D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Out Monday
Eskridge (ribs) will not play in Monday's game against the Eagles, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.
Eskridge finished the week as a non-participant at practice before getting a questionable designation. In his absence, Zach Charbonnet or DeeJay Dallas could see work at kick returner.

Rakim Jarrett WR | PIT
Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Designated off IR
The Buccaneers designated Jarrett (quadriceps) to return from injured reserve Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Jarrett had been out since suffering a quadriceps injury back in November but is now closer to making his return. The rookie undrafted free agent is now eligible to return to practice, and the team will have 21 days to officially activate him off injured reserve.

Chris Moore WR | WAS
Titans' Chris Moore: Involvement rebounds
Moore recorded three receptions on four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Texans.
Moore has seen his role fluctuate significantly in the last few weeks, as he played on only 44 percent of offensive snaps in the team's Week 14 win. That rebounded to 60 percent in Sunday's loss, and Moore responded with only his third multi-catch performance in the last eight games.

Jauan Jennings WR | MIN
49ers' Jauan Jennings: In concussion protocol
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings is in the concussion protocol, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Jennings logged a typical 41 percent snap share Sunday at Arizona on his way to two catches (on two targets) for 25 yards. In the wake of the contest, though, he'll now be subject to the protocol for head injuries in order to be cleared for game action. Jennings' activity level as the 49ers prep for a Week 16 matchup with the Ravens on Monday, Dec. 25 could be telling for his potential to play.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Unlikely to land on IR
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Brown (heel) likely won't be placed on injured reserve, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
Brown has had back-to-back abbreviated outings (Weeks 13 and 15) due to a lingering heel injury and hasn't recorded a catch since Week 12. Still, the Cardinals are holding off on shutting him down for the season, which a move to IR would result in. With the team now set to prepare for Sunday's visit to Chicago, Brown won't be listed on a practice report until Wednesday, but if he requires any absences down the stretch, Arizona will need to lean on Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Zach Pascal at wide receiver.

Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Cashes in long touchdown
Agnew caught both of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens. He also returned three kickoffs for 91 yards and one punt for 17 yards.
The veteran return man played just 10 offensive snaps but sparked the unit with a 65-yard touchdown in the third quarter for Jacksonville's lone score of the evening. Agnew missed the previous four games with a shoulder injury. He hasn't played a significant offensive role this season, but that could change down the stretch with Christian Kirk (groin) on injured reserve and Zay Jones (hamstring) again banged up.
-
Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Just 12 yards in loss
Washington caught four of six targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 23-7 loss to Baltimore.
The rookie sixth-round pick tied for third on the team in targets but didn't have any production of substance with a long reception of six yards. Washington played 45 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps and worked as the No. 3 wideout, and an increased role could be in store depending on the severity of Zay Jones' hamstring injury.
-
Michael Gallup WR | WAS
Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Just one grab in Buffalo
Gallup caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
Dak Prescott posted his lowest passing yards total of the season and completed just 21 passes, his lowest total since the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, giving few opportunities for the team's depth receiving options to make any kind of impact. Gallup has caught one pass or less in three of the last four games, seeing only one target in each of those contests, but he could see higher volume Week 16 if the road game against the Dolphins turns into a barn burner.
-
Skyy Moore WR | GB
Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Placed on IR with knee injury
Moore (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Moore will miss the remainder of the regular season. He left Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots due to knee swelling, and the injury is significant enough to require a stint on injured reserve. Moore finishes his disappointing sophomore campaign with 21 catches for 244 yards on 38 targets, three carries for 23 yards and one overall touchdown, but he'll be eligible to return for the divisional round of the playoffs if the Chiefs still are alive at that point.
-
Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: One reception in win
Pierce had one reception for 13 yards on five targets in Saturday's win over Pittsburgh.
Pierce once again had high usage by playing on 65 of the offense's 67 snaps and went on 34 routes, but he wasn't a huge factor in the offense. Indy's limited deep passing game has resulted in just two games where Pierce has amassed more than 50 yards receiving.
