Dyami Brown WR | JAC
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Suiting up vs. Colts
Brown is officially active for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.
After being a healthy scratch last week at Tennessee, Brown is back in the fold Sunday since Parker Washington (hip) is unavailable. The 26-year-old Brown should compete with Tim Patrick and Austin Trammell for playing time behind top wideouts Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.

Jermaine Burton WR | CIN
Bengals' Jermaine Burton: Suspended for Sunday's game
Burton (suspension) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously reported that Burton didn't travel to Buffalo for non-injury related reasons, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network subsequently noting that Burton was suspended for Sunday's contest. The 2024 third-rounder has yet to see regular-season action this season. Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones are slated to handle the Bengals' Week 14 WR duties.

Tyler Johnson WR | NYJ
Jets' Tyler Johnson: Healthy inactive for Week 14
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson will be a healthy scratch for the second time in the Jets' last three games despite the absences of Josh Reynolds (hip - IR) and Garrett Wilson (knee - IR). John Metchie, Adonai Mitchell, Allen Lazard, running back Breece Hall and rookie tight Mason Taylor will serve as Tyrod Taylor's top pass catchers for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Johnson's next opportunity to play is Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Inactive Sunday
Washington (hip) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Washington received the questionable tag after sustaining the hip injury last week versus Tennessee and will miss his first game of the season Sunday. Tim Patrick, Dyami Brown and Austin Trammell should battle for reps as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout behind starters Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.
-
Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Playing through back issue Sunday
Olave (back) is active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.
For the second week in a row, Olave took a questionable tag into game day, but he'll once again be able to play though the back issue after turning in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Olave didn't appear to be operating with any restrictions during last week's loss to the Dolphins, finishing with four catches for 47 yards on seven targets while notching his fifth touchdown catch of the season.
-
Casey Washington WR | ATL
Falcons' Casey Washington: Won't play vs. Seattle
Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Washington will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game despite the continued absence of Drake London (knee). Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts will lead the Falcons' pass catchers Sunday, which also includes David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins. Washington's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Buccaneers, though he's unlikely to play in that contest unless the Falcons require additional depth at wide receiver.
-
Josh Palmer WR | BUF
Bills' Joshua Palmer: Inactive Sunday
Palmer (knee/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
After logging three consecutive 'DNP' listings this week, Palmer -- who was inactive in Week 13 -- was deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. In his continued absence, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks will handle Buffalo's WR duties versus Cincinnati.
-
Mike Evans WR | TB
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Pushing for Week 15 return
Evans (collarbone) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Saints but is pushing to return from injured reserve and could be activated ahead of next Thursday's contest versus the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Though he'll be sidelined for a sixth consecutive game this weekend, Evans took a major step forward in his recovery from a broken clavicle by returning to practice this week. He was a limited participant throughout the week, so Evans may need to upgrade to full participation at some point during the Buccaneers' shortened Week 15 prep period to boost his odds of suiting up against Atlanta. If Evans doesn't make enough progress to play next week, a return to action Week 16 versus the Panthers on Dec. 21 would be a realistic target for the veteran receiver.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Likely to be sidelined Sunday
Washington (hip), who is officially questionable to suit up against Indianapolis on Sunday, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Washington had to miss most of Sunday's win over Tennessee after suffering a hip injury. He logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week, and it looks like that won't be enough for him to take the field against the Colts. Austin Trammell, Tim Patrick, or Dyami Brown may be asked to slide up to the team's No. 3 wideout role behind Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.

Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Looking unlikely for Week 14
Weaver, who is officially questionable to suit up against the Rams on Sunday due to a hamstring issue, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Cardinals No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison (calf) and depth wideout Greg Dortch (chest, IR) have already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup, so Weaver could have a big role if he's able to suit up. However, he's not trending in the direction of being able to do so after logging an FP/LP/DNP practice progression during the week. Needless to say, Arizona's wide-receiver corps is going to be severely depleted, especially if Weaver is indeed inactive. Michael Wilson should get all the targets he can handle, while the team's other WR options will include Andre Baccellia along with practice-squad elevations Trent Sherfield and Jalen Brooks.
