A.J. Brown WR | NE
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Leaves Sunday with knee injury
Brown departed Sunday's game at the Giants due to a knee injury.
At the end of a nine-yard catch, his first of the contest, Brown lost a fumble and then remained on the turf in visible pain while Eagles trainers tended to one of his legs. He then limped off the field and spent some time in the sideline tent before the locker room visit. The extent of the injury isn't clear, but with DeVonta Smith (ankle) sidelined Week 18, the team may eventually downgrade Brown from questionable to out with the upcoming postseason in mind.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Stellar performance to end season
Jefferson brought in 12 of 14 targets for 192 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-12 yards in the Vikings' 30-20 loss the Lions on Sunday.
The Vikings were eliminated from postseason contention with the loss, but Jefferson certainly finished off the season in grand fashion. The ultra-talented wideout terrorized the Lions secondary throughout the afternoon, comfortably leading Minnesota in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording a nifty 38-yard touchdown grab. Jefferson's totals were also season highs across the board, and with the prolific afternoon, he finishes the season with 1,074 receiving yards in only 10 games despite having played with four different quarterbacks.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Leaves finale with neck injury
Wilson cleared concussion protocol but exited Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots with a neck injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. He caught two of five targets for 34 yards, bringing his season totals to 95 catches for 1,042 yards and three touchdowns on 168 targets.
Wilson dressed in all 17 games for the second consecutive season, but the 2022 first-round draft pick took a modest step back after racking up 1,103 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie. Poor quarterback play once again held Wilson back, as Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles just four plays into the season, paving the way for a combination of Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian to share the workload under center for the Jets. The receiver Wilson will have plenty of time to recover from his neck injury in the offseason, and his production could benefit significantly in 2024 if Rodgers is able to play near his pre-injury level.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Being evaluated for concussion
Tillman is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Tillman went to the sideline for an evaluation after he took a big shot to the back of his head with just under 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He caught three passes on six targets for 43 yards before exiting Sunday's contest.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Won't return Week 18
Raymond (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Raymond sustained the knee injury in the second half of Sunday's contest and will not return. He finishes the day with two catches for 50 yards and returned four punts for 89 yards.

Ray-Ray McCloud WR | CHI
49ers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Will play Sunday
McCloud (ribs) is good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
McCloud was activated off injured reserve Saturday before subsequently getting a questionable designation. He will now be available to play in his first game since Week 12. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at receiver and contributing on special teams assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Undergoing concussion evaluation
Wilson has exited Sunday's game against the Patriots to be evaluated for a concussion, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Wilson sustained a hard hit to the head when Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers collided with him following an incomplete pass in the third quarter. The second-year wideout has helped off the field before being taken to the locker room, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Wilson exited the game with two catches (on five targets) for a team-high 34 receiving yards. With the Jets already eliminated from playoff contention, it's likely that the team will take every precaution with the 2022 first-round pick, who came into Sunday's action with 93 receptions for 1,008 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Rams' Cooper Kupp: Officially inactive for Week 18
Kupp (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Sean McVay had already revealed at the beginning of Week 18 prep that Kupp would be held out for rest purposes in the regular-season finale, but the Rams still opted to list the receiver as doubtful on their final injury report. As anticipated, Kupp is inactive for the contest, leaving Puka Nacua, Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell, Ben Skowronek, Tyler Johnson and Austin Trammell as the team's available receivers for Sunday's game. Kupp will return to action in the wild-card round, when the Rams play a road game against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.

Parris Campbell WR | DAL
Giants' Parris Campbell: Won't play Sunday
Campbell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Campbell will finish the 2023 season as a healthy scratch for the fourth consecutive game. He finishes the year with 20 catches on 27 targets for 104 yards, in addition to 191 kick return yards, over 12 games.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Active in Week 18
Wicks (chest) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks didn't play last Sunday at Minnesota due to a chest injury, and despite following up a limited walkthrough Wednesday with back-to-back full sessions to end Week 18 prep, he was deemed questionable ahead of this Sunday's game. Along with Wicks being available to the Packers offense, Jayden Reed (chest) also is suiting up, while Christian Watson (hamstring) will miss a fifth game in a row. Wicks thus will mix into three-wide sets with Reed and Romeo Doubs as he looks to build upon his 33-520-2 line on 51 targets in 14 appearances this season.
