Covey (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Covey practiced in full all week but was still ruled out. He's simply fallen down the depth chart as the Eagles' sixth receiver behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith.

Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after logging a limited practice Friday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill, who didn't practice Wednesday, worked fully Thursday, but following Friday's limited listing and corresponding Week 16 game status, the wideout's availability now is worth monitoring closely as Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. With fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee) doubtful for the contest, Malik Washington and River Cracraft are the healthiest options Miami currently rosters at the position.

Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Brooks showed up on the Cowboys' Week 16 practice report Thursday as limited due to a knee injury and didn't handle any reps Friday before the team made a decision on his status ahead of the weekend. With Brooks out of the lineup Sunday, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo and Ryan Flournoy will be the tertiary wide receivers behind starters CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks.

Shepard (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Ahead of a Week 15 matchup with the Chargers, Shepard managed just one limited practice (Friday) due to a foot injury but still suited up this past Sunday, earning a 50 percent snap share and catching his only target for 16 yards. This time around, he sat out Wednesday but followed it up with back-to-back capped sessions due to the same health concern. With his status cleared for Week 16, Shepard will remain the No. 3 WR behind top options Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan.

Boyd (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Boyd was listed as DNP on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to a full practice Friday and is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup. He's topped 50 receiving yards in a game just once all season and has yet to catch a touchdown. He's far from fantasy relevancy on this Titans team.

Valdes-Scantling (chest) didn't practice Friday due to an illness, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

After Valdes-Scantling was held out of drills Thursday due to a chest injury, there was an expectation that he'd take part in some capacity one day later, but an ailment kept him off the practice field. Saturday's injury report will give a sense of the wide receiver's chances to suit up Monday at Green Bay.

The Ravens have waived Johnson.

Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that as a result of the move, Johnson will go on waivers and can be claimed Monday at 4:00 p.m. ET. It remains to be seen if the veteran wideout will be claimed, but either way Johnson now will have a chance to play elsewhere following his brief and unproductive stint with the Ravens.

Olave (concussion) was a limited practice participant Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, with Saints coach Darren Rizzi telling reporters that the wideout "got some great news" but is "probably doubtful" to play in Monday's game at Green Bay. The Saints haven't ruled Olave out, however, and it sounds like he may return Week 17 or 18 if he isn't back Monday night.

Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Indianapolis.

Westbrook-Ikhine was held out of drills Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, but his return to a full session Friday has cleared him for Week 16 action. With Tyler Boyd (foot) following the same practice regimen this week and also entering the weekend without a designation, the top of the Titans' receiving corps is good to go for Sunday. As a result, Westbrook-Ikhine will remain a TD-dependent option while working with new starting quarterback Mason Rudolph.

Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington.

He never appeared in real danger of missing the game, listed under knee/rest after a limited practice Thursday. Brown was limited again at Friday's practice but should be ready for his usual workload this Sunday as the Eagles look to clinch the NFC East.
