Metchie (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Ravens.

Metchie, who was listed as limited Tuesday and Wednesday, logged a full practice Thursday, which paves the way for him to face Baltimore. Given that Noah Brown (shoulder) is now on injured reserve, Metchie should have an opportunity to be a key cog in the Texans' WR corps this weekend alongside Nico Collins and Robert Woods (hip). In Houston's wild-card win over Cleveland this past Saturday, Metchie logged a 76 percent snap share while catching all three of his targets for 44 yards.

Woods (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Ravens.

Woods was deemed a limited practice participant Tuesday through Thursday, but the wideout nonetheless will be available Saturday. In the process, he should have a chance to reclaim a key role alongside top WR Nico Collins, with Noah Brown (shoulder) having landed on injured reserve earlier this week. In that context, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson also are candidates to see added opportunities this weekend.

Duvernay (back) is in line to be be activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Texans, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Duvernay, who was deemed a full practice participant Tuesday through Thursday, is officially listed as questionable by the Ravens, but it looks like the wideout -- who last suited up Week 14 -- is slated to return to action this weekend. Assuming that's the case, he'll provide the team with added pass-catching depth and presumably reclaim his key role in Baltimore's return game.

Godwin (knee) was limited at Thursday's walkthrough.

Godwin had practice restrictions due to a knee issue back in Weeks 15 and 16, and his day off last Friday also was attributed to a knee concern. At Wednesday's walkthrough, he logged no activity for the same reason, but his ability to get back on the field one day later seems to imply he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game at Detroit. In the end, Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Godwin enters the weekend with a designation.

Raymond (knee) was a non-participant at practice Thursday.

Raymond has yet to experience any on-field work since injuring his knee Week 18 versus the Vikings, but coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday that the wide receiver is "better," and the Lions won't know for sure if he has a chance to return this weekend until "Friday or Saturday." As a result, Raymond's listing on Friday's practice report may be key in terms of his odds of suiting up for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Buccaneers.

The Eagles signed Watkins to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

The 25-year-old wideout had spent the entire year with Cleveland's practice squad and he has yet to appear in an NFL game. Watkins was able to haul in 16 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns for the Browns in their three preseason outings last summer, and he'll look to make a push for a spot on Philadelphia's active roster this offseason.

Watson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round contest at San Francisco, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Watson put an end to a five-game absence this past Sunday at Dallas due to a strained right hamstring, but the Packers contained him to 23 of 56 offensive snaps. The result was one catch for nine yards, while fellow wide receiver Romeo Doubs (6-151-1 on six targets) dominated the attention of quarterback Jordan Love. Watson was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate before having his reps capped at Wednesday's walkthrough, but the activity was enough for Green Bay to clear him to suit up again this weekend.

Davis (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Davis has yet to be listed as anything other than a DNP on Bills injury reports since hurting his knee Week 18 at Miami. The wideout missed Buffalo's wild-card win against the Steelers as a result, and he may be in danger of being a spectator for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Chiefs with no activity to speak of so far this week. If Davis ultimately isn't able to suit up, Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield will be the beneficiaries at wide receiver alongside Stefon Diggs.

Wilson secured three of seven targets for 37 yards during Saturday's season-ending wild-card playoff loss to the Chiefs.

Wilson drew his highest target total of the 2023 campaign during Miami's sole playoff appearance, capping a stretch run in which his involvement on offense grew, despite lacking a notable uptick in production. Across 15 regular-season appearances, the 28-year-old wideout secured 17 of 38 targets for 296 yards and three touchdowns, better marks across the board than his 2022 season (also 15 games played). Wilson has emerged as a serviceable No. 3 option behind the dynamic duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but due to the contract restructure he signed back in August, as Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports, his deal will now void automatically void this offseason. It's possible, though, that Miami could pursue re-signing Wilson to a team-friendly deal.

Gray's (shoulder) will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the postseason after his 21-day evaluation window expired Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Gray was designated to return from IR in late December, but he will ultimately be forced to remain sidelined for the rest of the playoffs after his practice window passed without him being added to the 53-man roster. The wide receiver failed to appear in a game during the 2023 campaign and he'll now shift his focus to being ready to go for the 2024 season.
