  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Steelers' DK Metcalf: Suspended for two games

    Metcalf has been suspended two games for "conduct detrimental to the NFL for initiating a physical confrontation with a fan" during Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Metcalf plans to appeal the suspension, but at this stage the wideout is slated to miss the Steelers' final two regular-season contests and would be eligible to return for the playoffs, should the team qualify. In Metcalf's looming absence, fellow WRs Calvin Austin (hamstring), Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling figure to see added opportunities, with TEs Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith also candidates to absorb some of the targets that would otherwise go Metcalf's way.

  • Tre Harris WR | LAC

    Chargers' Tre' Harris: Day-to-day, per coach

    Coach Jim Harbaugh noted Monday that Harris is "day-to-day"with a finger injury, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    In Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys, Harris logged a 45 percent snap share, while catching caught four of his five targets for 54 yards in the contest. With the wideout now managing a finger injury, added context regarding his status for this Saturday's game against the Texans is slated to arrive no later than the posting of Tuesday's injury practice/ injury report.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Listed as non-participant

    St. Brown (knee) is estimated as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.

    Detroit held a walkthrough Monday, so St. Brown's lack of participation is only an estimation. The star wideout is coming off a 29-24 loss to the Steelers in which he secured four of nine targets for 54 yards and nearly added a touchdown, but he had the would-be score nullified by penalty. He now faces a short week of rest before Thursday's road matchup against the Vikings. St. Brown may have to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity Tuesday and/or Wednesday in order to be cleared for action on Christmas Day.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Steven Sims: No catches in season debut

    Sims failed to haul in his lone target while playing seven of the team's 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

    Elevated from the practice squad for the first time all season ahead of the Week 16 contest, Sims ended up sharing the No. 4 receiver role with Jalen Brooks, as both players logged single-digit snaps in the loss. Sims made his greatest impact on special teams, where he should continue to be a factor as a return man if the Cardinals elevate him again for either or both of their final two games of the season.

  • Jalen Brooks WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Jalen Brooks: Role shrinks in Week 16

    Brooks went without a target while playing three of the Cardinals' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. He returned two kickoffs for 56 yards on special teams.

    After drawing three targets in both of the Cardinals' previous two contests, Brooks saw his role on offense diminish while Arizona welcomed Marvin Harrison back from a heel injury. Unless Arizona is missing one of Harrison, Michael Wilson or Xavier Weaver for one of its final two games of the season, Brooks doesn't look as though he'll be in line for many snaps on offense.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: No catches in Week 16

    Smith failed to haul in his lone target while playing seven of the Jets' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    The rookie fourth-round pick has suited up for each of the Jets' last three games but remains an afterthought on offense. He's played single-digit snaps in each of those contests and owns an unremarkable 6-47-0 receiving line on 13 targets through 14 appearances on the campaign.

  • Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Limited run on offense in Week 16

    Olszewski played just one snap on offense and returned one punt for five yards and three kickoffs for 71 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Making his return to action following a one-game absence due to a concussion, Olszewski wasn't much of a factor on offense but reclaimed his usual duties as the Giants' top punt and kickoff returner. Unless the Giants lose multiple receivers to injury over the final two weeks of the season, Olszewski is likely to continue seeing most of his playing time on special teams.

  • Dalen Cambre WR | NYG

    Giants' Dalen Cambre: Plays exclusively on special teams

    Cambre played all 11 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

    The undrafted rookie wideout out of Louisiana has now suited up in five games for the Giants but has yet to draw a target. The Giants continue to deploy him almost exclusively on special teams; he's logged just five snaps on offense this season.

  • Coleman Owen WR | IND

    Colts' Coleman Owen: Joins active roster

    Owen was elevated from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster Monday.

    The 24-year-old has joined the Colts' active roster for the second consecutive game. In the Week 15 loss to the Seahawks, Owen played 10 special-teams snaps while tallying 52 kickoff-return yards and two punt-return yards. He's expected to play a similar role Monday night, likely operating as Indianapolis' top return man.

  • Xavier Weaver WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Two grabs in return

    Weaver caught both of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    The Colorado product had missed the Cardinals' two games due to a hamstring injury, but he returned and tallied the fourth-most receiving yards on the team during Sunday's loss. Weaver has appeared in eight games this season, catching five of 10 targets for 43 yards. He's expected to remain a depth option in Arizona's receiving corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Bengals.
