  • Eagles' Olamide Zaccheaus: No targets in Week 13

    Zacchaeus didn't log any targets in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.

    Zaccheaus now has seven catches and 14 targets in 12 games played this season after going untargeted for the first time since Week 2. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for 24 targets, leaving little for the rest of the receiving corps, even in a game in which the Eagles threw 48 times.

  • Julio Jones WR | PHI

    Eagles' Julio Jones: Not targeted in Week 13 loss

    Jones did not see a single target in Sunday's loss to San Francisco.

    Jones played more than 50 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps in Weeks 11 and 12, but his snap count plummeted to just 10 (of 72) in Week 13. The knee issue which limited Jones in practice may have been the culprit, but the fact that fellow wideout Quez Watkins saw his snap count jump from 16 to 46 in his second week back from a hamstring injury also may have been relevant.

  • Jacob Copeland WR | PIT

    Jacob Copeland: Gets cut from practice squad

    Pittsburgh cut Copeland from its practice squad Monday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Pittsburgh added Copeland to its practice squad less than a week ago, but it's now cutting ties with him. He's still waiting to make his regular-season NFL debut, and now he may have to wait for another opportunity with a different team.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Diagnosed with AC joint sprain

    Coach Sean McVay said Nacua suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during Sunday's 36-19 win against the Browns, but he doesn't expect the wide receiver to miss the Rams' Week 14 road matchup with the Ravens, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Nacua was on and off the field due to two health concerns Sunday, first due to cramps and then what was originally reported to be a rib issue as he favored his right shoulder and side when he exited for the second time. He was able to return both times and ended up with the fifth 100-yard performance (4-105-1 line on seven targets) of his rookie campaign, including a 70-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. With the nature of his current injury clarified, there's a chance Nacua operates with practice restrictions this week as the Rams prepare for Sunday's game.

  • 49ers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Still dealing with injury

    McCloud (ribs) is considered day-to-day to start Week 14 prep, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    McCloud missed the team's Week 13 win over the Eagles, but it appears he has a chance to return Sunday against the Seahawks based on his day-to-day status. However, if he's unable to play, Deebo Samuel and Ronnie Bell will likely fill in for the return game as they did against Philadelphia.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Coach Matt LaFleur relayed Monday that the Packers expect to know more about Watson's right hamstring injury Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    The report indicates that Watson will probably undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury, but on the plus side, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com noted that the wideout "did seem to be moving better (Monday) during a brief sighting in the locker room." Prior to suffering his injury in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Chiefs, Watson caught seven of his nine targets for 71 yards and two TDs while adding two carries for 15 yards.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: No targets

    Raymond rushed once for nine yards during Sunday's win over the Saints.

    After putting together one of his best games as a receiver in last week's loss to Green Bay, Raymond was barely a part of the game plan this time around. The diminutive deep threat will remain a risky bet for statistical production when the Lions take on the Bears in Week 14.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Scores on double reverse

    Williams secured his only target for 11 yards while rushing once for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's win over the Saints.

    Williams again logged around 60 percent of the offensive snaps, but an increased workload in the passing game has yet to follow the jump in playing time he is seeing. At least Williams made the most of the touches he had, with one of the game's highlights being a double reverse that saw Willams display his high-end speed for a 19-yard rushing touchdown. The Alabama product will next take aim at a Chicago defense allowing the sixth-most points per game (24.7) in 2023.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Titans' Treylon Burks: Limited role in return

    Burks (concussion) was not targeted in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts.

    Burks returned from a three-game absence but was on the field for only nine offensive snaps. His role will presumably tick back up as he adjusts to game action, though the Tennessee offense has struggled to sustain consistent production for its pass catchers throughout the season.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Lions' Josh Reynolds: Does little with three targets

    Reynolds caught one of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's win over the Saints.

    Right when it looked like Reynolds was losing grip of the No. 2 WR role, he has his highest snap share since Week 8. However, it may not matter who holds down this role given how the passing game is flowing through Amon-Ra St. Brown and tight end Sam LaPorta. It will be hard to trust any other Lions receiver entering a Week 14 matchup with Chicago.
