Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Meyers wasn't able to practice Thursday due to an ankle injury. Coach Antonio Pierce told Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com on Friday that Meyers was "full go, ready to go," but the wide receiver ended up limited on the Raiders' final Week 14 injury report. Pierce's comments seem to indicate Meyers will be available Sunday, which won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Washington (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest in Tennessee.

Washington showed up on the Jaguars' Week 14 practice report Thursday as limited due to a shoulder injury and maintained that activity level Friday, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. However, the issue won't impact Washington's availability this weekend. Prior to his 6-103-1 performance on 12 targets this past Sunday against the Texans, he had a cumulative 10-118-0 line on 18 targets through the first 11 games of the campaign, so it may be difficult for Washington to replicate the most recent fruitful outing.

Metcalf (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

His downgrade from limited participation Wednesday to non-participation Thursday appears to have been about maintenance rather than indicating any kind of setback. Metcalf played through the same shoulder injury last week after missing two practices, catching four of nine targets for 66 yards in a 26-21 win over the Jets.

Palmer (hip) is listed as quesitonable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Palmer's status is in doubt after a hip injury limited his practice participation Thursday and Friday. Even if he suits up, Palmer will likely remain in a depth role behind Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard. Evans doesn't have an injury designation after battling hamstring and calf injuries during the week.

Moore (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Moore opened Week 14 prep with a limited listing on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a shoulder injury. While he upgraded to full participation Thursday and maintained that activity level Friday, fellow WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) didn't log any on-field work this week and has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. As a result, Moore will have less competition for passes from QB Jameis Winston, though he likely will rank behind WR Jerry Jeudy and TE David Njoku in the pecking order.

Evans (hamstring/calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Evans was a limited practice participant Friday after sitting out the previous two days. It seems his absences were a matter of maintenance rather than reflecting genuine concern about his Week 14 availability. Evans put up an 8-112-1 receiving line against Carolina last week in his second game back from a hamstring injury.

Austin (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Austin's lack of designation means he has cleared concussion protocol. He practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday after being limited Wednesday. The 5-foot-9 wide receiver brings a two-game touchdown streak into Sunday's clash between AFC North rivals, including a Week 12 score versus Cleveland. Austin has three touchdowns in six games with Russell Wilson at quarterback.

Moore (quadriceps) is optimistic he'll play against the 49ers on Sunday, after being listed as questionable on the final injury report, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

"I play through everything," Moore said Friday, suggesting he expects to play despite managing just one limited practice at the end of the week. He's missed two games in seven NFL seasons, with a concussion holding him out for the 2019 finale and then COVID keeping him out Week 14 of 2020. Moore has played through his fair share of minor injuries, but he's also had better luck than most at simply avoiding them in the first place. In any case, it sounds like his odds are better than 50/50 to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pickens was limited at Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Pickens was a late addition to the Steelers' Week 14 practice report, added Friday as a limited participant. Since a Week 9 bye, he's accrued a 20-302-2 line on 32 targets in four games, displaying strong chemistry with QB Russell Wilson. Pickens' status may not be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Means (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Means was placed on injured reserve Nov. 2 due to a high-ankle sprain that he picked up in Week 8 against the Chargers. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, but after opening the week as a limited practice participant, he logged consecutive DNPs on Thursday and Friday. Means' next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 15.
