Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Injury update coming Wednesday
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is having his injury evaluated and that the team will provide an update on his health Wednesday.
Wilson is slated to undergo an MRI after having sustained a knee injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London in which he logged just three catches for 13 yards on eight targets. He received an X-ray after the contest, though it appears further evaluation will be necessary to fully diagnose the severity of his injury. With the No. 1 receiver's status potentially up in the air for Week 7 against the Panthers, Justin Fields and New York's struggling passing offense may have to lean on wideouts Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard (personal), in addition to rookie tight end Mason Taylor.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Expected to miss time
Nacua (ankle) is expected to miss time due to the left ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday's 17-3 win at Baltimore, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Nacua secured two of three targets for 28 yards before being forced out of Sunday's win over the Ravens early in the second quarter, and while he was able to return to the road matchup after halftime, he didn't record any further offensive statistics. The star wideout appears to be trending in the wrong direction to suit up against the Jaguars in London in Week 7, after which the Rams will benefit from a Week 8 bye. If Nacua indeed misses any time, Davante Adams will step into the spotlight as Los Angeles' clear No. 1 wideout, while Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Higbee could all inherit expanded roles.

Carson Schwesinger LB | CLE
Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Another active game in loss
Schwesinger recorded eight tackles, including one for a loss, and one quarterback hit in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6.
Schwesinger continued to rack up tackles and leads the Browns with 52 over the first six games. He's led the defense in three of those six contests but took a back seat to Devin Bush (nine) on Sunday.

Devin Bush LB | CHI
Browns' Devin Bush: Paces defense in loss
Bush recorded nine tackles, including seven solo and two for a loss, in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6.
Bush lead the Browns with a season-high nine stops against the team that drafted him in 2019. He and rookie Carson Schwesinger are helping make up for the loss of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck). Schwesinger leads Cleveland with 52 tackles followed by Bush's 45, which includes 28 solo stops.

Tyson Campbell CB | CLE
Browns' Tyson Campbell: Active in Cleveland debut
Campbell had five tackles, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-9 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 6.
Campbell started and played 53 snaps (90 percent) in his debut for the Browns, which acquired him from Jacksonville earlier in the week. He made an impact on the game's first play, chasing down the Steelers' Darnell Washington from behind and forcing a fumble that eventually bounced out of bounds. He has a combined 39 tackles, eight passes defensed and two forced fumbles over six games.

Dylan Sampson RB | CLE
Browns' Dylan Sampson: Adds return duties to repertoire
Sampson rushed three times for 12 yards, caught both his targets for 12 yards and returned five kickoffs for 124 yards in Sunday's 23-9 loss to Pittsburgh.
Sampson took on his highest offensive snap share since Week 2 and also served as the Browns' primary kickoff returner. Once Quinshon Judkins established himself as the team's lead back upon making his Cleveland debut Week 2, Sampson's playing time on offense has declined steeply. He had just four touches over the last three weeks prior to Sunday's contest.

Jerome Ford RB | ARI
Browns' Jerome Ford: Totals 30 yards from scrimmage
Ford had two carries for 17 yards and caught five of six targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers. He also returned one kickoff for 22 yards.
Ford was on the field for 33 offensive snaps -- his most since Week 2 -- and had seven touches for the second straight week. His playing time has increased the last two games, which is tied to the quarterback change from Joe Flacco to rookie Dillon Gabriel. Ford leads the Cleveland backfield with 21 targets through six games and could see an uptick in usage as a runner going forward if the organization is cognizant on easing up on the heavy workloads that rookie Quinshon Judkins has handled since making his NFL debut Week 2.

Shedeur Sanders QB | CLE
Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Goes unused in Week 6 loss
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers that he never considered benching starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel for Sanders at any point during the contest, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
The Browns sputtered offensively for much of the day, but the Browns' struggles didn't fall solely on Gabriel, who was sacked six times and absorbed another 16 hits. Injuries along the offensive line also limited the rushing attack, and Cleveland's pass catchers dropped multiple passes. The organization will still likely want to see what it has in Sanders before entering the offseason, but Gabriel appears set for a long look in the starting role before Stefanski considers a change at the position.

Darnell Washington TE | PIT
Steelers' Darnell Washington: Best yardage total of career
Washington recorded three receptions on five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns. He also fumbled, but the ball went out of bounds.
Washington continues to emerge in the Pittsburgh offense, as he led the tight end corps in targets and receiving yards. His involvement began immediately, as he recorded a 36-yard reception on the first play from scrimmage. Washington later chipped in gains of 12 and 14 yards, both of which came primarily after the catch. The end result was Washington's best yardage total of his career, and he seems to have surpassed Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth for targets in the Pittsburgh offense.

Justice Hill RB | BAL
Ravens' Justice Hill: Five receptions in loss
Hill rushed the ball six times for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams. He added five receptions on six targets for 28 yards.
The Ravens ran a run-heavy offense as long as possible, giving Hill a chance to mix in on possessions to relieve Derrick Henry. Hill saw a season-high six carries as a result, but he made a more significant impact as a pass catcher. His usage could change with the anticipated return of Lamar Jackson (hamstring) after the team's bye, but Hill has at least three catches in four of six games on the campaign.
