Chris Moore WR | WAS
Titans' Chris Moore: Cleared to play Week 17
Moore (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Moore was a limited participant in all three of Tennessee's practices during the week, but he isn't in danger of sitting out come Sunday. The big-play threat hasn't seen enough volume to make a consistent impact. Moore has just 20 touches all season, though six of them have gone for at least 29 yards.

Rakim Jarrett WR | PIT
Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Won't return in Week 17
Jarrett (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Jarrett has missed the Buccaneers' last five games with this quadriceps issue, and even after a full week of practice, he's in line to miss his sixth consecutive outing Sunday. The 22-year-old wide receiver out of Maryland will need to be activated to Tampa Bay's active roster in order to suit up, and he'll look to return in Week 18.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
49ers' Deebo Samuel: Cleared for Week 17
Samuel (neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington.
The dual-threat WR upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being listed as questionable the previous two days. Samuel should be fine to handle his usual role and will be in a good spot for efficient production against a subpar defense that has three starters missing from the secondary this week.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Jaguars' Zay Jones: Questionable after limited practice
Jones (knee/hamstring) remained limited in practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Jones missed Jacksonville's previous game but has a chance to return Sunday for what would be his ninth appearance in 16 opportunities this season. With Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) ruled out, Jones would have C.J. Beathard as his quarterback against Carolina's stingy secondary if the wide receiver suits up.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Questionable after limited practice
Flowers (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Flowers got back on the practice field Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, but he managed only a limited session, so the rookie could be in danger of missing a game for the first time in his NFL career. Final word on Flowers' availability may not come until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff between the 11-4 Dolphins and 12-3 Ravens.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Listed as questionable
Metcalf (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Metcalf was a mid-week addition to the injury report after sitting out Thursday's practice. Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports that Metcalf wasn't present at the start of practice Friday, suggesting the wideout at least is in some danger of landing on the inactive list ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Listed as questionable, should play
Pittman (concussion/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders after logging full practices Thursday and Friday.
Per JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site, Pittman -- who says he feels "great" at this stage -- cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Friday and "should be ready to roll," noted head coach Shane Steichen with regard to the wideout's status for this weekend's game. Fortunately for those planning to use Pittman in Week 17 fantasy lineups, the Colts kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. Barring any unexpected setbacks, he should be back after being inactive for the team's Week 16 loss to the Falcons.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Snap leader at WR
Tillman caught one of four targets for eight yards in Thursday's 37-20 win over the Jets in Week 17.
Tillman entered the game expected to take on a larger role with Amari Cooper (heel) inactive, and he took on increased interest after Elijah Moore entered the NFL's concussion protocol during the game. The rookie led the Browns wideouts with 57 snaps (95 percent) and three of his four targets were in the red zone. Cleveland has extra preparation and healing time before the season finale against the Bengals, and either or both Cooper and Moore could be available. With the Browns having qualified for the postseason, that may enter the decision-making process regarding the availability of the injured receivers Week 18.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Off Week 17 injury report
Hill (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens after participating fully in practice Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Hill missed one game due to an ankle injury but led the Dolphins with 99 receiving yards in his return last week. He isn't expected to have any limitations come Sunday, and Hill should see plenty of targets against the stout Ravens secondary in the absence of fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle).

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Ruled out for Week 17
Coach Sean Payton said Friday that Sutton (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Sutton departed in the first half of this past Sunday's loss to the Patriots and eventually was diagnosed with a concussion. He proceeded to miss practice both Wednesday and Thursday before the Broncos made a decision on his availability for Week 17. With Sutton sitting out Sunday, the Broncos' receiving corps should be paced by Jerry Jeudy, with Brandon Johnson, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and potentially Marvin Mims (hamstring) mixing in behind him.
