Odunze (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Odunze returned to full practice participation Friday after an illness kept him out the previous two days. He had one of his better games of the year the last time he faced Green Bay, catching six of 10 targets for 65 yards in a 20-19 loss in Week 11.

Nacua will be held out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Nacua finished the regular season with 990 receiving yards, one year after setting the rookie record. He'll be back in action for the wild-card round against Detroit, Minnesota, Washington or Green Bay.

Kupp will be held out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

The same goes for QB Matthew Stafford, RB Kyren Williams and WR Puka Nacua, among others. Kupp and Co. will be back on the field for the wild-card round to host the Lions, Vikings, Commanders or Packers.

Nabers (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nabers was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, after playing through the same toe injury last week and putting up a 7-171-2 receiving line against Indianapolis. He'll close out his rookie season against a Philadelphia defense that's arguably been the best in the league this season but likely will be resting a lot of key players this week.

Samuel (rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Buffalo has been one of the healthiest teams in the NFL all season, and that trend continues for Week 18. Samuel's the only questionable player for the Bills, while linebacker Terrel Bernard (quadriceps) is out. Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic believes Samuel could be among the team leaders in playing time at wide receiver if he suits up, as Buffalo is expected to rest key contributors -- including star quarterback Josh Allen -- for the majority of Sunday's regular-season finale.

London (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, London returned to full participation Friday and should be fine for his usual workload come Sunday. The real question mark is fellow wideout Darnell Mooney, who was also added to the injury report Thursday (with a shoulder injury) and then didn't practice Friday. Mooney is listed as questionable and may end up a game-time decision.

Boyd (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Signed to a one-year, $2.4 million deal back in May, Boyd's 2024 season in Tennessee will be one to forget. Across 16 games, he registered a 39-390-0 line on 57 targets as the Titans' slot receiver. His per-game averages of 2.4 catches for 24.4 yards were his lowest since 2017, Boyd's second season in the NFL. It also marked his first season without a touchdown. Boyd is scheduled to head back to the free-agent market in March at 30 years old.

Mooney (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Mooney popped up on the Falcons' practice report Thursday as limited due to a shoulder injury, which will cast doubt on the wide receiver's ability to suit up for the regular-season finale. Atlanta needs a win and a Tampa Bay loss against the Saints to win the NFC South and sneak into the playoffs, so Mooney will be motivated to suit up in his usual starting role on the outside if possible. Coach Raheem Morris said Friday that Mooney -- who needs eight receiving yards to reach 1,000 for the second time in his career -- will be a game-time decision, per Raimondi.

Legette (hip/wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Legette missed Week 16 with the same pair of injuries but returned for last week's 48-14 loss to the Buccaneers. He mentioned potentially needing wrist surgery after the season, and it's possible the injury has contributed to his rookie-year inefficiency (10.2 yards per catch, 5.9 per target). Legette was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, following full participation Wednesday. His availability should be confirmed one way or another about 90 minutes before the Panthers' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Evans needs 85 yards Sunday against the Saints to tie Jerry Rice's NFL record of 11 straight seasons with 1,000 receiving yards.

In addition to the streak, Evans will earn a $3 million incentive if he catches five or more passes and records 85-plus yards. The Buccaneers aren't necessarily in position to force him the ball given that they need a win to lock up a playoff spot, but that could change in the second half if they pull away from the injury-riddled Saints. Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said he's thinking about the milestone more than Evans is and believes the wideout will get the necessary numbers.
