Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Officially shifts to IR
The Cardinals placed Harrison (foot) on injured reserve Friday.
Harrison's placement on IR is no surprise, given that he was ruled out for Week 18 on Wednesday by head coach Jonathan Gannon. The second-year pro is dealing with a foot injury suffered during Arizona's loss to the Bengals in Week 17, but there have not yet been any indications that the issue is anything that could impact his participation in the team's offseason program. Across a disappointing sophomore campaign in which injuries limited him to just 12 regular-season appearances, Harrison secured 41 of 73 targets for 608 yards and four touchdowns.

Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG
Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Could play Sunday
Hyatt (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
Hyatt upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to a limited practice Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up for Sunday's season finale. The 2023 third-round pick from Tennessee has had a disappointing 2025 campaign, appearing in eight games and catching catching five of 14 targets for 35 yards. If active Sunday, Hyatt is expected to play a depth role in the Giants' receiving corps.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: No injury designation
Reed (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
The illness is less of a concern than Green Bay's plan to hold out QB Jordan Love, who cleared concussion protocol earlier this week. Other starters may play, but they won't necessarily finish out the game with Green Bay already locked in as the NFC's No. 7 seed.

Dante Pettis WR | NO
Saints' Dante Pettis: Looks set to start Week 18
Pettis is positioned as one of the Saints' top remaining wide receivers for Sunday's season finale against the Falcons due to Chris Olave (illness) being ruled out for Week 18,
Pettis and Kevin Austin appear set to operate as the Saints' top WRs in Week 18 with Olave ruled out due to a blood clot in his lung and Mason Tipton (groin) having been placed on IR. Behind Pettis and Austin, wideouts Ronnie Bell and Samori Toure have been signed from the practice squad. An experienced veteran with eight seasons in the NFL under his belt, Pettis may be the most reliable target remaining in New Orleans' wide receiver corps, though Austin has demonstrated greater chemistry with rookie QB Tyler Shough, having strung together three straight games with multiple receptions. Pettis, meanwhile, brought in three of four targets for 53 yards versus the Titans in Week 17 and stands to see his opportunity share increase versus Atlanta.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Doubtful for season finale
Worthy (illness) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders.
Worthy could not practice in any capacity during Week 18 prep due to an illness, and it appears as though he'll sit out Kansas City's season finale. With Tyquan Thornton (concussion) and Rashee Rice (concussion) both on IR, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Royals will be positioned as Kansas City's starters in three-receiver stets to close out the 2025 campaign, assuming Worthy is indeed ruled out prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Samori Toure WR | NO
Saints' Samori Toure: Promoted Friday
Toure signed with the Saints' active roster Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The 27-year-old's last in-game action came with the Packers in 2023, when he appeared in 11 contests and caught eight of 18 targets for 78 yards. Now in New Orleans, Toure is expected to operate as one of the Saints' top wideouts in the Week 18 matchup against the Falcons, playing alongside Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and Ronnie Bell.

Kevin Austin Jr. WR | NO
Saints' Kevin Austin: Stepping into key role Week 18
Austin is positioned as one of New Orleans' top starting wideouts for Sunday's season finale against the Falcons due to Chris Olave (illness) being ruled out for Week 18.
Austin has already played more than 80 percent of offensive snaps in back-to-back games, in which span he's secured six of eight targets for 70 yards and one score. He saw those expanded opportunities due to the absence of Mason Tipton (groin), who has since been placed on IR. With Olave now also out for the regular-season finale due a blood clot in his lung, Austin appears positioned as the No. 1 wideout for a receiving corps that also includes Dante Pettis and practice-squad players Ronnie Bell and Samori Toure. Austin will work to make the most of his elevated opportunity versus Atlanta and continue demonstrating chemistry with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough.
-
Ronnie Bell WR | NO
Saints' Ronnie Bell: Joins active roster
Bell signed with the Saints' active roster Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The third-year pro from Michigan will join the Saints' active roster for the second consecutive week after failing to record an offensive statistic across nine total snaps (seven on special teams, two on offense) in the Week 17 win over the Titans. Bell is expected to operate as one of New Orleans' top wideouts in Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, as Chris Olave (blood clots), Mason Tipton (groin), Trey Palmer (ankle), Devaughn Vele (shoulder), Bub Means (lower leg) and Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) will all be sidelined.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | NYG
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Ruled out
Robinson (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson is scheduled for free agency in March after posting the first 1,000-yard season of his career. There's no indication his injury is serious, and the Giants likely will make a run at re-signing Robinson before he can hit the open market this spring. For Week 18, New York's top receiving options will be WRs Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins and TE Daniel Bellinger.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Questionable after practicing
Odunze (foot) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
The practice was Odunze's first since Dec. 12, which seemingly makes him a long shot to actually play this weekend. The Bears and Lions are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.
