Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Questionable to return
Gould (foot) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Gould exited in the second half of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. The 24-year-old had one reception for three yards. While Gould is out, Josh Downs or Ameer Abdullah will likely take over kick return duties.

Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Inactive in Week 14
Weaver (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Rams.
In a receiving corps that already was trending toward being without Marvin Harrison (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) in Week 14, Weaver showed up on Thursday's injury report as limited due to a hamstring issue and then wasn't able to practice at all Friday, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Saturday evening that Weaver wasn't in line to play this weekend, which now has come to pass. With Harrison also inactive and Dortch placed on injured reserve Saturday, the Cardinals will be rolling with Trent Sherfield, Andre Baccellia and Jalen Brooks at wide receiver behind clear-cut No. 1 option Michael Wilson.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Returning to action Sunday
Golden (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Golden has missed three of the last four contests due to shoulder and wrist injuries, but in his return to the lineup Week 14, he'll welcome back third-year WR Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder), who has been sidelined since Week 2. Considering all of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks entered the weekend without designations, Golden and Reed may be capped to certain situations behind that trio. Having said that, Golden has managed just a 24-286-0 line on 32 targets in nine appearances to begin his career, so he's difficult to trust for consistent production.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Back in action in Week 14
Reed (foot/shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Reed spent much of training camp and the entire preseason sidelined due to what eventually was termed a Jones fracture in his left foot. Then, during a Week 2 win against the Commanders, he fell hard on his right shoulder while hauling in a would-be TD that was nullified by a penalty, and he was diagnosed with a broken collarbone afterward. He underwent procedures to address both injuries Sept. 16, before the Packers designated him for return from injured reserve Nov. 21. After Reed was activated from IR on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported later that day that the third-year pro was expected to suit up Sunday, which now has been confirmed. Reed wasn't listed as anything other than limited on Green Bay practice reports leading up to his return, so there's a chance he's eased in while working alongside fellow WRs Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Matthew Golden (wrist).

Malachi Corley WR | CLE
Browns' Malachi Corley: Enters concussion protocol
Corley has entered the league's concussion protocol and will not return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Corley was shaken up on a jet sweep run after being tackled by Amani Hooker. Gage Larvadain should see more reps at wide receiver, and Jerome Ford and Isaiah Bond are in line for more work as returners on kickoffs in Corley's absence.

Xavier Gipson WR | NYG
Xavier Gipson: Waived by Eagles
The Eagles announced they have waived Gipson on Sunday.
Gipson missed the Eagles' Week 13 loss to the Bears due to a shoulder injury and was limited in practice until Friday, when he was a full participant. The 24-year-old had two receptions for six yards in six games this season.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | PIT
Steelers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Active to face Ravens
Valdes-Scantling is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Valdes-Scantling has been on Pittsburgh's practice squad since early November, and he'll make his team debut roughly one month later. He's likely to serve as the team's fourth receiver behind DK Metcalf, Adam Thielen and Calvin Austin, but he should still find himself on the field for plenty of snaps. While he's reunited with Aaron Rodgers, Valdes-Scantling isn't likely to make a fantasy impact.

Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Steelers' Adam Thielen: Set for Steelers debut
Thielen is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Thielen was claimed off waivers by the Steelers on Tuesday and will now be active just five days later. Pittsburgh has been without a viable No. 2 receiver behind DK Metcalf all season, so Thielen should be in for a significant role immediately. However, due to limited pass volume and his own declining skill set, that role still isn't likely to lead to fantasy relevance in most formats.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Not playing in Week 14
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Though Walker didn't take an injury designation into Sunday after a groin issue limited his participation in a pair of practices this week, the second-year wideout will hit the inactive list for the first time since Week 10. The Ravens will go with DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester as their depth receivers behind starters Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Roman Wilson WR | PIT
Steelers' Roman Wilson: Healthy scratch
Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
The Steelers added Adam Thielen and elevated Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad this week, giving their wide-receiver corps some depth. That pushed Wilson down the depth chart, though the team opted to make Scotty Miller active ahead of him, after Miller had previously been a healthy scratch. This will mark Wilson's first missed game of the season.
