Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Status in question for Sunday
Harrison (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Cincinnati, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Harrison was listed as limited on all three of Arizona's Week 17 practice reports due to a heel injury, which, according to the wide receiver, feels "solid" and should allow him to play Sunday. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he does suit up, it stands to reason he may not be available for much more than the 51 percent snap share he handled this past Sunday against the Falcons.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Another limited practice
London (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London was also listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report, meaning Saturday will be his last opportunity to prove himself capable of handling full practice reps ahead of Monday Night Football against Los Angeles. The star wideout returned from a four-game absence versus Arizona in Week 16 but secured just three of eight targets for 27 yards. Tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) was added to Friday's injury report as a limited participant.

Bryce Oliver WR | TEN
Titans' Bryce Oliver: Stays on IR for Week 17
Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Oliver will not be activated from IR this week, making it consecutive weeks since the wide receiver's practice window opened that he will not get the go-ahead. The 25-year-old hasn't played since Week 2, and if he is unable to get on the field for Week 18, his season will end with just one catch on one target for 8 yards.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Ready to face Bills
Brown (teeth) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against Buffalo.
Brown had his wisdom teeth removed earlier this week, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but he's now resumed practicing without limitations after having been listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. The star wideout looks on track to handle his usual role as one of Philadelphia's top playmakers on offense during Sunday's key showdown against the 11-4 Bills. Across his last five regular-season appearances, Brown is averaging seven catches for 95.6 receiving yards per game, with four scores in that span.

Beaux Collins WR | NYG
Giants' Beaux Collins: Not ready to return Week 17
Collins (neck/concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas.
Collins will miss his seventh straight contest after suffering a neck injury Nov. 2 in a game against San Francisco. He was designated to return to practice Dec. 10 and initially logged a full practice, but he's now been unable to practice in any capacity the past two weeks. It's not clear if Collins has suffered a setback, but he'll need to be activated by next Wednesday, or he'll be ineligible to return for New York's final contest of the campaign.

Calvin Austin III WR | PIT
Steelers' Calvin Austin: Won't play Sunday against Browns
Austin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
With Austin out and DK Metcalf suspended for two games, Varley suggests that it's "going to be all hands on deck this week" for the Steelers at the wide receiver position. With that in mind, added Week 17 snaps will be available for some combination of Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek and Roman Wilson, with Brandon Johnson representing a possible practice squad elevation. Additionally, QB Aaron Rodgers may turn to TEs Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith more often than usual, with Pittsburgh's top two WR options on the shelf this weekend.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Won't play Sunday
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Jones is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury sustained in the Week 15 loss to the Ravens. The third-year pro from Purdue has appeared in 14 games this season, tallying 1,084 kick-return yards and 115 punt-return yards. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect Ke'Shawn Williams to operate as Cincinnati's top return man.
-
Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Ready for Sunday
Godwin (fibula) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Miami.
Godwin opened Week 17 prep Wednesday with a limited session due to his lingering fibula injury before being listed as a DNP for rest purposes on Thursday's estimated practice report. He then logged a full practice Friday, clearing him to suit up this weekend. Godwin has earned at least a 60 percent snap share in four straight games, a stretch in which he's tallied a 17-183-1 line on 24 targets.
-
D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Labeled doubtful for Week 17
Eskridge (toe) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Eskridge did not practice in any capacity in preparation for Sunday's home contest against Tampa Bay. The kick returner and depth wideout is trending in the wrong direction for Week 17, and if Eskridge is ultimately made inactive Sunday, Cedrick Wilson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will both be candidates to handle expanded roles on offense.
-
Justin Watson WR | HOU
Texans' Justin Watson: Won't play Saturday
The Texans announced Friday that Watson (calf), who remains on IR, is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chargers.
Watson is not yet ready to return to game action despite having had his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 10. The depth wideout's next chance to return to the field will come Week 18 against the Colts, though if the Texans don't activate him to the 53-man roster by Wednesday, Dec. 31, he will be forced to spend the remainder of the 2025 campaign on IR.
