Goodwin (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

The 33-year-old wide receiver is in line to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, as he continues to recover from a concussion. Goodwin has appeared in eight games for the Browns this year, catching three of his 11 targets for 10 yards while playing 84 total snaps (all on offense). With Goodwin missing Sunday's contest, David Bell and James Proche could very well see increased opportunities in Cleveland's WR room.

Boutte (shoulder/illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The rookie wideout is in line to miss his ninth game of the year Sunday, as he continues to recover from an illness and a shoulder issue. Boutte has hauled in two of his seven targets on the year, playing a total of 92 snaps (all on offense).

Higgins (hamstring/ankle) was listed as a full practice participant Friday.

After returning to a limited practice Thursday, Higgins -- who has missed three straight games -- returned to a full session Friday, which sets the stage for the wideout to return to action Monday night against the Jaguars. Prior to being sidelined, Higgins compiled a 27-328-2 line on 51 targets through seven games. In his looming return to the lineup, Higgins should reclaim a key role in the Bengals' WR corps, but his fantasy upside could take a hit now that he'll be catching passes from QB Jake Browning instead of Joe Burrow, who is on IR after wrist surgery.

Cooper (rest/ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Rams, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Cooper took a hit to his midsection in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Denver, and a return was ruled out for him not long after due to a rib injury. On Monday, X-rays came back negative on his ribs, and he proceeded to sit out Wednesday before managing back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 13 prep. According to Petrak, Cooper was seen donning some padding on his right ribs Thursday, so he appears as if he'll have some protection on the affected region when he takes the field Sunday.

Claypool (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Claypool logged a limited practice session both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to practice without limitations Friday, and it now seems as if he's moved past his knee issue. The 2020 second-round pick has been inactive for four of the Dolphins' seven games since getting traded to Miami, and he'll at least be available for Sunday's contest.

Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after missing practice Friday.

Brown, who has been sidelined for two straight contests, logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before being downgraded to no activity Friday. The wideout's status for this weekend's contest thus is cloudy, though fortunately for those interested in utilizing either Brown or Tank Dell (calf, questionable) in Week 13 fantasy lineups, the Texans kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Pascal (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Also per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Pascal is not traveling with the Cardinals on Friday but is expected to join the team again Saturday. That would suggest he'll probably play in Week 13, but if he can't, it will likely mean more playing time for Andre Baccellia.

Dell (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Dell was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's session. The rookie wide receiver picked up the calf injury in the Week 12 loss to Jacksonville, but coach DeMeco Ryans expressed confidence during the week that Dell would be available come Sunday. With Dell and Noah Brown (knee) both listed as questionable, a full picture of Houston's receiving corps against the Broncos likely won't materialize until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Woods (Achilles) was handed a six-game suspension Friday for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

While taking part in an offseason workout with quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) in April, Woods suffered a ruptured Achilles, so he already was out for the season. Now, Woods won't get a paycheck for the final six games of the campaign following the suspension. Considering the timing of the injury, the 2022 sixth-round pick may be healthy by the start of the 2024 offseason program, with five catches (on 10 targets) for 45 yards in 10 career appearances to date.

Mims (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Mims avoided the Broncos' final Week 13 injury report by upgrading to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions. The rookie out of Oklahoma should continue to work as Denver's return man on special teams while filling a depth role at wide receiver. Mims has caught more than two passes in a game only once in his young career while chipping in one receiving touchdown and one kick return touchdown.
