Texans WR Nico Collins suffers concusion

Veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett’s tenure in Tennessee did not last long.

Lockett asked for and will receive his release, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Lockett hasn’t done much for the Titans, with just 10 catches for 70 yards this season. The story said the news of his impending release has been leaked, but the release is not yet official and it means it’s still possible for a team to trade for Lockett.

Mike Evans was playing his first game since Week 3 when he injured his hamstring.

His return didn’t last long.

The Buccaneers wide receiver was carted off the sideline after stretching out for a deep pass from Baker Mayfield with 5:00 remaining in the first half. Evans had the ball until his shoulder and head hit the ground.

Evans appeared to be knocked out briefly. He remained on the ground for a while and appeared woozy and in significant pain as athletic trainers helped him off the field. He was ruled out with a concussion and a shoulder injury.

QB Brock Purdy likely a reach to return this week at Houston, “will continue like he did last week,” said Shanahan, noting Houston turf not a factor.

Purdy was limited all last week but didn't play. It looks like Purdy could again be a limited participant in practice this week with the end result up in the air for Week 8's game - which is an early game at Houston on Sunday. The SNF broadcast briefly talked about turf toe injuries and essentially called them unpredictable with good days and bad days in the recovery, and we seem to be seeing that with Purdy.
