Covey (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Covey logged limited practices Thursday and Friday, but he'll sit out Sunday. His next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Steelers. Cooper DeJean, Jahan Dotson and Ainias Smith all are candidates to return punts in Covey's absence.

Wilson (hamstring) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson will be available Sunday, but he's unlikely to play a significant role behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson. Smith has been cleared to return for his first action since Week 11 after missing two games due to a hamstring injury of his own.

Hardman (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Hardman suffered the injury Friday, per coach Andy Reid, leaving the wide receiver questionable for Sunday's game. If Hardman's unable to suit up, Carson Steele and Xavier Worthy are the top candidates to return kickoffs and punts, respectively.

Boyd (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Boyd avoided an injury designation by practicing fully Friday. The slot receiver has had a disappointing season, but he's trending up ahead of this favorable Week 14 matchup, having recorded at least 34 receiving yards in three consecutive games after falling short of that mark in eight of his first nine games with the Titans.

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.
