  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Gets green light for Sunday

    Agholor (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

    The Eagles listed Agholor as a limited participant on their first two practice reports of Week 13, but he'll enter Sunday's game against the Dolphins minus an injury designation after he handled all of the reps during Friday's session. While both Agholor and Alshon Jeffery (ankle) were sidelined for the Week 12 loss to the Seahawks, Jordan Matthews (three catches for 27 yards on six targets), J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (two catches for 43 yards on five targets) and Greg Ward (six catches for 40 yards on seven targets) all saw notable snap counts. Matthews has since been released, while Arcega-Whiteside and Ward should see their workloads scaled back considerably now that the team's top two wideouts are ostensibly healthy again.

  • Browns' KhaDarel Hodge: Listed as questionable

    Hodge (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Hodge logged three full practices this week, but he's drawn an injury tag due to the tricky nature of Achilles injuries. The second-year pro plays a depth role in Cleveland's wideout corps behind Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. If he were forced to miss any time, it would mean increased depth opportunities for Damion Ratley and Taywan Taylor.

  • Browns' Odell Beckham: No designation for Week 13

    Beckham (groin) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers after turning in a limited showing in practice Friday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Beckham wasn't able to advance to full participation in practice at any point Wednesday through Friday, but the fact that he enters the weekend minus an injury designation implies the Browns are reasonably comfortable with his health. The star wideout finally broke through for his first touchdown reception in eight games in last week's win over the Dolphins, but he may have a tougher time keeping the momentum going against Pittsburgh's eighth-ranked pass defense (217.2 yards allowed per game).

  • Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Won't play Sunday

    The Steelers have ruled Smith-Schuster (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Though Smith-Schuster cleared the NFL's concussion protocol earlier this week, the left knee injury he picked up in the Steelers' first matchup with the Browns in Week 11 is still bothering him. After he failed to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday, Smith-Schuster will be forced out for a second straight game. His absence leaves James Washington and Diontae Johnson as new starting quarterback Devlin Hodges' top two options at receiver for Week 13.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Avoids structural damage

    Cooper didn't suffer any structural damage to his left knee in Thursday's 26-15 loss to the Bills, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Cooper injured his knee during the fourth quarter of the Thanksgiving Day game but was able to return to the contest. An MRI and an X-ray conducted afterwards didn't reveal any structural damage, so he should have good odds to play Week 14 in Chicago, though another Thursday game (Dec. 5) means he won't have any extra time to rest. The Cowboys will release their initial Week 14 practice report Monday.

  • Chris Lacy WR | LV

    Lions' Chris Lacy: Mostly used on special teams

    Lacy logged three offensive snaps but was not targeted during Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.

    Lacy was signed to the active roster in the wake of Marvin Hall's (foot) placement on injured reserve, but the majority of Lacy's playing time came on special teams. While his role as a kickoff returned could lead to additional touches, Lacy is unlikely to make many plays on offense as long as Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola stay healthy.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    Jaguars' Chris Conley: Enters weekend minus designation

    Conley (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    A limited participant during the Jaguars' first two practices of Week 13, Conley looks like he'll be good to go this weekend after taking every rep Friday. The wideout has seen fairly consistent involvement in the Jacksonville passing attack lately, finishing with between seven and nine targets in each of the past five contests.

  • Scott Miller WR | CHI

    Buccaneers' Scott Miller: Won't play against Jags

    Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Miller had been cutting into Breshad Perriman's workload of late, drawing 10 targets over the past three weeks. It isn't clear if Miller's absence will free up more work for Perriman or create an opportunity for Justin Watson to take more snaps. Either way, Miller's absence isn't a huge loss for quarterback Jameis Winston.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Returns to practice

    Thielen (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    After Thielen practiced Tuesday and then sitting out Wednesday, the Vikings listed him as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, as the team didn't actually hold a practice on Thanksgiving Day. Since the play Monday night in Seattle in Week 13, the Vikings won't release their final injury report until Saturday. Prior to that, the Friday report will reveal if Thielen was a full participant or limited.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    49ers' Dante Pettis: Avoids serious injury

    Pettis is believed to have sprained his left knee during the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The injury forced Pettis' early departure in Wednesday's practice and kept him sidelined Thursday, but after he recently underwent an evaluation, the 49ers determined the wideout wasn't dealing with a long-term concern. In any case, Pettis' status for Sunday's game against the Ravens has yet to be determined, but he shouldn't be expected to have a major role on offense even if he gains clearance for the contest. Pettis has logged just seven offensive snaps across the past two games.
