Watkins was active for four games in 2025 and finished the regular season with two receptions on three targets for 26 yards.

Watkins suffered a high-ankle sprain in the preseason but was still able to make the 53-man roster as a rookie. The fourth-round pick was a healthy scratch for all but four games even with the 49ers dealing with depth issues at the wide-receiver position. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has a track record of not relying on rookie wideouts, so there is a chance we see Watkins' role increase as a sophomore in 2025.

Moore finished the 2025 regular season with five receptions for 87 yards, two carries for 11 yards and 1,198 combined return yards in 17 appearances.

Moore was traded to the 49ers this past offseason after falling out of favor as a receiver during his three years with the Chiefs. The shifty wideout was used sparingly on offense (seven touches for 98 yards), but he solidified a role on special teams as San Francisco's primary return man. Moore appeared in all 17 games this regular season and finished with career highs in kickoff-return yards (907) and punt-return yards (291). The 24-year-old is a strong candidate to return to the 49ers next season after thriving as the team's return specialist in 2025.

Boutte (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

Boutte wasn't listed on the Patriots' initial injury report Wednesday, so it's unclear if the wideout emerged from that session with a hamstring issue or sustained an injury during Thursday's practice. Friday's final report will reveal whether Boutte approaches Sunday's playoff opener against the Chargers with an injury designation, in any case.

Collins, who was inactive for this past Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts, isn't listed on the Texans' injury report ahead of Monday night's playoff opener against the Steelers.

Collins and veteran RB Nick Chubb were rested in the Texans' Week 18 win, with an eye toward keeping the duo fresh for the team's upcoming postseason run. With Collins currently not managing any injury concerns, he's set to reclaim his role as Houston's top wideout Monday on the heels of recording a 71-1,117-6 line (on 120 targets) in 15 regular-season contests.

Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Panthers in the wild-card round.

Whittington was sidelined for all three of the Rams' practices this week, leading to him being ruled out Thursday. With Davante Adams back from his hamstring injury, there likely won't be many targets to go around behind Puka Nacua and Adams, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell left to compete for those looks among wide receivers. Blake Corum is a candidate to return kickoffs in Whittington's absence.

Adams (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game at Carolina, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Adams thus has been cleared for his first game action since Week 15, when he aggravated a hamstring injury. Prior to missing the final three contests of the regular season, the wideout was a TD machine, racking up 14 such catches, which ended up leading the entire NFL. While fellow WR Puka Nacua still dominates the attention of QB Matthew Stafford, Adams' red-zone prowess will be key as the Rams open the postseason.

Pearsall (knee/ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Though Pearsall was present for the session, he was relegated to working out on a rehab field to the side of practice while he continues to manage a lingering PCL injury to his right knee in addition to an ankle issue. The 49ers haven't indicated that Pearsall's aggravation of the knee injury is as significant as the initial PCL sprain that kept him sidelined for six straight games earlier this season, but with no practice activity so far this week, the wideout would appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's wild-card game in Philadelphia.

The Packers list Wicks (concussion) as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed prior to Thursday's practice that Wicks was still in concussion protocol, which was backed up by the wideout remaining a limited participant in the team's final practice of the week. Wicks still has a chance to play Saturday, but he'll need to be cleared for full contact in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist before he's removed from the protocol. With Bo Melton (knee) and Savion Williams (foot) recently going on injured reserve and with Wicks potentially missing the postseason opener, the Packers could be left with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Jakobie Keeney-James as their available options at receiver against Chicago.

Renfrow caught 15 of 26 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns across six regular-season games for the Panthers in 2025.

The 30-year-old wideout joined the Panthers on a one-year deal in late August after taking a break from football in 2024. Renfrow appeared poised to play a significant role early in the season, catching nine of 15 targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns over Carolina's first two games. However, he became a healthy scratch for each game following the Week 6 win over the Cowboys, as Jalen Coker returned from injury and rookie Jimmy Horn emerged as a key depth option. Renfrow was dropped by the Panthers in early January and will not be a part of the team's playoff campaign. If he finds work elsewhere for the 2026 NFL season, he'll likely remain in a reserve role.

Moore (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers.

Moore followed up Tuesday's limited walkthrough and Wednesday's capped practice with a full session Thursday, thereby clearing him to play through a knee issue. Fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) appears poised for his first game action since Week 13 after avoiding a designation on Thursday's injury report. As such, the Bears will have all options in the receiving corps available in Round 1 of the playoffs.
