Jalen Reagor WR | LAC
Chargers' Jalen Reagor: Shifts to IR
The Chargers placed Reagor (finger) on injured reserve Saturday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Reagor had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay after suffering a finger injury last Sunday against the Chiefs. With his move to IR, the veteran wideout will not be able to return to action this season unless the Chargers make the playoffs. Los Angeles elevated wideout Laviska Shenault from the practice squad Saturday to help fill Reagor's role as a depth receiver and kick returner.

Casey Washington WR | ATL
Falcons' Casey Washington: Out again Week 15
Washington (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Raiders, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Washington suffered a concussion Week 11 against Denver, but he was able to play Week 13 following Atlanta's Week 12 bye. However, the rookie wideout was a late scratch Week 14 due to lingering concussion symptoms, and he didn't practice at all this week. When healthy, Washington has mostly played on special teams, logging just nine offensive snaps over eight contests.

Grant DuBose WR | BUF
Dolphins' Grant DuBose: Activated for Week 15
DuBose (shoulder), who remains questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Texans, was activated off injured reserve Saturday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
DuBose played only two games this season before landing on IR due to a shoulder injury. He's been working his way back since and was able to log a trio of limited practices this week. Prior to his injury, DuBose was working as a depth wideout and made one catch on three targets for 13 yards over 37 offensive snaps.

James Proche WR | TEN
Browns' James Proche: Gets another elevation Week 15
The Browns elevated Proche from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday in advance of Sunday's contest against Kansas City, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Proche's elevation is his second in as many weeks due to Cedric Tillman being sidelined due to a concussion. Last Sunday versus Pittsburgh, Proche made the most of his two offensive snaps, recording two catches on two targets for 18 yards. He'll likely serve in a depth role at wide receiver and see limited work on offense again Sunday against the Chiefs.

Michael Woods II WR | CLE
Browns' Michael Woods: Expected third WR Sunday
Woods should maintain his role as the third wide receiver Sunday against the Chiefs, as Cedric Tillman has been ruled out.
Woods has eight targets and played 81.6 percent of the offensive snaps over the last two weeks while filling in for Tillman. Prior to his concussion, Tillman generated 44 targets and three touchdowns over five games, so the third wide receiver carries potential in a Jameis Winston-led offense. Cleveland hopes to use a more balanced run/pass ratio Sunday and minimize the opportunities for the Chiefs' offense; however, the Browns often play from behind and Winston has averaged 43.2 attempts per game over the last six weeks.

Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Not suiting up Week 15
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Johnson landed on IR in late October. He was designated to return Thursday, but he hasn't ramped up enough to return to game action this week. Johnson will need to be activated from IR before he's able to suit up on game day again. His next chance to play will be Sunday, Dec. 22 versus Dallas.

Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Ready for Week 15
Davis (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Davis was held to limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, but he logged a full session Friday, suggesting that he's recovered from the issue in time to play Sunday. With the second-year wideout back at full health, he's expected to serve as the Chargers' top kick and punt returner in Week 15. Davis could also have increased offensive opportunities with Jalen Reagor (finger) sidelined Sunday.
-
Jalen Reagor WR | LAC
Chargers' Jalen Reagor: Won't play in Week 15
Reagor (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Reagor was unable to practice all week after sustaining a finger injury in the Chargers' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. Derius Davis and DJ Chark could see increased offensive roles as depth options in the Chargers' wide receiver corps with Reagor sidelined in Week 15.

Mike Strachan WR | WAS
Mike Strachan: Cut loose by Washington
The Commanders cut Strachan from the practice squad Friday.
Washington needed Strachan's roster spot for kicker Greg Joseph. Strachan has bounced off and on the practice squad with the Commanders this season, but he hasn't appeared in a regular-season contest since last year with Carolina.
-
Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Questionable for Sunday
McConkey (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after being limited in practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
McConkey has logged six straight limited practice listings, and given that he was inactive for last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, his status for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET contest remains uncertain. Ideally, those considering him in Week 15 fantasy lineups will have added context regarding his status prior to the early wave of kickoffs, but if McConkey remains sidelined versus Tampa Bay, fellow wideouts Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would be in line to see added snaps and targets.
