Coach Pete Carroll said Goodwin is dealing with an SC joint sprain in his left shoulder, which has left the wide receiver questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jets, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Goodwin has been tending to a wrist injury for nearly two weeks, but it appears the shoulder issue was the reason for back-to-back DNPs to start Week 17 prep. He even was spotted with a sling on his left shoulder during Thursday's practice, and Carroll's clarification of the health concern indicates Goodwin is in danger of missing his third game of the campaign. In the end, Goodwin's status will become known approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cracraft (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against New England, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Cracraft was unable to participate in Miami's first two practice sessions this week, but he returned in a limited capacity Friday and will have a chance to suit up in Week 17. If he remains out, Braylon Sanders could see some playing time once again.

Sutton (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Sutton picked up a hamstring injury Week 13 at Baltimore and sat out the next two games as a result. He was able to return this past Sunday at the Rams, hauling in five of seven targets for 64 yards on a 79 percent snap share. Fellow wide receivers Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) are questionable for Week 17 action, so if one or both sit out Sunday, Sutton could be in line for even more targets.

Cooks (personal) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.

Cooks made an appearance on Thursday's practice report as a DNP due to personal reasons, but it won't stop him from being available for Week 17 action. He'll be facing a Jacksonville defense Sunday that contained him to four catches (on six targets) for a season-low 20 yards back in Week 5.

Samuel (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Samuel will miss a third straight game even after returning to a limited practice Thursday. He reportedly didn't do much Friday, suggesting he's no lock to make it back Week 18 against the Cardinals, though the dual-threat wideout at least seems to be on track for the playoffs.

Thornton (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Given that DeVante Parker (concussion) remains out this week, Thornton should continue to see added snaps versus Miami, but with an 18/174/1 stat line on 36 targets through 11 games overall, the 2022 second-rounder isn't a high-percentage fantasy option in Week 17.

Goodwin (shoulder/wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Goodwin could be in danger of missing Week 17 action due to a combination of shoulder and wrist injuries. The former may be the bigger issue after it showed up this week, but he nonetheless has a chance to play Sunday, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Lockett (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Lockett practiced Thursday, on a limited basis, for the first time since undergoing surgery Dec. 19 to address a broken left index finger. He's more likely to drop the ball or fumble if he plays, but the Seahawks could use him even at less than 100 percent as they battle for a playoff spot. Their inactive list could be the subject of a lot of focus ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, as RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) and WR Marquise Goodwin (shoulder/wrist) also are listed as questionable.

Hopkins (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Potential shadow coverage from Falcons CB A.J. Terrell is the least of Hopkins' problems with David Blough set to start at QB for the Cardinals and their star wideout now considered questionable. Hopkins left Friday's practice early -- early enough to be considered a non-participant rather than limited -- and thus appears truly in danger of landing on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. A Hopkins absence would boost the volume projections for WRs Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green, plus TE Trey McBride.

Hinton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Hinton's hoping to make his return following a two-game absence. Fellow wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is also questionable while Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is trending toward playing. If all three suit up, Hinton will likely see limited volume in the No. 3 wide receiver role.
