Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the team's final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, the report said, crediting NFL Network's Mike Garafolo as well. The team does not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, but Monday's imaging will tell more.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring during Sunday's game against the Jets. The Chiefs have been calling teams about wide receivers for weeks, and it was already likely that Kansas City would add a WR before Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Worthy had six receptions for 48 yards when he left the game, so he was functional in the short range passing game even though he hasn't become the deep threat the Chiefs hoped he would be when they moved up to take him in the 2024 first round. Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. are the names most frequently mentioned as wide receiver trade targets for Kansas City. |

Patriots WR Mack Hollins is active for Sunday's game against the Packers after returning from injured reserve following a four-game absence with a calf injury. Hollins played 63% of offensive snaps before hurting his calf in Week 4 against the Bills. The expectation is that he might see some prominent snaps as the Z-receiver, which in turn might bump second-year WR Efton Chism III down the depth chart.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Panthers with a concussion. Waddle had been evaluated for a possible concussion earlier in the game.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos passing game did not miss a beat after Waddle - who finished with one catch for 22 yards - left the game. Pat Bryant returned from injured reserve this week and picked up the slack, along with Courtland Sutton stepping up in Waddle's absence. Both players scored and helped the Broncos move the sticks with catches and pass interference penalties drawn against the Panthers beleaguered secondary. Denver has a bye next week, so Waddle may not miss a game. |

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Panthers. Waddle was a full participant in practice on Friday after dealing with a chest injury and played reduced snaps in last Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

The Colts have informed teams that an offer of a fourth-round pick has been submitted for WR Josh Downs, Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter reported.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is good to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, per a source. St. Brown was listed as questionable with a rib injury that limited him in practice all week.

The 49ers placed WR Christian Kirk (knee) on injured reserve on Saturday. 49ers WR Demarcus Robinson was activated off injured reserve and takes the roster spot created by Kirk's move. The team also elevated WR KhaDarel Hodge, a core special-teamer, from the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Robinson returns to the field, and he could have quite a large role as the 49ers are without Kirk, Mike Evans (Achilles), and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring). We see Robinson as a "lottery ticket," super-deep "what the heck" flex upon his return in Week 9. |

The Saints activated rookie WR Jordyn Tyson on Saturday. Tyson, a first-round pick, had been on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Browns. The Saints also activated OT Kelvin Banks Jr. on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: Tyson gets to make his debut in Week 9, and we're excited about the top-10 pick. He might have a snap count limitation as the team eases him back into action. |

Patriots WR Mack Hollins was activated from injured reserve on Saturday and is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Hollins missed four games with a calf injury suffered in the second half of a Week 4 win over the Bills. He led the Patriots in receptions (15) and receiving yards (209) through the first four weeks, and assuming he plays his usual workload, he will likely move into the top 'X' receiver role. Hollins joins DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism III as the team's available wideouts, with WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) ruled out and WR Romeo Doubs (shoulder) on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Hollins will help QB Drake Maye and the Patriots passing attack. His return does ding the fantasy potential of DeMario Douglas going forward. We have Hollins as a super-deep "what the heck" flex in Week 9. We like Douglas as a low-end WR or flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Vikings WR Jauan Jennings (calf) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Bills. Jennings was injured in Thursday's practice. The Vikings will consider elevating a wide receiver, possibly Odell Beckham Jr., for Monday night.
| Footballguys view: Carson Wentz is the starting quarterback for the Vikings on Monday night against the Bills. We expect Wentz to fire plenty of passes toward Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. That doesn't leave much for anyone else behind those two. We've got Jefferson as a WR1 and Addison as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |
Jauan Jennings player page
Bills WR Joshua Palmer (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday night's game at the Vikings. Palmer did not practice all week after leaving last week's game with the injury. Head coach Joe Brady said Palmer is not a candidate for injured reserve at this point.
| Footballguys view: This hamstring injury has bothered Palmer (to various degrees) since Week 4. Perhaps shutting him down for Week 9 will give him the time he needs to return to the field without an aggravation. Last week, Palmer played just seven snaps before this hamstring injury forced him out of action. |
Joshua Palmer player page
Bills WR DJ Moore does not carry an injury designation and is good to go for Monday night's game at the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Moore had practiced in a red non-contact jersey on Friday after a knee scare late in the Week 8 win over the Ravens. He's ready to go for Monday night's game against the Vikings. We like Moore in the WR2/flex range (PPR formats) for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |
DJ Moore player page
Vikings WR Jauan Jennings (calf) was not seen at practice on Saturday, after also not being seen at Friday's practice. Two straight sessions without practicing would make him "very unlikely" to play in Monday night's game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Jennings has been the subject of trade rumors with teams like the Rams and Steelers in the wide receiver market. He's not playing in Week 9, but Jennings might still be dealt on or before Tuesday's trade deadline. |
Jauan Jennings player page
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson plans to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Browns. Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, has yet to play this season because of a hamstring injury but "should be good to go" for New Orleans. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game on Friday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Tyson gets to make his NFL debut in Week 9, and we're excited to see what the talented rookie can do. A top-10 pick, Tyson was one of the most dynamic receivers in this draft class. We could see a snap count for Tyson as the team eases him into action. We've got Tyson as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 9, but he could have plenty of flex appeal if/when near full strength and a full role as the no.2 receiver opposite Chris Olave. |
Jordyn Tyson player page
Bills WR Khalil Shakir was spotted at practice on Saturday after not practicing on Friday. Shakir missed Friday's session for a personal reason. The Bills visit the Vikings on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: Shakir is good to go for Monday night's game against the Vikings. With this matchup, Shakir is in the WR4 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |

The Steelers are among the teams in the wide receiver market ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, with Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts WR Josh Downs the "two key names," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. "I expect one or both to be moved," Fowler wrote, naming Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco among the teams in the market and adding that Titans WR Calvin Ridley "is considered a backup option for teams."
| Footballguys view: A move for a wide receiver would make sense. The Steelers are trying to make one final run with Aaron Rodgers this year, and his pass-catchers could easily be upgraded from what he currently has. Pittsburgh has WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson on injured reserve, and WR DK Metcalf ranks 22nd among NFL wide receivers in catches and 26th in receiving yards. |
