  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Not practicing Friday

    Bateman (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Bateman was added to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report after being deemed a limited participant in Thursday's practice. With the wideout not present for Friday's session, his status for Sunday's game against the Bengals is now cloudy. If he's unavailable this weekend, added WR snaps alongside Zay Flowers would be available for some combination of DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Expected to play again this year

    Harrison (heel) won't play Sunday at Houston, but Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that he expects the wideout to return this season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Harrison will miss a second straight game after suffering a heel injury Week 13, his first game back from appendicitis. He'll now have missed four of the past five games, without any practice participation since injuring his heel, but Gannon did say Friday that Harrison is "doing a lot better," per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. In the meantime, Michael Wilson will lead Arizona's WR corps in a tough matchup this Sunday, with Andre Baccellia, Jalen Brooks, Trent Sherfield and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) being the other likely candidates for top-three roles. No. 2 TE Elijah Higgins also gets a boost in projected playing time with Arizona's WR room so depleted.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Questionable for Sunday

    Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Palmer (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Palmer, who last saw game action in Week 12, has been limited in practice this week, and the wideout's Week 15 status won't be confirmed until the Bills' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Palmer remains sidelined this weekend, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks would be in line to handle wideout duties versus New England. In Buffalo's Week 14 win over the Bengals, the team's TEs logged a combined 13 targets, while none of the Bills WRs had more than three.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Missing second straight game

    Head coach Jonathan Gannon ruled out Harrison (heel) for Sunday's game in Houston, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Harrison didn't practice in any fashion this week and will miss his second straight game due to the heel issue, ultimately being sidelined for the fourth time in five games overall after he was out Weeks 11 and 12 while recovering from an appendectomy. With Harrison unavailable once again, wideout Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride should continue to command heavy target volume from quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who is averaging 43.1 pass attempts per game through eight starts.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Clears protocol, ready for Sunday

    Lamb cleared concussion protocol Friday and will be available to play Sunday against the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    After sustaining the concussion in last Thursday's loss to the Lions, Lamb made rapid progress through the five-step protocol. He took the field for the Cowboys' first Week 15 practice Wednesday as a limited participant, then took another step forward Thursday, when he upgraded to full participation. Lamb has since been removed from the protocol after being cleared by an independent neurologist, setting the stage for him to handle his typical role Sunday. Since returning to action Week 7 following a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, Lamb is averaging 5.9 catches for 91.9 receiving yards and has scored three touchdowns over a stretch of seven contests.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Two catches in season debut

    McMillan (neck) brought in both targets for 38 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

    Making his long-awaited season debut following his recovery from a preseason neck injury, McMillan looked good while bringing in a pair of 19-yard grabs. One of those catches was originally ruled a 20-yard touchdown reception that was overturned on replay, when it was determined McMillan hadn't broken the plane of the goal line. The second-year wideout will have a chance to build on what was an encouraging initial performance when the Bucs travel to Carolina for a key Week 16 clash with the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 21.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Salvages night with TD

    Godwin brought in four of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. He also recorded a two-point conversion catch.

    Godwin tied for second in receptions on the night for the Buccaneers, even with both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan being active, and despite his very modest yardage total, he still delivered a serviceable fantasy night thanks to his three-yard TD grab and ensuing two-point conversion catch early in the fourth quarter. The TD was Godwin's first of the season, and he's now accumulated nine receptions over his last two games heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 21.

  • David Sills WR | ATL

    Falcons' David Sills: Career-best effort in win

    Sills secured six of 10 targets for 78 yards in the Falcons' 29-28 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

    Sills finished third across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Falcons on what was a banner night for the air attack, putting together a career-best effort in the process. The veteran West Virginia product continued to play an expanded role due to the absence of Drake London (knee), but Sills could be due for a reduction in opportunity in a Week 16 road matchup against the Cardinals that the former could be ready to suit up for.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Productive on four catches

    Egbuka brought in four of seven targets for 64 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

    Egbuka tied for second in receptions while also checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards and targets to the returning Mike Evans. Thursday marked the first time the Buccaneers' top four receivers -- Evans, Egbuka, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan -- played together, but Egbuka's target tally took only a slight hit from that of his previous four contests, when he'd drawn between eight and nine looks from Baker Mayfield. Egbuka also recorded multiple catches of 20-plus yards (two) for the first time since Week 10, and he'll aim to continue capitalizing on the reduced defensive attention in a Week 16 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 21.

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Stellar showing in IR return

    Evans (collarbone) brought in six of 12 targets for 132 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

    Taking the field for the first time since Week 7, Evans looked as good as head coach Todd Bowles had reported the star receiver had during this week's practices. Evans made his first catch for a gain of 12 yards on the Buccaneers' second drive, and he went on to add noteworthy gains of 12 and 33 yards later in the first half. On Tampa Bay's first possession after halftime, the perennial Pro Bowler would go on to add a 45-yard grab, which accounted for half of the yards on a drive that culminated in a Devin Culp six-yard touchdown catch. Evans' receptions, receiving yards and targets were all season highs, and he'll aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 16 divisional road clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 21.
