  • Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Exits Week 16 with toe issue

    Eskridge (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Cincinnati.

    Eskridge was hurt in the third quarter and exited to the locker room with trainers. He's been working as both a depth wideout and a kick returner for the Dolphins. Malik Washington figures to be the primary option in the latter role while Eskridge remains out.

  • Texans' Christian Kirk: Cleared to play vs. Las Vegas

    Kirk (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Kirk was battling through an illness over the weekend, but the veteran wide receiver has progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's home tilt. He has failed to record a target in two of his last three games and has accumulated 22 catches (on 40 targets) for 204 yards and one touchdown through 10 regular-season games. Based on recent usage, Kirk appears to have dropped to the No. 5 receiver spot behind Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson and rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel.

  • Malik Heath WR | ATL

    Falcons' Malik Heath: Won't play due to personal matter

    Heath (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Heath was slated to make his Falcons debut Sunday, but he returned to Atlanta to attend a personal matter, per Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site. Heath's next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Rams on Monday, Dec. 29.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Won't return Sunday

    Flournoy (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Flournoy caught two passes for 18 yards and a touchdown before sustaining a knee injury on a hard hit in the first half. The 26-year-old came into Week 16 with 33 catches (on 47 targets) for 406 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games. In his absence, the Cowboys will have four available wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, KaVontae Turpin and Jonathan Mingo. Flournoy will have a short time to recover before Dallas' Week 16 contest versus the Commanders on Christmas Day.

  • Xavier Weaver WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Returns in Week 16

    Weaver (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Weaver has missed the last two contests due to a hamstring injury, but his return to action coincides with Marvin Harrison's (heel), meaning the former likely will remain a tertiary player in the Cardinals' passing game in Week 16. Fellow WRs Michael Wilson, Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims also are available to the offense.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Harrison back in lineup

    Wilson may cede some targets to Marvin Harrison (heel) in the latter's return to the lineup Sunday versus the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    The Cardinals are getting Harrison back following a two-game absence due to a heel injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that the second-year wide receiver is expected to be eased back in, meaning Wilson should remain the team's top option at the position Week 16. With Harrison sidelined four times in the last five contests, Wilson has compiled a 44-535-3 line on 67 targets during that span.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Returning to action Sunday

    London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    London is putting an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, but his inability to practice in any more than a limited capacity during Week 16 prep suggests he may not be able to handle his normal workload. Nevertheless, he put together three straight 100-yard receiving efforts in his last stretch of play Weeks 9-11, so he likely will resume his status as the Falcons' No. 1 WR, at the very least, for QB Kirk Cousins.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Back in action in Week 16

    Harrison (heel) is listed as active Sunday against the Falcons.

    Harrison is putting an end to a two-game absence -- and four DNPs in the past five contests -- but according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the second-year wide receiver likely will be eased back in after being limited in all three Week 16 sessions as he attempts to put a heel injury behind him. Assuming Harrison's snap count is curtailed, Michael Wilson will continue to operate as the Cardinals' top option at the position, while Xavier Weaver (hamstring), Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims also will be on hand for snaps and targets.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Hurts knee in Week 16

    Flournoy sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Chargers, AllDLLS.com reports.

    Flournoy was on the receiving end of a big hit from the Chargers' Denzel Perryman at the end of a 13-yard catch that resulted in the linebacker being flagged for unnecessary roughness. Prior to his exit in the second quarter, Flournoy hauled in both of his targets for 18 yards and one touchdown.

  • Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG

    Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Shrinks back to inactive status

    Hyatt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 contest versus Minnesota, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Hyatt was also a healthy scratch Week 13 against New England. The third-year wideout did get to participate last Sunday versus Washington, but he saw only four offensive snaps and didn't catch his lone target. Gunner Olszewski missed that game due to a concussion but is back for Week 16, which likely is the reason for Hyatt reverting to inactive.
