Montgomery (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Montgomery played through the back issue last week against the Panthers and will do so again in the final game of the regular season. The 28-year-old has only one offensive touch over the past three games and is unlikely to have a significant role Sunday, especially if Mark Ingram (knee), who's listed as questionable, is able to play.

Conley (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

For a third straight week, Conley has tended to a knee injury. Only this time, it didn't allow him to practice at all Wednesday through Friday. The Texans my be preparing to be without Conley in the season finale, which won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Aside from Conley, Chris Moore (illness) also is questionable after putting in a limited session Friday, leaving Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins and Danny Amendola as the the healthiest wide receivers on Houston's active roster.

Berrios (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

The 26-year-old was labeled doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Bills earlier in the day, and the Jets opted to open a roster spot by moving him to injured reserve. It was a strong year for Berrios, as he caught 46 passes for 431 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing seven times for 40 yards and two additional scores. He was also an effective return man and averaged 30.4 yards on kickoffs and 13.4 yards on punts, plus one return touchdown. Berrios is scheduled to become a free agent at the start of the new league year in March.

Moore (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Moore was a non-participant in Thursday's practice session and was limited Friday. He was unavailable for last week's loss to the 49ers since he was on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Week 18.

Smith (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Smith missed last week's win over the Panthers but apparently isn't in danger of back-to-back absences. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday and now figures to take back his role as a starting wideout across from Marquez Callaway, with both catching passes from dual-threat QB Taysom Hill.

Cobb (groin) will not play Sunday against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers designated Cobb to return from injured reserve in late December, but he did not play in the team's Week 17 win over the Vikings and will not play this week, either, as head coach Matt LaFleur believes two more weeks of rest are in Cobb's best interest. Barring any setbacks, expect Cobb to be back on the field for the Packers' divisional-round game Jan. 22 or Jan. 23.

Berrios (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Robert Saleh said Friday morning it wasn't "looking good" for Berrios to play Week 18, and the 26-year-old is now officially doubtful. Jamison Crowder is poised to take over in the slot after missing the past two games. Assuming he's inactive Sunday, Berrios will finish 2021 with 46 receptions for 431 yards and two touchdowns plus seven carries for 40 yards and two additional scores. He also scored one return touchdown and averaged 30.4 yards on kick returns and 13.4 yards on punt returns.

Duvernay (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Duvernay logged a full practice Friday, so he will likely be available for the regular season finale. The second-year wideout has operated as Baltimore's primary punt returner this season, but he also has recorded multiple receptions in four straight games. If he's unable to suit up, James Proche would likely handle the majority of Duvernay's duties on special teams and on offense.

Crowder (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Robert Saleh said Friday morning Crowder's outlook was "looking good" for Sunday, and the lack of an injury designation reinforces that sentiment. The 28-year-old should operate as the Jets' top option in the passing game out of the slot this weekend with Braxton Berrios (quadriceps) out and Elijah Moore (quadriceps/illness) unlikely to return from the reserve list.

Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Johnson returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday after being a non-participant to start the week. He may be in line for an increased workload if he's able to suit up for the first time since Week 15, as the Giants will be shorthanded at wide receiver with Kadarius Toney (shoulder) and John Ross (knee) both out.
