  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Cleared after full practices

    Shakir (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Shakir logged three full practices during the week, suggesting he has made a full recovery from the high-ankle sprain that sidelined him for the entire preseason. Buffalo's receiving corps will be at 100 percent Sunday, as Keon Coleman (groin) and Elijah Moore (personal) also avoided injury designations Friday. Shakir led the Bills in catches (76) and receiving yards (821) during the 2024 regular season.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Questionable for potential debut

    Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    William was listed as a limited participant all week and is one of three Green Bay wideouts with a questionable designation for Sunday. The rookie could get some snaps if he's active while Jayden Reed (calf) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) are inactive, but Williams would still presumably be looking at a part-time role with minimal fantasy intrigue. A rookie third-round pick, Williams is noted for his work with the ball in his hands more so than his skill as a pass catcher.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Questionable for Week 1

    Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Listed as a limited participant all week, Wicks is one of three Packers wideouts with a questionable designation, joining Jayden Reed (foot) and Savion Williams (hamstring). Wicks could have a sizable role come Sunday if he's active and Reed isn't, but Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs still would be the much safer bets to pile up snaps/routes/targets for Green Bay. Kickoff is schedule for 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Listed as questionable

    Reed (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Fellow Packers wideouts Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (hamstring) also are listed as questionable, with the latter uncertain to have a role even if he's healthy enough to play. Reed, meanwhile, is hoping to fill his usual role as Green Bay's slot receiver, playing through a Jones fracture that may require surgery at some point. He was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, after opening the week listed as a non-participant. It's unclear if Reed will get the go-ahead from Green Bay's medical staff, potentially setting up a game-time decision in advance of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Noah Brown: Avoids injury designation

    Brown (knee/rest) didn't practice Friday but doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Listed as a limited participant the previous two days, Brown apparently showed enough to gain clearance for the season opener, although his knee requires maintenance. It's unclear if missing most of the summer will impact his depth-chart standing for Week 1; he entered training camp as the favorite for the No. 3 WR job but now could lose work to Jaylin Lane and/or Luke McCaffrey. Either way, Brown isn't likely to see many targets while both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel remain healthy.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Ruled out this week

    Kirk (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener versus the Rams.

    After missing practice this week, Kirk was trending in the wrong direction. Now that Kirk's Week 1 status has been confirmed, rookie WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel are in a position to see added opportunities this weekend behind top target Nico Collins, with Xavier Hutchinson and Justin Watson also on hand. Looking ahead, Kirk's Week 2 availability remains cloudy, with DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com having previously suggested that it could be a two-week injury for the 28-year-old, while noting that the Texans figure to proceed with caution with the wideout at this stage of the season.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Good to go for season opener

    Coleman (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Coleman was limited in practice by a groin issue Wednesday and Thursday but expressed optimism about his chances of suiting up Friday before proceeding to log a full session, which helped him avoid a Week 1 injury tag. Wide receivers Khalil Shakir (ankle) and Elijah Moore (personal) also avoided designations, so the position group will be at full strength for the regular-season opener.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Set to suit up Week 1

    Hill (oblique/calf) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    After being diagnosed with an oblique injury in early August, Hill missed most practices and Miami's entire preseason slate in the meantime, but he got back on the field last Thursday and then followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen during Week 1 prep, paving the way for him to be available to the offense Sunday. He's coming off a down campaign for him, having put up 81 catches (on 123 targets) for 959 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in 2024.

  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Gets green light for Week 1

    TeSlaa (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

    He returned to full practice participation Friday after being listed as limited the previous two days. The rookie third-round pick scored three touchdowns during the preseason, and he should have a role in the Lions' Week 1 offense after they traded Tim Patrick to Jacksonville last week -- a move seemingly linked to TeSlaa's accelerated development. In any case, Kalif Raymond is the remaining competition for whatever WR snaps don't go to standouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Clear for Week 1

    Nabers (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Nabers tended to a number of health concerns during training camp and the preseason, notably back tightness that plagued him most recently. The Giants even held him out of drills Friday due to the injury, as coach Brian Daboll told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. In the end, though, Nabers will be available as the top target for starting QB Russell Wilson as he looks to build upon the 109-1,204-7 line on 170 targets he put together as a rookie last season.
