Metcalf (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

The Seahawks may be exercising caution with two of their top wide receivers, but neither Metcalf nor Tyler Lockett (knee) have logged any on-field work this week, leaving just one more chance to do so ahead of the weekend. Friday's practice likely will be key for Metcalf's odds to be available Sunday at the Jets.

Brown was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report due to a knee issue.

The Commanders added Brown to the injury report midweek, so the situation will be one to monitor as the weekend approaches to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday versus the Titans, especially with the team's Week 14 bye on the horizon. Over the last seven games, he's surpassed 50 receiving yards on four occasions en route to a 23-315-1 line on 42 targets during that stretch.

Mooney (Achilles) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

As the Falcons emerge from their Week 12 bye, Mooney again is dealing with an Achilles injury, but after a limited practice Wednesday he experienced an upgrade one day later, setting him up to play this Sunday against the Chargers. He's averaging 4.4 catches for a career-high 64.6 yards per game, with a career-high five TDs in 11 appearances. The target volume (7.4 per game) doesn't quite match what Mooney got during his 1,055-yard breakout season in 2020 (8.2 targets per game), but his per-target efficiency in Atlanta is better than it ever was in Chicago, with the wideout averaging career highs for yards per catch (14.8) and yards per target (8.8).

Coleman (wrist) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report.

Coleman, who last saw game action Week 9, now has logged back-to-back limited listings, suggesting that he has a chance to be available Sunday night against the 49ers. However, the wideout will presumably need to work fully Friday in order to head into the weekend without an injury designation.

Moore caught eight passes for 97 yards and one touchdown on 16 targets against Detroit in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Lions.

There were some missed opportunities and overall it wasn't an efficient day for Moore on a per-target basis, but the target volume and resulting production still made it a good day for Moore's fantasy investors. That the Bears managed to lose in such memorable and embarrassing fashion might provoke further shakeups in the Chicago coaching staff, but the last two weeks have otherwise been encouraging for Moore. The Bears face San Francisco on the road in Week 14.

London (hip) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

London is a midweek addition to the Falcons' practice report due to a hip issue, which may be maintenance related as he previously tended to a hip pointer during Week 10 prep. He was able to suit up in both of the team's games prior to a Week 12 bye, combining for a 11-158-0 line on 20 targets during that span. Friday's report will reveal whether or not London enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Smith (hamstring) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report.

This marks Smith's first listing that isn't DNP since a Week 11 win against the Commanders due to a hamstring issue, potentially putting himself on a path to return to action Sunday at Baltimore. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he in fact has a chance to do so.

Tillman (concussion) was deemed a non-participant in practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Tillman's DNP isn't a surprise, as head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that the wideout is still in concussion protocol. Tillman has an extra day to clear the league's five-step protocol with Cleveland playing against Denver on Monday Night Football, but his status is nonetheless in doubt for that contest. If Tillman can't suit up against the Broncos, Elijah Moore could get more targets and Jamari Thrash could log more snaps on offense.

Ridley (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

After he missed Wednesday's session, Ridley's return to the field a day later bodes well for his availability for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Titans' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's participation level, but so far there's nothing to suggest that Ridley is in danger of being out this weekend.

Coker (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Coker has been a listed DNP on three consecutive injury reports stretching back to last week as he tends to a quad issue that sidelined him this past Sunday versus the Chiefs. He thus will have just one more chance to get back on the field this week before the Panthers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.
