Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks has missed the last two weeks of practice due to the calf injury that he sustained during a Week 7 win at Arizona. He'll now sit out a second contest in a row as a result, making his next chance for game action Monday, Nov. 10 versus the Eagles. The Packers' Week 9 receiving corps will be composed of Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Malik Heath and Savion Williams.

McConkey (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans after being listed as a full participant on Friday's practice estimate.

McConkey was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but his full listing in Friday's walkthrough sets the stage for the wideout to be available this weekend. In the Chargers' 37-10 win over the Vikings in Week 8, McConkey caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 88 yards and a TD, which upped his receiving line through eight games to 43-468-3 on 68 targets, a pace that keeps the 2024 second-rounder firmly on the weekly fantasy lineup radar.

Washington (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

The 24-year-old downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Washington has played a depth role in the Falcons' wide-receiver corps this season, catching six of 14 targets for 94 yards over five appearances. Jamal Agnew could play a larger offensive role with Washington out in Week 9.

Burden (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

Burden suffered a concussion during this past Sunday's loss at Baltimore and wasn't able to practice in any capacity during Week 9 prep. With no progress to speak of yet through the protocol for head injuries, he could be in danger of missing multiple contests. Meanwhile, the rest of the Bears' banged-up wide receivers don't have designations going into the weekend, meaning Rome Odunze (heel), DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) all are poised for their typical roles in the passing game.

Zaccheaus (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

With Luther Burden (concussion) out, Zaccheaus should see the bulk of the WR3 snaps behind Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. The matchup is good, but Zaccheaus hasn't seen enough target volume to warrant fantasy lineup consideration outside of daily fantasy contests.

Moore (hip/groin) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Chicago's top four WRs were all listed on the injury report this week, but only No. 4 receiver Luther Burden (out - concussion) hasn't been cleared to play. Moore thus figures to handle his usual role, though perhaps with a bit more upside for carries and screens in the absence of RB D'Andre Swift (out - groin).

Odunze (heel) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The same goes for WR DJ Moore (hip/groin), WR Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) and TE Cole Kmet (back), while No. 4 receiver Luther Burden (concussion) and starting running back D'Andre Swift (groin) have been ruled out. Odunze doesn't really have room for growth in terms of snap/route shares, but he could be even more of a priority than usual in terms of targets/touches with Swift and Burden out of action.

London (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

London upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He'll return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury to face a hot New England defense led by CB Christian Gonzalez.

Shaheed (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Shaheed didn't rejoin last week's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay after exiting in the fourth quarter, but that doesn't mean much given that the Saints were down by 20. He managed limited practice participation Wednesday through Friday this week, with coach Kellen Moore telling reporters Friday that Shaheed, RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) and CB Alontae Taylor (shoulder) are all trending in the right direction. It is possible trade rumors could impact Shaheed's availability or usage, but there was no hint of anything like that from Moore during his media availability Friday.

Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Friday that Nacua will return for Sunday's game against the Saints, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Nacua was injured Week 6 and will end up missing just one game with the help of a Week 8 bye. The Rams listed him as a limited practice participant Wednesday, before an upgrade to full participation Thursday answered lingering doubts about Nacua's Week 9 availability.
