The receiver position for Tennessee is a mess and difficult to put much faith in until Friday's injury report.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (ribs/ankle) is questionable for Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post.

Gordon has split the running back work with Javonte Williams and his absence could hurt his workload should Williams excel without him.

Titans WRs A.J. Brown and Julio Jones will miss Week 4 at the New York Jets.

Massive losses for the Titans passing game. A lot of the workload will fall on unproven players such as Josh Reynolds, Chester Rogers, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. All fall into WR3/4 territory with Derrick Henry the workhorse in the run and passing game.

The Jets are playing a dangerous game, and there's no way out. They opted not to sign a proven backup, putting their faith in Zach Wilson and the players around him to make it work.

The story pointed out the grisly totals over Wilson's first three NFL starts: 25 quarterback hits, 15 sacks, seven interceptions and a few body slams/sandwiches. At this rate, he won't make it to Halloween, let alone the end of the season. And if he survives the onslaught, he could develop bad habits and lose his pristine mechanics, the story all said. The story added Wilson didn't play like a confident quarterback, even though he said he hasn't lost his confidence. Wilson looked hesitant at times, not trusting his reads and holding the ball too long.

Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson hasn't been able to inject excitement into the New York Jets franchise just yet. The Jets are 0-2 and their No. 2 overall pick is one of the worst statistical quarterbacks in the NFL. Wilson's QBR of 22.7 ranks No. 32 in the league while his five interceptions are tied for most in the league. He hasn't had much help, though, as he's been sacked a league-leading 10 times through two games.

"I talked to him real quick, I'm going to talk to him again after these meetings," HC Robert Saleh said, via Pro Football Talk. "It was real quick. He's such a resilient young man, he could probably recite every single play that happened and he's going to want to talk about it and go through it and learn from it. I know he's going to get better from this. He's in a good place."

Wilson completed 19 of 33 passes for 210 yards and four interceptions in the 25-6 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Saleh said on Monday that he's not too worried about Wilson being able to overcome some rookie mistakes, after what he hopes will be a career-worst game.

Sunday, Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton took it upon himself to mark the one-year anniversary of his most difficult athletic day with a living, breathing effort that was one of his best.

"He's back," Broncos coach Vic Fangio said. "He's back."

During the Broncos' 23-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, Sutton had a career-best 159 receiving yards on nine catches.

A year ago, Sutton suffered a torn ACL in his left knee while attempting to make a tackle after a Jeff Driskel interception in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The story said in Week 2 this year, Sutton worked the high-traffic areas in the middle of the field, made the tough catches in a crowd and added a 55-yard deep shot down the middle on the Broncos' first possession of the second half to help put the game away.

A league source confirmed the Broncos believe wideout Jerry Jeudy will be out 4-6 weeks after sustaining a high right ankle sprain in Sunday’s second half.

If the Broncos were to place Jeudy on injured reserve/eligible to return, he would miss, at minimum, the Broncos’ games against Jacksonville (Sunday), the New York Jets (Sept. 27) and Baltimore (Oct. 3), the story said. Minus Jeudy, the Broncos will lean on Sutton, Patrick and Hamler as their top three receivers. The Broncos said in the story those three WRs will get the bulk of the first team reps.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s 27-13 win over the New York Giants, coach Vic Fangio confirmed during his postgame press conference.

Jeudy might be sidelined for anywhere from several weeks to long as two months (or more), the story said. Jeudy had X-rays at the stadium on Sunday that came back negative, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The former Alabama star is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday that might give more clarity on a recovery timeline for the receiver. With Sutton still on the mend, Hamler could see a boost in targets. Patrick could also benefit as well as TE Fant.
