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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Burden (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco.

Burden sat out a Week 16 matchup with the Packers due to an ankle injury that he suffered one week prior against the Browns, but after getting back to a full practice Friday, he's in the clear for Week 17 action. With Rome Odunze (foot) still sidelined, Burden will be among the top WRs available to the Bears offense this weekend along with DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus.

Olave (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Olave has been dealing with a back injury since before a Week 13 matchup with the Dolphins, but he's been able to suit up for each of the the Saints' last four contests en route to a 23-310-4 line on 37 targets during that span. Considering he was listed as full both Wednesday and Thursday before Friday's limited session, the downgrade likely was related to maintenance, but ultimately his status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Odunze thus will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a stress fracture in his foot. With Odunze sidelined again, the Bears will be rolling with DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay and Jahdae Walker at wide receiver Sunday. Odunze's next chance for regular-season game action is a Week 18 home matchup with the Lions.

Gould (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

The second-year pro from Oregon State is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a foot injury sustained in the Week 14 loss to the Jaguars. While Gould remains sidelined, expect Ameer Abdullah and Josh Downs to serve as Indianapolis' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

Boutte (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

The same applies to Mack Hollins (abdomen), and in the duo's looming absence, look for Stefon Diggs to lead the Patriots' Week 17 WR corps, with Kyle Williams and DeMario Douglas (hamstring, questionable) -- if he's available -- in line to see added opportunities. Also in the mix will be Efton Chism, while John Jiles, Brandon Smith and Jeremiah Webb are candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest.
