Weaver, who is officially questionable to suit up against the Rams on Sunday due to a hamstring issue, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cardinals No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison (calf) and depth wideout Greg Dortch (chest, IR) have already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup, so Weaver could have a big role if he's able to suit up. However, he's not trending in the direction of being able to do so after logging an FP/LP/DNP practice progression during the week. Needless to say, Arizona's wide-receiver corps is going to be severely depleted, especially if Weaver is indeed inactive. Michael Wilson should get all the targets he can handle, while the team's other WR options will include Andre Baccellia along with practice-squad elevations Trent Sherfield and Jalen Brooks.

Kincaid (hamstring/knee), who is officially questionable to take the field against Cincinnati on Sunday, is expected to try to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kincaid's hamstring injury kept him out of action for Buffalo's past three games. He dealt with an additional injury to his knee this week, but the third-year tight end managed a trio of limited practices. It sounds like he'll try to give it a go Sunday, though his official status probably won't be solidified until after he begins his pregame routine and and until the Bills release their list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. It's also worth noting that Sunday's game is expected to be played in wintery conditions -- including possible snow -- though it's uncertain if that will be a factor in Buffalo's decision to deploy Kincaid.

Olave, who is officially questionable to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay due to a lingering back issue, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Olave also dealt with the back issue last week, but he was able to play and logged a 4-47-1 receiving line in a loss to Miami. The veteran wideout sat out one practice and was limited in two others during Week 14 prep, but he appears to have done enough to put himself on a path to suit up again Sunday. Despite New Orleans' inconsistent quarterback play throughout the campaign, Olave has tied a career-high mark with five receiving touchdowns while posting 781 yards on 73 catches through 12 games.

Reed (foot/shoulder), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against Chicago, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Reed's last game action came in Week 2, when he broke his collarbone on an attempted catch versus Washington. The third-year wideout was designated to return Friday, Nov. 21, but he wasn't activated from IR until Saturday. That move signaled that Reed is likely to take the field in Sunday's big NFC North clash against the Bears. It remains to be seen if Reed will be under any sort of snap limit following the extended absence, but if he does suit up he should be among the top three in the Packers' wideout pecking order along with Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.

Burton didn't travel to Buffalo and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills for a non-injury-related reason, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

The 2024 third-round pick has yet to play in a game this season, including in Week 12 against the Patriots when Ja'Marr Chase served a suspension and in Week 13 when Tee Higgins sat out with a concussion. The second-year wideout will remain inactive once again this week.

The Jets placed McCrary-Ball (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Susanna Weir and Eric Allen of the team's official site report.

McCrary-Ball will see his second stint on injured reserve of the season after missing Week 4 through Week 11 with a hamstring injury as well. The linebacker was active versus the Ravens in Week 12, playing 92 percent of special teams snaps. He also contributed 29 defensive snaps and 23 special teams snaps to the Jets' Week 13 victory over the Falcons before once again succumbing to hamstring issues. The 26-year-old will have to spend at least the next four weeks on IR, with his only possible remaining appearance for the 2025 regular season being Week 18 against the Bills.

Jones (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Jones was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and was able to log full practice sessions throughout the week, but he will ultimately not get the nod to suit up for Sunday's game. The linebacker may not be physically ready to go despite the participation levels and will have to look toward a return for Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Wilson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Wilson was promoted to the No. 2 QB behind Tua Tagovailoa on Oct. 26, but a sudden illness means the quarterback may not be able to suit up against his former team. If Wilson's immune system is unable to fight off the sickness before Sunday's game, Quinn Ewers would serve as Tagovailoa's backup for the second time this season.

The Broncos signed Lewis to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Eric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Lewis was elevated from the practice squad three consecutive times before the Broncos' Week 13 bye, and he now must be signed to the active roster to continue to play for the team. The veteran tight end has been primarily used as a blocker, seeing 38 offensive snaps through three games as a replacement for tight ends Nate Adkins (knee) and Lucas Krull (foot). The Bronocs waived linebacker Garret Wallow in a corresponding move to make room for Lewis on the active roster, and the tight end will likely remain there until either Adkins or Krull can return to the field.

The Seahawks activated Reed (wrist/thumb) from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Reed is set to start his first game since Week 9 against the Commanders, when he was ruled out with a wrist injury. The starting defensive end has recovered from his surgery and is ready to reinforce an already formidable defense. Before his injury, Reed accumulated 17 tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, in eight regular-season games.
