Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Giving it a go Sunday
Williams (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams was limited in practice throughout the week due to a lingering foot injury. The rookie wideout will play through the issue for a second straight contest, though his already limited role on offense could be further reduced with fellow wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) returning from a one-week absence.

Braxton Berrios WR | HOU
Texans' Braxton Berrios: Won't play against Tennessee
Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Berrios will observe Sunday's AFC South tilt in street clothes while the Texans go with five active wide receivers in Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Christian Kirk, Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson. Berrios' next opportunity to play is Thursday against Buffalo.

Josh Palmer WR | BUF
Bills' Joshua Palmer: Active Sunday
Palmer (knee/ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
In his first game action since Week 6, Palmer -- who practiced fully this past week -- should have an opportunity to make his mark versus Tampa Bay, with fellow WR Keon Coleman (healthy scratch, second on the Bills with 49 targets) and TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, third on the team with 36 targets) both inactive. Prior to being sidelined, Palmer put up a 14/234/0 receiving line on 20 targets in six outings.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Ready to play Sunday
Johnston (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Though Johnston carried a questionable tag into Sunday, he didn't appear to be at any major risk of missing the contest after he was able to turn in a full practice Friday. After he had been limited to between zero and six targets over four straight appearances from Weeks 5 through 9, Johnston saw his involvement in the passing attack pick back up in the Chargers' win over the Steelers this past Sunday, when he finished with five catches for 42 yards on 10 targets. However, due to the presence of fellow wideouts Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen as well as the emergence of rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden, Johnston's target counts could remain highly volatile from week to week.

Calvin Ridley WR | TEN
Titans' Calvin Ridley: Active versus Houston
Ridley (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Ridley, who had missed three consecutive games prior to the Titans' Week 10 bye, was able to log limited practices Wednesday through Friday, before approaching Sunday's contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Houston confirmed, barring any setbacks or in-game limitations, Ridley is poised to reclaim his key role in Tennessee's passing offense. Prior to being sidelined, Ridley logged a a 16-290-0 line on 35 targets through five games, plus the six snaps that he saw Oct. 12 before injuring his hamstring.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Inactive Sunday
Coleman is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Coleman is being made inactive Sunday because he missed a team meeting Friday. With Coleman -- who is second on the Bills with 49 targets through nine games -- a scratch Sunday, Joshua Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman are candidates to see added opportunities along with No. 1 wideout Khalil Shakir. Meanwhile, top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is also inactive, so Palmer will have a chance to claim a share of the targets that would normally go to Coleman and/or Kincaid in his first appearance since Week 6.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Sitting out second straight game
Thomas (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Though Thomas was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, he ultimately didn't display enough progress in his recovery from a low-grade high-ankle sprain to avoid a second straight missed game. With Thomas sidelined, Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington will likely serve as Jacksonville's top two wideouts, and Dyami Brown and Tim Patrick could also see their profiles in the passing game expand.
-
Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Back in action Sunday
Golden (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants.
Golden thus will miss just one game due to the shoulder injury that sidelined him during a Week 10 loss to the Eagles. It should be noted that the rookie first-round pick was listed as limited on all three Week 11 practice reports, and veteran WRs Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks all entered the weekend without designations. As a result, Golden may not be available for his typical workload, which so far has ranged from 48 to 73 percent of the offensive snaps while averaging 3.7 targets per game in his seven healthy appearances this season.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Active in Week 11
London (illness/back) is listed as active Sunday against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London sat out Wednesday's practice due to an illness, and while he took part on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, a back issue was tacked on to the injury report after the first of those two sessions. A questionable designation ensued for the fourth-year pro, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that London was aiming to play Sunday, which now has been confirmed. After topping out at 55 yards receiving in a game through the first three contests of the campaign, London has been as reliable as any wide receiver in the NFL, accruing a 37-532-6 line on 58 targets over his last five appearances.
