Sims (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Sims was recently brought up from the practice squad due to Paul Richardson's hamstring injury last week, but he has yet to see a snap. In Sims' stead, Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims are expected to handle depth receiving duties Sunday.

Ward is expected to see offensive snaps Sunday in the Eagles' game against the Seahawks, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

With the Eagles down their top two wide receivers in Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee), Jordan Matthews, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Mack Hollins and Ward remain as the lone healthy options at the position. Ward, who was called up from the practice squad in light of the injuries, previously made his NFL debut in Week 3, playing two offensive snaps. Though Ward's snap count should increase a little in his return to the roster, Zangaro suggests the Eagles will likely make "a ton" of use of 12 personnel (two tight ends) rather than relying heavily on a lackluster wideout corps.

Agholor (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

The absences of Agholor and Alshon Jeffery (ankle) will leave the Eagles extremely shorthanded at wide receiver, as the underwhelming quartet of Jordan Matthews, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Mack Hollins and Greg Ward represent the remaining options at the position. While all four receivers should see their profiles in the offense expand Sunday to some extent, quarterback Carson Wentz could be inclined to funnel even more targets to tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert, who have held more consistent roles in the passing attack this season.

Morgan (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Morgan didn't participate in practice this week while dealing with the illness, but as evidenced by this news, he has shaken off the ailment. He likely won't impact the offense much in Sunday's game as he's caught just three passes for 18 yards this season.

Patrick (shoulder) is active Week 12 against Buffalo.

After logging back-to-back limited practice sessions to end the week, Patrick was considered a likely candidate to suit up and attempt to build on his Week 11 performance of 4-77-0. That outing was Patrick's first game back from the injured reserve, and he quickly emerged as the secondary target to Courtland Sutton, playing 59 snaps (72.8 percent) and getting targeted eight times -- just over a fifth of Brandon Allen's total pass attempts. Patrick does have a tougher matchup ahead against Buffalo, however, as the Bills are giving up the eighth-least fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in standard formats and have allowed the position to reach the end zone just four times all season.

Agholor (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Agholor's likely absence leaves Carson Wentz without one of his top targets in the passing game, though the quarterback should benefit from the return of Alshon Jeffery (ankle), who is listed as questionable but considered likely to play, per Schefter. Jordan Matthews, Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside should all see extra snaps if Agholor is in fact out, though none of the trio profiles as a high-percentage fantasy play.

Patrick (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, citing a source.

Patrick was limited in practice for much of the week, but it looks like he'll be ready to play after posting a 4-77-0 line on eight targets in his first game back from injured reserve in last week's loss to the Vikings. With Emmanuel Sanders off to San Francisco and No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton likely to be shadowed much of the afternoon by the Bills' top corner, Tre'Davious White, Patrick could be in for a high-volume game.

Woods (personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Coach Sean McVay didn't fully confirm Woods' availability for Week 12 earlier Saturday, per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, but the fact he isn't listed on the final injury report in any capacity indicates the wideout should play. The 27-year-old was a late scratch for last Sunday's win over the Bears due to a family issue, but he was never listed on this week's injury report. Brandin Cooks (concussion) is also set to return, bringing the Rams' receiving corps back to full strength.

Reynolds (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

The 24-year-old started the week not practicing due to the illness, but he was able to progress to full participation Saturday to avoid the questionable tag. Reynolds is coming off decent production in Week 11 with three catches for 55 yards, but he should return to a lesser role versus Baltimore with Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Robert Woods (personal) both also clear of injury designations.

Moore (thumb) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Moore was a full participant at Saturday's practice, so it seems likely the fourth-year receiver will be available Monday. Moore's modest production through eight games (three receptions) indicates he's not a critical option in fantasy.
