Moore (concussion) remains listed as questionable but is expected to be available for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Moore was a limited participant during practice Wednesday and Thursday before being listed as a full participant Friday. He still has to be cleared by an independent neurologist before exiting the five-step protocol, but the Panthers expect him to get the green light to play. With rookie wideout Xavier Legette (hip) already ruled out, Moore should have a spot available in three-receiver sets alongside Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker (quadricep), who is also questionable but expected to play.

Coker (quadricep) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coker missed three straight games with a quad injury before returning to action in last week's loss to the Cowboys. The undrafted rookie then popped back up on Thursday's injury report with a quad issue, ending the week as a limited participant in two straight practices. Though the quad may still be nagging him a bit, Coker looks like he'll still be able to suit up and play consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 9 and 10. With Xavier Legette (hip) having already been ruled out, Coker and David Moore (concussion) -- who is also listed as questionable but expected to play -- should fill top-three roles at receiver alongside veteran Adam Thielen.

Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday versus the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill is dealing with a lingering wrist injury that kept him sidelined during practice Wednesday. He logged a full session Thursday before downgrading to limited activity Friday, resulting in him taking a designation into the weekend. Though all signs point to Hill suiting up Sunday as Miami looks to keep its playoff hopes alive, the wideout won't be formally cleared until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Jaylen Waddle (knee) considered doubtful to play, it's likely that Hill, Malik Washington and River Cracraft will line up as Miami's starting wideouts while tight end Jonnu Smith continues to factor heavily into the passing game.

Austin recorded four receptions on five targets for 65 yards in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Austin led the Steelers in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in targets due to George Pickens (hamstring) still being sidelined. The former had only six yards at halftime, though he came alive on Pittsburgh's second possession of the second half with two catches totaling 60 yards -- highlighted by an impressive toe-tapping catch that went for 44 yards. Austin has topped 60 receiving yards in consecutive games and half of his last six contests.

Flowers caught five of eight targets for 100 yards in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers.

The second-year wideout delivered his fifth 100-yard game of the season, but his first since Week 9. Flowers reached the 1,000-yard plateau on the season for the first time with the performance, and with two games left on the Ravens' schedule he sports a 71-1,106-4 line on 109 targets. Flowers will take aim at the Texans' secondary in Week 17.

The Falcons elevated Drummond from the practice squad Saturday.

Drummond's elevation coupled with Chris Blair's signing to the 53-man roster would seem to indicate KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) is on the wrong side of the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Drummond appeared in one game for the Lions last season, playing five snaps on offense and another three on special teams. He's yet to see action in 2024 and is still looking for his first NFL target.

The Falcons signed Blair off their practice squad Saturday.

Blair played six special teams snaps for Atlanta back in Week 1 but has played zero downs since. He was out of elevations, so the Falcons needed to sign him to the 53-man roster if they were going to have him for Week 16. Blair could get some playing time if KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) needs to miss Sunday's game.

Skowronek (hip) returned to Saturday's game at Baltimore, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Skowronek picked up a hip injury in the first half but rejoined the Steelers offense after halftime. He'll look to build upon the two catches (on two targets) for 25 yards that he had accrued before leaving the contest.

Dell suffered an apparent dislocated kneecap in his left leg during Saturday's loss at Kansas City, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Dell was injured as he reeled in a 30-yard touchdown from QB C.J. Stroud in the middle of the third quarter. He remained on the turf for some time as medical staff immobilized his left leg in an air cast before carting him off the field and transporting him to a Kansas City area hospital, where he's expected to remain overnight, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Per Rapoport, doctors still are determining the overall damage to Dell's left knee, and while surgery is a possibility, it has yet to occur.

Worthy caught seven of 11 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown while rushing three times for 10 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Worthy just missed catching a 24-yard touchdown pass late in the first half, failing to get his second foot down inbounds in the end zone as he tried to secure the catch. He also hurt his ankle just before halftime but returned for the second half and proceeded to set a new career high in catches while leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The rookie made no mistake with another chance to score in the third quarter, recording an eight-yard touchdown reception for his eighth total touchdown through 15 games. Even with fellow speedster Hollywood Brown (shoulder) back in the fold, Worthy's poised to maintain a prominent role in Kansas City's offense against the Steelers on Christmas.
