Higgins sustained an adductor issue during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jaguars, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

The Bengals played most of Week 4 without top WR Ja'Marr Chase, who suffered a concussion in the first half. The situation allowed Higgins to rack up a whopping 11-157-0 line on 16 targets, but he also picked up a health concern himself. With Colbie Young (knee) inactive Sunday and Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on IR for at least two more contests, the Bengals currently are down to just two healthy wide receivers on the active roster (Dohnte Meyers and Mitchell Tinsley).

Nacua (hip) caught nine of 12 targets for 125 yards and added a two-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles.

Nacua looked spry in his return from a two-game absence due to a hip injury that was also termed groin soreness. He had just one catch in the first half but scored a two-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. The star wide receiver came alive as a pass catcher in the second half as the Rams stormed back from a 10-point deficit with two unanswered fourth-quarter touchdowns. Nacua's injury appears to be in the rearview mirror heading into a Week 5 home game against the Bills.

Berrios (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Berrios will not return to Sunday's game after his foot injury was evaluated by medical staff, and the Giants should have an update on the veteran wide receiver shortly once he undergoes more tests. Charlie Jones will handle most of the return duties on punts and kickoffs in Berrios' absence.

Williams caught three of eight targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts.

With Terry McLaurin (hamstring) inactive, Williams finished second to Stefon Diggs in targets, but the rookie wideout wasn't able to do much with the volume as Athan Kaliakmanis ended up having to make his NFL debut in relief of Marcus Mariota (knee) at quarterback. Williams has produced a 12-124-1 line on 19 targets through his first four games, and he'll be a volatile option in Week 5 against the Giants depending on whether Jayden Daniels (elbow) and McLaurin are able to return.

Diggs caught five of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts.

While the targets and receptions led the Commanders on the day, Diggs finished just fourth in receiving yards on the team as his longest gain went for only 10 yards. The veteran wideout's ability to deliver a big play was impacted by the loss of Marcus Mariota (knee) in the first quarter, leaving the offense in the hands of seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis. Diggs could be the No. 1 receiver again in Week 5 against the Giants if Terry McLaurin (hamstring) remains sidelined, but Diggs' ceiling could be limited if Jayden Daniels (elbow) isn't cleared to return.

Jennings is in line to see a boost in targets as the Vikings' No. 2 receiver for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins, due to Justin Jefferson (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest.

Jennings' Vikings tenure has gotten off to an utterly forgettable start, as the veteran receiver has just one reception for one yard on three targets through two games. While Jennings was unable to capitalize on Jefferson's early exit from a Week 3 win over the Buccaneers, the former did log a season-high 47 snaps and ran 24 routes during the contest. Both numbers -- along with Jennings' target share -- will be in line to increase against Miami with Jefferson out, although the possibility Minnesota eventually has the luxury of turning to a run-heavy approach in the second half is also high considering the generally uncompetitive current state of the Dolphins.

Downs caught three of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Commanders.

Even with Alec Pierce (heel) and Keenan Allen (groin) on the shelf, Downs wound up getting a season low in targets as Indianapolis didn't need to pass the ball much against a Washington team that lost Marcus Mariota (knee) in the first quarter, putting seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis under center. Through four games, Downs is still looking for his first trip to the end zone, posting a 17-202-0 line on 28 targets. He figures to be busier in Week 5 on the road in Pittsburgh.

Waddle (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Following the Broncos' Week 3 win over the Rams, Waddle was spotted with his walking boot on his right foot, but he wasn't inhibited by the injury during Week 4 prep. He was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, clearing the way for him to head into the weekend without a designation. Waddle isn't expected to face any restrictions with his snaps Sunday.

Evans (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Evans managed just one limited practice this week after exiting the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals due to an injury that's been characterized as both fractured ribs and a rib strain, but he'll attempt to play through any discomfort this Sunday. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports noted earlier Sunday that Evans will be wearing a protective covering over his ribs, and assuming his injury doesn't worsen during the contest, the wideout will be slated to play his normal allotment of snaps.

Hollins (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills.

Hollins hauled in three passes (on four targets) for 53 yards before exiting for the locker room, where he'll have his calf injury evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry are all in line for more targets from Drake Maye while Hollins is out of the game.
