Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Hopkins is slated to get a second opinion on his leg injury Wednesday after previously getting an MRI, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

With that in mind, Hopkins' status for Sunday's game against the Lions has yet to determined. If Hopkins is out or limited this weekend or beyond, added looks would be available for fellow wideouts A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Hopkins, who is thought to be dealing with a knee issue, won't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Moore had three catches on four targets for five yards and two carries for 11 yards during Monday's 30-23 defeat to the Rams.

In a game during which the Cardinals ran 75 offensive plays, including 49 passes by Kyler Murray, Moore made a negligible impact, recording his fourth-fewest yards from scrimmage (16) in a game this season. Since the Cardinals' Week 12 bye, Moore has put up the least productive two-game stretch (26 total yards) of his rookie campaign. The 2021 second-round pick will aim to get back on track this Sunday against a Lions defense that ranks 29th in total defense (379.2 yards per game).

The Vikings have placed Jackson on their practice squad reserve/COVID-19 list.

Jackson will now need to clear the league's COVID protocols before he can return to practice. From there, he will continue to look to make an impression and await an opportunity to join the team's 53-man roster.

Powell shifted back to the Rams' practice squad, per the NFL's transaction log.

Powell was elevated to the team's 53-man roster for their victory over the Cardinals on Monday. He ended up playing 10 snaps on special teams, and returned one kick for 27 yards and recorded one fair catch.

Williams (heel) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated report.

After not holding practice Monday, the Chargers ran a walkthrough one day later, so Williams' ability to join his teammates on the field is a positive sign he'll be able to play through a heel injury. In the end, though, his listing -- or lack thereof -- on Wednesday's report will be telling for his ability to suit up Thursday versus the Chiefs. If Williams ultimately is active, he'll be joined by Keenan Allen, who will return from a one-game absence following a bout on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Fitzpatrick was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The 23-year-old will now enter the league's COVID-19 protocols COVID-19, putting his ability to play in Week 15 against the Steelers in jeopardy. Fitzpatrick was a healthy scratch in Week 14 versus the Jaguars, so if he's unable to go Sunday, it likely won't affect the wide receiver rotation much at all.

The Chargers activated Allen (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

At the time Allen tested positive for COVID-19 last Monday, it was known that he was vaccinated, giving him a chance to clear league protocols and play this past Sunday against the Giants. He wasn't able to do so, but he now is free and clear ahead of Thursday's contest against the Chiefs. The Chargers listed Mike Williams (heel) as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, so Allen could take on even greater target share Week 15 if his fellow wideout is limited or sidelined.

Robinson was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Robinson has gone without a target in two of the last three games and has just three games all season with more than two receptions. Until further notice, he can be discounted in the vast majority of season-long fantasy leagues.

Hardman snared both of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's game against the Raiders. He also rushed once for no gain.

Hardman did at least see a slight increase in his usage on offense (37 percent of snaps) compared to the last two games (17 percent each), and the third-year wideout made the most of his pair of looks, making grabs of 44 and 15 yards. If Hardman continues to produce on offense and eventually improves as a blocker, he could become a viable fantasy option again at some point. However, that point isn't the present, and he can be left on waiver wires in most leagues.

Pringle reeled in just one pass for 28 yards on his lone target Sunday versus the Raiders.

Pringle has just one grab in each of the team's last three games despite seeing a recent uptick in offensive snaps. Even if his trend of playing time continues, Pringle doesn't seem to garner enough looks in the passing attack to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues at this point.
