George Pickens WR | DAL
Cowboys' George Pickens: Four grabs against Commanders
Pickens caught four of five targets for 78 yards in the Cowboys' 30-23 win over the Commanders on Christmas Day.
Despite the limited looks, the star wideout finished second on Dallas in receiving yards, topped only by KaVontae Turpin, who turned his only catch into an 86-yard touchdown. The five targets represented Pickens' lowest volume since Week 5, but Thursday's production did put him over 90 catches and 1,400 yards on the season -- the first time he's reached either mark in his career. He'll look to finish the year on a high note ahead of his potential free agency this offseason in a Week 18 clash with the Giants.

Mason Tipton WR | NO
Saints' Mason Tipton: Another limited listing
Tipton (groin) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report.
Tipton was able to maintain his listing from Wednesday, but Friday's injury report ultimately will reveal if the second-year pro enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee. He's coming off four catches (on five targets) for 29 yards and one carry for 12 yards this past Sunday versus the Jets while working as the Saints' No. 3 WR behind Chris Olave and Kevin Austin.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Does little with 10 targets
Lamb caught five of 10 targets for 46 yards in the Cowboys' 30-23 win over the Commanders on Christmas Day.
The Pro Bowl wideout led Dallas in targets and catches on the day, but Lamb wound up third on the team in receiving yards and didn't haul in either of Dak Prescott's two TD passes. Lamb has caught at least five passes in five straight games, posting a 30-441-1 line on 44 targets over that stretch, and he'll look to finish the season on a high note in Week 18 against the Giants.

Jason Brownlee WR | KC
Chiefs' Jason Brownlee: Elevated for Week 17
The Chiefs have elevated Brownlee from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday's contest against the Broncos.
Brownlee will get a chance to handle a depth role in a Kansas City wide receiver corps that saw all of Rashee Rice (concussion), Tyquan Thornton (concussion) and Nikko Remigio (knee) placed on injured reserve leading up to Thursday's contest. He figures to contribute as the No. 5 WR behind Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Royals versus Denver.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Tagged as DNP on Thursday
Adams (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Adams sat out last Thursday at Seattle due to a lingering hamstring injury and a new knee issue. One day later, coach Sean McVay told Barshop that Adams was unlikely to be able to suit up Monday, Dec. 29 in Atlanta, and a 'DNP' listing to begin Week 17 prep backs up that sentiment. Ultimately, the Rams may make a ruling on Adams' upcoming availability by the time they post their final injury report of the week Saturday.

Nikko Remigio WR | KC
Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Lands on IR
The Chiefs placed Remigio (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.
Remigio will miss Kansas City's final two games of the 2025 campaign due to a knee injury. He logged 14 regular-season appearances with the team in 2025, in which span he mostly contributed on special teams, but did secure his only target for 21 yards. With Remigio and Tyquan Thornton (concussion) both having been placed on IR, Brashard Smith and Jalen Royals will be the favorites to take over as the Chiefs' top contributors in the return game.

Luther Burden III WR | CHI
Bears' Luther Burden: Limited listing Thursday
Burden (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.
Burden now has put together back-to-back limited listings on Bears injury reports since he sat out Week 16 against the Packers due to an ankle issue, potentially putting himself in a position to return to action Sunday at San Francisco. Meanwhile, fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) again was listed as a DNP on Thursday. In the end, Friday's practice report will unveil if either Burden or Odunze have a chance to see Week 17 action.
-
Mack Hollins WR | NE
Patriots' Mack Hollins: Estimated as DNP
Hollins (abdomen) was estimated as a non-participant at practice Thursday.
Hollins didn't practice Wednesday due to an abdomen issue, and had the team held an on-field session Thursday, he would've remained sidelined again. In order to have a chance at being cleared for Sunday's road matchup against the Jets, Hollins may need to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity Friday.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Listed as limited Thursday
London (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London made his return from a four-game absence due to a sprained PCL in his left knee this past Sunday at Arizona, a contest in which he logged a 69 percent snap share and gathered in three of eight targets for 27 yards. His listed practice restrictions Thursday likely are related to maintenance, and he'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Falcons potentially give him a designation for Monday's contest against the Rams.
-
Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Another DNP on Thursday
Odunze (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report.
Odunze last took part in practice Dec. 12 due to a stress fracture in his foot that has bothered him for a good portion of the season. Because the Bears didn't hold a session Thursday, he'll have only one more opportunity for on-field work this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco. Fellow WR Luther Burden (ankle) was listed as limited for a second day in a row, so Chicago may be getting some reinforcements in the passing game if the rookie second-round pick is able to put an end to a one-game absence.
