Williams caught both of his targets for 37 yards in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.

Williams had a 15-yard catch in the first half and a 22-yard catch in the second half as Jared Goff threw for 197 yards and had five turnovers. This was only the second time in the last eight games that Williams fell short of 70 receiving yards, as the speedster can usually be relied upon for a few long catches per game. Detroit has been eliminated from playoff contention ahead of the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Bears.

St. Brown (undisclosed) caught eight of 13 targets for 68 yards in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.

St. Brown was targeted on nearly half of Jared Goff's pass attempts as Goff desperately tried to get going against Minnesota's stifling defense. The quarterback ultimately turned it over five times in a loss that eliminated the Lions from playoff contention, so leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards was of little consolation to St. Brown on Thursday. He suited up despite being listed as questionable entering Thursday's game, and the star wide receiver needed attention from trainers after taking an awkward hit in the final minute of the fourth quarter, though he walked off under his own power, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. The banged-up St. Brown's status will bear monitoring ahead of the regular-season finale against the Bears in Week 18.

Heath (personal) is not listed on Thursday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Heath did not suit up Week 16 versus the Cardinals due to a personal matter, though he had been a healthy scratch for Atlanta's prior two contests. He'll be fully available for Monday's home game against the Rams in the event the coaching staff decides Heath is ready for his Falcons debut after having been claimed by the team off waivers Dec. 8.

Harrison (heel) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Harrison maintained his activity level from Wednesday's walkthrough, but he now has just one chance remaining during Week 17 prep to prove the health of his lingering heel injury. Friday's practice report will reveal if he carries a designation into Sunday's contest at Cincinnati, but even if he's able to suit up again, he may not be as featured in Arizona's passing attack after handling just a 51 percent snap share en route to one catch (on three targets) for 14 yards this past Sunday against the Falcons in his return from a two-game absence.

Price (ankle) has been ruled out to return to Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Price suffered an ankle injury during the opening kickoff of Thursday's divisional matchup and will not retake the field. His next opportunity to return to action will come Sunday, Jan. 4 versus the Packers in Week 18.

Hollins (abdomen) was listed as not practicing on the Patriots' Thursday estimate.

Following back-to-back 'DNP' listings, what the wideout is able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jets. The same goes for fellow WR Kayshon Boutte (concussion), who also has logged consecutive 'DNP' listings. If one or both players are out this weekend, Kyle Williams would likely see added snaps versus New York.

Watson (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday due to an illness and is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Watson opened Week 17 prep with back-to-back full listings before Thursday's absence, making him one of five Packers to have logged at least one absence to due illness this week. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's able to suit up, who will be directing Green Bay's offense is up in the air as both Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion) and backup Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) also are listed as questionable.

Samuel caught two of four targets for 68 yards and added 25 rushing yards on two carries in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Christmas Day.

The 93 scrimmage yards were Samuel's highest total since Week 5. The veteran wideout hasn't handled more than four touches in any of the last four games, managing a 12-173-0 line on 19 targets during that span in addition to Thursday's 25 rushing yards. He'll look to make his first trip to the end zone since Week 11 in a Week 18 trip to Philadelphia.

McLaurin caught five of seven targets for 63 yards in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Christmas Day.

The five catches led Washington on the day, although Deebo Samuel finished with five more yards. McLaurin has been consistently productive since returning from a quadriceps strain in Week 13 despite the team's revolving door at quarterback, putting together a 21-322-2 line on 35 targets over the last five games. The star wideout will look to cap a disappointing season with a big performance in Week 18 against the Eagles.

Davis (ankle) is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.

Davis will miss a third consecutive game due to his lingering ankle issue. He wasn't able to take the practice field in any capacity during Week 17 prep, meaning Davis' status could also be up in the air in Week 18. As long as Davis remains sidelined, KeAndre Lambert-Smith will stand to operate as the Chargers' primary kickoff returner, while Ladd McConkey takes over punt-return duties.
