Nailor (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Nailor had already been ruled out for the Vikings' regular-season finale, but he'll be forced to miss the team's next four games after going on IR. Unless Minnesota is able to make it to the Super Bowl, the second-year wideout's season is over. Nailor has struggled to stay on the field this year, appearing in just six games and catching three passes for 29 yards.

Agnew (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

This move comes as no surprise considering Agnew suffered a fracture in his lower leg in the second quarter of the Jaguars' Week 17 win over the Panthers. The 28-year-old wideout finishes his 2023 regular-season campaign with 14 catches for 225 yards and one touchdown. Additionally, Agnew returned 15 kicks and 14 punts for for 535 total yards, averaging just over 28 yards per return. D'Ernest Johnson and Parker Washington are expected to assume Jacksonville's kick and punt return duties for the remainder of the year.

The Bengals elevated Morgan to their active roster Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Morgan was elevated to Cincinnati's active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver due to Tee Higgins (hamstring) being likely to miss the team's season finale. The 27-year-old Morgan has already appeared in two games for the Bengals this season, failing to record a stat while playing 34 total snaps (four offensive and 30 on special teams).

Kirk (groin) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After practicing in limited fashion all week, Kirk was seemingly trending in this direction. Although he is now on the active roster, the pass catcher remains questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Titans. Final confirmation on his status will depend on how he feels during his pre-game workout.

Kirk (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup for the Titans, appears likely to be activated off injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It appears as if Kirk, who is eligible to be activated off injured reserve at any time, could suit up Sunday, but in order for that to occur the Jaguars must first have him rejoin the active roster. It helps that Kirk also managed to practice in limited fashion all week, giving more credence to Rapoport's report. If the move does get made, expect the productive wide receiver to still be technically listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's contest, with a pre-game workout likely determining whether he'll officially play.

Pascal is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Pascal popped up on the Cardinals' injury report with a hamstring issue Thursday and has since logged a pair of limited practice sessions. The veteran receiver has played a limited role for Arizona this season, and he hasn't caught a pass since Week 4 against San Francisco. If Pascal is unable to suit up Sunday, Dan Chisena could be signed to the active roster from the practice squad to provide wideout depth Week 18.

Gray (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Gray remains on injured reserve but is eligible to be activated prior to Sunday's contest. He's yet to play this season but could have an opportunity to see offensive playing time against Los Angeles with Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk expected to rest.

McCloud (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCloud still remains on injured reserve for the time being, so San Francisco would have to add him to the 53-man roster before 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for him to be eligible to play Sunday. The 27-year-old was designated for return from IR on Wednesday and proceeded to turn in three full practices this week, so he looks as though he's fully moved past the rib issue that has sidelined him for the last five games. McCloud has provided most of his value to San Francisco this season as a return specialist, but if available Sunday, he could see an expanded profile on offense with star receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk both being candidates to get rested during the contest.

Jennings (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

After sitting out the 49ers' last two games while recovering from a concussion, Jennings was able to take the field for practices this week, albeit as a limited participant. According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Jennings still has one more stage of the five-step concussion protocol to clear, but if he's able to get the green light from an independent neurologist Saturday, he could be able to make his return to the lineup a day later in the 49ers' regular-season finale. San Francisco has already locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and is expected to rest several key players, but Jennings could be in store for something close to or greater than his typical workload if he manages to clear the protocol. Jennings had been serving as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver prior to suffering the concussion, but he hadn't played more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in any of his last six outings while San Francisco had made liberal use of sets featuring a fullback or two tight ends.

Sutton (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Sutton's lack of injury designation suggests he has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. He missed the Week 17 win over the Chargers and was limited in practice Wednesday but upgraded to full participation Thursday and Friday. Sutton caught 10 touchdown passes from Russell Wilson in 15 games prior to getting injured, but he'll have Jarrett Stidham as his quarterback for the season finale with Wilson benched.
