Dotson failed to draw a target in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Vikings.

Jalen Hurts threw for a season-high 326 yards, but Dotson wasn't able to benefit. DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown combined for 304 of those yards, leaving even less than volume than usual for the rest of Hurts' potential targets. Dotson has averaged one catch per game through seven games this season.

Ogbonnia (elbow) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

The Chargers didn't actually practice Monday but were required to release an injury report ahead of Thursday night's game against the Vikings. Ogbonnia suffered the elbow injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts and was unable to return to the contest.

The Buccaneers elevated Wright from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

It's the second week in a row that Wright has been elevated to Tampa Bay's active roster, and he'll serve as the team's RB3 behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker in the absence of Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder). Wright played just one snap on offense during the Bucs' Week 6 victory over the 49ers.

Buckner registered five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four total quarterback hits during the Colts' 38-24 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

After failing to register a sack in his first four games, Buckner has 3.0 sacks over his last three games. The veteran defensive tackle is up to 36 total tackles through seven regular-season games, and he is well on pace to surpass his mark from the 2024 campaign (61 tackles over 12 regular-season games).

Head coach Zac Taylor relayed Monday that Hendrickson (hip) is considered "day-to-day" heading into Sunday's Week 8 clash against the Jets, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

A hip injury prevented Hendrickson from playing in the Bengals' Week 7 win over the Steelers, though Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic relays that the 2017 third-rounder was pushing to play before being deemed inactive. Hendrickson's practice participation over the coming week will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Sunday's home contest. He has compiled 15 tackles (10 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across six regular-season games.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Armstrong (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Armstrong suffered the knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys after logging just four defensive snaps. The 28-year-old defensive lineman's season is over after compiling 24 tackles (16 solo), including a team-high 5.5 sacks. Washington already has several other edge defenders on injured reserve, so the team may need to look outside the organization for help at the position.

Stewart had one total tackle, a QB hurry and an interception in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

Stewart caught a pop-fly deflected pass at the line for his first career interception. Stewart is an elite run stuffer, so this is a rare interception or sack (just 4.0 sacks the last three seasons).

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Huntington has entered the league's concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Huntington was taken to the locker room during the first half of the Browns' 31-6 win over the Dolphins in Week 7 after taking a hit to the head and was diagnosed with a concussion after being evaluated by medical staff. He'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to be available to play, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Cleveland's Week 8 road clash against New England on Sunday.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Pola-Mao sustained an ankle injury during the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Pola-Mao played 75 of 81 defensive snaps (92.6 percent) and finished Sunday's blowout loss with 10 tackles (eight solo). The severity of his ankle injury isn't clear, but the Raiders are on a bye for Week 8, which gives him additional time to recover and be available for Las Vegas' Week 9 clash against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 2. Tristin McCollum would be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Jeremy Chinn if Pola-Mao were to miss time.

Egbuka (hamstring) is expected to play Monday night against the Lions, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Bucs put Egbuka through a pregame workout routine, and the rookie wide receiver seemingly has received the green light to play Week 7. With Mike Evans (hamstring) also due back Monday night, Tampa Bay's wideout depth chart gets a major boost after Baker Mayfield willed the team to victory last Sunday without all of his top receivers. Egbuka can be trusted in fantasy lineups in what profiles as a projected shootout at Ford Field.
