Johnny Wilson WR | PHI
Eagles' Johnny Wilson: No targets in Week 11
Wilson was not targeted in Thursday's 26-18 win over the Commanders.
Wilson scored his first career touchdown in Week 10 but played only 18 offensive snaps that game and was targeted only once. His role wasn't much smaller in Week 11, dropping to 13 snaps and zero targets. He's now gone untargeted in half of the Eagles' 10 games this season, including in five of the last six.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: One catch again
Dotson finished with one catch for eight yards in Thursday's win over the Commanders.
Dotson has now finished with exactly one catch in three straight games. That's technically better than average for him this season, as he's caught nine passes through 10 games, an average of 0.9 per contest.

Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Undergoes knee surgery
Aiyuk had surgery to repair the ACL and other damage in is right knee earlier this week, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
Aiyuk sustained at least ACL and MCL tears in that knee during a Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, so Lombardi's report indicates other areas may have been impacted in the hit that he took just before halftime in that game. Medical science has reached a point that Aiyuk could make enough progress in his recovery to be ready for Week 1 of the 2025 season, but additional damage to his right knee on top of what is known may delay his next game action. With Aiyuk out for the season, Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall will be the primary wide receivers for QB Brock Purdy the rest of the way.

Chris Conley WR | SF
49ers' Chris Conley: Good to go vs. Seattle
Conley (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Conley was unable to play this past Sunday against the Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices, but he was able to participate in Friday's session with no restrictions and will be good to go in Sunday's NFC West clash.

Jauan Jennings WR | MIN
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Cleared to play
Jennings (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
A mid-week addition to the injury report, Jennings was at least a limited participant in each practice and apparently will be fine for Sunday's game. He led the 49ers in targets (11) and receiving yards (93) during last week's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay, handling 90 percent snap share and 92 percent route share after missing the previous two games with a hip injury.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Gets back to full Friday
Collins (hamstring) practiced fully Friday.
The Texans designated Collins for return from injured reserve last Friday, and the wide receiver was limited in the ensuing session, listed as questionable and activated Saturday. He then was inactive this past Sunday against the Lions, setting up Week 11 as his first possible game action since injuring his right hamstring Sunday, Oct. 6 versus the Bills. Collins followed up Thursday's limited session with full participation one day later, putting him on such a path. He relayed to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston on Friday, "I feel like myself. It was hard on my mental." Collins also looked like normal self on the practice field, per Wilson, so he should be good for close to the workload of 10.8 targets per game from his four healthy appearances this season.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Won't be activated Week 11
Reynolds (hand) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reynolds won't be activated from injured reserve for Denver's Week 11 home game against the Falcons, but he was a full participant in practice all week after having his 21-day window to return opened Wednesday. Given that context, it wouldn't be surprising to see the wide receiver return to action Week 12 against the Raiders, though Reynolds would first have to be added to the active roster with an official transaction before he can suit up for a game.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Cleared to play Sunday
Hill (wrist) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders after practicing fully Friday.
After being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Hill was limited Thursday before being able to cap his practice week with a full session. The Dolphins' starting wideout thus is slated to continue to play through his wrist issue, just as he did in Monday night's 23-15 win over the Rams, when he logged an 87 percent snap share en route to catching three of his four targets for 16 yards and a touchdown and rushing twice for 11 yards.

Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Steelers' Van Jefferson: Cleared to play Sunday
Jefferson (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
After missing practice Wednesday, Jefferson was limited Thursday and upgraded to full Friday. The veteran wideout hasn't been a fantasy factor all season and could start losing playing time to trade acquisition Mike Williams as soon as this week.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: No injury designation
Metcalf (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco, SI's Corbin Smith reports.
A Week 10 bye apparently did the trick, with Metcalf managing full practice participation Wednesday through Friday. He should be ready for his usual, near-every-down role in his first appearance since Week 7.
