Warren rushed 10 times for 62 yards and caught both of his targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals, but he played only one snap after suffering an ankle injury in the third quarter, Alan Saunders of Pittsburgh Steelers Now reports.

Warren exited in the third quarter to be evaluated for an ankle injury, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. Kenneth Gainwell took advantage of Warren's early exit, compiling 105 scrimmage yards and two receiving touchdowns on 16 touches. Gainwell's first touchdown came two plays after a 35-yard Warren run on the opening drive. Warren has rushed for 189 yards in two games against Cincinnati's suspect run defense this season while averaging a shade under 50 rushing yards in seven other games. An update on Warren's ankle injury will surface no later than Wednesday, when the Steelers begin practicing ahead of a Week 12 road game against the Bears.

Meyers caught five passes (on six targets) for 64 yards during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

In his second game in a Jaguars uniform, Meyers operated as the team's WR1 due to the absence of Brian Thomas (ankle). Meyers finished Sunday's contest leading both teams in receptions and yards, though it was Tim Patrick who hauled in the Jaguars' lone touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence. Meyers has an 8-97-0 line (on nine targets) through his first two games as a Jaguar and has accumulated 38 catches (on 55 targets) for 416 yards through eight regular-season games. His volume will likely take a hit if Thomas is cleared to return for Jacksonville's Week 12 road clash against Arizona next Sunday.

Lake (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Lake is dealing with an apparent elbow injury which will keep him sidelined for the rest of Week 11. The 26-year-old operates as the Rams' primary slot cornerback, so in his absence, Roger McCreary could stand to take over in that role.

Higgins secured four catches (on seven targets) for 55 yards during Sunday's 16-13 win in Tennessee.

In three games since Nico Collins returned to the lineup after he was absent Week 8 due to a concussion, Higgins' target count has gone from one in Week 9 to seven in back-to-back contests. Higgins thus appears to have settled into the No. 2 WR role in the Texans offense with QB Davis Mills filling in for C.J. Stroud (concussion), which has resulted in a combined 9-97-1 line for the rookie second-round pick over the last two outings. Higgins will look to maintain his usage Thursday against the Bills.

Wilson rushed 11 times for 40 yards and brought in his only target for nine yards in the Packers' 27-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

Wilson helmed the ground attack following the first-half exit of Josh Jacobs due to a knee injury, and the former did a serviceable job with his opportunities. Wilson also caught a critical two-point conversion pass with 4:20 remaining that gave the Packers a seven-point lead that ultimately held up, and he'll be in line to handle the lead role again in a Week 12 home divisional clash against the Vikings next Sunday if Jacobs is sidelined.

Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

Smith suffered a concussion in the first half of the contest, and his day has officially come to a premature end. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for eight yards while also adding a 22-yard kickoff return prior to exiting the game. In Smith's absence, Konata Mumpfield could stand to see an increase in workload on offense and on special teams.

Patrick finished Sunday's 35-6 win over the Chargers with three catches (on four targets) for 20 yards and a touchdown.

Patrick saw an expanded role on offense for a second straight game due to the absence of Brian Thomas (ankle). Patrick finished Sunday's game with the second-most targets on the Jaguars behind Jakobi Meyers (six), and the former helped give the Jaguars a three-score lead early in the fourth quarter, when he caught a one-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence. Thomas was limited in practice during Week 11 prep, so Patrick's snap count on offense would take a hit in Week 12 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 23 if the former is cleared to return.

Metcalf caught five of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals.

Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) didn't come back out for the second half, so Mason Rudolph took over under center. Each quarterback threw a touchdown pass to running back Kenneth Gainwell and Pittsburgh's defense scored two touchdowns, but no Steelers wide receiver besides Metcalf had more than two targets. Metcalf is the top option in Pittsburgh's passing game heading into a Week 12 trip to Chicago, but it remains to be seen which quarterback will be throwing him the ball.

Shepard recorded four catches (on five targets) for 54 yards and added a seven-yard carry during Sunday's 44-32 loss at Buffalo.

With Chris Godwin (fibula) still sidelined and Mike Evans (collarbone) on injured reserve, Shepard continued to play a decent role in the Buccaneers' passing game, leading the team in receiving yards and ranking second to rookie WR Emeka Egbuka in receptions and targets. Shepard's yardage through the air Sunday marked his second most of the campaign through 10 contests, but his volume as a receiver could dwindle as soon as next Sunday at the Rams if Godwin, who returned to practice this week, is cleared for game action.

Washington caught four of five targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals.

Washington was able to able to match his season high in catches while recording a new season-best 67 yards through the air. The tight end notched the majority of his yardage on a 31-yard catch and run in the second quarter. Washington has now compiled nine catches for 125 yards over the last three weeks. The 300-plus pound tight end will look to keep it rolling in Chicago against the Bears in Week 12.
