Wallace is active ahead of Saturday's game against the Steelers.

With both Odell Beckham (rest) and Zay Flowers (calf) missing Saturday's affair, Wallace could be in line for increased snaps in Baltimore's wide receiver corps. The 24-year-old is expected to serve as the Ravens' No. 3 WR behind Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor, and he'll look to make his first catch of the season in Week 18.

The Vikings signed Jackson to the 53-man roster Saturday.

The 26-year-old's signing will ensure some extra depth at wide receiver for the remainder of the season, as Jalen Nailor (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Jackson has already appeared in two games for Minnesota this year, failing to record a stat and playing 22 total snaps (two offensive and 20 on special teams).

Flowers (calf) is listed as inactive Saturday against the Steelers.

Flowers played through a calf injury during the Ravens' Week 17 win against the Dolphins en route to three catches (on three targets) for 106 yards and one touchdown on a 66 percent share of snaps. Having said that, he wasn't able to practice during Week 18 prep due to the same issue, and with the team having locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, he'll be afforded two weeks off to get healthy for a divisional-round matchup Saturday, Jan. 20 or Sunday, Jan. 21.

Nailor (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Nailor had already been ruled out for the Vikings' regular-season finale, but he'll be forced to miss the team's next four games after going on IR. Unless Minnesota is able to make it to the Super Bowl, the second-year wideout's season is over. Nailor has struggled to stay on the field this year, appearing in just six games and catching three passes for 29 yards.

Agnew (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

This move comes as no surprise considering Agnew suffered a fracture in his lower leg in the second quarter of the Jaguars' Week 17 win over the Panthers. The 28-year-old wideout finishes his 2023 regular-season campaign with 14 catches for 225 yards and one touchdown. Additionally, Agnew returned 15 kicks and 14 punts for for 535 total yards, averaging just over 28 yards per return. D'Ernest Johnson and Parker Washington are expected to assume Jacksonville's kick and punt return duties for the remainder of the year.

The Bengals elevated Morgan to their active roster Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Morgan was elevated to Cincinnati's active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver due to Tee Higgins (hamstring) being likely to miss the team's season finale. The 27-year-old Morgan has already appeared in two games for the Bengals this season, failing to record a stat while playing 34 total snaps (four offensive and 30 on special teams).

Kirk (groin) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After practicing in limited fashion all week, Kirk was seemingly trending in this direction. Although he is now on the active roster, the pass catcher remains questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Titans. Final confirmation on his status will depend on how he feels during his pre-game workout.

Kirk (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup for the Titans, appears likely to be activated off injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It appears as if Kirk, who is eligible to be activated off injured reserve at any time, could suit up Sunday, but in order for that to occur the Jaguars must first have him rejoin the active roster. It helps that Kirk also managed to practice in limited fashion all week, giving more credence to Rapoport's report. If the move does get made, expect the productive wide receiver to still be technically listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's contest, with a pre-game workout likely determining whether he'll officially play.

Pascal is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Pascal popped up on the Cardinals' injury report with a hamstring issue Thursday and has since logged a pair of limited practice sessions. The veteran receiver has played a limited role for Arizona this season, and he hasn't caught a pass since Week 4 against San Francisco. If Pascal is unable to suit up Sunday, Dan Chisena could be signed to the active roster from the practice squad to provide wideout depth Week 18.

Gray (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Gray remains on injured reserve but is eligible to be activated prior to Sunday's contest. He's yet to play this season but could have an opportunity to see offensive playing time against Los Angeles with Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk expected to rest.
