  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Bills' Mecole Hardman: Activated from IR, still Q

    The Bills activated Hardman (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Hardman is now eligible to play in Week 16, but the final word on his status may not arrive until roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If cleared to suit up versus Cleveland, expect Hardman to handle a depth role at wide receiver and in the return game.

  • Bears' Maurice Alexander: Elevated to face Packers

    The Bears have elevated Alexander from the practice squad to the active roster for Saturday's game against Green Bay.

    Alexander will get a chance to make his regular-season debut for Chicago due to both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) being sidelined Saturday. Expect Alexander to handle a reserve role on offense while potentially also contributing on special teams.

  • Chris Blair WR | ATL

    Falcons' Chris Blair: Elevated for Week 16

    The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad Saturday in order for him to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney and Terrin Waack of the team's official site report.

    Blair will operate as a depth wide receiver while also contributing on special teams versus Arizona. He handled three snaps on offense and five snaps on special teams versus the Buccaneers in Week 15. Blair will revert to the practice squad after Sunday's contest.

  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jamal Agnew: Waived by Falcons

    Atlanta waived Agnew on Saturday, Tori McElhaney and Terrin Waack of the team's official site report.

    Agnew spent most of the 2025 campaign operating as one of the Falcons' top kick returners, but he was a healthy scratch in Week 15 and has now been cut by the team. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, Agnew will likely pursue a spot on a practice squad elsewhere in the league.

  • Van Jefferson WR | WAS

    Titans' Van Jefferson: On track to play Week 16

    Jefferson (back) is trending toward being cleared to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Jefferson sustained a back injury during the Titans' Week 15 loss to the 49ers. The sixth-year wideout posted a DNP-LP-FP practice log during Week 16 prep, and while he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Jefferson is trending in the right direction. Over his last nine games, Jefferson has caught 20 passes (on 43 targets) for 256 yards and one touchdown.

  • Anthony Gould WR | IND

    Colts' Anthony Gould: Won't return Monday

    Gould (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against the 49ers, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

    The Oregon State product suffered a foot injury in the Week 14 loss to the Jaguars and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game. Gould is an important part of the Colts' special-teams unit, having recorded 647 kick-return and 131 punt-return yards across 11 contests this season. While he remains out in Week 16, Ameer Abdullah and Josh Downs will likely serve as Indianapolis' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

  • Dareke Young WR | LV

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: No offensive reps

    Young didn't play an offensive snap in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.

    Young missed the last seven games with a quadriceps injury, and his role in Week 16 was limited, as expected. The 2022 seventh-round pick is the No. 5 wide receiver in the rotation and won't be a dependable option down the stretch.

  • Cody White WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cody White: No targets once again

    White wasn't targeted in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.

    White logged just six offensive snaps as the team's No. 4 wide receiver. The Seahawks frequently use two tight ends or a fullback, leaving little opportunity for White to get into the mix. He'll likely continue to have a limited role in Week 17 versus the Panthers.

  • Texans' Christian Kirk: Under the weather, iffy for Week 16

    Kirk (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Kirk popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to an illness. The team will monitor his recovery over the weekend to determine whether he can play, but his official status may not be known until the Texans announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Kirk played just 16 snaps on offense Week 15 against the Cardinals while not recording a target, so a potential absence from him would lead to a small number of snaps being available for absorption for Xavier Hutchinson, Braxton Berrios (who has been a healthy scratch since Week 11) and rookie wideouts Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins.

  • Khadarel Hodge WR | ATL

    Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Moved to IR

    The Falcons moved Hodge (shoulder) to injured reserve Friday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Hodge was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals and was promptly moved to IR. This move will end the wide receiver's season, as the mandatory four-week reserve period will extend through Week 18. Hodge finishes the season with three receptions for 31 yards on 10 targets through 12 games. In a corresponding move, the Falcons signed safety Jammie Robinson to stabilize an injured defensive back room.
