Goodwin (personal) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Panthers.

Excused late in the week to tend to a personal matter, Goodwin will remain away from the team for the time being. In his stead, newcomer Emmanuel Sanders is the team's most experienced pass catcher by a long shot and will look to put his stamp on the 49ers offense for the first time.

Cooks won't return to Sunday's game against the Bengals in London due to a concussion, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

On the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit in the first quarter, Cooks went to the locker with the Rams' medical staff and was ruled out shortly thereafter, finishing Week 8 without a catch. Josh Reynolds will take on an elevated role in the offense as long as Cooks is sidelined.

Cooks is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a head injury, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Cooks left the field early in the first quarter after suffering a helmet-to-helmet hit. The speedy wideout previously dealt with a concussion earlier in the season, but he managed to clear the league's five-step protocol without missing any time.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Since hauling in five of 10 targets in the season-opening tie with Detroit in his NFL debut, Johnson has seen his role in the Cardinals' passing attack diminish. He's notched only 12 receptions over the past six games and played a season-low five snaps in the Week 7 win over the Giants while the coaching staff handed more opportunities to Pharoh Cooper and Andy Isabella. With Johnson inactive, Damiere Byrd and Trent Sherfield will represent the Cardinals' main downfield threats in Week 8.

Foster is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Foster is back in the mix after being inactive last week, but how much action he sees Sunday likely hinges on how well No. 3 wide receiver Duke Williams holds up, given that the latter has been dealing with a shoulder injury.

Berrios (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Berrios was only able to log limited practice time during the week, and was considered questionable to play Sunday. This news confirms his availablity, and Berrios is expected to slot in as the team's punt return man, His return won't effect the offense much, considering he has just three catches this season.

McKenzie is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

While McKenzie will sit this one out, felllow wideout Robert Foster will draw back into Buffalo's lineup Sunday after being a healthy inactive last week.

Cain (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

Despite boasting full health, Cain won't factor into Indianapolis' plans on offense Week 8. Over the last five games, the second-year pro has turned 10 targets into just two receptions for 17 yards. His absence could allow Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers and Parris Campbell to see increased offensive snaps.

Kirk (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at New Orleans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Entering the weekend with yet another "questionable" tag due to a lingering right ankle injury, Kirk will play for the first time since Week 4, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning. Kirk's workload is the biggest question mark hanging over his head. With no full practices under his belt, his snap count may be capped to ensure he suffers no in-game setbacks. Having said that, Kirk has a decent chance to make a dent versus a Saints defense that has surrendered 8.5 YPT to wide receivers this season.

Campbell (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Campbell received the green light to return from a three-week absence after he was able to practice on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday. Due to the time Campbell missed, it wouldn't be surprising if the Colts eased the wideout back into the mix Sunday with a more modest snap count. Campbell peaked at a 63-percent snap share the last time he suited up Week 4 versus Oakland, catching five of eight targets for 25 yards in that contest.
