Doubs caught three of four targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Doubs accounted for 96 of Drake Maye's 202 passing yards while no teammate exceeded 40 receiving yards in the absence of A.J. Brown (ankle). Most of Doubs' production came on a 63-yard catch in the third quarter, which set up a field goal. This was a nice bounce-back performance from the offseason free-agent signing after Doubs finished without a catch in his Patriots debut. Maye has a 1:4 TD:INT, so New England's passing game has been sputtering ahead of a Week 3 trip to Jacksonville.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Reed has movement in all of his extremities after he suffered a neck injury during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win at the Jets, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Reed remained on the turf after taking a hit at the end of a four-yard catch on the Packers' second offensive play. He was placed on a backboard before being carted off the field, after which he was quickly ruled out. LaFleur noted that Reed will remain in the New York area overnight for further evaluation. The likes of Skyy Moore, Bo Melton (stinger) and J. Michael Sturdivant will benefit behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden for as long as Reed is sidelined.

London brought in four of five targets for 51 yards and rushed once for minus-2 yards in the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

London's reception, receiving yardage and target totals, modest as they were, all led the Falcons on an afternoon where Cooper Rush and Jack Strand combined to throw for 145 yards and toss three interceptions. Sunday's production pushed London's early-season line to 6-80-0 on 10 targets, but those numbers could be due for a nice boost as soon as Thursday's Week 3 road matchup against the Packers if either Michael Penix (knee) or Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) is deemed available for that contest.

Jefferson caught three of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

Neither team reached 200 passing yards on a wet and windy day at Soldier Field, and Jefferson's 55 yards actually led all pass catchers. It was a disappointing follow-up to his two-TD performance in the Vikings' opener, but the conditions made big numbers impossible. Jefferson will look to bounce back in what should be much better weather during a Week 3 road trip to Tampa Bay.

Stukes (head) is being evaluated for a potential concussion after exiting Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Stukes exited the first half of Sunday's contest with a head injury. The starting free safety will be evaluated by the Raiders' training staff and an independent neurologist to determine the severity of the injury and determine whether he will be able to return to the contest. Stukes logged three tackles before exiting.

Higgins secured five of 10 targets for 95 yards in the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Higgins' receiving yardage and target totals paced the Bengals on the afternoon, and he finished second only to Ja'Marr Chase in receiving yards. The talented wide receiver duo accounted for 12 of Joe Burrow's 20 completions against a tough Texans defense, and Higgins now is averaging an elite 19.3 yards per reception on his first eight catches of the 2026 season. The veteran speedster will aim to continue thriving downfield in a Week 3 road matchup against the Steelers next Sunday.

Wilson caught five of seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers.

Wilson broke a 7-7 tie with a five-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, but the Jets ultimately failed to close the game out after taking a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. Adonai Mitchell led the Jets with 12 targets and tied Breece Hall for the team receiving yards lead at 63. Wilson figures to operate as the team's top pass catcher most weeks, as he did in the season-opening win over the Titans, and the 2022 first-round pick has accounted for Geno Smith's lone touchdown pass through two games. Up next for Wilson and the Jets is a juicy Week 3 matchup against the struggling Lions secondary.

Hall rushed 16 times for 29 yards while catching all five of his targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers.

Hall didn't find much running room and watched Braelon Allen score a five-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but the former tied for the team lead in receiving yards thanks to a 43-yard catch on the final play of the third quarter. This was a disappointing effort on the ground from Hall after he exceeded 100 rushing yards and scored in the season opener, but the versatile running back has a robust 210 scrimmage yards heading into a Week 3 road game against a reeling Lions defense. Hall has 45 touches on the young season, compared to 16 for Allen.

Bateman caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to New Orleans.

With Zay Flowers (hamstring) unavailable, Bateman stepped up as Lamar Jackson's top downfield option and hauled in a 22-yard TD just before halftime, giving the Ravens a 14-3 lead. The veteran wideout made a mental error that may have cost his team the game, however -- on Baltimore's final possession as the Ravens were looking to tie it up, he cut a route short and saw Jackson's pass attempt sail over his head for a game-ending interception. Flowers could be back as soon as next week, which would relegate Bateman to a supporting role again for a Week 3 road trip to Dallas.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters after Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons that Brooks is considered day-to-day due to a groin injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Brooks aggravated a groin injury that dates back to training camp during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and did not return. It looks like the injury is not considered a long-term issue, but it puts his status for Week 3 against the Browns on Sept. 27 in jeopardy. Chuba Hubbard would see an even bigger role if Brooks were to miss time, and AJ Dillon would be next in line for RB2 duties.
