  • 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 | SF

    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.

  • 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.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Likely to play through injury again

    Olave, who is officially questionable to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay due to a lingering back issue, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Olave also dealt with the back issue last week, but he was able to play and logged a 4-47-1 receiving line in a loss to Miami. The veteran wideout sat out one practice and was limited in two others during Week 14 prep, but he appears to have done enough to put himself on a path to suit up again Sunday. Despite New Orleans' inconsistent quarterback play throughout the campaign, Olave has tied a career-high mark with five receiving touchdowns while posting 781 yards on 73 catches through 12 games.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Expected to make return Sunday

    Reed (foot/shoulder), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against Chicago, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Reed's last game action came in Week 2, when he broke his collarbone on an attempted catch versus Washington. The third-year wideout was designated to return Friday, Nov. 21, but he wasn't activated from IR until Saturday. That move signaled that Reed is likely to take the field in Sunday's big NFC North clash against the Bears. It remains to be seen if Reed will be under any sort of snap limit following the extended absence, but if he does suit up he should be among the top three in the Packers' wideout pecking order along with Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.

  • Bengals' Jermaine Burton: Won't play Sunday

    Burton didn't travel to Buffalo and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills for a non-injury-related reason, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    The 2024 third-round pick has yet to play in a game this season, including in Week 12 against the Patriots when Ja'Marr Chase served a suspension and in Week 13 when Tee Higgins sat out with a concussion. The second-year wideout will remain inactive once again this week.

  • DJ Turner WR | LV

    Raiders' DJ Turner: Elevated for Sunday

    The Raiders elevated Turner from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Turner is set to play in his first game of the 2025 season and was likely elevated due to the injuries to wide receivers Dont'e Thornton (concussion) and Alex Bachman (thumb). The 28-year-old Turner has both kick and punt return value, logging 106 kick return yards and 77 punt return yards through 12 games in the 2024 season.

  • Raiders' Shedrick Jackson: Elevated for Week 14

    The Raiders elevated Jackson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Week 14 will be Jackson's second elevation this year, with the wide receiver being elevated for the Raiders' Week 7 game against the Chiefs due to the absence of Alex Bachman. The 26-year-old Jackson logged nine percent of offense snaps in the 31-0 loss, but he is likely in for a slightly increased workload this time around, as Dont'e Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out alongside Bachman (thumb) for this Sunday's contest.
