Chark secured six of eight targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' 33-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Carolina.

The Bryce Young-Chark connection, dormant most of the season, came alive at an opportune time Sunday, with the speedy veteran bringing in 11- and 10-yard scoring grabs in the fourth quarter. Chark tied for the team lead in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards, and the pair of scores pushed his season total (five) to his best showing in that category since the 2020 season. Chark's reception and yardage numbers were also season-best figures, sending him into a Week 17 road matchup against a suspect Jaguars secondary with plenty of momentum.

Moore (ankle) returned to Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Moore had his right ankle rolled up on by an Arizona defender on his first catch of the game. He spent time laying on the turf in pain and then a lengthy spell in the sideline tent. When he emerged, Moore had a large wrap on the ankle, but he'll attempt to play through the pain Sunday.

Moore injured his right ankle during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

Moore was targeted by Justin Fields on the quarterback's first pass of the game, which he hauled in for a six-yard gain. As Moore was taken to the ground, his right ankle was rolled up on, and he remained on the turf for a spell before making his way to the sideline with team trainers. He then visited the medical tent, and after he emerged he had a large wrap on the ankle in question and walked with a visible limp. Officially, Moore is questionable to return.

Wicks (chest) won't return to Sunday's game in Carolina, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Wicks took a hit as he was tumbling into the end zone at the end of a 21-yard touchdown catch just before halftime. Afterward, he was seen in visible pain on the sideline, seeming to favor the right side of his chest, and team doctors ultimately wouldn't clear him to reenter the contest. Wicks thus will finish Week 16 with two catches (on two targets) for 29 yards and the aforementioned score. The Packers' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with both Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe/chest) inactive, so Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton are the remaining healthy options at the position.

Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Brooks once again is a healthy scratch for Week 16 and hasn't seen the field since Week 12 against the Commanders. He has split his time between offense and special teams and has accumulated five catches for 63 yards in five games this season.

Cracraft is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

With Cracraft a healthy scratch Sunday, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are in line to lead Miami's Week 16 WR corps, with Cedrick Wilson, Braxton Berrios, Robbie Chosen and Chase Claypool also on hand to mix in. In eight games thus far, Cracraft has recorded an 8/103/1 receiving line on 10 targets.

Dortch (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday in Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After opening Week 16 prep with back-to-back absences due to a shoulder injury, Dortch mixed into drills Friday as a limited participant. Coach Jonathan Gannon then told Johnny Venerable of GoPHNX.com that Dortch was trending in the "right direction" to play in Sunday's game, which has come to pass. With the Cardinals' top wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) inactive, Dortch will be among the options at the position for quarterback Kyler Murray along with Michael Wilson and Rondale Moore.

Hill (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Hill, who was inactive for Miami's 30-0 Week 15 win over the Jets, was deemed questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday. With the star wideout's active status confirmed, Hill is in line to step back into his high-volume role in the Dolphins' passing attack Sunday, in the absence of any in-game setbacks or limitations. In the 13 games he's played in this season, Hill has racked up 97 catches (on 132 targets) for a league-high 1,542 yards and 12 TDs.

Addison (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

He'll remain sidelined for the entire second half of the Week 16 contest after sustaining the ankle injury during the return of a Lions interception with just under three minutes remaining in the second quarter. Addison finishes the day with one catch for two yards on four targets.

Wicks sustained a chest injury during Sunday's game at Carolina.

Wicks hauled in a 21-yard touchdown with 49 seconds remaining before halftime, but he also sustained a hit from a Panthers defender as he tumbled into the end zone. As the Packers returned to the sideline for the second half, Wicks was in visible discomfort on the bench. If he joins Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe/chest) as unavailable for the rest of Sunday, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton will be Green Bay's available wide receivers.
