Tennessee designated McMath (hip) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

McMath, a 2021 sixth-round pick, has been sidelined all season while recovering from a significant hip injury suffered during the preseason. Because he's been sidelined for several months, McMath may require more than one week of practices before being ready for game action, so he may not be formally activated from IR ahead of this Sunday's game against Jacksonville. The Titans will have 21 days to evaluate McMath in practice before deciding whether to add him to the 53-man roster or keep him on IR for the rest of the season.

Toney (hamstring) is expected to practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Toney last suited up Week 11, but the wideout's looming return to practice has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Once Toney is up to speed, he'll have a chance to claim key role in Kansas City's offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, especially while Mecole Hardman (abdomen) remains on injured reserve.

Davis won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Per Al Iannazzone of Newsday, Davis is one of several Jets players who are battling the flu at this stage of the week. The wideout has two more chances to practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Bills, but now that he's started the week with a missed session, Davis' status in worth tracking. In the Jets' 27-22 loss to the Vikings this past weekend, he served as the clear No. 2 option in the passing game behind star rookie Garrett Wilson, catching five of his 10 targets for 85 yards.

Collins was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an unspecified issue, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

The Texans will release their first Week 14 injury report later Wednesday, when it will be known what kept the wideout from turning in a full practice. Collins is coming off an outing in which he caught three passes on a team-high 10 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in this past Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns.

Cooks (calf) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Cooks may have picked up the calf issue in last Thursday's practice, when he was listed as a limited participant before sitting out Friday's session entirely and then being ruled out in advance of Sunday's eventual loss to the Browns. The wideout's continued absence from practice to begin Week 14 prep doesn't bode well for his initial chances of suiting up this Sunday in Dallas, but the Texans will see what kind of progress -- if any -- he makes during their next two practices before deciding on his status.

Callaway did not haul in his lone target during Monday's 17-16 loss versus the Buccaneers.

Callaway has fallen out of the Saints' wide receiver rotation, as he's now seen just two total targets while being a healthy scratch twice in the last four weeks. While he appeared to have a chance at a bigger role after Kevin White was waived last Monday, Callaway wound up playing just two more offensive snaps in Week 13 than core special-teamers Tre'Quan Smith (11) and Kirk Merritt (11), the latter of whom was just elevated from the practice squad. Rashid Shaheed has seen his playing time increase in each of the past four games, squeezing both Callaway and Smith out of the offensive game plan.

Proche secured both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Broncos.

On top of his uninspiring performance as a receiver, Proche was also given an opportunity in the game as a passer. Unfortunately, his only attempt on a gadget play in the fourth quarter was intercepted in the end zone on a throw to Kenyan Drake. The 26-year-old wideout played just 13 of the Ravens' 72 offensive snaps while operating as the team's No. 4 receiver. Proche can not be trusted for fantasy purposes with such limited usage. In addition, Baltimore's passing offense stands to take a hit with Lamar Jackson (knee) most likely sidelined for at least one game. The Ravens host the Steelers in Week 14.

Miller secured one of two targets for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Miller was in on just 15 snaps, which represented a 19 percent share of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The speedy reserve wideout is likely due for similar low-volume games the rest of the way as long as Julio Jones and Russell Gage are both healthy as the No. 3 and No. 4 receivers ahead of him.

Johnson failed to record a single target in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

Despite playing the second most offensive snaps (25) among Denver wide receivers, Johnson was a complete non-factor Sunday. The rookie's bump in playing time was the result of teammate Courtland Sutton exiting the game with a hamstring injury after playing just 23 snaps. With Sutton deemed "day-to-day" by head coach Nathaniel Hackett, Johnson could be in line for a similar workload in Week 14 when the Broncos host the Chiefs. Even if Sutton sits, Johnson will be extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes with the Broncos' aerial attack failing to take off.

McCutcheon (shoulder) is listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

After getting a DNP at Monday's walk-through, McCutcheon is trending in the right direction. He injured his shoulder in the team's Week 12 loss to Kansas City and missed their subsequent loss to the Seahawks. The 23-year-old preseason star would presumably be in line for increased opportunities if he is able to return, as Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) have both landed on the IR, but McCutcheon is still looking for his first official NFL reception.
