The Cardinals list Brown (groin) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown was a mid-week addition to the Cardinals' injury report after he logged a limited practice Thursday before having his reps capped again Friday on account of the groin issue. The receiver's ability to practice in any fashion to close out Week 16 prep is a good sign, but an official word on his status for Sunday's game likely won't arrive until Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If Brown suits up, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from third-string quarterback Trace McSorley, who is picking up his first NFL start with Kyler Murray (knee) on injured reserve and with Colt McCoy (concussion) ruled out for the Week 16 game.

Beasley has been elevated from the Bills' practice squad ahead of Saturday's game against the Bears.

In last weekend's 32-29 win over the Dolphins, Beasley logged 11 of a possible 78 snaps on offense, catching his only target for nine yards. While it's possible the veteran slot man's role could increase in the coming weeks, he still has Isaiah McKenzie and Khalil Shakir to contend with for targets that don't go to Buffalo's top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

Cracraft (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Packers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Cracraft was unable to practice at all this week and appears headed for a third consecutive absence. The 28-year-old wide receiver caught six of his seven targets in the two games preceding his injury.

Chicago elevated Webster from its practice squad to the active roster Friday ahead of Saturday's game against Buffalo, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

With Chase Claypool (knee) doubtful and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) out for Saturday's matchup, Webster will be elevated to the active roster for a second consecutive week. The undrafted wideout out of Eastern Washington caught two of three targets for 14 yards across 10 offensive snaps during last week's loss to Philadelphia, marking his first career NFL receptions. Given Chicago's depleted wideout corps, Webster figures to garner a similar role in Week 16.

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

Sutton -- who last saw game action in Week 13 -- has been able to practice all week, which appears to bode well for his chances of suiting up this weekend, but his status will need to be confirmed prior to Sunday's 4:30 ET kickoff. If available, Sutton would be in line to reclaim a key role in Denver's offense opposite fellow WR Jerry Jeudy. Through 12 contests prior to his injury, Sutton compiled a 52-688-1 line on 89 targets.

Houston signed Turner to its practice squad Friday.

Just a few days after being cut from the Raiders' practice squad, Turner has already found another opportunity to make an impression with the Texans. With Nico Collins (foot) recently having landed on the injured reserve list and Brandin Cooks (calf) and Chris Moore (foot) both questionable for Week 16, Turner could see himself elevated to the active roster sooner rather than later.

Hinton (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Rams, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

Hinton will sit, but the Broncos could be getting back Courtland Sutton (hamstring), who's listed as questionable. Russell Wilson (concussion) has been cleared entirely and will play against the Rams. Hinton will set his sights on Jan. 1 as his next possible return date against Kansas City.

Collins (foot) was placed on the reserve/injured list Friday.

Collins will miss the remainder of the season. The 23-year-old wide receiver finishes up the 2022 campaign with 37 catches for 481 yards and two touchdowns on 66 targets across 10 games. Brandin Cooks is expected to return from a calf injury Sunday against the Titans and will likely command plenty of volume given Houston's dearth of viable alternatives.

Sutton (hamstring) practiced Friday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Sutton's participation level will be clarified when Denver's injury report comes out later Friday, but he has participated to some extent in every practice leading up to Sunday's game against the Rams. The wide receiver appears set to make his return, as is quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion).

Jones caught three of four targets for 15 yards during Thursday's 19-3 win over the Jets.

Evan Engram had seven receptions for 113 yards during Thursday's contest and was the only Jacksonville pass catcher with at least 30 yards. Jones is averaging 1.8 receptions and 21.0 yards across the past six games and has minimal fantasy relevance, especially with Engram now enjoying a consistent role in the passing game.
