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.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: Could benefit sans Johnston
Harris is expected to serve as the Chargers' primary 'X' receiver in Sunday's game against the Chiefs with Quentin Johnston (groin) inactive for the contest, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Though wideouts Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen as well as tight end Oronde Gadsden are likely to remain prioritized in the passing game ahead of him, Harris should see his role grow in Week 15. The rookie second-round pick has thus far drawn considerable praise for his physicality as a run blocker, but he should be in line for more route-running opportunities Sunday. When Johnston was previously sidelined Week 6 against Miami while tending to a hamstring injury, Harris set season highs in snap share (83 percent) and targets (five) and finished with four catches for 27 yards.

Malachi Corley WR | CLE
Browns' Malachi Corley: Available for Week 15
Corley (concussion) is active for Sunday's clash against Chicago.
Corley suffered a concussion last Sunday against Tennessee, but he's since been able to clear concussion protocol and is set to suit up Sunday. The second-year wideout has had an inconsistent role in Cleveland's offense, though he had logged a snap share north of 25 percent in each of the four weeks prior to getting hurt. Corley has also been working as one of the team's top kick returners.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Ready to face Jets
Washington (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
The 23-year-old was considered questionable despite putting in a full practice Friday, so it's not much of a surprise he's good to suit up Week 15. After sitting out last week's win over the Colts due to the hip issue, Washington should reclaim his role as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout behind Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Not cleared to play Week 15
Olszewski (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Olszewski earned the questionable tag for Week 15 after logging a full practice Friday, but it appears he has not progressed through the league's concussion protocol enough to be cleared to play Sunday. In his absence, the Giants will likely turn to Deonte Banks and Devin Singletary for return duties on kickoffs and punts. Olszewski's next opportunity to play is Week 16 against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Set to face Bears
Tillman (concussion/ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Tillman didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, but he managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up, which also signifies that he cleared the league's concussion protocol. Tillman has yet to show much rapport with Shedeur Sanders, as he has only two catches for 28 yards across the three games that Sanders has started.
