Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Injured in first half Sunday
Lockett is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Eagles with a wrist injury.
The 33-year-old caught two of four targets for 10 yards before sustaining this injury, which has left him questionable to return coming out of halftime. In his absence, Dont'e Thornton will likely take on a bigger role behind fellow wideouts Tre Tucker and Jack Bech while tight end Brock Bowers still serves as Las Vegas' No. 1 target. Over six games with the Raiders coming into Sunday's action, Lockett recorded 16 catches (on 20 targets) for 191 yards.

Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Ruled out with rib injury
Brown won't return to Sunday's game at the Giants due to a rib injury.
When Brown exited in the first half, the Commanders listed him with a back issue, which since has been reclassified to a different health concern. With Brown out for the rest of Week 15, Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane will be the tertiary wide receivers in Washington's offense behind top options Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

Andre Baccellia WR | ARI
Cardinals' Andre Baccellia: Carted off field
Baccellia (neck) was stretchered off the field during Sunday's game against the Texans and will not return, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Baccellia suffered a scary neck injury late in the second quarter, but the good news is that the 28-year-old wideout had full movement in his extremities. He's been taken to a local hospital to undergo further tests, and without Baccellia the rest of the day, Emari Demercado will likely serve as the Cardinals' primary returner on kickoffs.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Questionable to return
Jones (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Jones exited the game late in the first half of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Ravens. The 27-year-old plays a majority of his snaps on special teams as a returner. If he is unable to play, Mitchell Tinsley and Samaje Perine will likely take over return duties.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Back in Sunday's game
Worthy (head) returned to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Worthy exited the contest to be evaluated for a possible concussion but subsequently cleared protocol. In the process, he'll rejoin a Week 15 WR corps that also includes Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: In concussion protocol Sunday
Worthy is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Prior to leaving the game, Worthy did not record a catch. While he's sidelined, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals are candidates to see added snaps alongside top WR Rashee Rice.

Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Exits Sunday's game
Brown was forced out of Sunday's game against the Giants with a back injury.
Prior to his exit, Brown caught his only target for 28 yards. In his absence, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane are available to handle the Commanders' WR duties.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Out Sunday after late setback
Odunze aggravated the stress fracture in his foot during pregame warmups and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
After sitting out the Bears' Week 14 loss to the Packers, Odunze had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices. The Bears felt comfortable making Odunze active for the contest, but they'll ultimately have to play a man down as a result of his late setback. With Odunze unavailable, Chicago will be left with receivers DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus and tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet as its main pass-catching options.

Jahdae Walker WR | CHI
Bears' Jahdae Walker: Inactive for Week 15
Walker (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's battle against the Browns.
This is not out of the norm for Walker, who has played in just six of Chicago's 13 contests so far this season. When he has suited up, most of Walker's work has come on special teams, so the rookie's inactive status Sunday should have almost no bearing on the Bears' offense.

Tyler Johnson WR | NYJ
Jets' Tyler Johnson: Healthy scratch vs. Jacksonville
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Johnson will be a healthy scratch for the third time in four games. The Jets will roll with John Metchie, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, Allen Lazard and Arian Smith as the active wide receivers for Sunday's contest. Johnson's next chance to play is Week 16 against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 21.
