Chicago's quarterback is reported to be targeting next week's trip to Atlanta, Washington's top receiver is a genuine toss-up against the Giants, and Tennessee's rookie wideout looks set to play through a sore back.
Arizona will keep its 2024 first-round receiver out of Sunday's game against Detroit while the deal is completed, and the remaining dispute is reportedly over the year of a second-round pick.
The defensive lineman will miss at least four games, and a beat reporter expects the absence to run longer. New York called up Dalen Cambre and Trace Ford for Sunday.
