Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Clear for wild-card round
Odunze (foot) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Packers.
Odunze previously was deemed active for a Week 15 matchup with the Browns, but a late setback with his lingering foot injury spurred the Bears to rule him out not long before kickoff. To cap the regular season, he ended up missing five consecutive contests due to what has been termed a stress fracture in his foot. With a full practice under his belt Thursday, Odunze is in the clear to suit up Saturday, but how many snaps he'll be able to handle remains to be seen.

Brandin Cooks WR | BUF
Bills' Brandin Cooks: Healthy heading into playoffs
Cooks wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, confirming that he's healthy heading into Sunday's wild-card round game at Jacksonville.
Cooks was inactive for the regular-season finale against the Jets, but that was a coach's decision and the veteran wide receiver is healthy heading into the playoffs. It remains to be seen which options the Bills dress at the position against the Jaguars, as Cooks, Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers, Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman have all contributed to various degrees but struggled to find consistency behind the team's No. 1 wideout Khalil Shakir. Cooks had 101 receiving yards in Week 17 against the Eagles but only 13 receiving yards across four other regular-season appearances with Buffalo.

Josh Palmer WR | BUF
Bills' Joshua Palmer: Not seen at practice Thursday
Palmer (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
With Palmer having been deemed a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walkthrough, the wideout now has one more opportunity to practice before the Bills assign injury designations for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars. Palmer recorded an 84 percent snap share in the team's Week 18 win over the Jets, but at this stage it's unclear if the wideout is dealing with a setback related to the ankle injury that he previously dealt with in Weeks 13-15, or if his current issue is something new.

Casey Washington WR | ATL
Falcons' Casey Washington: Minimal output in reserve role
Washington caught six of 14 targets for 94 yards across seven regular-season games in 2025.
After being limited primarily to special-teams work during his 2024 rookie campaign (47 special-teams snaps and nine on offense), Washington logged a career-high 180 offensive snaps in 2025. Across his first two NFL seasons, the Illinois product has caught seven of 16 targets for 108 yards while operating as a depth piece in the Falcons' wide receiver room. Washington remains under contract through the 2027 season and is expected to retain a similar role for Atlanta next year.

Dylan Drummond WR | ATL
Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Plays depth role in Atlanta
Drummond caught seven of 11 targets for 42 yards across nine regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he accumulated 110 kickoff-return yards.
Prior to his 2025 campaign with the Falcons, Drummond had appeared in just one NFL game with the Lions in 2023. He logged a career-high 121 offensive snaps and played a depth role in Atlanta's receiving corps, averaging 6.0 yards per reception. The Eastern Michigan product also showed value as a return man late in the season, recording 85 kickoff-return yards across the Falcons' last two regular-season contests. Drummond is under contract through the 2026 season, so he'll likely maintain a similar role next year.

David Sills WR | TB
Falcons' David Sills: Career year in 2025
Sills caught 18 of 36 targets for 191 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
The 29-year-old wideout came on late in the season, accumulating 126 receiving yards across the Falcons' last four regular-season contests. He finished the year as Atlanta's fifth-leading receiver, trailing Drake London (919 yards) and Darnell Mooney (443 yards) in the WR corps. Sills is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but a return to Atlanta remains possible since the team's receiver depth is thin outside of London and Mooney.

Bryce Oliver WR | TEN
Titans' Bryce Oliver: Sidelined for most of 2025
Oliver recorded one reception on his only target for eight yards across three games in the 2025 season.
Oliver suffered a knee injury in Week 2, which kept him sidelined until the season finale. His only reception of the campaign came in Week 1, and he played primarily on special teams when healthy.
-
Mason Kinsey WR | TEN
Titans' Mason Kinsey: Active for 10 games
Kinsey recorded two receptions on four targets for 48 yards across 10 games in the 2025 season.
Kinsey didn't appear in a game until Week 7, as he spent the early portions of the season on Tennessee's practice squad. He played primarily on special teams for the rest of the campaign, logging one reception in Weeks 11 and 17, respectively. Kinsey's 48 yards were the highest mark for a season in his five-year career.
-
James Proche WR | TEN
Titans' James Proche: Modest role in Tennessee
Proche recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 65 yards across nine games with the Titans during the 2025 season.
Proche spent all season with Tennessee, starting with the practice squad before being permanently signed to the active roster in Week 12. He made an immediate impact in that contest, logging three receptions for 42 yards. Proche didn't log more than one catch in any remaining contests of the season, though it was still one of the more productive campaigns of his six-year career.

Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Still sidelined Wednesday
Whittington (knee) remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Whittington was injured in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. If he's unable to play Saturday against the Panthers, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell would be next up for wideout reps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
