McKenzie has been cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

McKenzie left the game for a spell to be evaluated for a head injury, but he's been cleared and will now look to make his mark in the Buffalo offense in the second half of Sunday's contest.

McKenzie, who was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Patriots, is being evaluated for a head injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, McKenzie did not have a catch in the game. Robert Foster and Zay Jones are currently the Bills' top healthy wideouts.

Godwin will return to splitting No. 3 receiver duties with Adam Humphries in Week 16 against the Cowboys with DeSean Jackson (thumb) active for the contest.

Godwin uncharacteristically came up short, and woefully so at that, as the No. 2 wideout over the last two games, bringing in just one of 13 targets for 13 yards during that pair of contests. A return toward his more familiar role might potentially serve to boost his production, although it's worth noting the Cowboys defense comes into Sunday's contest allowing the eighth-fewest passing yards (224.0) per game.

Treadwell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Treadwell has been given every opportunity to establish a foothold behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs in the Vikings' receiving corps. Since the team's Week 10 bye, though, Treadwell managed just seven catches (on 12 targets) for 42 yards and no touchdowns across five games, spurring coach Mike Zimmer to roll with Aldrick Robinson and Chad Beebe (who is returning from a four-game absence) behind the top duo.

Agnew (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Agnew spent time on injured reserve this season but will return form his nine-game absence. With Teez Tabor (coach's decision) inactive for the contest, Agnew could be leaned on immediately in the secondary. Agnew could also return to both kick and punt return duties.

Cobb (concussion) is listed as inactive Sunday at the Jets.

The Packers' hand was forced after Cobb managed no practice reps this week in his journey through the concussion protocol. Considering his standing, he's not close to meeting with an independent neurologist, which would mark the last step to gaining clearance to play. First, he'll attempt to return to practice during Week 17 preparations. In Cobb's absence, Equanimeous St. Brown is slated to work as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Davante Adams, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jake Kumerow (hand) splitting most of the remaining reps.

Hopkins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

A true game-time decision heading into the day, Hopkins gained clearance to play after completing a pregame workout without any apparent issues. With the Texans still jockeying for playoff positioning, Hopkins should be in store for a normal snap count while filling his usual high-volume role in the Houston aerial attack.

Hopkins (ankle) is in line to play Sunday against the Eagles, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Per the report, the wideout -- who had been on the field testing out his ankle -- indicated to Palmer that he'll be good to go Sunday, an anticipated outcome that will be confirmed either way once the Texans' inactives are released in advance of team's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Hopkins (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, expects to play, but will go through a pregame workout before the Texans decide on his fate, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Hopkins has been regularly limited in practices this season primarily for maintenance purposes, but his restrictions in the Texans' Week 16 sessions looked to have been legitimately injury related after he tweaked his ankle in last weekend's win over the Jets. According to Rapoport, Hopkins is adamant about suiting up with playoff slotting on the line for Houston, but team trainers need to be convinced the wideout is reasonably healthy before giving him the green light. Final word on Hopkins' status should come when the Texans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff.

Crabtree caught one pass (four targets) for 20 yards in Saturday's 22-10 win over the Chargers.

The only positive that can be said about Crabtree's performance is that at least he didn't go catchless like the week prior. The veteran, along with the rest of Baltimore's starting receiver corps, has seen his fantasy value almost vanish since Lamar Jackson took over as starter. The most you can hope for from Crabtree these days is that he can break free for a big score or see heavy usage around the goal line, neither of which has happened since Week 12 (21 yards and a touchdown). His fortunes are unlikely to change in Week 17's matchup with the Browns.
