Van Jefferson WR | TEN
Titans' Van Jefferson: Hurts forearm Sunday
Jefferson (forearm) won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints.
Prior to injuring his forearm, Jefferson caught all three of his targets for 46 yards. In his absence, James Proche and Mason Kinsey are available to handle added WR snaps alongside Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Sustains ribs injury
Waddle (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.
Waddle injured his ribs in the second quarter of Miami's matchup against Tampa Bay. He didn't record a single reception before leaving the field Sunday, though he did log one carry for seven yards. Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease and Tahj Washington will operate as the Dolphins' only available wide receivers as long as Waddle remains sidelined.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Evaluated for possible concussion
Shaheed is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Shaheed will be ineligible to return to action Sunday if he is indeed diagnosed with a concussion and placed into the NFL's five-step recovery protocol. While Shaheed is sidelined, Dareke Young and Jake Bobo will handle increased roles on offense and in the return game.

Cody White WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cody White: Unlikely to return vs. Carolina
White (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers.
White appeared to sustain the injury early in the first quarter while on punt coverage. The Seahawks would be down a pivotal contributor on special teams if White is unable to return, and Dareke Young and Jake Bobo are poised to take on larger roles on offense.

DJ Moore WR | CHI
Bears' DJ Moore: Added to report, iffy for Sunday
The Bears added Moore to their injury report and list him questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an illness.
Moore was a full participant in practice throughout the week, but his availability for Week 17 is suddenly in question after he presumably fell ill overnight. Along with Moore, the Bears list fellow wideout Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) as questionable for Sunday's contest, while Rome Odunze (foot) is slated to miss a fourth consecutive game. Clarity on the statuses of Moore and Zaccheaus should arrive when the Bears post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but if neither player is available, Chicago would be left with Luther Burden, Devin Duvernay, Jahdae Walker and JP Richardson at receiver.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | CHI
Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Questionable for Sunday night
Zaccheaus is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an illness.
Along with Zaccheaus, the Bears also added fellow wideout DJ Moore to their injury report and list him as questionable for the Week 17 contest. Clarity on the statuses of both wideouts will be available when Chicago posts its inactive list 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. With Rome Odunze (foot) already ruled out for Week 17, Luther Burden, Devin Duvernay, Jahdae Walker and JP Richardson would be the Bears' other options at receivers if both Moore and Zaccheaus end up sitting out.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Just one catch in Week 17 loss
Allen caught one pass (on three targets) for 17 yards during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.
Allen caught a 17-yard pass from Justin Herbert late in the third quarter, but that was the only reception the veteran wide receiver recorded during Saturday's loss. It was Allen's lowest production in a game this season and the first time he was limited to just one catch since Week 15 of the 2020 season. The Chargers' loss clinched the AFC West division for the Broncos, and with the two squads facing each other Week 18, Allen and the rest of the Chargers' starters may sit or operate on a snap count as the Bolts gear up for a postseason run.

Jamari Thrash WR | CLE
Browns' Jamari Thrash: Healthy scratch for Week 17
Thrash (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Thrash signed with the Browns on Dec. 15, but the wide receiver has not been able to get on the field for the team. The 25-year-old will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game with the Browns' offense electing to go with Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Isaiah Bond, Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain at wide receiver.
