Wan'Dale Robinson WR | TEN
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Misses practice Wednesday
Robinson (ribs) is not participating in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson tallied his third consecutive 100-yard performance during New York's win over the Raiders in Week 17 by securing 11 of 14 targets for 113 yards, but the undersized wideout appears to have sustained a rib injury in the process. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field in advance of the Giants' regular-season finale against Dallas on Sunday. A combination of Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski, Dalen Cambre, Ryan Miller and Jalin Hyatt (illness) will step up on offense behind Darius Slayton in the event that Robinson isn't cleared to play Week 18.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Ruled out for Week 18
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison (foot) will not suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale on the road against the Rams, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Harrison will miss Arizona's final game of the 2025 campaign due to a foot injury suffered versus Cincinnati in Week 17, a contest in which he played just 33 percent of offensive snaps and failed to secure his only target. That wraps a disappointing second professional season for the 2024 first-round pick, who concludes the year with a 41-608-4 receiving line on 73 targets across 12 regular-season appearances. Prior to his current foot issue, a heel injury limited Harrison to just three appearances after Week 10, across which he combined for just seven catches for 83 yards. Harrison fading down the stretch has paved the way for WR Michael Wilson to emerge as a legitimate playmaker alongside TE Trey McBride, both of whom will will remain the clear top targets for QB Jacoby Brissett in the Cardinals' regular-season finale against a Los Angeles squad that may have nothing to play for in terms of playoff seeding should the 49ers defeat the Seahawks on Saturday night.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Held to one catch in Week 17
Kupp recorded a six-yard reception on three targets in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.
Kupp continued to start for Seattle and played 58 of the team's 66 snaps on offense (88 percent), but he was once again an afterthought in a low-volume Seahawks passing offense. Top wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba remained the focal point of the offensive attack, commanding targets on 12 of quarterback Sam Darnold's 27 throws. Meanwhile, no other pass catcher drew more than three targets. The 32-year-old has generally enjoyed a healthy first season in Seattle while suiting up in 15 of the Seahawks' first 16 games, but he's scored just two touchdowns and has topped 50 receiving yards on just three occasions.

Skyy Moore WR | GB
49ers' Skyy Moore: Notches first down on rush
Moore carried once for 10 yards and brought back two punts for 11 yards and four kickoffs for 92 yards in Sunday's 42-38 win over the Bears.
Moore played just four of the 49ers' 72 snaps on offense in the win, but he made his mark during his time on the field. His 10-yard carry early in the second quarter was good for a first down, extending a drive that culminated in Brock Purdy's three-yard rushing touchdown. Moore also made a splash on special teams, with his 92 kickoff return yards marking his fourth-best total of the season. He'll continue to serve as the 49ers' top return man in Saturday's regular-season finale versus the Seahawks.

Devin Duvernay WR | ARI
Bears' Devin Duvernay: Goes without catch in Week 17
Duvernay failed to haul in his lone target while playing 11 of 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers. He also returned a kickoff for 29 yards.
The two-time Pro Bowl return man will continue to offer most of his value to the Bears on special teams, but he was needed to take on more reps than usual as a depth receiver in Week 17 since Rome Odunze (foot) and Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) were inactive for the contest. While Zaccheaus should be back for Week 18 against the Lions, Odunze is more uncertain to play, and the Bears could be down another receiver in Luther Burden, who sustained a quadriceps injury in the loss to San Francisco. If the Bears are without both Odunze and Burden in Week 18, Duvernay could once again be called upon to serve as the team's No. 4 wideout behind DJ Moore, Zaccheaus and Jahdae Walker.

Tahj Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tahj Washington: No targets in Week 17 win
Washington went without a target while playing five of the Dolphins' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers.
Suiting up for the first time since Week 11 after he had been inactive for Miami's previous four games, Washington was unable to carve out on a role on offense. He ranked a distant fifth in playing time among the Dolphins' five active receivers, trailing Cedrick Wilson (38 snaps), Malik Washington (35), Theo Wease (15) and Jaylen Waddle (14).
-
Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Limited to return role
Johnson returned two punts for 27 yards and three kickoffs for 75 yards Sunday in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Johnson continues to suit up for Tampa Bay on game days as a depth receiver, but he's been used almost exclusively on special teams the past three games while the Buccaneers have gotten healthier at wideout with the recent returns of Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan from injured reserve. He's played just one snap on offense over the past three weeks and owns a 4-64-1 receiving line on seven targets to go with 13 yards on two carries through his 16 appearances on the season.

Jacob Cowing WR | SF
49ers' Jacob Cowing: Practice window could open soon
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Cowing (hamstring) could have his 21-day practice window opened during Week 18 prep, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Cowing has been slow to recover from the hamstring injury he sustained early in training camp, which has resulted in him spending the entire season to date on injured reserve. Shanahan had previously stated that the second-year wideout was on track to resume practicing following the 49ers' Week 14 bye, but nearly a month later, Cowing has yet to gain clearance for on-field work. Even if the 49ers elect to open Cowing's practice window at some point during the upcoming week, he's unlikely to be activated prior to Saturday's regular-season finale versus the Seahawks. A return at some point during the postseason could be on the table, however.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Deemed limited in walkthrough
Shaheed (concussion) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Shaheed suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's win over Carolina and is now in the league's five-step protocol. It's at least a promising sign that he was estimated as limited rather than DNP on Tuesday, though Seattle only held a walkthrough. Shaheed will need to clear the protocol to be eligible to play in Saturday's clash against San Francisco that will determine the No. 1 playoff seed in the NFC. Should Shaheed not be able to play, Jake Bobo and Dareke Young could see more targets on offense, with Young and Cam Akers options to take on kick returns duties.

Chris Blair WR | ATL
Chris Blair: Goes back to practice squad
Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday.
Blair was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's 27-24 win over the Rams and was limited to six snaps on special teams. He recorded one tackle on kick coverage but didn't see any reps at receiver, despite Atlanta making Casey Washington and Malik Heath healthy inactives for the game. Since Blair has now been elevated from the practice squad the maximum three times, he would need to be signed to the 53-man roster in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's season finale versus the Saints.
