McConkey exited Sunday's 17-13 win over the Falcons with a knee injury.

Prior to his departure from the contest, McConkey caught nine of his 12 targets for 117 yards. Now that the wideout is dealing with a knee issue, his status will need to be monitored as next weekend's game against the Chiefs approaches. If McConkey ends up limited or out in Week 14, DJ Chark, Jalen Reagor and Derius Davis would be candidates to log added WR snaps behind Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer.

Brown suffered a rib injury during Sunday's game against the Titans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

At the time of his exit late in the third quarter, Brown had gathered in three of four targets for 27 yards. For as long as Brown is sidelined, Olamide Zaccheaus, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey will be the candidates for WR reps alongside top option Terry McLaurin.

Austin (head) was ruled out of Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Austin endured a big hit from Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt late in the second quarter on a six-yard catch. With his Week 13 now over, Austin will finish it with two receptions (on two targets) for 29 yards and one touchdown. His return to action will be subject to the protocol for head injuries.

Austin is being evaluated for a head injury and is questionable to return.

Austin may have sustained the injury after he was on the receiving end of a hard tackle from Bengals defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt on a six-yard catch in the final minute of the second quarter. Earlier in the contest, Austin hauled in 23-yard touchdown reception, his fifth score of the season.

Smith (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

Smith mustered a pair of limited practices to end Week 13 prep, after which he told EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer that he was unsure if he'd be able to return to action Sunday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network then reported late Saturday that there wasn't much optimism regarding the wide receiver's potential to play this weekend, and Smith's status ultimately came down to a pregame workout, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. With his lack of availability now confirmed along with Johnny Wilson (hamstring), Smith will cede WR reps to the likes of Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith, Britain Covey and Parris Campbell behind top option A.J. Brown.

Doubs (concussion) was spotted in full uniform taking part in the Packers' practice session Sunday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

While the Packers won't have to reveal their first Week 14 injury report until Monday, Doubs' presence on the field for an unofficial practice suggests he's made some progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. After suffering the head injury last Sunday in the Packers' Week 12 win over the 49ers, Doubs didn't practice in any fashion this past week before he was inactive for Green Bay's 30-17 victory over Miami on Thanksgiving Day. In addition to advancing to full practice participation, Doubs will also need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting the protocol and putting himself on track to play in the Packers' Week 14 matchup with the Lions this coming Thursday.

Young (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Young suited up for four of Seattle's previous five games, but he didn't log more than five offensive snaps in any contest during that span. The third-year wideout has yet to record a catch this season and has just one target, which came in Week 1 against Denver. As was the case in his first two years with the club, Young has worked primarily on special teams in 2024.

Smith (hamstring) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens and is viewed as a game-time call, with a decision on his status likely to come down to the pregame workout, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Though Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported late Saturday that the Eagles didn't have much optimism that Smith would be ready to play Sunday, the receiver seems to be pushing to suit up in Week 13. The Eagles will wait and see how Smith feels coming out of the workout before providing official word on whether he'll play around 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, when the team be required to submit its inactive list.

Osborn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

For the third week in a row, Osborn will be a healthy scratch as the Patriots roll with a wide-receiver corps of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker. Osborn's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Irwin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Irwin had frequently been a healthy inactive early this season, but he saw more opportunity when Tee Higgins was out with an injury Weeks 8 to 10. With Higgins back in Week 11, though, Irwin logged just three offensive snaps, and he won't play at all Week 13 following the Bengals' bye. With Charlie Jones (groin) also inactive Sunday, rookie Isaiah Williams could be asked to handle punts and may also get a few opportunities on offense.
