Xavier Gipson WR | PHI
Eagles' Xavier Gipson: Manages full practice Friday
Gipson (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Gipson was still limited by the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 12 at Dallas to start the Eagles' preparations for Week 14, but he now appears to be back to full strength. He is on track to reclaim his return duties come Monday's game against the Chargers.

Jahan Dotson WR | PHI
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Limited in practice again
Dotson (toe) remained limited at Friday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Dotson has one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Monday's matchup with the Chargers. He was listed as a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Clear for Week 14
Bryant (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Bryant was a midweek addition to Denver's injury report Thursday, when he was limited due to a hamstring issue. He maintained that activity level Friday, despite taking part in the team stretch before not doing much during individual drills, per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Nevertheless, Bryant will be available to the Broncos offense Week 14 on the heels of recording at least 40 receiving yards in four of his last five contests.

Nikko Remigio WR | KC
Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Won't play due to shoulder injury
Remigio (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Remigio was listed as a limited practice participant Friday due to a shoulder issue, which is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. He's mostly served on special teams as a returner on punts and kickoffs, so in Remigio's absence, those duties will fall to Tyquan Thornton, Brashard Smith and Jalen Royals. Remigio will aim to progress enough in his recovery to return in Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Michael Wilson WR | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Heads injury-riddled WR corps again
Wilson's teammates Marvin Harrison (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Wilson and Dortch both enjoyed spikes in production during Harrison's two-game absence, followed by steep declines in both targets and fantasy points when Harrison returned for last Sunday's 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay. With Harrison now out again, and Dortch joining him this time, the Cardinals are painfully thin at wide receiver behind Wilson. Even Xavier Weaver (questionable - hamstring) may not end up playing, in which case Andre Baccellia and various practice-squad promotions would be the favorites to take WR snaps alongside Wilson. It's a great situation to pile up targets, albeit against a tough defense that won't take Wilson lightly after his massive numbers in Weeks 11-12.

Luther Burden III WR | CHI
Bears' Luther Burden: More targets coming sans Odunze?
Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus are candidates to take on more snaps and targets in the absence of Rome Odunze (foot) this Sunday at Green Bay, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
It's a tough matchup, on the road in cold weather, but Odunze's absence opens up a lot of playing time and targets for some talented players in ancillary roles. Burden is among those, having recently replaced Zaccheaus as the No. 3 receiver, but the Bears also may lean more heavily on any of WR DJ Moore, RB D'Andre Swift, TE Colston Loveland or TE Cole Kmet to take on larger receiving roles in Odunze's absence.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Considered week-to-week
Odunze, who was ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and is considered week-to-week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The report suggests Odunze should return at some point in December, with the expectation being that rest will help (he didn't practice at all this week) .The stress fracture helps explain his drastic downturn in production after a fast start to the season, though other factors contributed there as well. In Odunze's absence, the Bears figure to deploy DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus as their top three WRs against the Packers.

Dareke Young WR | SEA
Seahawks' Dareke Young: Won't return Week 14
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Young will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in early November. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a full practice participant during Week 14 prep, but the 2022 seventh-rounder is not quite ready to be activated from IR. Given his ability to practice in full, Young has a good chance to be available for the Seahawks' Week 15 clash against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Full practice Friday
Johnston (shoulder) was a full practice participant Friday.
During Johnston's limited session Thursday, he was seen wearing a non-contact jersey, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. A return to all activity one day later indicates Johnston is good to go ahead of Monday's game versus the Eagles, but since a hot start to the season, he's taken a significant downturn in the Chargers offense, with just a 14-148-3 line on 28 targets over his last six appearances.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Cleared for Sunday
Walker (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Despite suffering a setback Thursday with his groin injury, Walker was a full participant in Friday's practice and was able to clear injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional contest. The wide receiver received two targets in last Thursday's loss to the Bengals, but was unable to corral either.
