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bowman didn't practice all week and missed Atlanta's last two games due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined again Sunday. The rookie safety from Oklahoma has tallied 17 total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble across four games this season. While he's out Week 8, expect Dee Alford to draw another start at slot corner.

Kamara (ankle) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara played through the same injury the past two weeks, including taking on a season-high 84 percent share when Kendre Miller suffered an ACL tear in the loss at Chicago last Sunday. Devin Neal could get more work with time to prepare for the No. 2 role, but it's also possible Kamara is tasked with some of the snaps and touches that went to Miller in recent weeks.

Hudson (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.

Hudson was concussed in Week 6 and missed last Thursday night's win over the Steelers, but the 10 days off between games gave Hudson enough time to advance through the league's concussion protocol. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve, Hudson could see elevated snaps as the catch-first tight end in the offense.

Olave (ankle) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Saints coach Kellen More preempted the final injury report, telling reporters Friday that none of his injured players will have injury designations. Olave is coming off a two-TD performance Week 7 in Chicago, where his dominant volume finally translated to big-time production, though it was actually a down week for him targets-wise (seven). He got double-digit looks in five of the Saints' first six games of the season.

The Titans signed Kinsey off their practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

The 27-year-old's promotion to the active roster provides the Titans with much-needed depth at wide receiver, as Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) are both out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Expect Kinsey to contribute on both offense and special teams during the Week 8 divisional matchup.

Allgeier (hip/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Allgeier was limited in all three of Atlanta's practices during Week 8 prep. If Allgeier's unable to suit up Sunday against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the most rushing yards in the league to running backs, Nathan Carter would assume the top backup role behind Bijan Robinson.

Mooney (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Mooney missed Week 6 with the hamstring injury but returned last week to catch three of five targets for 68 yards while playing 83 percent of snaps in a 20-10 loss to the 49ers. He should get similar playing time this Sunday against one of the worst defenses in the league, though it isn't year clear if he'll be catching passes from Michael Penix (questionable - knee) or Kirk Cousins.
