Williams caught five of eight targets for 80 yards in Thursday's 34-31 win over the Packers.

Williams led the team in receiving yards on a team-high eight targets, most notably reeling in a 28-yard catch in the first quarter. The wide receiver's dynamic skill set has led to some big performances this season, and the five catches matched his season high, which he now has accomplished in three straight games and five times overall in 2024. On the year, Williams has caught 39 of 63 targets for 710 yards and four touchdowns while appearing in 11 games.

Patrick caught six of seven targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 34-31 win over the Packers.

Patrick was finally able to reach the end zone for the first time since the 2021 season, scoring on a three-yard catch in the third quarter and a one-yard snag in the fourth quarter. The 31-year-old has carved out a solid role for himself as the undisputed No. 3 option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams at wide receiver, catching 15 of 18 targets for 172 yards and two scores the last four games. On the season, Patrick has 27 receptions for 349 yards and two touchdowns in 12 contests with Detroit.

St. Brown brought in five of six targets for 43 yards and rushed once for 10 yards in the Lions' 34-31 win over the Packers on Thursday night.

As had been the case in four of his previous five meetings with the Packers, St. Brown was held to under 57 receiving yards while furnishing his fourth-lowest yardage total of the campaign. However, he saved his most valuable contribution for his final catch, as he brought in a 16-yard dart from Jared Goff over the middle on second-and-17 with 1:42 remaining. Despite the modest numbers Thursday, St. Brown should be heavily involved in a Week 15 home matchup against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 15 that could serve as a Super Bowl preview.

Watson secured four of seven targets for 114 yards and lost a fumble in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

Watson's night got off to an inconspicuous start when he lost a fumble after a 20-yard reception on the first play of the second quarter. While that mistake led to a Lions field goal, Watson came back to record a 59-yard catch on the Packers' second play of the second half, and he went on to add a 29-yard grab with just under eight minutes remaining in the contest. The game marked Watson's second over the 100-yard mark for the season, and he's recorded at least 67 receiving yards in three of the last four contests. Watson's production still is subject to some game-to-game volatility, but he could be in line for another robust role in a Week 15 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 15, especially if Romeo Doubs (concussion) isn't able to make it back for that contest.

Covey (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday.

Covey didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a neck injury he suffered against the Ravens this past Sunday. His ability to practice Thursday is a sign that he is progressing in his recovery, though he would have to log a full practice Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Carolina.

Wilson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Wilson has been listed as a limited participant for the first two practices of the week due to a hamstring injury which caused him to be sidelined this past Sunday against the Ravens. Wilson would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Panthers if he were able to log a full practice Friday. The rookie sixth-round wideout has caught one pass (on two targets) for five yards over his past three games.

Metcalf (shoulder) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf tended to a knee injury during this past Sunday's win at the Jets, but it wasn't the reason his practice reps have been impacted during Week 14 prep. Instead, the shoulder issue that sidelined him for the first two sessions last week has left him limited this Wednesday and a DNP one day later. As such, Metcalf's listing on Friday's injury report will be of keen interest in advance of Sunday's game in Arizona.

The Seahawks claimed Darden off waivers Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Darden was waived by the Browns on Wednesday, and it didn't take long for the 2021 fourth-round pick to find a new home. Darden has mostly operated as a return man this season and has logged 234 punt-return yards and 97 kickoff-return yards across seven regular-season games.

Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Jones has been sidelined for the Bengals' last four games due to a groin injury. He'll likely have to log a full practice at least once over the next two days in order to be cleared to play against the Cowboys on Monday. Jones played in the first eight games of the regular season and logged one catch for five yards while adding 200 kick-return yards and one touchdown in that capacity.

Robinson (hand) was a full practice participant Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Robinson suffered a hand injury in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win at New Orleans and didn't return. After he opened Week 14 prep with a limited practice Wednesday, he got back to full participation one day later, setting him up to continue to serve as the Rams' No. 3 WR behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. In 12 appearances this season, Robinson has gathered in 28 of 53 targets for 433 yards and a team-leading seven touchdowns.
