Collins suffered a calf injury during Sunday's game at the Jets and is questionable to return.

Prior to his exit in the first quarter, Collins had hauled in his only target for 13 yards. With Tank Dell (fibula) out for the season, Texans are left with Noah Brown, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson at wide receiver.

Cooper (concussion/ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Cooper headed into Sunday with a questionable designation after he managed just one limited practice this week due to his two injuries, but his status for the Week 14 contest was mostly cleared up Saturday, when he was confirmed to have cleared the five-step concussion protocol. Despite his light practice activity this week, Cooper isn't expected to face any major restrictions with his snap count Sunday. Though the Browns haven't formally named a Week 14 starting quarterback, Cooper is expected to be on the receiving end of passes from Joe Flacco, who appears in line for a second consecutive start even though rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson has cleared concussion protocol.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Detroit.

Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season Saturday as a result of Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) being questionable for Sunday. Both Scott and Jones will suit up against the Lions, leaving Johnson still in search of his first game action since 2021.

Hollins (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

As expected, Hollins has been cleared to suit up for the first time since Week 9. However, his role remains a mystery. Hollins opened the season as the No. 2 wideout behind Drake London, but his role was decreasing before his multi-week absence. With Hollins sidelined, Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge and Scott Miller were splitting snaps, but they were unable to deliver consistent production. Hollins should see the field in Week 14, but he'll likely need to find the end zone to submit a quality fantasy performance.

Marshall (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at New Orleans.

Marshall hasn't seen the field since Week 10 and will once again be a healthy scratch for the Panthers. The 2021 second-round pick may not see the field again this season given his place on the depth chart.

Brown (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Brown -- who approached the contest listed as questionable -- was limited at Wednesday's practice, then logged a full session Thursday before closing out the week with a 'DNP' on Friday. With his Week 14 availability confirmed, Brown will have a chance to assume a key role in a Houston WR corps that also includes Nico Collins and Robert Woods and will be without Tank Dell (leg) for the rest of the season. In his return to action in Week 13 following a two-game absence due to a knee issue, Brown logged 55 of a possible 68 snaps on offense against the Broncos but was held without a catch on two targets. A bounce-back versus New York is plausible though barring any in-game setbacks or limitations, considering the numbers that Brown put up in Weeks 9 (6/153/1) and 10 (7/172/0).

Scott (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Lions.

Scott was a late addition to the team's injury report, popping up Friday with a hamstring injury. With Equanimeous St. Brown (pectoral) out, the Cincinnati product could see a boost in opportunities against Detroit.

Boyd (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Boyd was added to the injury report Thursday after apparently suffering an ankle injury in Wednesday's session. He still managed to practice in limited fashion both Thursday and Friday and will be set to fill his typical slot receiver role against the Colts.

Jones (illness) is active Sunday against the Lions.

Jones was a late add to the Bears' injury report Friday, but the 2022 third-round selection has recovered enough to suit up in Week 14. The 26-year-old has had a minimal role this season, but he could see a slight boost in snaps with Equanimeous St. Brown (pectoral) out.

Shaheed (thigh) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Panthers.

Shaheed hasn't practiced since hurting his thigh Week 12 in Atlanta and now will miss a second straight game as a result of the injury. Meanwhile, the Saints' No. 1 wide receiver, Chris Olave, has been under the weather since Thursday but will be available to the offense Sunday, with A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden, Keith Kirkwood and Marquez Callaway also on hand to pick up the slack at the position.
