The Eagles’ A.J. Brown (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers despite managing to practice in limited fashion Friday following consecutive absences to open the week. The effect of Brown’s third straight absence will be compounded by that of fellow wideout DeVonta Smith (concussion), leaving Jalen Hurts with a projected starting receiver duo of Jahan Dotson and rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, although veterans Parris Campbell and John Ross have also been summoned from the practice squad. Tight end Dallas Goedert, who put together a spectacular 10-catch, 170-yard effort against the Saints in Week 3, and Saquon Barkley should also be in line for more pass-catching work once again. |

The 49ers‘ Deebo Samuel (calf) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Patriots but managed to finish the week with back-to-back limited practices. As per early Sunday reports, Samuel is expected to make his return from a one-game absence versus New England. If that in fact comes to pass, it remains to be seen if Jauan Jennings, who generated a memorable 11-175-3 receiving line against the Rams in Week 3, moves back down into a true No. 3 role in terms of snaps. |
|
The Raiders’ Davante Adams (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Browns after suffering his injury in Thursday’s practice and then missing Friday’s session altogether. In his absence, fellow veteran Jakobi Meyers should be in store for a notable increase in opportunity, while second-year speedster Tre Tucker moves into the No. 2 role. Tight end Brock Bowers could also be a beneficiary in terms of additional targets. |
|
The Rams’ Cooper Kupp (ankle) remains out for Sunday’s game against the Bears after missing practice all week. His absence, along with that of Puka Nacua (IR-knee), will keep veteran Demarcus Robinson in the No. 1 receiver role while Tyler Johnson and rookie sixth-round pick Jordan Whittington slot in as the Nos. 2 and 3 options, respectively. Given the amount of targets vacated by the unavailability of Los Angeles’ top two wideouts, running back Kyren Williams and tight end Colby Parkinson should both continue seeing additional passing game opportunities as well versus Chicago. |
|
The Vikings’ Jordan Addison is off the injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Packers after following two limited practices with a full Friday session. Addison missed the last two games with an ankle injury sustained in Week 1, and in his return, Jalen Nailor, who caught a touchdown in each of his first three games of the season, is expected to slide back into a No. 3 role. |

The Eagles’ DeVonta Smith (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers after missing practice all week. The effect of Smith’s absence will be compounded by that of fellow wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring), leaving Jalen Hurts with a projected starting receiver duo of Jahan Dotson and rookie sixth-round pick Johnny Wilson, although veterans Parris Campbell and John Ross have also been summoned from the practice squad. Tight end Dallas Goedert, who put together a spectacular 10-catch, 170-yard effort against the Saints in Week 3, and Saquon Barkley should also be in line for more pass-catching work once again. |
|
The Saints’ Chris Olave (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons after finishing the week with a limited practice Friday. As per early Sunday reports, Olave’s availability is likely to come down to how he looks in pregame warmups, but there is optimism he’ll be able to play. If there were to be a change of plan, Rashid Shaeed would be in line to move into the No. 1 receiver role for New Orleans. |
|
The Bears’ Keenan Allen (heel) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams but finished the week with a full practice after consecutive limited sessions to open the week. As per early Sunday reports, Allen is expected to suit up, a development that would move rookie Rome Udonze back into a No. 3 role despite his breakout 6-112-1 effort versus the Colts in a Week 3 loss. |
|
The Jaguars’ Gabe Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Texans after practicing in limited fashion all week. As per early Sunday reports, Davis is expected to play. If that were to change, rookie Brian Thomas Jr. would be set to assume No. 2 receiver duties. |
|
The Texans’ Tank Dell (chest) is out for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars after missing practice all week. In his absence, veteran Robert Woods is likely to fill the No. 3 role behind Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, although Xavier Hutchison could also rotate in. |
|
The Panthers‘ Diontae Johnson (groin) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bengals but managed to finish the week with a limited practice after a Thursday absence. As per early Sunday reports, Johnson, who is coming off his best game of the season in Week 3 against the Raiders, is expected to suit up versus Cincinnati. If he were to have a setback, however, rookie Xavier Legette would be in line to move into the No. 1 receiver role with Adam Thielen (IR-hamstring) sidelined. |
|
The Panthers’ Adam Thielen (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, sidelining him for the next four games at minimum. In his absence, rookie Xavier Legette and Jonathan Mingo should see more opportunities by moving into the No. 2 and No. 3 roles, respectively. |
|
The Buccaneers’ Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Eagles after finishing the week with a limited Friday practice. In his absence, Trey Palmer, who enjoyed success as the No. 3 receiver during his rookie 2023 campaign, will be in line to reclaim that role versus Philadelphia. |
|
The Chargers’ Joshua Palmer (elbow/calf) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs after finishing the week with two full practices following a Week 3 absence due to elbow and calf injuries. In his return, Palmer is expected to reclaim the No. 1 receiver role, although Quentin Johnston should continue to play a robust role after the success he enjoyed while recording three touchdown receptions in the last two games. |
|
The Saints’ Cedrick Wilson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons but followed up a limited session Thursday with a Friday absence. If Wilson can’t suit up, undrafted rookie Mason Tipton would be set to move into the No. 3 role versus Atlanta. |
|
The Chargers’ Derius Davis (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs after finishing the week with consecutive absences. If Davis sits out, rookie Ladd McConkey is likely to assume both the kickoff- and punt-returner roles. |
