Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus are candidates to take on more snaps and targets in the absence of Rome Odunze (foot) this Sunday at Green Bay, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

It's a tough matchup, on the road in cold weather, but Odunze's absence opens up a lot of playing time and targets for some talented players in ancillary roles. Burden is among those, having recently replaced Zaccheaus as the No. 3 receiver, but the Bears also may lean more heavily on any of WR DJ Moore, RB D'Andre Swift, TE Colston Loveland or TE Cole Kmet to take on larger receiving roles in Odunze's absence.

Odunze, who was ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and is considered week-to-week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The report suggests Odunze should return at some point in December, with the expectation being that rest will help (he didn't practice at all this week) .The stress fracture helps explain his drastic downturn in production after a fast start to the season, though other factors contributed there as well. In Odunze's absence, the Bears figure to deploy DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus as their top three WRs against the Packers.

Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Young will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in early November. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a full practice participant during Week 14 prep, but the 2022 seventh-rounder is not quite ready to be activated from IR. Given his ability to practice in full, Young has a good chance to be available for the Seahawks' Week 15 clash against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Johnston (shoulder) was a full practice participant Friday.

During Johnston's limited session Thursday, he was seen wearing a non-contact jersey, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. A return to all activity one day later indicates Johnston is good to go ahead of Monday's game versus the Eagles, but since a hot start to the season, he's taken a significant downturn in the Chargers offense, with just a 14-148-3 line on 28 targets over his last six appearances.

Walker (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Despite suffering a setback Thursday with his groin injury, Walker was a full participant in Friday's practice and was able to clear injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional contest. The wide receiver received two targets in last Thursday's loss to the Bengals, but was unable to corral either.

Brown (groin/knee/rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Brown practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday but didn't take part Friday, though Friday's absence appears to have been for rest purposes. He'll need to be officially activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in order to suit up, but Keim expects that transaction to take place Saturday, which would pave the way for Brown to suit up for the first time since Week 2.

Weaver (hamstring) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

The Cardinals added Weaver to the injury report midweek, listing him as a limited participant Thursday. An absence Friday supports the notion that Weaver was injured during Thursday's session, leaving him uncertain to play ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. With Marvin Harrison (calf) and Greg Dortch (chest) already ruled out, the Cardinals will need help from the practice squad behind Michael Wilson and Andre Baccellia.

Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams will miss a second consecutive game due to his foot injury. Prior to getting hurt, the rookie third-round pick didn't exceed 33 receiving yards in any of his 11 appearances. Williams' next opportunity to take the field will come Sunday, Dec. 14 at Denver.

Adams (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Adams never seemed in serious danger of missing the game and should be ready for his usual workload after logging a full practice Friday. He's seen at least five targets and 35 snaps in every appearance this season, scoring 14 TDs in 12 games along the way.

Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Golden has a chance to return following a two-game absence. He was a limited participant in all three of Green Bay's practices during Week 14 prep. If the rookie first-round pick suits up, it remains to be seen how much playing time he will see in a Packers receiving corps that will have Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks available, as well as possibly Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR).
