Devin Duvernay WR | ARI
Ravens' Devin Duvernay: Cleared to practice
The Ravens designated Duvernay (back) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Duvernay, who last saw game action in Week 14, is thus slated to return to practice ahead of the Ravens' postseason opener during the divisional round. Though Duvernay was limited to four catches (on nine targets) for 18 yards in 13 contests prior to landing on IR, he served as the team's primary returner. Assuming he experiences no setbacks in his return to practice, Duvernay's potential availability for the divisional round should provide a big boost to Baltimore's special-teams units.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Jaguars' Zay Jones: Targeted nine times in finale
Jones caught six of nine targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Titans.
Jones played the most offensive snaps (66) of any Jaguars pass catcher Sunday in his return from a two-game absence with both knee and hamstring injuries. The veteran wideout's six receptions were a season high, and he concluded the campaign with 34 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns across nine appearances. The 28-year-old will enter the final season of his three-year deal with Jacksonville in 2024, and his production could improve if he's able to maintain better health and if the Jaguars make no major additions to their pass-catching corps.

K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Two catches in loss
Osborn caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Lions.
Osborn's underwhelming performance against the Lions proved to be another example of the receiver's inconsistency in the 2023 campaign. Not including his rookie season in which he didn't play a single offensive snap, the veteran wideout recorded career lows in receptions (48), yards (540) and touchdowns (three) in 2023. Osborn is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so it's possible he may find himself in a new locale when the 2024 if the Vikings feel they can find an upgrade for the No. 3 receiver spot.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Bills' Gabe Davis: Won't practice Wednesday
Davis (knee) isn't scheduled to participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Davis is dealing with a PCL sprain after suffering the injury in the Bills' 21-14 win over the Dolphins in Week 18. While Davis' injury isn't considered a major concern, head coach Sean McDermott told Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com that the wideout is considered day-to-day as Sunday's wild-card playoff contest against the Steelers approaches.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Hits paydirt in season finale
Addison caught four of eight targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Lions.
Addison and fellow wideout Justin Jefferson both played 93 percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps Sunday and dominated the overall target share among Minnesota pass catchers. Throughout his rookie season, Addison showed that he can be a key playmaker in the Minnesota passing attack alongside Jefferson and tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) heading into 2024. While playing in all 17 games in 2023, Addison finished with 70 receptions for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Marquise Goodwin WR | CLE
Browns' Marquise Goodwin: Still dealing with injury
Goodwin (knee) logged a limited practice Tuesday.
Goodwin has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, which he was able to play through in Week 16, but it forced him to miss the team's 17 loss to the Bengals. He'll work to ramp up his activity level in practice Wednesday and Thursday, before the team heads to Houston, and increase his chances of suiting up against the Texans in their wild-card matchup Saturday.

Josh Downs WR | IND
Colts' Josh Downs: Three grabs in Week 18
Downs caught all three of his targets for 48 yards in Saturday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.
Downs paced the Colts in receiving yards in the season finale, wrapping up his rookie campaign with 68 catches for 771 yards and two touchdowns on 98 targets. His steady involvement in the passing attack down the stretch should bode well for Downs as he continues to grow into his role within the Indianapolis offense heading into Year 2. Quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) should return to full health for the 2024 season, which could bolster the outlooks for Downs and the Colts' other passing-game weapons.
-
Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: Held catchless in season finale
Pierce went without a reception on four targets in Saturday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.
Pierce was held without a catch for the second time this season in what has been an underwhelming campaign for the 23-year-old. In 17 games, the second-year wideout finished the season with 32 receptions for 514 yards and two touchdowns. Pierce remains under contract with the Colts through the 2025 season, so the speedster will look to continue to improve and grow in his role within the passing attack. The return of Anthony Richardson (shoulder) at quarterback in 2024 should help to make the offense more dynamic, boosting Pierce's big-play potential.

Deven Thompkins WR | ATL
Buccaneers' Deven Thompkins: One reception in Week 18 win
Thompkins brought in his only target for one yard in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Thompkins didn't see any return opportunities for a change, but he was able to record a catch for the second straight game to close out the regular season. The second-year speedster wrapped up the 2023 campaign with new career highs in receptions (17), receiving yards (83) and targets (25) while also scoring his first NFL touchdown. However, Thompkins' primary value heading into the postseason is on special teams, as he finished the regular season with 561 total return yards.

David Moore WR | CAR
Buccaneers' David Moore: Quiet in season finale
Moore brought in his only target for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Moore played his usual deep reserve role, logging only one more snap from scrimmage (17) than he did for special teams (16). Moore flashed with a 2-68-1 line in Week 15, but he didn't appear in a regular-season contest until Week 12 and wrapped up the campaign with five receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown on seven targets over seven games. Moore does have postseason experience from his days with the Seahawks early in his career, but he'll likely remain slotted into the No. 4 receiver role during Tampa Bay's wild-card matchup against the Eagles on Monday night.
