Wilson was spotted on crutches following Thursday's loss to the Bears, noting that while an X-Ray he received did not show structural damage to his injured left knee, he will undergo an MRI Friday, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Wilson appeared to tweak his left knee during the waning moments of the fourth quarter while attempting to haul in a long pass. It sounds as if the receiver's injury may be serious, in which case Devin Smith would figure to see more snaps. Wilson only has five catches for 46 yards on the year, however, so his absence shouldn't create much of a gap in the Cowboys' passing attack.

Robinson secured five of eight targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

Robinson extended his touchdown streak to three games with scoring grabs of five and eight yards in the second quarter. The veteran had totaled at least 86 yards in three of his four games prior to Thursday, so his yardage tally against the Cowboys represented a downturn. Nevertheless, Robinson appears to have a locked-in target share, making him a valued fantasy asset alongside an improving Mitchell Trubisky in a Week 15 showdown against the Packers a week from Sunday.

Gallup secured six of 10 targets for 109 yards in the Cowboys' 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

Gallup either co-led or paced the team in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, and he crossed the 100-yard mark for the fourth time overall on the season. The second-year wideout has also seen double-digit targets in three of his last five games, although he hasn't scored in four consecutive contests. However, with the Cowboys likely to continue focusing heavily on the air attack while trying to nail down an underwhelming NFC East over the final three games, Gallup should have plenty of opportunities to snap that dubious streak. He'll look to accomplish just that against the Rams in Week 15, a week from Sunday.

Cooper secured six of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

Cooper co-led the Cowboys in receptions while checking in second to Michael Gallup in receiving yardage and targets. The 25-year-old was on the receiving end of Dak Prescott's only passing touchdown of the night as well, securing a 19-yard scoring toss with 4:29 remaining that brought Dallas to within 31-21. The trip to the end zone snapped a three-game touchdown-less streak for Cooper, his longest such stretch of the campaign. He'll look to get back over the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 10 when he sees the Rams' stingy secondary in a Week 15 matchup, a week from Sunday.

Wims is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Cowboys with a knee injury.

Wims was injured during an attempted catch late in the second quarter. The injury appeared to be non-contact, meaning there is a chance it could be serious. Riley Ridley figures to log more routes as long as Wims is out.

Coach Mike Zimmer said that Thielen (hamstring) still has a "good opportunity" to play Sunday against the Lions, despite being a non-participant in the Vikings' first two practices of Week 14. "He's working really hard. He obviously wants to get out there with his guys," Zimmer told Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "When he's ready, he's ready."

Zimmer went on to note that Thielen hasn't experienced a recent setback with his strained right hamstring, but the wideout's inability to log any practice activity since his seven-snap cameo in the Week 9 loss to the Chiefs suggests that he's plateaued in his recovery, at the very least. Despite Zimmer's positive outlook about the situation, it would be a surprise if Thielen ultimately suited up Sunday after being idle for much of the past four weeks.

Williams (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

So far there's been nothing to suggest that Williams is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but it's worth noting that the wideout is the only Chargers player listed as having his Thursday practice participation listed as less than full due to an injury.

Johnson (illness) practiced fully Thursday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

With JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) looking likely to miss Sunday's game against the Cardinals, James Washington and Johnson -- who was limited at practice Wednesday -- appear on track to head the Steelers' Week 14 wideout corps.

Smith-Schuster (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Smith-Schuster is trending toward being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals come Friday, and in that scenario James Washington, Diontae Johnson and Tevin Jones would head the Steelers' Week 14 wideout corps.

Beckham (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Just like the previous two weeks, Beckham had his reps capped Wednesday and Thursday on account of the lingering groin issue, but there isn't any real concern about the wideout's availability for game day. While there probably won't be much drama with regard to Beckham status for Sunday's game against the Bengals, he started a small media firestorm Thursday, when he was non-committal when asked if he wanted to return to the Browns in 2020, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Beckham is on the Browns' books through 2023, but since he's already earned most of the $65 million guaranteed in the contract extension he signed last season, Cleveland could move on from him without any major consequences to its salary-cap situation. The 27-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations in his first season with Cleveland, posting 57 catches for 805 yards and two touchdowns through the team's first 12 games.
