David Moore WR | CAR
Panthers' David Moore: Out for Week 18
Moore (elbow) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The 30-year-old wideout has practiced in full for three consecutive weeks, but it appears he's still not ready for in-game action just yet. Moore will remain on the Panthers' injured reserve list but could return for their wild-card matchup, should they secure the NFC South title in Week 18. While the veteran wideout is sidelined Saturday, expect Brycen Tremayne to operate as one of Carolina's top reserve pass catchers.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Questionable, but optimistic
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that London (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Saints but that the team is optimistic he will play, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Morris said the same of tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) and No. 2 receiver Darnell Mooney (knee). London has managed to play through his lingering knee injury (a PCL sprain) in each of Atlanta's last two games, though his production has been muted, with just four catches for 31 yards across 10 targets in that span. If he's cleared to suit up for Sunday's divisional clash, London will have a chance to close out the 2025 campaign on a positive note. His status will be made official no later than 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Not seen at start of practice
Worthy (illness) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Worthy didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so the wideout's apparent absence Friday clouds his status for Sunday's season finale against the Raiders. If Worthy is sidelined this weekend, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Royals would lead the Chiefs' Week 18 WR corps, with Jason Brownlee and Jimmy Holiday candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Trending in right direction
Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday that St. Brown (knee/ankle) is "trending the right way" to play Sunday at Chicago, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
On the other hand, Campbell said star right tackle Penei Sewell (ankle) isn't likely to play in the season finale. St. Brown returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, giving him a chance to play in all 17 of Detroit's regular-season games for the third time in his five-year career.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Not spotted Friday
Bateman (illness) is not participating in the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Bateman appears on track to miss all three of Baltimore's practice sessions ahead of Sunday's night's regular-season finale against the Steelers, which will determine the victor of the AFC North title. Given the significance of the divisional matchup, the Ravens may list Bateman as questionable even if he's indeed unable to practice in any capacity Friday in order to give him every opportunity to contribute on offense. DeAndre Hopkins and Devontez Walker will benefit from increased playing time if Bateman can't go.

Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Questionable for Week 18
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Waddle (ribs) will be limited in practice Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Waddle missed practice Wednesday and since has logged back-to-back limited sessions, though it sounds like his status for Sunday's divisional matchup and season finale could come down to the wire. It appears Miami will consider holding out a number of key playmakers, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, as Darren Waller (groin) will be placed on IR and De'Von Achane (shoulder) will sit out practice again Friday, though the standout running back hasn't yet been ruled out for Week 18. Waddle's status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Questionable for Saturday
Pearsall (knee/ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Seahawks.
Pearsall maintained a limited listing Tuesday through Thursday due to an ankle sprain and an aggravation of his previous PCL injury. Despite the health concerns, he was able to handle an 81 percent snap share and haul in five of eight targets for 85 yards and no touchdowns this past Sunday against the Bears. Pearsall's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
-
Xavier Smith WR | LAR
Rams' Xavier Smith: Full Thursday
Smith (chest) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Smith led the Rams with 67 receiving yards on four catches in Monday night's loss to the Falcons. With Davante Adams (hamstring) expected to miss Week 18 against Arizona, Smith should again operate as the Rams' third receiver.
-
Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Limited again Thursday
London (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London also was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, giving him just one more chance to get back to full before the Falcons potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. He missed Weeks 12-15 due to a PCL sprain and has been able to suit up for both of the last two contests, but his cumulative 4-31-0 line on 10 targets during that span falls well short of his performances from the first 11 outings of the season.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Unable to practice
Williams (foot/illness) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Williams took a step backwards Thursday after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday. The wide receiver was unavailable for the team's Week 17 loss to the Ravens, and he's now potentially trending towards another absence Sunday against the Vikings. Williams will have one more chance to practice Friday and ultimately suit up for the Packers' regular-season finale.
